what can you sell online that Wal-Mart and Amazon don't already carry with lower prices due to bulk discounts, economies of scale, and advanced tax structuring, along with free shipping and cheaper processing fees on those credit card payments from their special merchant gateway deals?

don't think so. the biggest barrier is that Amazon, a franchise chain, or some iPhone app has already undercut the best you could possibly offer.

so just be in the top .1% of ppl so you can be the most popular teacher on a topic that hasn't already been covered, while competing with free shit created by aspies and academics like Wikipedia and the Harvard / MIT e-Courses?

pay.

when i was in college, the 1st generation tech companies like microsoft, cisco, oracle, juniper, etc still paid well. but now it seems like tech companies are paying way the fuck more than they did then on a relative basis.

yeah, and COL is worse if you're stuck in SFBA.

but there seem to be better long-term options. i remember when i was in college, if you went into tech, you'd basically top out at low 6 figs / high 5 figs unless u got an mba and went into the biz side

It's easier to get finance / management consulting than it was circa 09-11. That draws some away from the biglaw talent pool.

Tech is also bigger and more people know to major in EE/CS.

It's much easier to get finance than it was pre-recession. Competition for investment banking jobs out of both UG & MBA was insane pre-2008.

Tech seems pretty great. EE/CS guys I know who got coding jobs at random startups seem to have pretty chill lives making 100k+, <40hrs per week, casual dress code.

Startup wasn't the right word. They're semi-established firms doing B2B stuff looking to IPO.
