Actually, I'm pretty sure discerning robots will turn to the Japanese.

I mean, robots wanna get laid, too.

Lead Graphics architect for the chips most of you probably play EQ on.

Regarding the IT discussion, that's all well and good, but I'd recommend for someone starting out that you pursue development instead. There's massive demand for these jobs and like zero supply. I've interviewed hundreds of developer applicants for jobs. At one point I wanted to hire a developer and could find *zero* qualified Americans. We had to fly out to Russia, China, India, and Eastern Europe for weeks to comb schools to find people.

There are just no Americans to fit the massive demand for software developers. I would recommend learning to code, and you'll be in huge demand. Honestly if you're a reasonably intelligent person, you can be an okay coder, and you'll never want for a job.

It's so bad that companies are sending engineers to high schools to try to get more kids to study comp sci:

There are likely to be 150,000 computing jobs opening up each year through 2020, according to an analysis of federal forecasts by the Association for Computing Machinery, a professional society for computing researchers. But despite the hoopla around start-up celebrities like Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, fewer than 40,000 American students received bachelor’s degrees in computer science during 2010, the National Center for Education Statistics estimates. And the wider job market remains weak.

They will download a repair program or upload themselves into a physical repair chassis.

This 100%. I used to do IT for the Air force and managed some global networks and had a Top Secret clearance. I couldnt find a job to save my life here in PA, but goddamn if I dont see developer positions EVERYWHERE. So Im personally going back to school on my GI Bill and going to get my CS degree.
