This is not true. EE jobs are done inside the US/EU (i.e. the design of products), only the manufacturing is out-sourced.
It seems to me like this chart has been made by someone really butthurt about engineering in general, and EE in particular.
That or it's bait.

I'm doing German (Although Arabic would be more useful there right about now)
I started an education i liked this fall after dropping out of one that i didn't like. I liked the school and the subjects but still it was impossible to put any effort into studying and i failed 3 out of 4 exams.
Should i try again after wageslaving for a while or just be a low level wageslave for the rest of my life?
>>27606885
try again. You'd thank yourself 4 years later.
>>27606914
Not if i just do the same shit again.
>>27604816
disgusting. here's a better chart
>>27606969
then motivate yourself to do some studying. If i read your post it seems you are not that old (i.e. under 22). When you grow up you start getting into the groove of learning automatically, at least i did. I used to be horrible at studying, but nowadays i just sit down half an hour everyday. If you keep up that half hour nothing stacks up and everything remains manageable.
Also, what were you studying?
>Be ME grad in upper middle of class
>Graduate and forget how to live life
>2 years go by without work living in basement doing nothing
>Decide to apply for jobs and get shit together
>get offer for amazing highpaying job out of state

I'm 24, turning 25 this year.
I was studying business/economics.
The plan was to sit and read a bit every day or almost every day and then i didn't. Then i failed the first exam and planned to study better in the next course and then i didn't. Then in the third course i was studying with 2 other guys and i learnt a lot from some assignments we worked together with and answered the exam almost perfectly. The first two courses has been less interesting than the third and then the fourth course was also interesting but in that one i didn't study again.
>>27607092
>accept offer and leave home
obvious. Just man the fuck up and move out. It is less of a big deal than you might think.
>>27607101

>The plan was to sit and read a bit every day or almost every day and then i didn't. Then i failed the first exam and planned to study better in the next course and then i didn't.
The curse of procrastination, i know it all too well myself. I used to have it year 1 and 2 of uni, but for some reason one quarter i just started going to every single class and doing the homework when i could.
It may be a meme but, JUST DO IT, is really how it works. When having a list of stuff to do on a day, do the boring shit first.
You probably know it yourself as well, but when you sit down and actually start doing it it isnt that bad.
>>27607101

>>27607310
I did go to almost all lectures but when it came to just sitting and studying i just didn't.
Maybe it's impossible for me to ever try that, i would have to change very much in order to be able to study. JUST DO IT just doesn't work for me.
Maybe i can just do it when i am used to full time wageslaving.
>>27607547
>i would have to change very much in order to be able to study.
i thought the same, but i just did it one day and it became kind of a habit so to speak.
You never know if it'll work for you as long as you dont try it.
>>27607697
I did try it and it didn't work. I started just sitting and studying when i started and then it just became less, a bit like when i tried lifting.

Going to become a nuclear engineer if I don't burn out before junior year. Also learning french because that's probably the only way I'll get a job if I graduate. If I fail to do either I'll probably suck dicks for a living.

As for 5th.
Well, they were happy about my decision, so i guess it counts.
>Be Finnish
>Have a massive interest in international politics
>Always know it's be what I want to study
Now, here's the problem. In Finland, uni is free. Government can only afford to let a handful of people in each year; usually there are at least 15 applicants for a single place and only 5-10% of applicants are accepted. Most people have to take 1-4 gap years before they get in.
The most ridiculous part are the entrance exams; we're given a book or books, usually totalling somewhere between 400 and 700 pages and given around three months to memorize it. The entrance exam then asks questions about totally random paragraphs and we have to paraphrase the book. That's it. It has nothing to do with motivation, it's simply a giant lottery. Anyways,
>apply to study politics into the University of Helsinki

i registered for nuclear engineering because i really like metal gear. did i fuck up?
Well I want to become an electrical engineer and I'm almost finished with high school, but because of my vast knowledge of many things i've just lost interest in school. I don't have the best grades in the school anymore and I really don't feel the same about the engineering path anymore.
>>27608409
Jesus i didnt know that finnish unis were this strict/shit
>>27608656
Not at all, nuclear is the future, and once the idiots wake up and realize it is they will turn all the unemployed nuclear engineers into kings.
>>27608559
Probably yes. But at least you made a choice based of of something. A lot of people nowadays just pick something because it is easy or because they have to pick something. (talking about you BA)

Did anyone here go for pharmacy? From what I found, pharmacy was a hot study like a decade or so ago, because there was a shortage of pharmacists so they had high salaries. But now everything is slowing down and pharmacists are having trouble finding jobs. I was interested in the field because of the high salary and it didn't seem really difficult. But people on forums say their retail pharmacy job (the ones that make bank) were hell. But it seemed to me like a regular cashier job except you make a ton more. So I was thinking of getting a gov pharmacy job instead, apparently they don't make as much as retail pharmacists but they get good benefits and are less stressed. Another option would be military service, I would just give drugs to soldiers on bases. I wouldn't want to do that for long though.
Any pharmacist/pharmacy majors that can weigh in?
>>27608938
In the netherlands it is notacceptedinto/failed medicine tier. Medicine has a selection on the amount of people they take in, pharmacy has practically the same undergraduate course but does not have a selection. Therefore a lot of people that are not accepted in medicine try pharmacy and try to get into the medicine program later with the ability to skip some years.

It sounds like you didn't pace yourself properly. You proved that you're capable of doing well, so why not try again? Take one or two classes at a time if you have to, and retake the ones you got crappy grades in. You're young enough this doesn't matter too much.
I'm struggling valiantly at the local college right now. I decided 4.0 or death basically so it is kind of stressful; there is a paper now that I just can't seem to get started on.
>>27606252

Not good lads.
Just back from 2 weeks of easter hols where I got to see my bro again (he's at uni in england, me in N.Ireland - we're originally from N.Ireland).
Had to say goodbye today, which was hard, and now I'm facing 4 weeks of coursework hand ins and tests. 2 of which are over the next 3 days.
We both played the last night of the doom beta tonight, and had a good time. I'm just depressed that now I have to endure these 4 weeks of work, and won't get to talk to him a whole lot. I don't think he's especially happy over there either.

I'm starting to think higher education isn't for me. I don't know if I'm retarded or if chemistry is just this difficult, but it's so frustrating since 15 years ago I could chew through this information easily.

Fuck. No.
Surely you can cut BOTH down and merge em, in such a way that one incorporates elements of the other, without breaching into non-sequitur territory?
Explain how the Greco-Turkish War LEADS INTO the Population Exchange. Or talk about the Population Exchange, and use call-backs to Greco-Turkish War. Or something.
Those people you mentioned didn't do their choices because of bullshit Morton's Forks. They took them because they felt they did what was right. Otherwise, they fucking improvised.

I've had health issues really fuck up college for me.. Maybe it could be depression, but it's the physical fatigue and trouble remembering/concentrating that really get to me.. Even if I go back, my GPA is so fucked. Just turned 23 and don't wanna be a failure like the 28 year old manchild at my job who does nothing but talk about roasties and play Pokemon.
I want to move to Japan, do something useful, have a qt chink wife and show the dominance of the white man in Asia.

I'm fascinated by the Greco-Turkish War because I see it as both the end to the Ottoman Empire and Byzantium. Kemal abolished the sultanate after his victory in 1922, and Kemal forcing the Greek army out of Anatolia meant the Greeks were never going to retake Constantinople and Asia Minor. The war caused the monarchy in both Greece and Turkey to be abolished, and it also caused David Lloyd George's fall from power in Britain.
Then the population exchange disentangled the overlapping ethnic clusterfuck that Greece and Turkey shared, it ended 2,500 years of Greek presence in Asia Minor, and it made the current border between Greece and Turkey permanent. Because the Ottoman Greeks were the educated mercantile class of Turkey, removing them meant the only elites left in Turkey were the bureaucrats and military officers, which made establishing a single-party state possible. The Ottoman Greeks were denied any reimbursement by both the Greek and Turkish states, so they became a massive communist electorate in Greece that caused General Metaxas' to establish a dictatorship in the 1930s.
The whole experience of the war and population exchange is fascinating for being the culmination of centuries of events that came before and laying the foundations for modern Greece and Turkey.

Currently a philosophy/poli sci double major. Its not a SJW den. At least not at my school. Philosophy is a very critical major. You have to be able to criticize all view points. Most philosophers unlike the 20th century were very sexist so its enjoyable imo. But if you take a class on feminism which my philosophy department only offers one as an elective, I expect a professor with a centered view, and then an equal distribution between neck beards and tumblr feminists getting wrecked by the philosophy majors in the room.

Does anybody here have experience with being on Adderall? I'm supposed to go to counseling and hopefully get a prescription for it this summer. What effects does it have?

Biomed is definitely above bio chem and economics can get you a pretty good salary sometimes.
>>27618634
On it right now. It is (literally) the diet coke version of Methamphetamine.
In my case, it focuses your mind and basically allows you to have an almost super-autist focus on tasks that you do. You'll get a slight surge of euphoria (the actual condition, not the le fedora maymay kind) and will genuinely enjoy whatever you're doing. You'll have a sort of innate need or will to try and get things done. Bad part is you'll stay up late, and your appetite will completely dry up. The benefits of Adderall generally outweigh any downsides it has though. Just be careful to take it sparingly. There are stories of people getting addicted to the stuff and killing off many of the brain cells in and around their hypothalamus. Good luck and use sparingly!

First of all, I want you to remember this-- I am *not* a doctor, so do not --DO NOT-- take my sole advice. Follow doctor's orders.
Well, if you're getting Adderall XR 30 mg, I'd recommend taking one every morning after breakfast Monday-Friday. On weekends, unless you have work to do, just skip them. Your mind will need to relax and unwind.
Only take one capsule a day. One. If you take more than 60mg of Adderall a day you'll be at serious, serious risk of fucking up your brain's neural network beyond repair-- and the side effects won't be apparent until years later. And to any robots out there-- no, you won't be able to overdose on these things. You'll just end up poisoning yourself and possibly fucking your brain up to an irreparable state.

Decreased electrical activity in synapes, whole neurons (the cells which carry neurotransmitters, aka the little chemicals in your brain that does literally everything that makes you think, remember, etc) beginnning a mass die off with sections of your brain related to emotional control, a loss of critical thinking skills( remember, adderall helps you focus, it does *not* make you smarter) and a decreased ability to retrieve, store and make new memories.

Why are you taking chem senpai? Basically, stoichometry describes the relatives quantities of reactants and products. so say you have the reaction A + 2B = AB2.
For every one mol of A, you need two of B. very easy senpai.
Enthalpy basically describes the internal energy of the chemical system. typically your product will have a different energy than the reactants. if it gives off energy, its exothermic. if it takes energy it's endothermic. not too hard senpai

I really enjoy journalism and storytelling. I think I can bring a really creative perspective to the world, and to the news. That said, journalism is kind of in a rut right now. We make well under the national average for graduates, and honestly, it's just depressing as fuck.

Not really, they are better off chasing finance guys who also in addition to making more money out of college happen to be tall, good looking and sexually active since their 12th birthday.
This "engineers make lots of money" thing is a lie. Youll be making $60k out of college tops (if that), and you should know that $60k is nothing. A nice mid tier sports car will cost you upwards of $120k. Even making six figures is shit these days (you cant even buy a house) unless you are talking about the upper range of six figures.
I also have 0 work experience and am set to graduate in next year. I doubt ill be making anywhere close to $60k.

i'm fdrunk but I'll try and give a brief descriptionhonestly i'm not too sure, i just chose it when i transferred after checking how much people get paid
EE and CE have some overlap with basics as I see (like circuits)
EE nerds are going to focus more on the electronic hardware and magic fucking magnets, inductors, wires and shit. CE faggots will be using some computer science bullshit to make the code work with the hardware and other homosex shit. CE is going to learn like architecture and shit that honestly makes no fucking sense then you spit it all out on a test and somehow end up with a 98. Then you go to the lab and have to make some fucking code to control your fpga board for a presentation on microprocessors and honestly you have no idea and just copy and paste some shit off the internet give your report a source, then win 1st place in your class's final project. then your're forced to present in front of the dean of technology and you start sweating literal spaghetti. wew lad
EE also focuses on them magic waves that make communications and shit happen to name some shit. Fucking magic fuck if i know.

this isnt possible, the requirements are so stringent that even if you scored well on their test (which is actually a very small metric for acceptance) it wouldnt get you in or even close. You would need networking skills for recommendations, charity work, and some work with professors in an area of science you took alongside your medical requirements.
Nice try.

No, germany. Just googled aerospace engineering and took the first picture
>>27622772
Esoteric and weird, but vastly applicable to anything and everything out there. It's essentially the highest level of abstraction.
Math, contrary to popular belief, doesn't really have anything to do with numbers. It's just about problem solving and finding patterns in absolutely anything and everything. Generalizations, theorems, proofs, so on so forth.
Odds are that nothing you were exposed to so far qualify as real math. No, Calculus is not real math - you're still just dealing with quantities at that point, like a form of advanced arithmetic. Look up graph theory for example for a gentle and accessible introduction to the bigger picture.
The usefulness of a math degree depends on who's looking at your resume. If its the lay public, they'll just assume all you do is balance spreadsheets. If you're a very good mathematician that actually understand what math is really about, certain surprising firms, like hedge funds, will almost certainly come looking.
That being said, it takes a certain amount of autism to be good at math. Definitely not for the lay person who dwelleth in the concrete world of reality.

>>27623405
The way I see it, there is no possibility for anyone to get into med school and be a moderate well balanced human being.
Med school is so selective, that it ends up selecting for the most extreme types of people which also happen to be fucked up.
First off are the people who have been forced into pursuing medicine by their parents. Typically very sheltered, muh mommy daddy kind of people and fucking miserable because all they do is study for grades and worry about admissions. These are the premeds at your local university who sabotage each others labs to get an edge in class rankings, so on and so forth.
Second off are the moralfags, the overly emotional and compassionate people who want to save the world with their own two hands. How the fuck did that much idealism even get inside their heads? It's anyone's guess... but it makes them fucking psycho. Typically watch TV shows about doctors obsessively and crave that melodramatic lifestyle. Almost impossible to relate to as a normal fucking human being since they're so high on their own moral compass.
Third are the people who think being a doctor is about not going to work and playing golf all day with a six figure salary and that its the smart choice. Well guess what you fucking retards. Being a doctor is the easy part. Getting there is the hard part. As a doctor, you will pay up all the dicksucking you otherwise would have spread throughout your life up front in those years you will spend to become a doctor in the first place. And guess what? If you weren't fucked up already, those 10 years will make you fucked up.
The only solution is to simply stop making medicine so selective and stop hyping it as a profession. That means cutting back on all the "doctors are specshul becauz they are help peoplz and are superior to everyone elsh". But that's not gonna happen. Ever.
