Decisions Decisions

The most important part of getting to the role is a good school, there are many factors to consider such as bright futures, coding programs, and how I feel about the school.

I also need to consider pricing and payment for my future to be properly payed.

The Big 2

Do note most companies prefer experience over fancy degrees in this field as it is very hands on.

MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Id prefer to go here only on a scholarship which is very improbable.

FSU (Florida State University) This is most likely my ideal school, with programs like Bright Futures and a strong computer science program, this is a strong school

Costs

To Live in Leon County (FSU) I would need to make about $30,000 a year without worrying about housing.

To live in my home county (Dink County) $50,000 a year.

Payments

This is how much money I make for each stage of being a Data Engineer
