>300 word essay
>due in 2 weeks
>haven't started
i just don't know what to fucking do... i think i might take a break year and go travel the earth or something
>normally rush assignments
>normally get 70-80%
>not great but easy marks considering how little effort I put in
>have lab report due
>normally would rush it over a single day
>have a lot of free time, decide to start early
>research the hell out of it
>revise, draft it, redraft it
>fucking days of perfection
>got my mark back yesterday 84%
So 1 rushed day is worth 80% but 5 days of effort is only worth 4% better? Fucking kill me
top tier: ivy league or other some-such highly prestigious university where you will network with wealthy or influential people
shit tier: literally everything else

>>28180853
>top universities are top tier
thanks sherlock
>>28180931
The point is that your major and all that other shit doesn't really matter past a certain threshold. Also: there's no sense whatsoever in going to college if you can't get into a top school. All the extra stratification is unnecessary - it's top or nothing.
>>28180791
>IT low tier
It's okay tier.

Seriously though, I might lose my 4.0 this semester, and it's legit killing me. Who knew algorithms would be this hard. I need like a 95 on the final to get an A in the class.

Hey senpai how did you into IT?
Guy who majored in Business here.
You STEM people are one trick ponies who are treated like disposable cogs by charismatic jack-of-all-trades types.
I just lined up an agency in India to replace our programmers with Pajeets. I'm being patted on the back for saving so much money. Going to get a nice quarterly bonus too.

Redpill me on mathematics. Is it a good degree to get?
I'm dropping out of college in a week, I fucked up, it's all fucking over.
>Be me, 19.
>Decide to get my act together and give college a try, start my first semester in September, 2015.
>Start off strong, have mental problems but push on and complete the semester with all good grades.
>Second semester started in January, all hell just breaks loose, depression, anxiety, paranoia come back real hard, then the hallucinations again.
>Failing 3 of my 5 classes, drop out of the 4th, barely passing the 5th one.
>Going to the psychiatrist, got diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia literally today.
>Going to drop out of college in a week, try to get benefits and live with my folks until I kill myself.
My life is done, any hope of getting that job I wanted, making my parents proud, making myself proud are shot.
It's over.
anyone else /anthro/ or /history/ here?
Most of my professors are good, but I can hardly stand the typical social science / humanities student

That graphic is bullshit. Vet school is harder to get into than Med school. Veterinarian studies should be God tier.
>>28182625

HAHA stupid cucks! It's summer for another 4 months! That hell is over (for now)
Elecrrrrical engineer here. I fucked up in some exams. Im not putting an effort at all and this semester seem to be going closer to end doomed.
All i want is to practice with my recently formed band and smoke weed. Also when mygfvisits me on weekends I feel good. During weekdays i'm struggling with last minute homework and assignments, sleep 4-5 hours because i stay up late browsing 4chan or playing the guitar.

Why not just take 1 or 2 classes a semester? If you're on benefits anyway and don't need to work what's the disadvantage?
>>28183355
You're going to lose every job to me :^)
>>28182660
>end up making less than half what docs get
Eh, depends. I went med and my mate went vet. Our internship rates will be the same. Only way I'll make more than him is if I specialise through fellowship and that won't be for another 4-5 years (if ever).
>>28182625
>Vet school is harder to get into than Med school
Where do you live where vet school is harder than med? My mate only went into vet because no med school would take him. He got 0 med offers and 3 vet offers.
why is electrical worst tier? i would rather do that than civil or mechanical desu

i mean i can choose to do whatever engineering i want at this point still, just wondering why it's so bad
>>28180837
You don't even know anon, maybe if you rushed that one you would have gotten far less than your usual 70-80%
Feels like the motherfuckers never give 100% anyway

So I'm only a few months into my electrician apprenticeship and I'm enjoying it so far, and I know that what I do is wholly different from electrical engineering, but what exactly is so awful about it? Why is it literally the worst degree to get?

>>28184135
For me Its the exact opposite i dont know what am I doing for that long i didnt learn anything so far only passed cuz of luck. If you like it and know what you are doing its good if you like electricity thats good. I think you wont have much probs with it.
All I care is about money, but I'm a worthless NEET that will never achieve anything in his life
>finished a week ago

>highschool "friends" all long gone, parents hate me
i give myself five years max
the grass is always greener but i think i preferred the grind of schoolwork to this
>>28184263
You sound exactly like me anon, for me I enjoy the little things. Being at home, no normies, having lots of time to rest and recharge in solitude before going back at it again.
Whenever I'm done for the semester I just go out on a NEET burnout for a week and fap like crazy and don't even leave my room apart from the essentials, guess its just bringing the balance back after studying 10+ hrs a day for weeks one end but feels good man. I just bullshitted that I'd done tutoring for 2 years of subjects in my major and said it was all done in person and got a job, for work experience just put down your local mcdonalds to show you're not lazy I can guarantee unless the work experience is related to your field they won't give a shit and call
>>28184135
There's nothing wrong with it. It's a silly meme started by an EE who hates EE
Just dropped out of prestigous uni this week tl start a specialist degree at a small college that will only take 2 years and has a higher chance of getting me where i want to be. Realising that a prestigous university means fuck all if your treated like a number and learn fuck all, id rather go somewhere smaller and actually try enjoy myself.
Feels good man.

Had to drop out and try to find unskilled work because I was a dumb ass and got scammed. I went from having no credit to shit credit. I only owe 1500 but that's a lot when you have no income, no employment prospects, and can't be helped because of the nature of your case.

don't ask
/r9k/ is full of STEM fags so they'll relegate it to the shit tiers when in fact its quite a useful degree
>>28186275
They say everyone is good at something, at least one thing.
I believe it's not possible to be completely useless, unless you have health problems or something.
And if you like just staying at home and really are happy this way and have no other ambition maybe you could get a simple job (i.e anything) and you can be at home as much as you want once you get off work. I mean in case your parents dont support you and all that
