>tfw game programming
OH LORD IT'S FULL OF AUTISTS
My parents forced me to pick something when I was a depressed NEET after one year of graduating highschool. I'm only one year in and now that I have some normie experience I realized the grave mistake I've made. What should I do?
I realized I enjoy pure programming more than making a game, I want to drop out and take CS at a uni t.bh. I'd rather be with bro tier Indians than these kids, and perusing something at such a volatile field such as the gaming industry was a stupid mistake by me.
>>27443684
WAKE ME UP lNSIDE (CAN'T WAKE UP)
>>27443684
Now that I mentioned it, I only took it to live a pseudo-NEET life, take something fun and not worry about the end game. I didn't think about the future; the long run. I was stupid and now paying the ultimate price. I shoulda used my skills for something practical instead of something so niche. I fucked up.. and now I don't know what to do...

I'd swap to cs. Even if you have a modicum of programming experience from the game dev thing it'll carry over. If your parents wanted you to do school, they'll understand your choice. I changed from basic science to engineering, best decision. Be warned though, first year of cs will also have autists, they get weeded out in the first year and go into game dev
>>27443995
Yeats or Keats?
>>27443684
I have worked in big game dev and the most capable programmers generally have CS/Mathematics backgrounds. So game programming degrees are a meme even in the games industry.
Make a change NOW 2bh
A friend of mine has a fine arts degree, and she constantly complains about how much I make with an engineering degree and how it isn't fair. When will women learn that STEM are truly the only worthwhile degrees

it's not only the parents, its the entire school system that shoves this shit down kids throat
the meme degrees have reached epidemic levels at this point and it's only getting worse
Any degree is better than none. If you clean toilets, you will one day become a manager of 10 toilet cleaners. All cause of your degree. Doesn't matter if it is philosophy. The other cleaners will keep cleaning toilets. Not the college educated cleaner. That is how it works in real life.
Not saying it isn't better to get a good degree.

I'm starting uni next september (yes i'm 18 i swear, anyways i've posted as an underage kid for years). I picked up medicine because i enjoy biology/chemistry, am a brilliant student and both my parents who are doctors pushed me into it as it is a good jobs that pays very well. The things i really love the most are latin and archaeology, but i know any degree in these fields is 100% useless, so i just gave up on that.

Guys I am completely fucked
I am currently doing a masters in international relations. I only did this to get an extra year of sitting on my arse all day.
The problem is that my mother has no idea how a masters works and seems to think it is a guarenteed job wherever I want. I emailed her a list of countries that I want to be the British diplomat for and she HONESTLY fucking believes and will be very let down if I don't
What do I do?
How do I tell her I will be stacking shelves instead of working as the diplomat to Lithuania?

>tfw my history degree couldn't even get me an interview for an entry level position at a museum
Everyone is telling me to go to grad school when I talk about how I have applied for hundreds of jobs since graduating in December without any luck. I can't see how anyone thinks that is a good idea. I'm not falling for the "Just go to school and you will get a good job" meme twice.
>>27446762
They're telling you to go to grad school on the condition that it's funded. At least you would have an income then. You'd probably be TAing.
As much as people bitch about how little adjuncts makes, it's better than unemployment.
I'm one of the few who's been on both sides of the fence.
Got my bachelors in mechanical engineering and my masters in film studies. I was miserable in undergrad and wasn't great at the material. I was brilliant in the humanities and had a great time. But of course, one was highly employable and the other is basically useless unless you want to become a professor of film studies.
It truly is about finding a balance. I hated my first choice field of study so much that I swung entirely for the opposite side of the fence (i.e. was doing what I hated, so I figured for the next go round I'd do what I loved). It's tough, because after so long of telling myself "I am not a scientist," I've really come to embrace my arts/humanities side as a part of my identity, but it's not a path to the lifestyle I want. It is what I am, through and through, but I can't support a wife and kids with it. Just have to figure out what is a tolerable amount of sacrifice that is also financially lucrative.

>>27446972
Hmm, seems like that's more of a problem in the US than here in the UK though
In the UK, you need to go to a G5 uni for investment banking and top firm jobs, and the people doing STEM subjects there go to a networking event every other night. It seems like fake interest but they're certainly all very determined
Our government is shilling apprenticeships atm too
>>27446854
I know, I work in a cafe and several of my coworkers are contracted graphic designers/ illustrators and they're all in terrible shape. I love design and I love art, but I know it's not a field worth pursuing even if I love the subject. I might as well work in a field I don't have an interest in than work in a field I like but have to deal with more bullshit
>>27446914
My experience was that 95% of the people in my engineering classes were just generally smart people who were forcing themselves to fit the engineering mold for the job security. They could have found success in any number of fields with their intellect. Most of them didn't enjoy it, and ended up working a few years in the industry, hating it, and usually either going on to get an MBA or some other professional degree so that they could escape the engineering world entirely.
There are very few people (READ: autists) who legitimately want to live & breath math all fucking day long, which is all engineering fucking is.
Almost all degrees are worthless without connects and networking. The only exception is engineering because everyone an hero'd/switched majors before they graduate so job availability is high.
>>27447067
Fair enough, I think I'm double fucked though because I took a meme degree and I don't even enjoy the subject
I get to go on a year abroad in September though luckily, should be a lot of fun

What do you dislike about it?

Going to try to do a masters and then a phd but to be honest I'm not that passionate about it.
>>27445794
In general you don't get the community college degree and then cease your education. The main purpose of an associate's degree in CS is to transfer to a university to get your bachelor's. I did that and it is a fine route to take. Cut the cost of college by about half.
Study the transfer agreements beforehand, know exactly which credits will transfer and where you will be towards your requirements. I really can't stress that enough. You need to own your education, don't rely on advisors to make decisions for you, don't rely on your classes to teach you everything.
Way too many people rely on others to make these decisions. The reality is everyone who is supposed to help you is busy with their own life, and even if they have the best intentions, they are bound to make the occasional mistake. Academic advisors are usually responsible for helping hundreds of students.
>>27444236

Kek my roommate is one of those kids. He's a fat weeaboo who's also taking Japanese.
He recently dropped out of CS once he saw me actually having to work on projects for hours a day that wasn't making le meme games.
Now he switched to Japanese full time. There's still a lot of those "wanna maek vido james" kids in the CS department and they're all cringy and autistic as fuck. Honestly the worst thing about CS is the people.

1) All the campuses I know offer free tutoring. Usually open labs for math, sign-up for english or some other subjects. At my CC, it was a math lab, but because we had engineers/physicists tutoring, we covered those too (I was one of them). Supervisor didn't give two shits. I learned basic statistics from a teacher who worked there, got over 100 on every test when I had to take the class. At the uni, we only tutor some maths at our lab, but it's nice. There are other places which offer tutoring on lots of subjects.
2) If you go to CC and get a general Engineering degree, it puts you head and shoulders above other normies if you want to do something in a factory. My AS was free too, despite it taking me a lot of time. I applied to a few places, and within a few months one called me and asked if I was interested in a 1+ year position, full time, free training as a machine operator for a milling company.
>>27447067

Everyone laugh at the normie that couldn't get to calculus.
Electrical Engineering master race coming through. It's really the easiest engineering I've seen, the other engineers are studying textbooks all the time, doing Matlab literally every day, etc, etc. Electrical is precise, but really, it's nowhere near the difficulty of the other ones.

Join the military, Army or Air Force. Yes they cuck you on training, but a lot of classified military stuff is only available for citizens. They usually offered some good deals on paying student loan stuff, but you better make sure you get records of anything you sign. My sister almost got cucked out of like $9k because they "misplaced" the last page of her contract.
My brother works through VAs and some other stuff, and was always working. Normies are not good with computers, AT ALL, so the military gets fucked all the time by retards. A few times he had people like 8 ranks above him trying to shit down his neck, because they wanted fucking admin passwords and shit for classified data, stuff people would literally be hunted and killed for in the middle east.

India. Pajeet is getting them. H1B visas. Unless you have something that can't be outsourced or shipped in, you're fucked. Even then you'll be making minimum wage.
>>27451644
There are jobs everywhere if you're good enough and know how to get it (connections and good impressions).
The high paying ones are STEM and there's a lot of demand for them still but if you're autistic who is unable to market himself through words in interviews OR you don't have a good portfolio that will cover for you inability to talk well, you won't be able to get it.
A lot of things have changed in life but in the end how you represent yourself is still the most important thing in order to succeed.
You can be a top engineer with GPA of 4.0 and still be a cuck who works 13 hours a day 7 times a week while your boss Chad just met the right people and used his charm to earn more than you with his community college diploma

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-1B_visa
>STEM
The H-1B and various other temporary foreign worker programs (L-1, TN, O-1 and OPT) are not without controversy.[4] For fiscal year 2012, initial H-1B employment authorizations for Computer-related occupations totaled 83,444, equaling 98.2% of the H-1B statutory cap
And H1B visas are only going to increase.

Depends on what you're doing. Most Engineers can work in some factory or maintenance field. A lot of EE go into maintenance, I live near Niagara Falls. Civil can go into city planning/management or branch into Geological/Environmental branches. Chemical and Biological are meme, but they could get you into medical technology. Mechanical and Aerospace can do a lot of big industry machines, but they're still relative static machines. Mechatronics is a newer field, supposed to be a "21st century tradesman" type deal. Some theory, but focusing a lot more on technical application than theoretical development.
EE and Computer can make shit. I love circuits and would like to do them, they don't let me Major in EE and minor in CE because they're too similar or something. I could go for CS because programming.
The Science majors are meme majors. You need MS or Dr for science. Technology is Habib and Chang. Math can go into marketing or some other data analysis/management. You want like an MS or higher for that though, specializing in some field.

1 year in? Aren't most degrees 4 years? Can't you switch now?
More reason to switch: game programmers are treated like shit and given crunch time until they break. There's a constant stream of bright eyed college grads ready to fill in the gaps. The gaming industry abuses its workers in ways that don't happen in general CS.
This is all from what I've read. I'm not in either industry.
English BA
I am a poet. It's not that bad.
CHOOSE A JOB YOU LIKE FIRST.
THEN CHOOSE THE MAJOR THAT MOST CLOSELY CORRESPONDS TO THAT JOB.
How is this hard?
>i'm guilty of a bad major too, but I'm just asking
>>27452344
Do your parents still pay your bills or something? Can't you tell them to stuff it?
>>27452562
Nah, I pay my own, but it's just filial piety I guess. Neither of them were drunks or anything, I feel like I owe it to them to keep listening to them and showing them some respect.

As long as you're not Ed, you're fine honestly.
Music business, performance, and even just studies are pretty fair with job opportunities as far as a degree goes. As long as you can network and meet people while you're there, you'll be golden.

FFS don't switch sociology. Shittiest major possible other than gender studies or communications.
At least PoliSci can teach you how to write/research/cite ok if you give half a shit about it. Pretty on par with a History degree imho; useless for job sector other than academia.
>>27443684
fucking this
i didnt go to uni for that shit, but i spend my early years devving. got some attention, but the industry is just too risky imo. now i have no clue where to turn. hell, i dont even like working with computers/programming any more. im so screwed.
>>27452534
Sick. How's that work?
Do you write and just get published, or are you a bard-for-hire?
Have my 4-year degree in film scoring... And I work as a mechanic.
Regardless of your degree, you're fucked if you can't introduce yourself to new people and hold up conversations with strangers.
I'm fucked!

>only talent is drawing
>drawing from an early age
>all authority figures in life encourage me to pursue art
>forced into college by parents right out of high school
>major in art because I have no other talents or interests in other fields
currently on last semester and any interest I had in art is completely dead. Haven't drawn anything outside of the classroom in a year and constantly looked down upon by my peers because I don't get art. I still don't. I don't think I ever will.
>in pure science
>realize i have to be a normie to get anywhere
Why couldn't I have been accepted into engineering
