Where's the insult? You mentioned that you are a journalism major, so I suggested a course of action that could parlay that into a startup job, which is exactly what you're asking about.
Excellent copywriters can make very good money, and can be integral to the success of any company. I don't see any way that this is somehow "insulting".
If you're hellbent on doing something from the tech side, then I offered advice on the foundational skills/knowledge you should start with.
- roperopestomp 15y agoTelling someone in journalism that they should go into PR is an insult. There is gaping chasm of difference between those two professions. You also made a huge assumption about my existing CS knowledge and what I'd like to do with it. I was asking if I should persue a degree in it, not whether I should study it at all, and the main factor here is the time involved, not the difficulty of learning it. Aside from that, your language was dismissive and presumptuous, and what you said, more or less, was "better stick to journalism, kid, anything else is too much for you." Re-read what you wrote and really think about what it says.
