eh it's ok, but I feel like it's getting worse, lots of training and travelling in the next few months, lot more to do

>tfw not really that good at programming

Sounds like you ended up being a code monkey implementing CRUD apps. Sucks to be you.

research or teaching

What are you tired of, exactly?

>Looks like you ended up where 99% of CS monkeys end up
Excellent observation

>Assembling, repairing and selling computers to normies
>Webdev
>Graphics Design
>Video editing
>Social Media Marketing
But actually the programming world is huge. Maybe you just hate big software stuffs but would love to program micro controllers. Or maybe you'd like to do math-related stuff, or video game development.

to be fair, anything interesting usually requires a graduate degree or tons of experience in a niche field

Switch to EE.

I almost feel for the CS meme and I decided to start chemistry at uni instead of CS. Both fields that won't be replaced by bots & machines in the next time. Have I taken the wrong decision ?

To OP, have you tried consulting or a position in supervising ?

You can try programming something vastly different.

Moving away from that entirely, a pertinent question would be as to your mathematical skills. If you're a competent mathematician, there are paths into almost all technical careers.

You can also try to move towards finance, algorithmic trading is still very profitable, and if you're sufficiently skilled a good area to work in. Ideally you want to be able to develop the predictive models that you are to implement, which is maths.

Research

u could try sucking dicks

The solution to this problem: Stop being lazy and get experience in some interesting niche field.

CS is basically life-long problem solving. This is exciting as fuck. But you have to keep learning and improving yourself. If that's too much work be a code monkey but don't complain that it's boring. (Assuming you're OP.)

>CS
>Programming

nigga you just got a bootleg SE degree
what are you doing with your life

go back and take some more maths and theoretical courses

?
Chemistry is already pretty much bots only.

Become a sysadmin.

What the fuck, chemistry is almost entirely robotics now, you picked the worst field with your logic.

>chemistry
>manages to pick the only STEM major except psychology that is actually worse than CS

Eh, depends on where you specialise. Either go towards chemical engineering, which is boring as fuck but does hold employment prospects, or analytic chemistry. If you can do pharmaceutical chemistry that's also worthwhile. You'll probably have to find a good masters course for your degree to be worth anything though.

look at him

look at him and laugh

Psychology isn't STEM.

it's M, so it's STEM.

At what point did 'M' stop being mathematics?

Since it became medicine because mathematics is a technology.

You'll just have to spread the word to the rest of the world.

Was in the same situation, now I suck dicks for living and feel much happier. Give it a try, OP.

Hahaha, what the fuck.

Networking. Try it out.

Sucking dick is really good compared to programing. I also dress like a girl from time to time.
Feels good.

Learn C++ and contribute to the KDE project.

Learn rust and stop being stupid.

Learn haskell and meme with the big boys.

Learn sucking dicks and suck more dicks.

Learn to suck dick and become a professional pornstar.

Well, shoot anons. Guess it's time to bust out the old suction cup dildos.

I don't know where you guys took your information but a big part in chemistry requires to be in a lab and do physical labor which doesn't follow a protocoll or algorithm, something which machines and bots can't do at the moment. Even most work in research can't be automatized. The only fields where machines come in play is in the industry where chemicals have to be processed in big amounts or controlled by machines, the pharma and food industry are good examples. In research programs are used to see and predict how chemicals work and interact and for simulations. But most things are human made, machines function as a tool.
The same things applies to CS. There are already bots that can write and debug codes and design websites, but they can't do it without humans.
A friend of mine works as a chemical engineer for Volkswagen and they develop a motor which has a higher energy conversion efficiency of gasoline than normal motors. They only use the computers for the simulations, they have to do the development by themselves. No one says engineers will be replaced by a machine, just because 80% of their work needs to be made with help of a computer.

Psychology isn't STEM. Liberal arts fag BTFO.

I want to work in material research.

Sry but my job won't be replaced by a guy from mumbai called Pajeet Rashnigharasan just because as a programmer you don't need to be at the location where you work or to be in a team. Or better, by a bot which you probably have written by yourself for your company called Cuck_my_Job_AI.exe

Hivemind

Did you come here straight from the middle of the 90's? You're in for a very rude awakening a few years from now.

I fell into the same boat as you OP, here's the key:

Treat your job like a job. Just a job that you've been trained to do and get paid better than a burger flipper. Don't overwork or overthink yourself in it because at the end of the day it doesn't matter.

Save your energy for the fun stuff on your own time. Furthermore, pick a language/platform other than what you do at work, or you'll still be prone to getting burned out.

At least he will be able to make some meth.

I'm not. Even now they are trying to develop machines that do all the labor work but they still struggle in some parts to do it. And even if, who for those machines you need someone to build them, that's where chemists and engineers come into play.

Better idea ?

this desu

Not the guy you replied to, but I've been unemployed for a year and I've been stuck between 4 and 5.

How do I find out what I want to do if I can't get a single job? Everyone tells me to go back to college but I don't have any money for it.

how is someone not good or good at programming?

In my experience everyone is equally good, some just take longer to read and understand code that isn't theirs.

wut why is "this desu" replaced with "desu" ?

Join the army

>Get job programming before education

Sucks to be you idiots whose only exposure was academia. You gotta learn to love JIRA and Scrum bullshit before you can learn to love programming every day.

someone is quite new, it seems

desu senpai

again. "this_to_be_honest"

You took this long to notice the wordfilter?

>CS is basically life-long problem solving. This is exciting as fuck.
more like boring af 2bh

Came here from full_chan, but /tech/ is under construction atm. Care to elaborate why this is always changed. Is it against spam.

Look man, I don't know how old are you but if you're under 22 and you don't know what you like then you have some time to explore.
If you're over 22 and you don't know then you have a problem.

Either way go and explore life instead of being a pussy about it. How will you explore life you ask? Well, that's your first task.

If you're too much of a wuss to set a goal for yourself then see

do the same thing but work at a company that makes a product you care about

hotwheels board hasn't a wordfilter

You mean computer science as presented by the engineering department? For what possible purpose?

/sci/ please.

Network Engineer

either go to work for big pharmaceutical, or make the next new thing in drugs for tweens/ravers

what about SE and SD?

no cse is computer science with some engineering classes tossed in other than that it's pretty much a cs degree

>there are people dumb enough to actually fall for code monkey """degrees"""

>relegating people to the theoretical realms
Full respect to people on Physics and Maths but, seriously? Why will you encourage someone without the inclination to do so go after it.
>protip: it won't end well.

Because then you get to apply all the theory of CS to actual problems;
Plus understanding how to design software based on requirements; something CS doesn't care about. This will enable you to climb the ladder faster than CS on the ladder (if you're aiming for this) or allow you to relate to how software products should be designed (if you want to go solo).
And some electronics, not enough to design anything modern, but enough fully understand how modern hardware works and develop on top of bare metal.

>only other interest is chemistry.
>not as delusional as the other chemfag here.

I hoped you off all people would understand me the best. The job market for us is still better than for codemonkeys. And for the automatisation things look this list, it's very unlikely.

thisismoney.co.uk/money/news/article-2642880/Table-700-jobs-reveals-professions-likely-replaced-robots.html

my plan B is industrial designer.

I thought about the same but a lot of people tell me if you're not top-tier you'll end up as teacher.

1114 != 4111 no trips there fag.

Deluded chemfag confirmed clinically retarded!

Yeah I'll head right over to Calcutta Technical Institute and get on that Professor Pajeet.

That seems reasonable. Thanks Sup Forums.

Oh forgot to mention in that CSE stands for Computer Systems Engineering, not Science.

what is so code monkey about them?

>haskell
>employed

Choose one.

Literally the whole point of SE and SD is, literally, that literally the whole point is literally to train codemonkeys. That's literally all it's about.

>calling people retarded.
>not providing any argument to back up.

user pls I'm genuinley asking, whats the difference beween a codemonkey degree and a real one?

take a break-- do something new for a bit. I've been programming for four yrs (still NEET tho) and my motivation has come full circle many times. I find that juggling a few projects helps a lot.

Literally 100% true though.

Your damage control is extreme, you've replied with walls of text for every tiny post. Clearly you're scared now.

maybe he just likes to pontificate

>In my experience everyone is equally good, some just take longer to read and understand code that isn't theirs.
That's probably the issue. I "inherited" a big clusterfuck from my previous co-worker, even fixing the tiniest things takes so much time. The framework we are using is not very intuitive or well documented either

You get one of the degrees and actually accomplish shit with your time, instead of just expecting university to hand over a good degree to you?
What is wrong with you idiots?

Ignore the haters senpai.

I'm a chemE major. Everyone I've spoken to in the field seems to genuinely enjoy their work. I have been offered a co-op by a local automotives supplier that does injection and foam molding. The field doesn't seem to be saturated and the work seems really fulfilling if you like he science behind it. It's active problem solving rather than mindless code monkeying

>molding things all day is better than being a code monkey

Kek

>learn haskell
>write a database environment for a company
>in haskell
>nobody in the company knows haskell
>can't fire you
>easiest work ever secured

Not OP, but if you mean quants. Don't they usually require PhD?

Must be a really comfy job to want to secure it

Thats the floor Tech's job. This has more to do with resins, polymers, and that sort of shit.

>implying NEET and Shitposting OC isn't the best carrier.

Well, I'd rather do nothing all day and pull shit from db and use haskell in the mean time than stay at home neet and browsing Sup Forums all day long :p

kill yourself
