I got my BSc degree in Maths with Stats with the intention of getting a comfy finance job, and it turned out I will fall into a major depression due to factors outside my control, completely fuck up my degree by not attending a whole year's exam session and having to delay it to the following year, settling for a shitty teacher's job for two years and now finally getting a Master's offer and starting the course trying to unfuck the last 5 years in 1 year, while posting on 4chan for anxiety management.

I got my finance degree with the intention of being a wall street millionaire and it turned out that I'm too autistic to deal with people. I'm a programmer now, making okay money and doing pretty well investing on my own.

I got my BS in Mechanical Engineering with the intention of getting a cozy job away from the hectic aerospace industry (which I grew up with), and it turned out that aerospace is the only well-paying job in my hometown.

Currently wageslaving for Airbus while working on an MS in Aerospace Engineering. I want to kill myself every day.

Do any of you guys know what a BS in Health Information Management would entail? I looked it up but the OOH is vague as possible

I have no interests and I don't know what to do. I just know I want a decent quality life. ($40k to $60k)

I am just about to finish school for Computer Science and want to get into IT and cybersecurity. I'm too autistic to ask any of my professors because I don't know any that teach something other than software eng.

Where do I begin with learning about this stuff?

Right out of high school I got my bachelors in Business Administration and Communication, because my young self thought "well if I have a full ride why not double major?" After I got the management position I went back to school to get my masters.

>>1557296
...and it turned out I did.

>>1560572

Shit, that sounds similar to what I might go through. Are you at least making good money?

I got my degree in Sociology with the intention of doing social work but ended up just self teaching myself and being a web developer. Life's alright.

>>1557296
Got a BA in Japanese language and culture. You now think I am retarded.

I wanted to work as an English teacher in Japan, to secure a long term visa and eventually citizenship. Needed a degree in literally anything to apply, and the Japanese degree taught me the language and culture. Cost me 17k but I got to spend enough time studying here that I didn't have to get used to a new job and new country at the same time.

I fit in well here while less prepared foreigners start twitching out one month in. Get enough to save a lot and will slowly start buying houses to rent to coworkers.

You have to study things you find boring. I think law is boring but I would be an idiot to get into business and pretend law doesn't exist.

Don't get a job doing something you find boring.

Anyone here go into accounting?

I went into Art History to intend on working at a museum but there weren't any jobs so I took a workshop at General Assembly and now work at Facebook. You gotta believe in yourself bros.

Fellow BI here

You making good money? Considering switching to banking or something as I'm making shit money in a small tech company, but not sure if that's all BI jobs or just here

>I got my bachelors in physics with the intent of getting a PhD and becoming a tech entrepreneur

I might go back and do a PhD at some point, just because I love science and technology and I want to work on things other than software

Collage is a pleb tier medium. You should have moved on to oils or at least acrylic.

I got my Bachelor degree in English literature with the intent of pursuing a doctorate but instead I now manage a bank and make more that I ever would have.

All in all not too bad. I've had full-time work 66% of the time since graduation, and engineering- or mining-related work for about 80% of that time. I've gotten decent work experience, made OK money, and have done relatively well in comparison to my peer group. Not terrible for 24.

>>1563434
My friend graduated in mining engineering with me and ended up working over there teaching English. Sounds like a lot of fun!

One pro of his route is he could potentially go back to being an engineer as a back-up plan.

Why did a bank hire an English lit grad? I would have assumed they'd be more interested in hiring somebody with a background in mathematics or economics.

The problem with that, I hear, is that once your out of the engineering field for a couple years, recruiters won't touch you anymore, unless you go back for a Master's first. You forget all that stuff that you learned pretty quickly.
