I'm a college student currently moving into his junior year

>>1461274
Applying for internships & networking 24/7.

You have a perfect GPA retard, go out there and get a job.

Why not study comp science? I have 2 year exp and a shitty GPA and make over 100k in kansas. I also have a bs.

>>1461278
Not OP but I graduate next semester with a BS in CS and I've never done an internship. I have a part time job that pays way better than average since I got it via nepotism, but if I quit for an internship I may not have been able to get it back.
Am I fucked?

>>1461284
Na I hire comp Sci majors all day. Just have a good attitude and act like you are excited to learn

>>1461283
I prefer engineering, though I'm also learning some programming languages in my spare time.

>>1461278
Most the classes I've taken up to this point didn't really conduce themselves to establishing a personal relationship with the professor. However, that could also just be a product of my being fucking retarded.

How do I go about making friends with professors so that they'll be able to write letters of recommendation? Do I just stop by their office and shoot the shit about engineering?

>Majoring in Mechanical engineering
What is your senior thesis going to be about? The theory of changing spark plugs.

>>1461292
Have you gone to office hours?

I just try to stop by 3-4 times a semester and get an A, and then they always give me a letter of recommendation.

My school has 46K people.

>>1461299
I've yet to take enough 400 level ME courses to offer an intelligent opinion.

>>1461301
The problem I've run into is that professor's I've spoken to don't feel they know me personally enough to write a strong letter.

Is that really all it takes? Just going in a few times a semester and chatting? Maybe I was overthinking it.

>>1461305
You are. They write letters of recommendation all the time, just give them an e-mail a few weeks in advance of when you need it. Sometimes they are busy.

>>1461305
You can also go up to them right after class and ask questions, or sit it front that might help too.

>>1461284
If your part time job is CS related or you can spin in it to something computery im sure u will be fine

>>1461329
Most of my work is done on a computer but it has fuck-all to do with software engineering. It's basically data entry.

>>1461274
Your GPA is an indication of your work ethic/intelligence.

If you get a 3.7+ in a STEM field you will have no issue at all in getting internships/part time work in related industries.

If you are interested in MechE/Materials you will be much happier (and thus get a higher GPA) studying that subject. Some argue the E-engineerings (CE, ELectronics, ELectrical etc), are safer, but, MechE will be fine and you with a good GPA won't be an issue at all.

Just try and get as much as experience as possible, even if it means you work for free during 6 weeks in your holidays

>>1461332
Maybe write a bit of code that automates a process or 2 and then you can say you automised monotonous tasks

I did it for some mathy thing and normies froth over me telling them

>>1461334
My job is running documents through a scanner, and occasionally proofreading and then mailing credits.
There's really nothing to automate.

3.4 GPA in Economics & Math degree because of shitting the bed Freshman year

>>1461350
I'm only at about 3.2 on my CS degree and that's inflated by my easy minor (Japanese).
I can't focus on math classes at all so they drag down my GPA.

A 3.4 is bad?
