i have a political science degree but i'm a sysadmin now. for tech degree is just a way to become management later.

I have more talent in creative writing, but I spend all of my time programming.

I should've have taken one of the three offers I got last may, now I'm a graduated and unemployed CompEng.

same. My dad thinks I've made a huge mistake by majoring in computer engineering, he thinks I'm not going to utilize my language potential and am going to end up burning myself out.

Third year in my major, and I'm starting to think he might've been right.

to be precise, he thought I should be majoring in law, not English literature or some broke shit.

programming has a lot of similarities to creative writing, desu

I failed precalculus 4 times :/

its silly though they should call it trig.

i really like math, but if i messed up on one test i just wouldnt go back to the class.

its really embarassing.. i like math!

I want a cute virgin gf to marry later but i fear all girls my age have no moral code and fuck chads

I'm a chad and can confirm this is true.

Dude, you have to face yourself
Judging by what you say, you're a perfectionist, so your fear is to not do something well enough

Ironically, by demanding you perform to such a high standard, you will always be way below your potential, because if you don't perform well enough right away, you hide from reality and run away from challenge

Change your perspective man, failure is not failure, it's the stepping stone to success. Failing is what allows you to grow and develop as a person. By allowing yourself to fail, you allow yourself to learn from your mistakes and not repeat them.
Ultimately, it's way more important to focusing on learning from mistakes than focusing on never doing them in the first place

I like windows 10 a lot

Even though I am skilled at programming, I know I will never be happy doing it. The only thing that keeps me holding on is the deluded thought that one day I'll be able to survive off of my creative outputs, rather than continue working like a slave for the weekends, when I can finally enjoy something.

My dream is to make a decent open hardware CPU for which people would only pay the production costs and those who want can be free from the CIA niggers without using 10 year old hardware

If you're over 22, then most women have had sex. It's not a lack of morals. It's being a person

Music degree here and am a junior admin thanks to IT classes paid by the county through a grant.

People need to stop treating computer science like a programming vocation major

Only those who love math should do it

Loving math does not mean "I like doing number crunching all day" or " I must enjoy all fields of math"

People need to stop chasing the money and instead major in what they actually enjoy

I can't live without anime

graphics design here, do i have little chance to land at least front end webdev job?

Philosophy.

Nobody cares. I can use a computer and I'm interested in IT. Never stop learning things and you'll be fine.

I did Philosophy Undergrad and Masters. I work as a software dev now though.

I literally have the "autistic skill" in programming and computer science in general but it bores me to death so I'm pursuing an electrical engineering degree.
I know that I'm literally throwing the hoe at my feet

same but with Philosophy degree, still might go to law school though.

My bachelors is in business

I dropped out of university from engineering degree because I was afraid of debt.
Now I'm in my late 20s, wagecuck, gf I had for 3 years I wanted to marry left me. Living back with my parents now.

Trying to fix my life though. Because I have nothing better to do.

T-thanks.

LONDON

I turned down a $65k + benefits job after graduation for a job that paid $80k without benefits. Three years later, I'm still making $80k, and I just accepted an offer from the other company, same job, still $65k.

>tfw my last three years of experience are apparently meaningless

Get yer hard on out, pretty baby

I have finished a computer graphics course. Now I'm probably going to work at a phone repair shop (hardware stuff).
Thanks Sup Forums for teaching me something about technology and recommending me places where I was able to learn more.

I'm illiterate. I dictate everything to my devices through voice control. I've somehow finangled my way into a $300k per year programming job. All I do is talk in code in a back office, and everyone thinks that I'm smart because they always hear me talking about code that I can't even proofread after I dictate it.

If you have at least some small projects to show your work (on your GitHub to show you know version control for collaboration) then they can begin to consider you.
I got hired from an internship for my first job.

what the fuck

>Just feel burnt out
either get used to this, or quit while you're ahead, because actual industry work is at /least/ as bad. Unless you hit some crazy jackpot and stumble upon sane/competent co-workers and bosses with reasonable demands, but that's pretty rare. I quit the industry (after much job hopping) a while ago due to this.

>300k starting
Ah, I see we've a math major here

I was home "educated" and have no formal qualifications whatsoever. I currently make a living doing code monkey tier webdev tasks on a freelance basis. I'm reasonably good at it (in the sense of picking up new technologies and writing correct, performant code) but I'm fucking awful at time management. I frequently sit on a project for most of its intended duration and finish it in a panic in the last few days.

I haven't actually missed a deadline yet, but it's only a matter of time. What's worse, while I'm sitting on the projects and entirely failing to work on them, I can't bring myself to relax and play a video game or whatever. I just spend a lot of time stressing about them when it would be so much simpler to actually work on them.

I suspect the lack of a strict academic environment in childhood, combined with a very sheltered upbringing in general, contributed to this irresponsible approach. It's very childish and weak minded of me and I really shouldn't try to find excuses for it. But no matter how many times it happens, how many times there's a close call and I nearly miss a deadline and I tell myself it won't happen again... it always does.

Occasionally I float an idea for self improvement. Maybe I should develop my own app/game and generate some passive income from it. Maybe I should study for a degree through distance learning. Maybe I should do this, maybe I should do that. But then I remember how fucking awful I am at managing my current (small) workload and laugh off any prospect of taking on more responsibilities.

I live with my parents, but they aren't rich and I don't think I leech from them. I pay rent, cover all my expenses, help with various bills, etc. They're happy with the arrangement for now. I tell them what I do, but I don't tell them the problems I have. They're proud of how "hard working" I am.

Macs are pretty nice and you're all jealous poorfags. There, I said it.

im doing super well in uni and have an internship n python baby easy job for big units lots of dollars as a result but i probably program for less than three hours a week unless its for a class :/

Face it, you won't ever find a girl that you can install gentoo with.

If your only interests or hobbies revolve around doing weeb shit on laptops, then you'll never find a girl that shares your interest. But if you develop hobbies that aren't as niche like reading a certain genre of books or being engaged in any form of politics that doesn't like on an extreme fringe, chances are you'll find a grill that has the same interest.

t. guy that likes gentoo but has a gf that doesn't know what that is - and that's okay

Idk mang, I was in pre-IB and IB for middle school and high school (pretty tough), did a BS in ME, and am doing an MS in AE, and I still leave everything to the last minute. No problems so far at school or in my full-time job (aerospace engineer)

At work it's a lot easier to stay on track - if you sit in an office for 8 hours a day, you eventually get bored enough that you actually start doing your job

smells like we in similar positions you stinky homo

i started writing shit i do and deadlines in a small book i can carry in my pocket, went ham on google calendar, act as everything is due before it is.

I fucking suck ass at programming. I've never done a computing class in my life, so learning how to use Python during my first year of Uni makes me feel worthless.

>i have no formal education in computing or any related fields
>my friend taught me to build a pc and use search engines back in the early 00s, that is all

No matter how hard I try to quit watching anime I still keep coming back to it and now i've finished 60+ series

>They don't work in any kind of advanced field and are not highly educated themselves
>I was an extremely difficult child to raise (despite being quiet and reserved as an adult) and I think they thought I would struggle in a normal school environment
>They were not particularly effective "teachers" (but I don't necessarily blame them for the decision they made)
I don't support the concept of home education in general (at least in the completely unchecked, unregulated fashion that's allowed here in the UK).

I could be considered smart in some ways, I suppose (I'm good at programming when I manage to force myself to actually do it, clients are happy with the results, etc) but I was never a gifted genius or anything like that.

I'm sure procrastination is normal to some degree but it's like I have some kind of serious mental block... I see it as a stereotype for students that's supposed to be thoroughly stamped out of you when you head into the workforce.

It's possible that a 9-5 office job might force my brain into the correct pattern, but
>if it doesn't, I would be completely fucked
>I would probably find it hard to get one without having even basic school-leaving qualifications

I don't need to use an IDE(Eclipse, Netbeans, Jetbrains) to write good, useful and well documented software. Vim+Nano just fucking work, deal with it.

I am tired of people who when they see Linux fail to do something say 'get a real operating system'. You were waiting the whole time to say that like a trained fucking monkey!

Ruby and Java are shit languages.

I hate companies that use software as a service to lock you into their products, but everyone I work with would rather pay out the ass then do any real programming so we are locked in.

Cryptocurreny is gambling, not investing.

History and Lit here. Made the move to Web developer after working as a public school teacher for nine years. No regrets. The only way PS is tolerable is if you have a shot at admin and those jobs are virtually impossible to get without a ton of diversity pokemon points.

That's because 3 years is pretty much nothing. It just means you aren't wet behind the ears anymore. Medior level starts once you've pretty much learned everything you could possibly need and are capable of completely operating on your own, senior level is when you've obtained so much experience you become the teacher to the new juniors. The gap between them can span a decade, if not longer.

This is very interesting user, thanks for linking it. I never really considered that I might have something like ADHD, but some of the things he says seem to describe me perfectly. I know what I need to do, how to do it, when it needs to be done by- and then I just... don't do it. Until I absolutely have to.

It's something to think about, anyway.

Accurate. I got into software through a fluke with a liberal arts degree. I'm still amazed at how few people from younger generations are computer literate. Thank goodness for tablet and phones segregating normies into a pen of stupidity.

I hire fresh grads all the time and they have the same time management probelems. It has little to do with formal ed imho. Most people these days just don't have a long enough time horizon to take their work seiously. If one cares about saving up money for something like kids or a cause, they tend to get going and stop distracting themselves.

Incidentally, I believe this is part of the brogrammer meme among managers. We all know from experience that young single guys mostly don't care about anything and just do work to get by at the last minute. Those who get more responsibility in their lives usually shape up and become great. Those who stay perpetual dudebros tend to maintain mediocre. And yes, there are single wizards who are exceptions to this rule.

Wise words, user. I had the same problem when I was at university. I did what you just said to the other user. But I learned that the hard way, I went to depression and stopped going to uni for several semesters. Eventually I found myself and came back to finish what I started.

Success doesn't come right away, you have to make a long trip before getting there.

How did you make the career move? Self taught? Where’d you start?

I recommend watching as many Russell Barkley lectures as you can to get a really good sense of whether you have it or not. His stuff on 'SCT' is also worth looking into, as it's a lot like ADHD, but not quite. That's basically how I find out i had it, then went to some local adhd specialists to make sure, and they confirmed my suspicions. Really wish I had found out about this before hitting college at least, but oh well, better late than never!

where can I get started with freelance programming? From the UK as well. Need to occupy myself in the holidays.

fpbp

I looked on sites like Freelancer, but didn't actually accept any jobs on those sites- instead I googled for direct contact details of the person/company posting and emailed them. I described my skillset, referred to some projects of mine (they were personal or for family etc, but I left that part out) and gave them a detailed breakdown of how I would achieve their project, what it would cost, etc. I basically acted like I was already an experienced professional (without ever actually lying/misrepresenting myself, of course).

After the first few, I mostly found myself on referrals and repeat business.

I definitely suggest you focus on webdev and related areas. Wordpress theme development, Apache troubleshooting, etc.

I have wasted years in uni (CE) despite the fact that I am smart enough to finish it easy. I could have had a pretty decent job now, start looking for a house and having a life.

thank you so much :) any idea of the number of projects that you had in an email? How many emails did you have to send out before you got an offer?

I have a computer science degree and am about to start my third different job with the title "software engineer" but I've just coasted all the way up to this point and I'm scared that I'm not actually capable of being good at programming.

That's the problem though, you can get laptops that are just as nice or even nicer for less than the equivalent mac product. XPS 13 for example.

Thanks for the black pill.
