please end my misery

never attended university

what are you doing now

just got done with first year of uni plus a summer class

computer engineering

I try and try to get better at math, that's pretty much it. I don't know if this will work out

going to begin a apprenticeship

finlan
business&economics

Soul-sucking program full of greedy, hand waving bores whose only goal in life is to amass titles and money. Stopped going after one year, luckily I don't have to pay for my studies.

Philosophy seems pretty fun though, and in America it isn't that bad of a degree, although you will get made fun of.

>philosophy
I can't stop laughing

what make you think choosing philosophy as your major in college is a good idea?

online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/info-Degrees_that_Pay_you_Back-sort.html
SHUT UP SHUT UP

I know a guy who studied philosophy and thinks he is some sort of genius,also he's communist,what an idiot

>le the society is today shit
>le i will make an impact
>le ancient greekz n shiet

I want to fucking massacre every engineer I find

I'm not trying to mean or anything here, but what did you plan on doing with that?

That's one of those fields where you could only get a career in academia or writing. I sincerely hope you have at least a PhD; it's the only hope you have of getting anywhere.

t. English and History major

I don't regret it at all. If you're going to spend that much time and effort into something, you better be sure as hell that you won't regret it later in life.

Philosophy is all about thinking, and you didn't stop to think about whether it would be a good idea to study it?

maybe he only thought about it being a bad idea after learning to think by studying it

I never went to uni, lapsed out of sixth form from depression before I could go. I'm a little envious to be honest.

Dropped out of high school and I should've killed myself

So did I. Now I only need 6 months to finish my profession bachelor at the age of 29.

Just get back up

at least I will never be this stupid

studying robotics
hope i will be ok

Psychology
I enjoy it very much. I was studying in Computer Science but failed and changed careers. I regret spending two years on CS. I should have chosen Psychology first.

At leats you live in France :/

Why is the world like this
What re we supposed to study to live like normal people
what the FUCK

flag
engineering
very much, i wasted a lot of years for nothing as I failed a lot. No one will hire me if I get done

>studying robotics
cool

Library and info science, no bully please

If one decides himself apt for study in philosophy, it would at least imply that he's good at using his fucking brain.

>engineering
>no one will hire me

Flag
Chemistry
not at all. I needed a degree that fullfilled the reqs for PA school so it was either that or biology and biology is a lot less useful over all. Majoring in chemistry got me a first author credit publication in a tier 2 journal and taught me how to use several industry standard analytical instruments so if PA doesnt work out for me I always have a fallback.

That's a proper, respectable, and comfy profession, my friend. Why would you think people want to bully you for that?

If you complete the education and on time, sure. But if you read what I wrote. I wasted years failing and not even done and when I am done I will be not hired as I am trash.

>Flaggo
>Business
I fucking hated every minute of these 5 years and lost all respect I still had for myself. But at least Ima get paid extremely well from next month on.

I studied humanitarian shit instead of math. I study math rn so I am not really butthurt

Computer Engineering, No so far love this career and doing arduino shit.

i chose not to go to an university. i am too stupid for a useful degree so I just started a soul-crushing minimum wage job. it's not like I ever had a chance to succeed in life.

who the fuck cares if you like it or not
do you get paid well? yes? THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP

Computer Science

Shitloads of job opportunites (have 2 summer internships already set up this year and will definitely be working almost full time in my last year)

The work is kind of boring though but oh well

Is there no higher education you can take that isn't for smart people?

Computational Linguistics
I found an internship in an IT security firm and they probably keep me afterwards, so it's comfy for now.

Wow

Even in Croatia this seems to work out well. I just hope the normies don't discover Computer Science, or it will become the next Marketing

>Computational Linguistics
W-wew
I'd like to study linguistics with computers and shit too
How do I do it user? Pls tell me more :3
Not OP btw

normies despise programming
they think it's the most boring thing imaginable

>flag
>engineering
Easy job with good pay but >no gf depression because there are no girls in engineering.

>lol it has the word science on it xd
>robots will replace you

the fuck is that

physical therapy, wanted medicine but medical schools here are for S tier students and I didn't want to study that hard. I can still take qualification exams for medical school after this degree anyways

>USA
>dropped out
>teaching myself databases, python, and GIS
wish i stayed in school

Well if I hadn't occupied myself with diarrhea for 5 years I might have maintained some dignity and drive and might not be a 25 yo virgin with a rapidly receding hairline and the only remaining hope of at least having some success as a corporate drone so it is all relative

It's a very broad subject and covers topics like machine translation, speech synthesis, sentiment analysis, information retrieval, automated text summarisation etc etc

Basically finding useful information from written text in human languages using computers.

Natural Language Processing.

Applications include Data Mining, Sentiment Mining, Search Engines, Dialogue Systems, Semantic Analysis... Much more statistical and much less linguistic than you'd expect

BTW, moot studied Computational Linguistics too

Mexico
About to get med degree
Being a doctor in this shithole is retarded, we have to sacrifice our youth attending dumb and poor people in the middle of nowhere for a year and after that we need to sacrifice more years of our life becoming specialists.

You must be born in a poor family, they are usually obsessed with money.
Doing something you like is as much important as being well paid, I'd say you need a good balance between the two.
The highest wage is a trap if you hate your job.

But normies despise economics or engineering as well, and they still force themselves onto it because they believe it equals easy $$$

How come you ended up in IT security? NLP is pretty popular at my uni but there's almost no jobs in it (and few jobs in ML in general). IT security pays very well so I'm assuming it's similar in Germany?

What the hell that sounds fucking awesome
I don't even know if that exists in France

The trap today is actually ending up unemployed and dependant upon your family forever

Especially in your region of Europe.

Ve a chile si estudias medicina, acá las clínicas medicas privadas con capaces de pagar las multas del gobierno y tu especialidad si prometes trabajar con ellos y no deberías ganar menos de 10k al mes, eso sumado al estatus social te permitiría vivir tan bien como en el primer mundo

>your cunt tree
Look at the flag, faggot.
>what did you study
I was getting to become a teacher of history and english
>how much do you regret it
Don't regret it at all, I only wish I could spend more time studying really hard since some of former classmates ended up working at pretty good places. Studying English was useful though - I work as a stuart in flying company.

Physician
Not really, working as aircraft programmer , it's connected

my parents did med school in mexico. still better than here, where you have to do 4 years of college before starting med school at 22 years old (at the earliest). and then there's the student debt (medical school is very expensive, much more than college).
>4 yrs undergrad
>4 yrs med school
>4 yrs residency
>2 yrs fellowship

A robot will replace you.
t. kurzweil

It's similar all over the World. IT security is becoming big. Here it's for compliance reasons: public institutions working with sensible data in Germany have to guarantee some level of IT security.

They didn't care that my subject is Computational Linguistics. The question was: can you program? Are you passionate and willing to learn? I was. CL jobs are indeed scarce, it's a limited field.

Lmao of course it exists Pierre it's a part of Computer science.

no degrees i got my education on the streets of moscow

All of my family went to un for generations, so no one cares about money that much, younger generations are encouraged to pursue whaterver meme degree they want but philosophy

Didn't study (maybe 2-3 hours in 10 months). Dropped out of high school, living the NEET life right now.

based

It exists in France, I Googled it

But it's only common in the Anglosphere, for obvious reasons: English is the lingua franca

CS and math
one more year
regret? no
sometimes i regret i took too much math that i didn't really need and it was kinda hard so it brought my GPA down to 3.2 but hey it is addictive

That's respectable

Are you using language processing in your IT security job though? I was always curious about the applications in fraud detection etc

Not yet. Maybe I'll use some Machine Learning later, but so far, it's general codemonkey work

I got a literary baccalaureate because I loved languages
Fuck my life

Finance

Haven't regretted it one bit

but surely you will get it all back in no time if you have a good career as a specialist etc. so it is like an investment

That would mean a zero wage, hence not very balanced.

>tfw I took a boring bank software job because the demand is so high and the job's a 5 minute walk away from my apartment

That's the same everywhere mate. You have to spend a lot of time studying to be a respectable doctor. Do you think it wouldn't be something serious? You'd be in charge of human lives.
Also, attending "dumb and poor" people is necessary to your education. Not only are you doing a service to your folk, but you are also learning to treat all sorts of people. That's what it's all about, people.

Yeah, but if you we're to study Computational Linguistics expecting lots of linguistics, you'd be disappointed. It's 40% programming, 5% statistics/probability theory, 35% general computer science and, at best, 20% pure linguistics

You probably have like investement bankers and petroleum engineers just as much cash in their 20s while Doctor Yang is stil studying his ass off at med school.

If you're truly (!) into IT, every job is exciting, because the logic behind it fascinates you

Also, you have banks in Croatia? Lel.

Military academy Reserve officer
I'm regretting my six-year mandatory service period.

Just make sure you specialize on some shitty core banking technology no one wants to get into and with banks changing their core software one in 50 years you'll be showered in money near the end of your career. At least that's how it used to work.

Well I don't think there are any other jobs for studying linguistics so...

economics

I regret it because I don't give a fuck about economics, I should have chosen something more autistic like math or statistics

possibly... who knows.

>Also, you have banks in Croatia
Mostly owned by your southern brother lel but this one is actually still Croatian.

>If you're truly (!) into IT, every job is exciting
That's pushing it tbqh.
I don't see myself in this forever though, that's the main beauty in software there's plenty of opportunities and directions you can try out at least when you're starting out.

There are, but the amount of specialists surpasses the amount of jobs by far

yeah they still need fucking COBOL coders once in a while lmao

Applied maths for engineering
still haven't finished(I'm in my last year of specialization), but overall I don't regret it and from what I've seen our specialization gives us lots of possibilities

>I should have chosen something more autistic like math or statistics
I'm doing BA & Economics too but I recognize that Math is the superior degree 2bh

Brazil
Military academy
I'm ok with my career decisions so far.

architecture
might go into urban planning

Why won't you guys just become builders?

economics is good if you have social skills and manage to get a well paid job but otherwise is trash that doesn't give you any useful practical or theoretical skill

GIS is more interesting to work with than CAD imo

Austro-Germany failed to conquer Europe by conventional means, so we're doing it through the backdoor, economically

Learn while you're young. Cloud Computing, SharePoint and IT security are the kickass fields right now. Convince your employer that he'll find some new technology useful and use the opportunity to learn it

>Cloud Computing
My master's thesis will be covering that.

>US
>IT
>Can't get a job because I can't compete with Pajeet

True, true, networking is the strongest reason to choose one of those fancy unis ( Bocconi and Lewissssss). I mean it's not bad though, every major needs a little bit of social skills, but Maths is so flexible it's embarrassing, banks are always looking for people who have a math degree.
