>mfw people actually do this shit
>mfw STEM engineering master race

I was actually paid for doing my design degree by a government re-integration program, I make a good 60 grand a year working in the vidya industry.

Don't think it's a bad career path, just only if you live in a shit country.

>mfw english/history degree
>mfw got to live in Japan for two years, S.Korea for one, and France for another while tutoring rich kids
>mfw I got back and did my Masters off my savings because I'm from Europe and our colleges aren't retardedly expensive
>mfw hired by my college as a tutor and now get 60k a year for teaching first years basic history and have plenty of free time to research for the articles I want to write for journals
>tfw love my job and get to pursue my passion as well

Academia is the true god tier career

>implying it matters what you do and not who you know

going to events and drinking with the right people helped my career infinitely more than my engineering degree

If you want to get into game development all you have to do is be born black, female or if you're a white fucking male turn into a tranny.

They HAVE to take you because of diverstiy quotas, even if you're shit.

thats the same with everything though. affirmative action and forced diversity are the jew influence that must be uprooted from our society.

still matters that you can back up what you do largely

coworker got hired at netflix because he met them at a conference after some back and forth on linkedin

but it also helps he's fucking insanely gifted with sql, elasticsearch and hadoop/hive/spark

How the fuck do you rack up $50k for fucking art school? You could become a commercial pilot for that much.

Is it coincidence that best designers came from other fields and had interest in video games so they applied their actual professions to them in particular ways? "Video game design schools" will just do the same thing "film schools" do - train a generation of creatively bankrupt people who do everything by the book so it's all samey shit.

I went to community college and then a followup university. I'll probably graduate with maybe $3000 debt as I've mostly used Pell grants or paid out of pocket, only really using loans for a semester or two. I'm going into graphic design, which doesn't really pay well, but at least is always in demand, and saturated with people who actually don't know what their doing and make the people that do stand out.

What exactly are my chances at not doing shit in life? I've talked to former designers and one piece of advice I've heard a few times is to get a job at a hospital's business sector, as they are technically government employees, and get pay and benefits to compensate.

because muh passion without a thought of having marketable it actually is. same shit with lit and history majors. what are your real choices? become a professor or hope some old curator dies at a museum so you can take his place.

>wagecuck

I have a friend who's studying game design, her family is rich as fuck so she doesn't have to care about a career.

Name literally one job that won't get taken over by robots in 20 years

Robot repairman

Wrong. Robots will be better at repairing robots than humans.

Doing what you like > Doing shit you hate for money

Plenty of lit/history majors land normal office jobs. Typical clueless STEM cuck only seeing the world from his bubble with a job that will be replaced by robots within 20 years lmao

Anything creative or quality assurance. Even in factories you'll always have people who have to use their eyes and see if the end result is good.

robot creator man.
you need someone to program new robots with new functionality.
Not that you won't be replace though, it will be the hottest job with millions doing the same shit that u can do, some even do it better.
you will probably still be jobless as shit.

>MUH STEM niggers STILL believe they're gonna walk out of uni into a 30k job

ahahahahahahahaaaaa

This.

>Plenty of lit/history majors land normal office jobs.
as opposed to everyone?

>start working at 18
>company pays for my training
>now earning literally 2.5x my grad friends 23
>half of them still haven't found anything relevant to their study

the only thing university taught me is that if you're not passionate about what you are doing, you won't get anywhere. With design, if you're not already good and doing stuff by yourself, you're shit.

>20 years

Lol, that's incredibly optimistic. We can't even create proper walking robots. Try 100 years.

Meanwhile people who take easy 4year degrees and have actual social skills (unlike sperglord STEMcucks) fall into the best jobs ever. Salty STEMbeards mad they chose the most mentally taxing and gruelling coursework only to be thrust into a jobforce competing with Pajeet and Xing Ching Chong's slave wage labor.

Most employers want more than a high school degree.

>major in cs
>six figures starting

>tfw getting a degree in Cinematography so I have a broader and less crowded area of expertise to work on games, movies, or cartoons
God I hope this works

>dat feel when I work as CNC operator

This is true. We'll most likely be automated in 20 years or so with couple of us still around for QA. It's basically what we already primarily do, it's just that going full automation is still not cost-efficient.

You have to be a god tier coder though
I'm a brainlet and went into CS, biggest mistake of my life

>passionate about nothing except my hatred of school and working
now what
how do I not go to college but not be a retail slave the rest of my life with no work experience

>NEET so you don't have to worry about money whilst everyone else slaves away at their menial job

Both my stemfag friends make about 100k starting.

Meanwhile I'm still making 24k with no vacation time

I'm sorry for your lots, did you get a job at least?

>tfw brainlet
>walk into CS thinking I'm just gonna learn how to program
>It's 100% math
>4 weeks in already lost

as a music major i will kill myself at 27 if i do not achieve my dreams

>got 60k from accident settlement
now what

I barely finished my degree then had to return to my home country for military shit, and honestly thank fuck for that since I would have probably killed myself otherwise. Dunno what I'll do after I go back though since I have no internships and my GPA is shit

Invest 20k in Monero.

Retire.

I'm curious, how would you define yourself as a brainlet with regards to CS? I'm also in CS and consider myself pretty bad compared to some of my peers, but okish compared to the worst in my class, I'd say.

>pure math
not really, to be honest

>Go to school for computer science after loving computers my entire childhood
>Hate it
>Drop out
>Do FPS animations for fun
>Post them to some placed in rebbit
>People see them
>Ask me to do work for them
>Slowly build a portfolio
>Now working full time animating from home making easily 2x as much as I did when I had a shitty retail job and hated my life
Who needs a degree?

CS math is pretty easy dude.

physics is the worst, straight math isn't bad. im in differntial equations this semester [thats the class AFTER calc 3 for you brainlets (^:]

>finish a bachelor degree with ease
>oh that was easy, I guess I'll get a master degree as well
>finish all subjects, get stuck on my thesis
>4 years later I still haven't finished my thesis
>it's starting to look bad on my resume
ehh

I started my compsci studies like 5 weeks ago and it hasn't been that hard yet. I'm also a brainlet that don't know math for shit. Go hard user!

I don't know the first thing about any sort of finances and have no desire to learn, plus I'm probably the most jewish person I know when it comes to money and taking risks
>retire with 60k
are you retarded? I've never even had a job before

Are you smart enough to be a programmer Sup Forums?

The thing is the university gives me 3 months to finish my thesis. Or I have to do it over again.

But I find it hard to find enough time to finish it within 3 months.
