College Thread

If you don't get a degree in STEM or to be more specific in Computer Science, don't fucking bother going to University you worthless parasite.
University is expensive and for you to go get a shithole degree, it's just a future burden on those who were more intelligent in our choices.

Civil engineering at Texas grad
Just got licensed as a professional architectural engineer.

Feels good m90

In b4 tech bubble 3.0. Enjoy being obsolete at 35 and homeless by 50.

IT degrees seem so pointless now. Gotta find something else.

All the jobs are getting taken by the foreigners or they demand so many years of experience which is so damn impossible.

>60,000 students graduated from US institutions with bachelor degrees in computer and information services.
>There are about 530,000 computing jobs currently open, according to Code.org

more information, the world is your oyster as a CS Major; pay is fantastic, jobs available after school (it's like the 40s all over again), GREAT Work/Life balance, can move anywhere in the world with this trade

>The Obama White House predicted that by 2020, there would be 1.4 million computer-science-related jobs available, and only about 400,000 computer science graduates who have the skills necessary to apply for those jobs.

This tbqhfamalam

read this Hiring foreigners isn't worth it, it costs more money to fix their code then it does to hire a Westerner to do it right the first time around.
Also Indian Universities shit out (pun intended) "Coders" without all the rigorous theory work that goes to CS thus making unemployable "graduates"

There is plenty proof that they are not a competition.
Also IT is different from CS

>tfw graduated with IT degree in December
I'm just not sure what to do for a first IT job.

Are you confusing IT for CS or legit IT?
Those are mildly useful, because someone still has to be a foot soldier.
IT is great for those who still want to get in on the money from the Technology Age we're entering but don't have enough (intelligence or drive, etc) to get a degree in CE or CS.

Going to serve in the Marine Corps for a few years and after that probably STEM if God wills it.

Why Marine Corps? You're falling for ZOG Military Complex Jewish tricks. If you go into the military do Air Force better known as Chair Force or the Coast Guard where you actually help Americans.

If there is one degree you don't need, it is a computer science degree. Seriously, I studied computer engineering at a top technical university in Europe and what I learned there is that I don't need the shit you learn at a university... all I need today is stuff I learned through experience.

Legit IT.

The CS program at the college I went to sucked from what everyone said about and that IT, or MIS as they call it, would be a good alternative.

>>top technical university
>in Europe
heh, european education is shit

What I currently have taken, taking more classes in Fall Semester.

Introduction to Science, Engineering and Tech
Numerical Control - Lathe with Intro to cam
Machine Practice and Theory
Machine Practice I
Blueprint Reading I
Blueprint Reading II GDT
Algebra

Taking Numerical Control Mill and Machine Practice II in fall.

Got a bachelors in both economics and finance at a state school (full ride), might move on for an MBA or masters in Econ. How am I gonna do in life pol?

I agree with half your post. Go to University for the paper (which is valuable) and get an internship or even a job whilst you're in Uni and you're guaranteed a job after University.

Yeah dude, it's still a good degree. No shame in not doing CS so long as you go the technology route, albeit CS does pay more

Do accounting.

Civil Engineering? Also why Algebra? you should be doing Calculus

>530,000 computing jobs currently open

Most of those will be piece of shit no future startups or generally shitty low pay jobs

Already addressed that here and

Jokes on you, I don't need a degree to sit at home all day reading philosophical books and playing video games.

The CS knowledge required to get a job at an American software company is trivially easy and universally accessible; you're naive to think this will end well for you.

The best analogue I can think of for the current situation is the abundance of Manufacturing jobs 30 years ago. It'll start off well due to the generational population size disparity before you gradually see jobs moving to nations with cheaper workers, and then "disruptive" innovation will prematurely end your career as your job will be largely automated.

feels good picking the best major because you liked video games as a kid

I can code just fine, but I.t. is a lot more fun. I'd hang myself if I had to code all fucking day.

I make more too, so suck my poopoo

Incorrect although yes there are many of those BUT I DO NOT recommend working at one unless the startup is with a buddy you know and the vision is revolutionary. You will work 50-60+ hours a week guaranteed.

>An IT makes more than a CS
HAHAHAHA, living in California and making 80k while being left with 10k isn't making more money. Anyways you're lying because CS majors make more money than IT on average eitherway
>I'd hang myself if I had to code all fucking day.
If you're efficient and your company is not a shithole the work environment is very casual. I would never work at a startup again though or any other small studio.
Right on
Accounting is where the money is at but that's just from what i've been reading on Plebbit, I have no personal anecdotes on that

If your replies are indicative of your "capable brain", you should start looking for another career ASAP.

Accounting is STEM, right?

Economics from a non Ivy League is worthless

Nice refutation cuck-buck.
I was thinking of doing Engineering but it's more time in school and more hours at the office thus creating a shitty Work/Life balance atleast that's how it is in the USA
Yes, good choice btw

bullshit i have a history degree and have had successful jobs in political organizing, marketing, real estate and advertising. making six figures in my 20's rules and i don't have to apologize to random idiots that their computers don't work like 90% of STEM majors who graduate and are too socially awkward to get a good job.

My end goal is to work in the machining industry, whether manual or numerically controlled. It can be something like a props company, that would be a dream job for me. I originally had a position that I got because of my bro, didn't know shit, worked there for 3 years got experience and then went back to college to pick up on anything I can learn. As for algebra, for the most part for someone like me that's all that is required really. Most machinists I know don't even have that lol. You can thank the sack of shits hiring people who dont know what they are doing for that.

Not really

Have fun working long hours dude.

fuck you im in biomedicine and pretty much every graduate get a job here.

I have a 2-year degree and a few certs and I make more than most of my "college educated" CS friends. Granted most went to work for start-up gaymen studios

No its a skilled trade where you pay for the education and the paycheck in the end is peanuts. Taking this path wasnt a good choice to me user.

I agree. My friend tauht himself everything and got a more prestigious job than the programmers that went to college by showing the interviewer what he is capable of in the interview. My other friend is a computer engineer but of course he had to go to college.

>Dad is an engineer and taught me everything he knows.

Jew-tier way to land a job, but life is good.

>Got a job working as an engineer
Hammering the loose ends of a car isn't real engineering.

Oh hell no I will refuse, even with nightshift, I work maximum of 10 hours and after that I call it a day, don't get me wrong I know machinists who work 12 or more hours a day and sometimes even Saturdays, those guys have too big of a lifestyle for them to ever afford it so they work until they are miserable and dead tired. They also start making mistakes with the parts and get a lot more scrap. What they will do though is have you run two machines or even 3 machines at once. I know how bad it is now, they have milked this shit for what its worth.

Yeah Engineers get brutally abused constantly it's disgusting. Hence why I didn't go into it although I would have loved doing Chemical Engineering. But yeah Engineering is basically all work no life, unfortunately. I couldn't imagine not spending time with my kid(s).

>MUH EDJUKAYSHUN
You don't need some glorified piece of toilet paper to have marketable skills.

Well, looks like we found the retard.

>Hammering the loose ends of a car isn't real engineering.

Product modeling in 3D software.

I'm an architectural engineer. Work in consulting. 8 hours a day 2 or 3 of these hours is just chillin reading the news and talkin sports or whatever with co workers.
Sometimes I travel and end up working 3 hours a day with per diem and hotel lol.

I got a degree in economics and I still feel like it was barely worth it. College fucked me up with depression over the degeneracy something fierce.

My brother went to University of Washington for a Philosophy degree and now he's $15,000 in debt and an insufferable asshole who thinks white men are the problem with the world (he himself being a white man). University is a fucking waste of time and money.

To become a licensed professional engineer you need an engineering degree.

>University is expensive and for you to go get a shithole degree, it's just a future burden on those who were more intelligent in our choices.

Im confused?

You're mad that non-STEM students are attending college? Why do you care?
Best case: those students are subsidizing STEM student's education. Worst case: some nuance effect? If you are "more intelligent in [your] choices" then why are you worried about competing with humanitards?

No. Just boring work once you finish. You will be filling ridilin and diabetes pills to help (((them))) kill of the rest of the competitive genes.

Good shit dude, but for ME and CE they get abused at work (at least for what I liked in the work field)
this It's expensive here because it baits retards. Go to community college your first two years (3k) then transfer to 4 Year University (12k) and you graduate having payed around 15k

Like my professor, he worked for Lockheed Martin and they said one day they offered him a six figure position if he would travel all across the USA. Well his wife wasn't too fond of that, so he fucking divorced her so he could make 60 more k a year. Any respect I had for him flew out the window that day. No, I will definitely not sacrifice myself for it, I will just look for another job, it doesn't always have to be in CNC machining, now days a lot of companies will take you for some other position if they know you have some stem background.

>Implies that life is about money only
Got my BA and MFA in English because I love literature. It saved my life actually. I'm now working on my Ph.D. and get paid a meager stipend. Am I struggling financially? Yes. Am I happy? The happiest I've ever been.

But I agree that most who major in the humanities do it because it's easier to sham out. Many of them are retarded actually.

Don't worry, I spent $250k on a history degree so I could go to law school and spend more. Nice to see honeypot threads for literal poors.

Are you an automotive engineer?
I would like to say FUCK YOU on behalf of all mechanics who have to work with the modern day overengineered, fragile, and unpractical excuses of vehicles you have created.

Exactly work to live not live to work. Fuck that, that's why I went into programming... Hopefully a couple more years and I can go get an upgrade in status and have it easier and make more money.

You can make money doing anything

Have fun working for someone else the rest of your life

Unless you pay yourself you work for someone else. I like my job, i work 30 hours a week.

>you gradually see jobs moving to nations with cheaper workers
This has already been happening for years; mainly with companies who care more about saving money than delivering a stable product, which usually doesn't work out in their favor.
It's actually common that American workers are hired to then come in and fix code, for example.

>end your career as your job will be largely automated.
That's inevitable for the vast majority of jobs out there; and for the few remaining jobs that are left over, competition will shoot up drastically. I'd rather save up money now, so then I don't have to worry about any of that bullshit by then.

Good choice.

This is false. They claim this so they can ship in tons of Pajeets. Meanwhile they're firing older tech employees that have gotten too high salaries and replaced them with Poos

That's a tough one but I'm going to have to say REFUGEE

Medicine here, am I okay?

no one who can "program" calls it "program." Script kiddy at best.

BSc in Health Sciences from a top university in Canada. Been applying to almost every job relevant to my degree for two years with only like 4 interviews. There are far more people with degrees than jobs available, especially in Vancouver.

I can't believe I fell for the university meme, I actually became a NEET because of it. I'm beginning to think my only prospects are wage slave jobs unless I do some sort of coding boot camp.

Hiring foreigners isn't worth it, it costs more money to fix their code then it does to hire a Westerner to do it right the first time around.
Also Indian Universities shit out (pun intended) "Coders" without all the rigorous theory work that goes to CS thus making unemployable "graduates"

There is plenty proof that they are not a competition.

God bless you, in America it's a death sentence.
8 Years of School, debt in the 150k Plus, 2-4 Years Residency.

Don't do bootcamp, i'd recommend going to Community College for the first two years then a decent four year University.

I'll keep that in mind when I'm getting emails for quant jobs they don't even offer to CS grads because they "don't know the maths"

Only downside is I work with people who think math and engineering is voodoo lol. It's mostly just applied physics and algebra.

i studied business and do quite well

i bet youre just some ass hurt linux admin faggot who thinks hes too clever to try and pursue any education. its definitely not for everyone, and pursing a trade education is also a worthwhile endeavor, but you really should fuck off with your nihilistic bullshit. you sound bitter and insecure

Electrical engy here

Is accounting okay?

I wanted to major in philosophy but this isn't an ideal world. I'm gonna study the finance Jew and try to become absurdly rich as a partner at a B4.

>kind've unhappy but don't want to take on student loans and zero employment prospects

my ex-gf worked for a company making apps and she always complained that she had to fix or rewrite everything that the pajeets did

Hey STEMfags, you wanna save the white race right? Well guess what morons if you want future generations to get uncucked then you need more Sup Forumsacks in the arts, in the media, and in the schools. We're not gonna be able to stop the constant brainwashing if all we do is complain about Salon headlines on a Laotian yak herding fan forum in between coding sessions.

Business isn't a skill. That's why the average IQ of a business major is 110, barely above average.

Pays good but mind numbingly boring.
Idk how you can be redpilled on Human Biodiversity and think pajeets are competition.

These threads are so fucking stupid

I dont live in California.

What a fag. No wonder you're desperately pushing this CS retardedness. Enjoy being automated away in 5 years to the point where even some drunk hipster can import yourentirejob.js

I chose English as my major because I had to pick, I have all of the generals out of the way and I don't want to keep that major. Where should I go from here? Can I just dive into engineering?

"business" is an umbrella term my high iq friend

and if you don't think the different disciplines within are important or think that they don't require any skill then you really are that autistic fish that doesnt realize hes swimming through water all day

but ya no coding in c is super fucking hard. and super important! thats why they bring in incompetent shitskins by the thousands to do it

Those stats are suspect. 110 is a decent IQ and business majors borderline retarded. English has a supposed average of 120, which I find even harder to believe. Both are the go-to majors for people who don't want to be in college.
