Imagine what our D would have looked like w/o him.

Stories like his are why I'm proud to be a Tech fan - loved Sean Bedford's story too. These guys are true student athletes.

Juanyah starting Safety. I guess we’ll never know, nice to have a bridge guy for a new defense

Dude has a great head on his shoulders. Glad we got him.

I think malik was brought up with the knowledge he might be training his replacement. Thomas just never did quite enough to take the job.

I assume a company like Goldman Sachs would be an option but what other companies could that field be useful?

Malik would have been a real asset to the team, even with avg performance, because of his knowledge/info/communication//leadership/ and experience. But he has in fact led the team in tackles, hustled by example, made plays left and right, and really been a consistent playmaker in every game. Great person and player and a real asset to GT..

Quite literally every single company that manages stock portfolios. These companies hunt for *anyone* with a CS major. He not only has CS, but he has specifically crafted majors to work in this field. Micro trading algorithms with super computers located as close to Wall Street as possible is a huge industry right now. I am not sure if this is specifically what he wants to do, but it is something he can.

Thanks... that’s sounds kinda ... ah never mind.

I don’t see any other school offering this. How in the hell he did this and play football and earn all academic ACC.

“The degree is rigorous: The QCF program's 12 courses demand that students develop proficiency in multiple programming languages and sophisticated mathematical modeling techniques to be used as tools in the navigation of the practical and theoretical aspects of the finance industry”

This.

... or he could launder money for large criminal enterprises.


Wait, never mind, that's what you said.

Other big business (think Walmart, Amazon) could use someone with those skill sets as well. Determining market trends or spending habits across different areas and times.

Moneyball is actually a very interesting application of this field. Minimizing salary expenditure by identifying metrics that can maximize team performance. Now the CS comes in when you take it to the next level and begin automating and scraping even more data.

This has got to be high 6 figures coming out.

Maybe a buck and a quarter. You have to be CEO of a fair size company to pull down high 6 figures.

Location and job will play into it as well. If you are writing programs that manage a portfolio on Wall Street, you might be getting around 200k and then bonus based on portfolio performance.

If you work as a business analyst for a big company, 100-150k with whatever options they provide.

Certainly, the closer to the money you are, the larger your earning potential will be.
