SHIT TIER English lit reporting in. Putting off several essays as we speak. Spending my night watching after effects tutorials and wondering if I picked the wrong major.
All kidding aside, I love my studies. I only ever wanted teach anyway, I think stories are really important.
where is music?
>>24132559
My nigger, I'm in the same boat. Secondary or primary?
>>24132559
Have fun dealing with screaming monkeys who couldn't give two shits about what you're trying to teach.
I'm a freshman. Been here for 7 weeks now and still have no friends, only 2 people I talk to. Roommate is throwing a party on Wednesday and since it's veteran's day the library is closed and I have nowhere to go. Midterms on Thursday and Friday. Pretty sure I'm going to fail my Friday one

I dunno bro, if you like teaching that's great. But I could always tell the difference between a teacher who's been there a few years and those that have been there 5+
>that absent look in their eye
>wondering where their life went so wrong
>not caring about your future any more, just wanting a decent evaluation so they can keep their jobs
Fuck, I'd understand wanting to become a university teacher. People who go to uni are generally there to learn and are interested. High school is just a cluster of people who are forced to go
>>24132705
will come in handy when you're homeless and need change for mcdonalds
>>24132764
good luck trying to get kids not to rote learn entire essays. Most teachers start off idealistic like you before realising that getting students to actually learn is too much effort.

>>24132471
Just a question because I'm legitimately interested.
Sometimes when I play a game, read a book, watch a TV show I occasionally become infatuated with a character who's pretty qt. Like, when I played Bioshock Infinite I crushed on Elizabeth for a few weeks after.
Do you guys ever crush on people from history? If so, who? I just feel I'd do it if I were learning about cool people from the past.
>>24132444

The rest are shit and useless.

>>24132807
It may be because I grew up in a wealthier area, but all the teachers that I had in high school that had been there for a while were actually better and more enthusiastic at their jobs. I think attitude and location have a lot to do with it though. My uncle's a History teacher and he loves it.
If I can somehow get back on at the high school I went too, that would make my life desu
>hurr durr le STEM cockjerk.
As a History major, fuck you. My cyborg ass is heading to law school. I took a programming class and the worst thing was the smell. I'd rather not work in that musk daily.

The fuck, what's with all the history majors on r9k? Yearning for a simpler time?
>>24132855
I don't really have any crushes because most of the people I studied are men.
Bismarck is my favorite figure and Castlereagh is a close second. I studied 19th century European history mostly
>>24132870
It might not be too late to change. I went in studying bio then switched my second year
Why is business always listed as bad? I am doing a degree in business management followed by a masters in international banking and finance. The job prospects look good and wages are pretty high...

I don't know, but it would explain the strangeness of history teachers.
>>24132939
my problem is that I go to a tech school now
literally threw away my chance at a private liberal arts school because of the STEM lie
so the humanities here are a joke.
>>24132930
I've always excelled at it and I love it, so why not? I am enjoying it and making excellent grades. I would have dropped out if I tried to stomach a STEM field that I hated.
>>24132922
>"Yeah well I ACTUALLY ENJOY my degree"
That's nice, so do I. So we both get a point for that.
I get points for a better salary, more respectful position and more prosperous career though.

You're fine m8, especially if you get your masters. It's general business that's shit.
>>24132764
This is me.
I'd like to get a doctorate, but the job placement out of the top university in the nation is 50% for someone focusing on literature. It's not even worth it.
>>24132764
>How are you liking it?
Eh, just started a few months ago. I have no plans to ever graduate and will likely drop out before spring or something. It's a good pastime though.
Good thing uni is free here.
I wish I could go back to uni, back when life was easy and meeting people/making friends was a million times easier.
>>24132951
It's because most guys in r9k don't have the personality to succeed in business, so they need to become doctors, IT guys, science guys etc
Actually that's my fear. Finance/econ major here, really strong analytic skills, but im borderline autistic in my behavior so im fugged lel
>>24132953
>engineering
>Respectable career
Autistic STEMfags mocking highly trained musicians and artists who are drowning in bagina? id like to see that interaction in real life
>>24132951
Most people get biz degrees from shitty schools but the school you go to for business matters a lot because all the networking comes from on campus recruiting and shit moreso than other majors
>>24132951
Business is fine, but to me (and all the other people who always put business in shit) is that it's such a general, non-specific degree filled with normies who just do it for the sake of doing a degree.
Put the effort in? Do internships? Specialise in a type of business? Great, you'll do well.
Stopped attending CC midway. Here's to next semester!
Who /english/ here
Who /english but not going to teach so unemployable/?
Who /loving every minute of it/?
>>24133066
This.
Business really heavily depends on the university you learn at as it so heavily relies on connections/networking.

fuck....why did i go for finance as a robot...im a fucking idiot
WHY IS MACHINIST NEVER THERE?
WE MAKE LITERALLY EVERYTHING.
WE MAKE THE WORLD TURN.
Also, fuck engineers. you faggots can always design shit but never know how to actually make it and then pretend you do.
>>24133090
I'm going to teach in China, Japan, or Korea. Fuck The American school system.

>>24133117
how could you design something without knowing how to make it lmao? are you a retard? I guess you are since you're a machinist.
>>24132600
Lol then the two that actually give a shit can listen while the other 28 fuck off in the back. I used to work in a prison, it doesn't break my heart any that most kids are irredeemable, I really don't care. I'll be getting paid to talk about books. Nice try though.
>>24133117
so you're the equivalent of a chinese factory monkey, I see
ooga booga, here is my design, meet tolerance okay? Can you understand me, machinist?
>>24133092
I find the word "networking" deeply revolting.
It sums up everything I hate about normies. It implies the only reason they are interacting with people is to benefit themselves, to get ahead of others. They don't care about you, just what you can do for them. Any personal interest they feign is purely superficial.
>>24133130
>spend your days looking at peoples infected body parts
not even medfag, but that doesn't sound bad. I assume the autism factor on here is fine so most people would be grossed out by some infected vagina or blood or something but eh, could be worse
>>24133117
>Also, fuck engineers.
Ay now settle down, anon.
There are engineers and then there are Engineers.
Engineers like me absolutely adore the shit you make because you understand what we need to make the plants work. We're the guys who generate power/produce the materials with the gear you create. We would suck your dick if it wasn't awkward.
Design engineers, they can suck my asshole. I get you. They are the retarded fucks who think putting a necessary valve 30 feet above the nearest flat surface is a good idea...
Computer science, I only have a passion for the programming, math, and theory aspect but my shit school is teaching me IT shit as well. I fucking hate it I just wanna do research and theories but instead I'm learning technical skills. I majored in this to avoid people and now it seems like I won't be able to do that at all.
Maybe it's because this is only bachelor's might go into Master's but I can't stand being in school anymore to be honest.
>>2413316they design it and then when you place them in front of a machine, manual or cnc, they dont know what the fuck to do. designing and manufacturing are 2 different animals.
fucking retard.
Shit tier, minor in great tier.
Planning on going into okay tier for post-grad
>>24133215
this was meant for you.
>>24133160
Art is worst tier though.
Your art degree will bring you nothing but debt.
Have fun hanging your overpriced paintings inside local businesses hoping someone will buy the set within a decade.
>>24133197
Networking works in a way that if the person is good at what they're doing the company and the person who refers them also gets benefit out of it also.
Of course it works like that hypothetically but mostly it's who can suck that dick best and talk the loudest. It sucks but that's how the game is played
>>24133201
Thank you. designers and drafters drive me up the fucking wall.
"Hey the machine simply cant do that. You need to figure out another way."
"lolno make the machine do it."
theyre retards with a god complex.
>>24133215
Oh you mean manufacture, little boy. that's why we have people like you to do the menial tasks for us, why would we waste our talents doing layman's tasks?
>Civil Eng that low
Do people confuse it with building science or some shit?
>>24133278
>do the menial tasks for us, why would we waste our talents
this bait is strong. 6/10 for getting a reply.
>>24132951
Business only has decent prospects if you have the right connections and went to top tier schools. Even then it's parasitical bullshit. I'd rather be producing than speculating.
>>24133278
There has been more than one design engineer who has fallen from the top of a plant, nigger. Don't piss off the Operators.
>>24133296

>med student

there's a reason they have interviews for med school you autistic fuck
>>24133650
Meh idk how american degrees work. Eurofag here
>>24133702
In US right now engineering of most types except like Aerospace/Nuclear are employable almost anywhere with above average salary, with those 2 being ones you just need to make sure you live in the right place for.
There is a new meme on here to troll engineers (I guess EE in particular) by mocking them in comparison to medicine.
I mean, doctors are telling people to not go into medicine now and it just doesn't seem like it would be as fun to do unless you get to be Dr. House and take painkillers all day, but that's just me.
Honestly the concept of any hard science being above most engineering degrees in terms of employment or salary is almost laughable. Engineering is the practical stuff that employers actually want. Unless you want to do research for a Uni nobody cares about string theory.

>>24132444
serious question: does med school require you to be ridiculuosly smart? or is it more about hard work and memorizing?
>>24133922
Absolutely memorizing
>>24132444
>Great tier + Shit tier
Does this even out to okay tier? Or does it add up to God tier? Science and Business, super employable, feels good man.
>>24133922
Not all, but mostly memorising. Compare a 3rd year med student exam with a 3rd year physics exam and see which looks harder
>>24133972
>Compare a 3rd year med student exam with a 3rd year physics exam and see which looks harder

As long as you are a wage slave your poisition is A) not respectable B) Not lucrative
Its a joke. Enjoy wasting your life in an office getting 0.000000001% of company profit while people who genuinely have pride in themselves start businesses
You are drone no matter what degree you did no matter what fucking childish benefits your company gives
This will be the case until you grow some balls and start a business, stop being a child.
>>24132922
Brah, I'm not STEM either, but communications is literally the lowest, most academically fraudulent degree outside of women's studies.
Aren't you ashamed of yourself? I just couldn't love myself if I studied something that stupid.
Also,many of you don't seem to realize that the vast majority of you will become increasingly replaceable regardless of field of study.
>>24133369
We're the guys who work the shit day in-day out. If what the design engineers put in it absolutely retarded, you can bet your ass that we will be upset.
Doubly so when said design engineer just shrugs and tells us 'deal with it'.
Wrong fucking move when they tell us that at the top of a twelve-story tower.

You can't sit there and pretend you are better than anyone making a god damn salary, reporting to a superior some god damn schoolboy....when there are people who have done way better than you in life....
There are people who couldnt do Algebra one let alone STEM making way more money and with way more influence.
STEM arrogance is ridiculous when there are people making real money being actual grown ups controlling their own livelihoods.
>>24134586
>>24134586
It takes money to make money, they say.
How are you gonna start a business off NEETbux?
all these stem master race circlejerk niggers are nauseating. But organic chem is my favorite class right now. Currently cramming for a history exam in about 8 hours and an econ exam tomorrow. I dislike both of those classes. Wish I could only take courses relevant to my major

Its got everything to do with his mate, Im calling out STEM arrogance.
A guy cant fucking come on here and tell me about his god damn salary man. Gtfoh desu senpai.
Here's how you start a business without money, get a job, save up start your business as a side hustle until it makes enough to cover your expenses where you quit your job and finally become a man.
There's no excuse for STEM majors. Need to stop making these threads and figure out ways to use their little salaries to own their themselves.
They arent gonna climb corporate ladders, they aren't gonna make it past middle management because most if not all of you are autists.
There's no autist STEM majors in executive committees. Grow some balls. Grow the fuck up

>>24135032
If all the people who keep the economy oiled die of prostate cancer, what is gonna happen to the economy?
>>24134994
This isnt about degrees in general. Its about STEM. This is about STEM majors being extremely arrogant for people who are merely wage slaves.
How is a guy who doesnt even own his own life that arrogant?
You are never going to be more than middle managment regardless of your STEM degree and you think you are better than anybody else?
You are never going to be anything more than some dork working 24 hours a day getting cholera sticking your fingers up some single moms vagina....
Guy pissed me off saying his position is more respectable. He is a fucking wage slave his degree doesnt matter, he is a slave, he comes in at 8:00 am and leaves whenever the fucking manager says he should.
Guys who own their own businesses, making money for themselves are in respectable positions which can also be deemed lucrative, not some guy in an office on some capped salary.
>>24132444
>Great tier
feels good
>>24135143
You do know that small business owners generally work even more than "wageslaves", right?
>>24135082
Grown ups who arent out here wage slaving would invest capital into finding solutions to the issue of people dying of prostate cancer.
Capitalists would solve that problem. Some guy in a white coat would form apart of the solution process started and operated by business owners investing their capital, again in this you'd just be a wage slave. A cog.

Why? Because he isnt a child who gets told when he should come and go, what he needs to do with his own fucking life...like some slave.

lmao at the list, 10/10 :P
>>24135483
yeah seriously
you will have to work like 25 years to pay off the enormous medical degree collage debt, and then like 25 more before you are elegable for retirement.
50 years of looking at people dying, no vacations, being around old sick people, and hating your life.
BUT HEY, maybe it will be worth it in the end. maybe you will only work yourself into MILD crazy status, and be able to last 5 years of sweet retirement without killing yourself.

In America, everything costs like a million dollars. But using public money to create people crucial to the health of a nation is socialism, so it's a no-no here.

how the fuck does this minor/major thing work? do you guys always study more than one subject? how? why? are there any limits as to what you can couple?
Where does a criminology/IT sec double degree fit into that chart?
Just finished the semester about 20 days ago.
Already got my results, 3 credits and a pass, just a first year.
EE engineering major here. Currently in sophomore year and I'm starting to feel like I might not be cut out for this shit but I refuse to become Comp Sci.
>>24135750
For what reason/s did you want to become an electrical engineer in the first place?
I'm barely making it. kinda odd that failing assignments and test doesn't even phase me anymore.
How to deal with internship?
Have to do it graduate but I hate it, you're supposed to make contacts for later but all I've done is show how bad I am.
Comp sci. Btw

Posted this in the previous thread:
Starting university next year. Does anybody here have any advice on how not to fuck up either academically or socially? I'm thinking about joining some groups and making new friends.
I want to try and turn a new leaf.

>I want to try and turn a new leaf.
Don't do it OP, it is not worth it
Accept your role as a worthless fucking loser, trying will only fuck you up in the long run

Studying by yourself in any serious subject is very difficult. I never had any friends before uni or during the first year, but I forced myself to approach a group of people that I know are studying together and ask if I could study with them. It was either that or failing the education. They were skeptical of me at first but eventually got integrated pretty well. They're not really my friends and I don't hang out with them outside of studies, but they help a lot with the work. Bottom line is you really need to find a group to work in at least. Make yourself as presentable as possible (hygiene, clothing, facial expression etc) and approach people. They will never, ever approach you, this much I can promise. You have to take the initiative. That's my advice and the only thing I know.

I liked the idea of designing circuits and stepping through logical elements. I can handle my classes related to that fairly well but Circuit Theory kicked my ass and I need to take it again next semester.
>>24135899
And You're not a wagekek?
You are doing uni now but why would you study and than not work afterwards?
Psychology desu
Even though my future will most likely be shit, I'm enjoying my 4 day weekends now
>>24133166
Dubs confirm. If you go through with it, even seeing 2-3 people give a shit about what you do will make you feel better and all and the money's awesome as well.
Physics 3rd year
Completely bored of it, 2nd year killed off any passion I had left for the subject. I probably won't get a first with how little I care about studying now, but I am just counting the days. Only 137 left until I'm all done here.
Gonna find me a comfy computer job and chill out.
Anyone else /studyingasahobby/? I'm going to take up a place at the uni but it seems fun and I have the money for it so why not?
I laugh at OP's chart. I'm a paramedic/nurse and emergency medicine is the worst fucking field on the planet. If you do enter medicine, make yourself private practice or a fucking specialist.
I hate my job and my patients. In a given week, I treat maybe 3 legit complaints in a system where I'm abused by about 40 other people.

I just want to get into a grad school. Any grad school.

But at least you have the approval of /r9k/ that counts for something r-right

Fuck /r9k/'s approval. I don't need it, I'm trying to give you niggers advice, this is coming from a former robot.
What's so bad about Electrical Engineering?
>>24136786
My parents have a friend who makes dental prosthetics (or w/e they're called) it's a cushy private business and he's rich as fuck. Maybe becoming a dentist is the answer?
>>24136797
Most serial killers are electrical engineers. This is not a coincidence.

Everything you learn is obsolete by the time you graduate.

Have fun competing with the surgery and anesthesia robot.
PSYCHOLOGY.
I've done enough computing to work in it professionally and I've done a year of Biomed to help within the healthcare industry.
>secure date with oneitis
>panicking, sleepless, not sure if went went ok or if she just thinks I'm a friend
>read all this stupid shit like you should makeout and even sleep with each other right away (neither happened)
>just staying in bed not doing any of my work/reading, thinking about her
>I'm always the one initiating conversation anyways
This sucks to be honest it's too stressful I want to bail but at the same time she is/was my oneitis and it's driving my fucking crazy.
I am going to graduate this 4 year course without ever getting a gf. I slept with one girl and instead of fixing my problems and making me more confident it's just made me more needy and depressed. She was uggo as well.

Whatever you do, network along the way or you will be u n e m p l o y e d. Assuming you don't have a relative that can hand you a career.
Four hours of sleep
Started smoking again last week. Have to do homework in the two hours of other classes before it is due because I spent 4 hours last night doing another homework.

EE here, I'm glad I got my AS somewhere else. Holy shit university is truly the worst possible form of school. There's a few teachers who have been good (been only two semesters, catch-up and junior) but shit, there's just too many people. And that's with half the class dropping out sometimes.

Pretty sure I fucked up majoring in finance desu senpai. Don't have the social skills for this shit. Ho the fuck does a friendless, socially anxious wreck like myself "network"?
im doing a law degree but i despise humans or at least the ones i meet from here on in but i dont want to be a lawyer. what are some viable options? i think id like to teach it later on and probably develop some school of thoughts relating to the philosophy of law.
>>24137337
force yourself to approach people, don't attempt to become their friend, just try to get them to study with you
>>24137350

Philosophers are not employable. Looks for a government/public sector job (the municipality, the tax inspection or similar) it's mostly sitting and pushing papers alone in an office. You literally cannot work with law in the private sector without negotiation skills.

I'm very sick right now but no classes allow unexcused absenses. My week is always so busy and if I had a job on my days off I'd be so exhausted. Can't wait to drop out this semester.

>>24132444
I've always gotten a kick out of mechanical engineers. I know far too many that have graduated, primped their portfolios and discover that their swimming in an over saturated field (and this is coming from someone who works in pharmaceuticals).
>>24132444
My school has the top petroleum engineering program in the nation. all these people fell for the engineering meme and now they can't find jobs because the market is a shit
me?
>finance master race ;)
What about nursing f a m s? Give me a r8. I figure it's a very steady job that Is only increasing in need with the baby boomers aging. Plus they make bank in Canada at least.
It's not even easy to get into a registered nurse program here. You niggers lied to me. Even the shitty schools need 83%+ to be considered. I got rejected from my #1 choice because you needed a 90+ to be considered and I only had an 88%.
>>24132444
STEM is a fucking meme. Biggest mistake of my life. Quit while you're ahead unless you have been building, programming or engineering as a hobby since you were young.
Its really a huge waste of time to join a cesspool of FOBs and asshats that will probably work in desk jobs any way
You might as well get an easier degree for the same job. Literally business and economics will get you farther than STEM.
Especially if yourean entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs invent invest and find the people to make their plans a reality. Those people are the STEM majors. Know what you're getting yourself into. If you aren't living a comfortable life now don't go into STEM. STEM success also is primarily determined by how much your parents think you're autistic and leave you alone. If your parents don't agree you bet you'll have a hard ass time.

Medicine, but doing like shit. I'm about to do a test but i didn't study 'cause i'm a lazy pice of shit.
How can fix my shit?.
Pharmacy
Like medicine but you get to say no to doctors and don't have to touch people.

I'm only in my first semester of the second year, so I'm probably going to quit after this, and keep programming around as a hobby while pursuing the arts.

Business is only bad if you don't focus on finance or accounting. Business administration degrees are literally a dime a dozen and only prepare you for a career in HR.
You're doing it right
I'm gonna try to salvage the last few weeks of this semester, but I know that I have to quit soon.
Already skipping classes all week, feel like shit.
Have no friends.
Told my crush for three years that I liked her and she just said "I dont know what to reply to that"
Every day seems like Im slowly dripping into madness.
Hold me tight and tell me everything is gonna be alright /r9k/

Pharm here. Currently building connections with big pharma and working to get a post doctoral fellowship in 2 years when I graduate. My motivation is to eventually break $200k a year so I can get a huge house and a trophy wife and show all the normies.

Not him, but I think he's talking about being one of those English teachers who teach abroad in Asia.
You don't even need a teaching degree, just a bachelor's degree in pretty much any field.
Not sure how much they're in demand these days, though. Since it seems like every white boy on the internet wants to do something like that.
>>24139898
Well, I'd be interested in something like that since I want to travel a lot, but I've heard the demand was quite low these days. No idea which other jobs can allow me to travel and lead a comfy lifestyle though.
everything sucks but at least uni gives me some social interaction
>>24139870
Good luck anon. If what I heard is true, you have a LOT of work ahead of you to achieve that goal
