So /fit/, I'm graduating undergrad this week STEM 3.1 GPA.
I'm an obese guy, 260 lb currently, lost 30 pounds in a diet in the past 2.5 months. I'm a big stress eater (which included downing a lot of soda) so college was never helpful for me. I'm of course planning to lose a lot more in the summer but am also looking for a job, chemistry related. I got a ton of interviews lined up but they dont know what a fat fuck I am. How badly is this going to affect me? I give a good interview but looks are important.

1. you don't 'give a good interview', you 'perform well in interviews'
2. if you're a fat fuck, make sure you dress REALLY well and are VERY confident and cleaned up for your interview. charisma trumps physique any day
>>41246859
Wear a decent suit and no one will give a fuck (if you're male). If you're female then being a fat fuck pretty much writes you out of any decent job
Youre applying for a chemistry job not a wall street job, i imagine they will mostly all be ugly and fat like you

What did he mean by this?

>3.1
KEK
>>41247123
hes indian, they say 'give' for things we don't
>chemistry degree
Congrats you fell for a meme and you did a shitty job at it so its too late to pivot. Your career is ruined for the next 5 years until you can remove your GPA from your resume. Enjoy making that $13/hr because you're stuck there for the next 5 years of your life.

I got a chem degree with a worse GPA and got 22/hour off the bat.
>meme degree
literally what
>>41247663
>I got a chem degree with a worse GPA
>science major
>doesn't understand that anecdote isn't evidence
Still hourly, not a salary.
>>41247663
you went through the trouble of getting a chemistry degree and make 22 dollars an hour? LOL
>>41247673
What degree did you get? I was constantly finding jobs that paid pretty well for a entry level grad in chemistry. And I don't make hourly now but you see butthurt about someone getting a degree in a subject they like.
>>41247681
(You)
>>41247698
are you actually defending the fact that you spent 4 years doing all that work only to make 22 dollars an hour?
>>41247663
Lol that's it? Really?
I've got a shitty degree in IT from a shitty school with a shitty GPA.
I started out at 65k a year (33 an hour to you hourly fags) and didn't even really have to put any effort into finding a job
>>41247698
Me telling you something would only be anecdote. Not data.
And relax m8, I was just busting your chops. 22 an hour is pretty good imo. And at least you didn't get a shitty Liberal Arts degree.
>>41247703
Like $45,000+ with great benefits? It felt pretty good. It's above average too for graduates these days. I make 64k after 4 years of working.
>>41247720
congrats then I guess. Sorry if I didnt do something I dont like for the money.
>>41247720
>I've got a shitty degree
Anecdote
>I started out at 65k a year
Anecdote, again
>have to put any effort
Another anecdote
Lol, so you got basic stats waived for you program right?
>>41247735
you can make that out of high school
Why are people always salty as fuck every time a college degree comes up in /fit/?
just shut the fuck up about the College meme, it's a ticket to a comfy lifestyle doing a job that's actually interesting with upward mobility.
not everything is about money.
fucking spastics
>>41247757
Oh you definitely can but you arent going to get to 64k in a couple years or have much upward mobility in your workplace right out of highschool. If there someone does do that, they're talented to the point that I wouldnt be able to compete with them.
>>41247753
Oh no, I've displeased the anecdote police. I didn't know we were still in college and writing academic papers on a board where we try to pretend we're not homosexuals while looking at nearly naked men all day.
If someone who went to a school with a literal 100% acceptance rate and got what basically amounts to a crackerjack box degree with a terrible GPA and started making 65k isn't enough of an indication that somebody fucked up - I don't know what is.
>>41247819
>I don't know what is.
That's right, you don't.
