>8000 word paper due in 6 days

I'm so fucking overwhelmed. How the fuck is this realistic?

Masters students literally write their thesis paper at around 8000 words yet I have to write one for a fucking undergraduate class.

It's not fucking fair. I have 1000 words and so much other shit for other classes to do as well.

Start working instead of shitposting

That is nothing nigger

>>72630588
The difficulty of what you just described depends on your major.
If it is some stupid shit like philosophy or English, it is not that hard.
>>
I had a professor who made us do this shit and all you had to do was bullshit it and make sure it isn't plagiarized as he would never sit down and read 500 papers over weekend.

You're typing words right now to talk on this website. You probably type that many words in a single afternoon.

Stop being a lazy shit
>>
>>72630588
>>72630832

How is this an issue? You are writing what is basically a history class essay, as long as there isn't analytical problems to solve you shouldn't have a problem doing this in 6 days.

Take 3-4 days of reading and writing notes and you'll probably have enough information and knowledge to bullshit your way trough 8000 words.

This is why people in non-STEM fields are retarded, your assignments are high school tier.

Yeah I'm unemployed but that doesn't change the fact that non-STEM degrees have low workloads in university.

Society naturally values important people more than non-important people.

There's a little labour economics for you, pretentious, unemployed faggot.
>>
>>72631837

Because they will do the same mistake as they did now, give insane wages to their employees then fire them when the price of oil goes down.

I'd rather work in a field with smaller wages but more stability.

>>72631783

It depends, at Statoil, the highest paid workers were consultants with doctorates in physics or statistics. There is a level of complexity in some systems that cannot be understood by "normal" people.
>>
>>72632265
what is you degree in?
>>
>>72632370

Chemical Engineering.
>>
>>72632265
It's always like this. Statistics and physics are very broad subjects and require you to have a lot of background knowledge. Moreover experience is incredibly important there
>>
>>72631450
Economics is the biggest nonsense field there is though. Pretending to be scientific when it certainly is not.
>>

>8000 words tesis
That is nothing, here your tesis needs to have at least some 80 PAGES - most have 100 and something

my statistics professor says if you major in statistics you can instantly get a 6 figure job.

seems pretty easy too you just plug in numbers into an equation then write a sentence explaining it to normies
>>
>>72630659
That's like 4 paragraphs. That's nothing!
>>
>>72633986
Wow, how did you get those job offers?
>>
>>72639734
graduate from the best engineering uni in the country (which makes you go through 2 years of co-op (degree takes 5 years total this way)), so you're very skilled and employable.

The admission standards for engineering at waterloo are ridiculous now, 4-5 years ago you just needed a 90-92 average now it's 95-96+ and you get an interview and THEN they decide if you're in or not.

It's to show how deeply you understand the subject but desu you're never gonna use any of that shit, and there's better way to measure understanding than a wordcount

I don't think I'll make it lads. No one told me college would be this hard.
>>
>14 page essay due in 88 days
Fucking niggers I swear to god
>>
>>72630588
It's completely doable, but my issue is that the "short and sweet" method works more often when trying to get a point across in writing.

The word limits like these are just outdated remnants of education past.

My advice would be to get your main points gathered, and continue to break them down into more sub-points to elaborate on. Don't be afraid to give some background information on some topics to fill up space.

STEM is a total meme.

I opted out, I was considering Engineering but went the finance/econ route.

Got a finance job right before graduation. i of 8 friends that did STEM got a job and he hates it. He just sits in a lab all day staring at beakers and mixing them with different liquids to see what happens.

Another buddy just finally got a job getting paid 30k annual making sure that the cultures his company buys are the right ones and they are stored efficiently.

A literal highschool student could do what they do.
My job was 45k starting with bonuses equating to 65-80k. I just hated the job though so I quit.

You have the highest chance certainly. But just as some food for thought. The last 3 companies I worked at, the IT guys and network admins were all college dropouts who spent tons of time just fucking around with tech stuff.
>>
>>72644202
I wanted to add, 90% of your job will be centered around
>Why is the wifi down?
>How do I connect to my computer?
>Why isn't the phone/[printer working?
>Can you see everything I do on my computer? What websites can I browse?

And then eventually some guy telling you to "update" the system which basically means just installing routers and phones.
>>

Wrong bucko
Not gonna work as an IT guy
Software Engineer is where it's at.

I'm seriously considering leaving college and just getting an IT job. I'm studying economics right now and it blows hard.
>>
>>72644292
I mean good luck dude, even then 99% of the shit you are learning is going straight into the garbage and you will do some repetitive menial job.
>>
>>72630588
just checked me thesis m8, it's 42k+ words
>>
>>72644377
Why and how can you tell that?
Have you ever worked writing code and/or designing software?
>>
>>72644432
It's just the nature of the job market. I was doing comp sci as a minor before I switched to Finance when I was in school.

Everyone who graduates ends up getting a job more often than not outside of their field, and if it is in their field it's something totally bullshit.

You are better off learning how to code on your own.

A buddy of mine finished with Bio degree. Didn't like his job prospects so he took 6 months off and went cocoon mode. Learned Ruby, C+, C++ and a basic grip on Python.

He got a job where he "data farms" for like 23$ an hour. He basically said that all that code was pretty much for nothing, just an interview presentation if anything. He's planning on getting his Masters in comp sci so he can actually get a job coding.
There's nothing wrong with having big dreams. Just make sure to keep yourself grounded on what the reality of the job market is.
>>
>>72644527
I don't think you should be comparing the shit they teach in American colleges and the status of the American job market with the shit they teach in European Universities and how the European job market is.
