What's the go-to major nowadays for "fuck off i just want a job"?
Most people seem to say it's computer science, but apparently that's becoming saturated to hell. I was thinking civil or aerospace engineering, since those can't get outsourced and haven't seen an explosion of enrollment the way CS has.
Lmao I went to Berkeley. CS had something like a 2.5 GPA requirement in order to declare the major.
Now its like 3.5 with lower division classes having 2,500 kids in it.

Not getting a degree at all and just working.

University of Washington's CS department has gotten so competitive you basically need a 4.0 to get in, and even that's not a guarantee.
Which led to tons of rejects applying to Applied Math, so now you need a 4.0 to get into that.
Which led to tons of rejects applying to Electrical Engineering, so now you need a 4.0 to get into that.
In all, about 5-6 majors have become competitive-admissions solely due to CS rejects, including applied math, regular math, EE, information sciences, and...

Been orbiting for a year and a half a shy introverted girl and kinda admitted my feelings to her last summer. She said that I am a 2nd degree friend and just can't open herself to other plans with me.
I ghosted her until january and out of nowhere, she wishes me happy new year and says that I look handsome in my nee profile picture. Talked to her a bit and invite her to go out for coffee but says she had to go to a yoga resort and never rescheduled. I still talk to her sporadically once a month but she never initiates the conversations. I always thought that I had...

She's not into you. She wished you a happy birthday to be nice, but no real feeling of needing to reconnect with you

Is there a way to salvage the relationship? Don't get me wrong, I still go out and look for other women but she is literally non degenerate and has great values.
Maybe she isn't interested in me because she is older, has a master and surrounds herself with lots of successful people. I didn't go to college but my job involves saving lives on a daily basis so maybe she is way out of my league. We did go out and eat together back then but since I asked her if she was interested into knowing me...

You don't have a relationship, what are you talking about?
Do you speak with a filter when talking to most girls? I'm usually afraid to act like myself around girls. It took me pretty much all of highschool to realize that a girl doesn't give a shit if you use profanity in a casual conversation.
Only when I'm looking for a one night stand. I'd go insane if I had to filter my words around someone with whom I'm in a long term relationship.
>>17193475
Yes, I filter my words around women. I am a woman. I curse less to fit in.
However, I don't filter my words around men. Not sure if it's a good or bad thing.
>>17193475
Only thing I won't say is nigger and nigga, also I won't talk about my interest in the Syrian war or history. Other then that it's no hold bar

Read and talk to people smarter than you.

Read more. Srs, and I don't mean the avg shit on this site. Pick up critically acclaimed books, preferably psychological thrillers. They'll sharpen your mind and expose you to so much more sophisticated language.
An easy book to start with is the Da Vinci Code
I'm thinking of quitting my part time job so that I can focus on college. I only take about 3 courses (not including labs) a semester. I'm already in my 4th year and I'm probably going to be in college for another 2-3 years if I continue like this. It's mostly because I went for my 2 year degree first and I fucked up in a couple courses and I had to retake them.
I want to start taking 5 or 6 courses after this semester so I can hurry up and graduate. I don't even know if I can handle that load, but I'm very self-conscious with the fact that...

It saddens me that people take school this seriously. More so that they have to if they want to be "successful" in life. Keep in mind, a degree comes with no gaurenteesof anything because at the end of the day, it's just a piece of paper.
If you can manage a job that supports your lifestyle without a college degree, you should.
Let me put it this way: a degree along won't get you a job and employers will always look more favourably on someone who worked while they were studying than someone who didn't.
Plus, having money is always good

How to lower my sex drive?
I'm a woman and I always feel like doing lewd things, way more than my boyfriend, which means that I constantly get disappointed because he's just romantic and sweet.
I love him but this is really shitty
I only recently lost my virginity, with him
Masturbate.
>>17193444
we live (and sleep) together, in fact right now neither of us have jobs (on purpose, we have savings and want to be together), so I am rarely alone
besides, he's the one who turns me on so fucking much
buy sex toys like dildos to keep yourself busy i guess
and distract yourself so you don't feel horny. Play some games like tetris. Okay im kidding about tetris, but games in general. Tv shows or movies i can recommend but dont choose the shows that has sex in it. Or do hobbies nd shit.
I have a high sex drive too, but i just keep myself distracted
>Currently unemployed
>looking for work
>20
>highschool degree
>no car
Okay, I want a job and to get out of my sister's house. I also want to make a shit load of money fast. Like I'm even considering dealing drugs nothing major just small time shit.
How do I make a shit load of money fast /adv/?
If you can't even think of a way to make money fast, you're going to fail at any idea we give you.
Construction.
You will not make that much money selling drugs unless you're moving weight which requires a lot of planning and awareness to make sure the feds don't roll up on you.

How the fuck do I show interest in a girl?
ask her on a date
>>17193409
> Hey, would you like to grab a coffee some time?
Tell her that you would like to spend more time with her and then suggest an activity where you could spent more time with her.
So I have a friend girl that I hang out with occasionally. Known her for years. We get along great, always have good conversation etc but we've never kissed or fucked or anything like that. Lately been getting the vibe that she wants to fuck, but I think she's also kinda trying to get me to be her boyfriend which I'm not interested in.
She's attractive, 7/10 thick asian girl with some big titties and I do really wanna fuck her, but I'm worried that she wants more than just that and when I don't reciprocate that i will lose her as a friend....

You simply state you're not looking for a relationship. It's up to her if she still wants to fuck, or fuck if you're her boyfriend.
Just curious as to why you don't want a relationship with here? Also, if she's giving strong signals just be honest with her, and I mean bluntly honest. I had a friend in the exact same situation, except the girl definitely liked him. He basically told her that he'd fuck her, but that she shouldn't expect anything of it. Sure enough they were fucking upstairs within the next 30 minutes. Look at it this way OP, if a girl you wanted to date was willing to have sex with you but not be your girlfriend, you'd probably still take her up on the sex, because...

i agree with anon OP
but don't get upset you dont get to fuck her. Also what kinds of signals was it if i may ask?
I get horribly angry sometimes. Like really angry and it has only gotten worse over the years. The walls of my flat have several holes nowadays. I'm so far by now I'm really afraid I could hurt someone badly when I lose control. When I'm normal again it's like I can't identify with my angry self and the things I would do.
I tried to put my aggression into lifting, but that doesn't help either.
I know this sounds like a very edgy problem to have on a relationship and cuddle advice board, but I need help with that.
>>17193305
Stop being angry, bitch.
>>17193305
Well for starters, what makes you so angry that you lose control? Past trauma or something?
What makes you happy, or calm?
>>17193305
See a professional. Cbt most likely is a good way to find out what causes your anger, but with treating such grave problem, someone with the knowledge helping you through is always a plus.

Finance or Comp Sci for a Major in College? I don't have enough experience in either fields to know if I truly like one more than the other
I went for finance and I hated it, studying programming on my own now.
>>17193316
OP here, Why did you hate it?
Comp sci for sure. I did econ + comp sci and honestly, I felt so much more challenged but comp sci in all aspects of my education. It was more useful and it was much much harder than any econ I took.
I think comp sci for sure, if I had to pick one, its just such a great major, it shows you can think and its so applicable in today's job market...

Hey /adv/
I'm 26 and don't know what I want to do with my life. I think I may want to travel around and view the country/world but I don't have any skills to do something that doesn't anchor me down in one place.
What would you suggest learning in order to travel freely while not being completely poverty stricken?
can you cook?
>>17193282
I can not, but I'm willing to learn.

Hi /adv/, I'm really frustrated. My SO and I tried to have sex a few days ago, he came I didn't. I attribute it to the fact that it was late at night and I wasn't in a sexy mood. All I want to know is this:
If I masturbate, will it increase the odds that I will have an orgasm during sex? I almost always cum, but I want to ensure I'm able to much easier and if possible every single time. Please and thank you guys so much in advance!!! Pic unrelated I just didn't wanna waste space on my phone with a new pic.
I'm female 20 if that matters
not a girl but don't you girls find it hard to cum during intercourse?
>clearly a vergen
>>17193255
Im a male so I dont think I can help you but un my opinion you should stop masturbating, also ask him to do stuff you really enjoy, be more/less agressive.
Hope I have helped you!
