I'm awful at math. I feel like I could be better at it if I had a good math teacher and I actually applied myself but I have no idea how to do either.
I'm pretty good at English but writing is painfully boring to me and I have a hard time learning new languages (took 4 years of Spanish and don't remember a thing)
I love art, but who doesn't? There's literally no jobs and I'm not about to get a degree in something where there's almost no potential in the industry.
Feeling at a bit of a loss here. So far the things I've seriously considered are Engineering, but I'm shit at math. Computer science, but I'm shit at math and some sort of bullshit arts degree which will lead to nothing
Michael Long
It's not like you need to absolutely love your future job. Just pick something. Whatever brings food on your family's table will do.
Christopher Adams
it chooses you user, it chooses you
Charles Powell
I'd rather have a liberal arts degree and make jack shit than go into a field I'm not interested in
Jose James
I regret not becoming a teacher tbqh >pension >summers off >random workshop days >kids dont know if u are hungover >show movies when you feel like it >'respectable' job in society
and from what i've seen, the base pay is shit. But i know tons of teachers who make near 6 figures after a lot of years.
Brayden Ortiz
Sounds like you should go into a softer science. You'll only need basic calc and stats.
Sebastian Gonzalez
>Whatever brings food on your family's table will do. reading comprehension you need it
Josiah White
I also know alot of teachers that are unemployed, user. That fields really oversaturated from what I hear
Science is something I'm interested in, something to do with space maybe
Nicholas Walker
I'd try a different board user, maybe /diy/ or something less retarded than Sup Forums
Juan Reed
I have a bullshit liberal arts degree and I deliver pizza full time. I'm thinking about getting my masters to become a librarian but I want to work in a library first to see if I'll even like it. Problem is, like every job, every low level library position wants at least a years worth of library experience.
I should have just gone to trade school and become a plumber or a mechanic or some shit.
Benjamin Murphy
I have a relative that is a teacher. Hates it. Is underpaid and overworked. Long hours, principal asks them to do more than required, then bitches when all the work is done. Parents of students are retards they say. Been teaching for 23 years, only at 65kyr salary but at least health care is good and free. In midwest USA for demographic
Jaxson Bennett
Take a trade you'll make good wage, better workplaces and you won't be put in crippling debt
Alexander Thomas
Well astrophysics and astronomy tend to be heavy on the math.
Parker Gomez
Isn't /diy/ where all the dads hang out? Seems like a really dad type board and not the kinda place where this thread would fit
Exactly why I don't want a degree in arts. Nobody is hiring artists and if they are there's 1,000 other people that can do it better
I'm pretty interested in blacksmithing but I feel like that would be long, hot days for not a very great pay
Colton Green
This. > 2 year associates in HVAC costs me 6k > Easy work > Steady work > 75k + benefits /yr and all overtime i want
Joshua Perry
The first thing you need to realize is that no matter what you choose it is not going to be easy. So accept that.
I promise you that math is the same for everyone and it is just a matter of your attitude and making sure you have solid foundations. You can go on khan academy website and start as basic as you need. If you choose engineering you need to learn everything 100 percent early on because it is only going to get harder and escalate quickly.
Personally I would either teach myself to program or go to trade school. Honestly, I only stay in college because I am tired of quitting everything, I already have debt, and I guess it has some tiny amount of bullshit respect in it.
Brayden Cox
God dammit
Nolan Gutierrez
I've been using khan academy for probably 2-3 years now. I just can't fucking grasp it
Joseph Kelly
>blacksmithing No money there. Get into welding thats where the money is at, especially if you're willing to do the really dangerous jobs
Connor Brown
Am I really shit at maths?
Jordan Long
I was think more along the lines of sociology, biology, environmental sciencemaybe even medicine.
I'm doing my bachelor's in enviro rn.
Julian Moore
It's a metric or balance of what you're good at or your skills, what you enjoy or at least can tolerate and what pays really really well.
Balance those three for your perfect career.
Jose Thomas
Khan academy is shit man. Get some good textbooks and do it the hard way. Practice practice practice. You'll be fucking golden.
Connor Ross
What about law? Can earn money with that and you won't need math. Being good at English also helps
Isaiah Lee
That's what I figured. Welding sounds cool, might give that a shot
My parents are both traditional doctors (acupuncturists, chiropractors etc) and they make good money, I've got no interest in that though.
What I'm good at has no money and what and what I enjoy I don't have the ability to do professionally
I feel like at this point I'd have to go back to fucking 5th grade math to get a grasp on it
That could maybe work
Jeremiah Parker
Idk dude I know I will probably never be a silk or a QC or of any significant standing not to mention dunno what will happen money wise. One thing I learnt is you need to be able to talk the talk otherwise people think ur dumb like they think I am now.
Brandon Walker
If you really want to get better do whatever you gotta do.
Joshua Torres
I like the idea of sitting in the back and not having to be in the light. I liked the idea of cs/ce. I eat sleep and shit technology and shit. I love it. But again its like can I really do this. Can I be like really really fucking good at this? Not sure.
Jayden Cox
tell me more plz
Hunter Thomas
Law is like a completely new thing to me. Its like a challenge and I almost want to do it but then again I did this is shit as a challenge to improve those other aspects of me like social shit etc but that's been a big fucking fail.
Joshua Butler
So yes I'm stuck. I need some hands on experience of one or preferably both of these memes to know what's up. I'm not stupid enough to fall for that university marketing shit. Fool me once etc.
Thomas Jones
You don't neccessarily have to talk to people a lot. There also lawyers who spent most of their time drafting contracts or doing similar work. I'd say the bigger the company is you work for, the less you have to talk to people
Juan Fisher
>What I'm good at has no money Masturbation doesn't count.
If you're actually kind of intelligent despite being shitty at maths and want to get into tech, try IT. A sysadmin gets paid more than some engineers and basically sits around checking things are still fine. You'll get paid to masturbate if you learn to work remotely and answer phones.
Or you can get into welding...
Law won't work unless you actually enjoy studying, it means memorising a surprising amount.
At very least play to your strengths.
Luke Roberts
Sciences. Get into sciences or IT. A lotta jobs in those areas.
Luis Williams
Accounting. Any dumb shit can do it. Good job prospects and pay if you put in a bare minimum of effort
David Sullivan
Heating AC and Ventilation, easy work. Have to be somewhat mechanically inclined but there is always something new to learn in this trade. Keeps it interesting.
Jose Lopez
IT sounds like it would be good, I have a couple friends that make bank in IT
Doesn't accounting require alot of math...?
Liam Moore
The money is in practice or at least a law firm or something. How long will you just be a faggot and prep cases eventually you will want more. You will want to present/take it to court. I know I will.
Brody Jones
accounting is always a good fall back if not the military is the best place for a shit bag a few years around bubba motivate you
Christian Mitchell
McDonald's.
Don't know what else to say. If you want a better job pursue higher education and this time work hard at it. If you rule out the sciences and English then you have nothing.
Brandon Phillips
This is like crazy. Why must I do this shit? I already said I wanted to actually do some of this is shit in work while studying something else but that wasn't good enough for you Then you changed it from cs to anything. Now you're like ohhh I guess I was wrong now you take this whatever job. What the fuck man. What is this shit
Landon White
I didn't rule out English or science you did. You literally said I'm shit at math.
Logan Clark
Then somewhere you memed in actor This is like ridiculous. Its a nice thought but my actual situation is steadfastly worsening by the day and you are just fucking around pushing out new ideas like farts
Alexander Green
Go into OHS... good pay, plenty of jobs. A retard could do the job it's so easy
James Bell
Are you incapable of reading. Help me pick one of the existing options stop making these new fucking jobs you fuck
Aiden Sullivan
Just wanna point out that this isn't OP ^
Kevin Lewis
Thread instantly died after that. ok
Noah Garcia
A lot of basic arithmetic. You'll never touch any math beyond elementary school level
Cooper Butler
Alright, then I guess star gazing is back on the list of possibilities
Eli Nguyen
*accounting Astronomy/astrophysics is heavy as fuck on advanced math
Evan White
Is film a viable career? I know photography is impossible but what about directing n' all that?
