Be gentle, r9k.
Making ~$40,000/yr working in law, after majoring in Political Science, a useless degree in and of itself. Scored the position due to academic, social, and professional successes during and after my undergraduate experience. Moving out of mother's next month. Damn fucking happy.

I'm in IT right now because I was rejected from engineering (didn't work hard in high school). I spoke to admissions and they said if I can bring up my marks this year, I spoke to admissions and they said i can switch to electrical engineering and start over as a first year. At least that's what I'm counting on, I don't have it in writing.
>How is that working out for you?
Alright I guess.I'm near the top of my class but this work is boring and makes me feel dumb.

But on the bright side, I'll be better off than doctorfags who spending their glory years in school just to get out and face crippling debt. I have an internship that will pay me $60,000 salary. So I can only imagine what I'll get when I graduate

A lot better than engineering was. Actually enjoying stats a lot, and got employed by a family friend doing actuary shit for two of their companies. I have no friends myself, but, you know, at least I'm financially successful before leaving school.

It's pretty much what I expected, I worked in a high school as assistant teacher but being a teacher is not what I want to do with my life. Not sure about wat do though.
>>24324374
>Community college was shit because it was filled with people like you.
No, it wasn't.
I did really well are a great high school, I got godlike SAT and ACT scores without studying, I never fucked around with drugs or alcohol, I was in a myriad of physics-related extra-curricular activities, and I applied to 18 colleges. I could afford any of them, but picked mine for research. I fucked up at first because I hated my major. When I started doing well, I met some really shitty people who I let control me through the middle of my college career. Then I found out my girlfriend was cheating on me and I didn't know how to deal with that and it fucked me up badly. I kicked all the losers out of my life, and my last semester was all good grades on a heavy course-load and I do ground-breaking research. I do pretty well when I'm the only person to blame. Some people suck at college because life is shitting on them. It's just the smallest bit harder on them because there are people like you. You don't know anything about my experience except that I got kicked out and got back in. That wasn't even my biggest concern at the time. Shitty GPA isn't enough to know someone's caliber. Comments like yours are.

What kind of autist collects fedora pictures to make this irrelevant joke?
>>24325522
Nice dubs.
Go to your school's counselor. In many places they're free, in some others ,they're not too expensive. You need to get pills to help your shitty mood or you will fail and the rest of your life will be more shit.
I know how you feel, my 3d waifu was in all my classes for 4 years. By the end, I tried to kill myself because I couldn't be with her. Because of that, my gpa was garbage and I didn't get into grad school and I'm going to be a wageslave for the rest of my life. For fuck's sake, do something RIGHT NOW to get those pills, at least while you're in college. YOu don't have to continue after that if you dont' want.

Going back to school for chemical engineering, so not well. Starting to really hate it. At first I was happy because I got enough transfer credits to not have to take any labs my first couple of years, but its hard to feel engaged when everything is all computers and equations on a paper. I miss working in a lab.
>>24325739
I'm sorry. that was a little too mean. It's just tiring to see people only talk about their lack of relationships. I come here to be in the company of those that failed in life and only find that. It just gets to me after awhile.
>>24325728

Computer science. Aiming for artificial intelligence or machine learning in graduate level stuff.
>How is that working out for you?
It's slow but I'm getting somewhere at least.
Worst case scenario I have an undergrad's degree for computer science, a decent chance of some kind of decent paying job, and I can code video games or something in my free time.
Feels good to be doing something.
>>24325868
I'm actually not virgin, but the latter could be the case. It's just hard to see it as anything other than petty while I'm trying to choose between homelessness and suicide.

A cheating whore can be enough to ruin your life, no matter how on-track you would otherwise be. I was very fortunate to get back into school after I was given the boot for being unable to do anything at all when my ex cheated on me. I tried therapy, heavy working out, talking to people, but I ended up unable to control myself and barely passed the few courses I didn't drop the semester after I found out. You become a different person.
I'm really sorry to hear about your problems. You have it rough. I really hope you pull through. You only get one life, and I hope yours turns around someday. When life looks like it's over, it's easy to think unhealthy and self-destructive things you would never consider in a decent state. When life becomes at least okay, then suicide becomes an alien notion. You can make it. Please don't give up. I believe in you.

Stressful as fuck because I haven't taken out any student loans so I have to work nearly full time (as a bartender, which I fucking HATE) to support myself. Hoping it will all be worth it in the end and I'll actually get into law school and enjoy myself.

Also not quite applicable, but I self-studied mathematics and computer engineering. Currently learning physics for fun, and to maybe do some research in theoretical physics in my spare time, if I can find a way to publish my research.
>How is that working out for you?
Pretty good t b h. Doing my own business, making a very frugal living, but income has steadily risen over the past few months. Maybe not a path I would recommend, but I actually kind of enjoy my life.
>>24326138
Sorry to hear. I'm just hoping I'll be able to get my life back together eventually. I just wish I could get fresh start, but I don't know how much it would help. I've blown every one i've ever had in the past.
