The reason I am doing CS is because sitting in front of a computer all day seems to be the only job I could do without killing myself.
I don't have much love for computers but I don't hate them either.

This thread gave me cancer.
What reason is there to go STEM aside from money?
t. EE grad. All the disks in my classes who talked about their passion for the subjects were pretty much all weeded out by the end.

this
I can't make a living playing guitar or skateboarding
so I chose something that somewhat interests me and can support my lifestyle
>>54213579
I enjoy my work in STEM.
just because you're miserable studying something doesn't mean everyone is miserable studying that thing. don't be one of those autistic people who doesn't understand that everyone else has a different experience of the world than you.

Bitch, my portfolio includes multiple commits to the Linux kernel, only a quarter of which were pulled, including two which were pulled by Linus himself.
On top of that, I have devoted an unheard of amount of time to working on the Coreboot project. And my LoC count nearly exceeds half that of Minecraft's (~150,000 for those counting).
While you spent your dwindling days in Discrete Maths IIVIX: Session WhatEverTheFuck-and-four-quarters with your thumbs up your arse, I was busy writing the very code on which your computer most likely now runs and thrives.
If I felt like it, I could easily cripple the kernel to panic on your machine, and your machine only. Trust me, Kid. I can reck your shit anywhere, anytime.
But, lucky you, I'm a generous and forgiving code God; I'll let your precious Gentoo box live... for now.
I have no advice to give you, because it's already too late: you've fallen for the college scam and are now helplessly in it's eternal clutches. All you can do now is watch as I gracefully steal all your job offerings, fuck the office bitches, and sit on a fat six-figure paycheck; while you jerk your tiny dick behind the BestBuy Geek Squad service counter, and suck dicks for Apple products.
Enjoy guzzling that ropey cum, CS cuck.
>I'm a CS major because I'm not disciplined enough to learn the skills on my own
I'll admit it.
What major is /g/? When I decided to go to college instead of trade school or being a NEET, I figured I would major in something that make me develop skills to get a job, like CS (aside from self-teaching languages).
If you are interest in a career in CS, what other major should you be in college?

Then why dont you patch it? oh cause you be a shit.
>I'm a CS major
Isn't this absolutely true in America? I heard people graduate and go into $120K Java jobs in no time.

Just self teach. Self teaching is the best option as long as you aren't an idiot and are self-motivated.
>>54214027
No degree no job.
>>54214027
Oh I mostly agree, but what about my other question.
In my applications to internships, I've come across "higher level" positions that ask for degrees. What do you about that?
To me, it seems that if you combine the self-discipline of actually teaching yourself concepts and taking classes, you will be golden.

Major
Computer Information Systems. Fuck programming for money. Just let me do sysadmin shit. I get to sit and do nothing 90% of the time by making sure I do net-installs during downtime, and not fucking shit up.
I'll do coding in my free time if I feel like it.

Autism, memes aside high-functioning autists are supposedly better at IT work because of attention to detail.
