Going into finance next year, what can I expect boys?

>>35533726
eh, could be going better.

>>35533815
You will probably learn lots about finance

Halfway through my second semester of programming.

Average on our last test in object-oriented Java was 50%.

The midterm this Friday is going to annihilate us.

been neeting it up for the last few years but now mum is demanding that I go to uni.
the problem is, i'm fucking retarded and have no drive in life. I'm good at nothing and perfectly content with just being a shut-in the rest of my life. But I guess that's ending soon.

What should I take thats piss easy, easy enough for a autistic brainlet retard like me to understand, and involves the least amount of social interaction? (ie group/partner work, presentations, networking, projects...basically anything that involves having to speak to people.)

All college girls are fucking turbo Staceys. I've managed to find just about every kind of girls except the one I want.

I spent four years.

Four years working hard. Trying to keep my grades up. I had a part time job for a lot of it to save up some money.

Couldn't get an internship. Applied to so many places, nobody ever wanted to even call or interview me. Many were just dead end responses even after multiple attempts.

Now can't get job. Apply to so many places and companies will say they will interview me and then forget, or cancel them. Going to graduate in one of the most lucrative fields ever and be part of the tiny minority who can't find a job in it.

$80000 in loans. 4 years of trying in school. And for what?

Graduating in a week lads, it'll be nice to not be surrounded by hyperliberal normie cunts but desu i'm not looking forward to being a NEET or having to find a job

just dropped out today, feels good.

probs be homeless soon

Dropped out of uni a month ago

>fired from job the week before dropping out for dude weed by a snitching co worker
>homeless bum hitchhiking for 2 weeks as I slowly make my way to NYC
>become begger in NYC making about 300-400 on a good day

Currently just spending all my money on weed an alc, sleeping in girls houses whenever I can after fucking them. Gots a decent amount of money and even have an iPhone. Usually pretty wasted by 10am off some liquor, roll backwoods when I smoke, smoke about 7 grams a day. Sleeping outside isn't so bad either just gets super cold sometimes.

probably going to fail again and have to drop out. on my third year. I wish I had just gone with my instinct and never gone to college in the first place. although even if I stayed I'd probably end up like >>35533997 anyway.

How does going back to school work? I just left about 1 month into a semester like 2 years ago and I'm finally ready to go back. Do I just re-apply? What happens with those classes I failed? Money isn't a problem cause my schooling is free.

>>35534060
Thank you for reminding me to never give to beggars.

>>35534106
I don't know I've only been on academic probation, just call the admissions and they'll tell you. Don't think you'll need to re-apply though.
>Money isn't a problem cause my schooling is free.
RREEEE FUCK YOU

>>35533815
It's much more competitive than accounting in terms of getting a good job/connected

Our professional accounting program (the one that hooks people up with the big 4 firms) accepted 134 people last year

The professional financial program only accepted 10, and the volume of students is the same for that field of study. You needed a 3.9 GPA just to be considered for it

Basically what I'm saying is; be on top of your shit. Otherwise you're just wasting your time

>>35534165
Isn't everything so competitive? What did they think was going to happen when they tell every single fucking kid to go to college? Oh nevermind (((they))) knew exactly what they were doing.

>>35534087

You liked P-Chem more than Analytical Chem Desu? What are you smoking Desu?

>>35533997
You clearly didn't try hard enough and embellishing your story to get undeserved sympathy. I know fucking losers with shitty GPAs in engineering/accounting/marketing that snagged shitty internships.

You'd have to be a lazy sack of shit to not even be considered for one.

>>35534106
I am a Computer Science major.

Ok I wanna start up again this fall. Kinda stressed about it though.

>>35533726
It's my last semester. I have all of my paperwork in for graduation. I have three lab classes, two bio and one chem. I'm trying to quit drinking and and the course load for these classes is pretty high so I've been stressed out and having a hard time budgeting my time. All I have to do is get C's to graduate cum laude.

>>35534242
What area do you live in and go to school in? maybe it's not a big cs area?
Also
I've seen a lot of people
Saying cs is a meme cause so many foreigners are stealing the jobs.
Any truth to that?

>>35534205
Some things are way more competitive than others, which was the point of my post.

But yeah, the "college" market has been diluted with tons of people, making everything much harder to attain. Sucks to suck, but you've got to adapt.

>>35534165
But isn't it also really easy to find a job as a finance student?

Also, what kind of stuff are they looking for exactly? Just grades? I'm considering getting involved with the student life at my university but don't know what I clubs and stuff I should take part in. Any recommendations? Thanks.

Holy shit I just want to die. The SECOND I get out of classes I start doing homework and other obligations. I have like one fucking free hour between working and going to bed which I have to shower/eat during then I get like 15 minutes to lurk here because honestly what else would I do

>>35534311
>Any other competitive academic anons?
What does that even mean? What field?

>>35534305
So based on my understanding, (I go to a school with a really good business/management school) it's more competitive on the finance side than the accounting side (what I'm doing)

Everybody that got jobs at MetLife, the #1 goal for finance students due to prestige/pay were super involved on campus, got officer positions in student orgs, stayed involved with top faculty and kept their GPAs above a 3.7 (and even that was considered "low")

Some even took it upon themselves to get papers published to Havard and Oxford. Why it's so competitive? Fuck if I know. Everybody wants to do Wall Street/investment banking shit due to how that's shown in the movies I guess.

>Getting straight A's but can't get a internship in CS

>>35534305
Recommendations:

If you're Latino, join ALPFA. It's a fantastic club to make friends in

Find a finance leadership club

And then find a social club that has a lot of people in your field of study. If you're surrounded by people in your field, you'll keep your mind sharp.

Competitive as in GPA?

I had top grade in my class all years until now (4th year) while working to pay rent and taking an accelerated courseload. It's so hard for me to give a fuck any more more, I haven't applied to jobs since Dec (only had 2 interview so far, no offer) and I'm going out 3-4 nights/week instead of studying or working F/T at my current job. Hope I get my motivation back once midterms end. Plan is algorithm design research over the summer just so I can take it easy and recuperate from the burnout.

If you already did AP Calc then you'll already know what Calc 1-3 is pretty much like. If you're good at math, then Calc should be easy overall. Physics can be a bit dicey if you don't know what's happening, so make sure you don't fall behind in those classes.
Overall it's not that bad.

>>35534737
- Make sure you understand why your formulas work, not just how to apply them. Just applying the formula is a shortcut; if you don't understand it future years will be harder.
- That especially applies to calculus.
- Work hard at socialising and getting along with people even if you don't like them. Good social skills will help you stand out from the other engineers.

Stupidly huge amounts of math for jobs that pay between $50- $60,000 yearly. Even if go through all the way to a PhD, you probably won't be getting annual pay higher than $90k. If you are smart enough to do biochemistry then you you are smart enough to get into a better paying field.

They must have had bad AP Calc teachers then, cause in my AP Calc class I got a 5 on the AP exam, I got near a perfect score in the class, and I had no problem understanding any of the concepts.
Luckily though I had a good teacher, who also taught in the way that works best for me, and we had a lot of time for AP Calc at the Charter school I went to.

>>35535192
>What the fuck is this shit? Spivak?

Yes, our first year calculus was based on Spivak's text. Every comp sci, statistics, and math major had to take this specific calculus course to stay in the program. About 30% of them failed and had to retake the course, or ended up dropping out.

I also took analysis in 2nd and 3rd year and we used Kolmogorov's and Royden/Fitzpatrick's real analysis texts.

>>35535428
It's not hard though! The difficulty is normal. Our early year courses just aren't demanding enough. Almost everyone I know has awful proof skills. They make circular arguments and can't use quantifiers properly. If the early courses were harder, they would be better at those skills. Instead, even studious people flail because they didn't get enough practice struggling. That's why hard intro courses are a gift.

I'm not sure how much weight these rankings hold but it's math program is comfortably in the top20 on this list. Historically it's undergraduates have performed well on the Putnam competition.

I graduated already and finished that class with a decent grade - certainly well above the average.

As for whether I came out with stronger or useful skills, I'm not sure. The degree hasn't really opened too many doors in terms of employment opportunities.

I came on this course because i wanted to study complexity, computability, logic, languages and machine theory, all that sort of theoretical stuff. Thats what i was led to believe CS actually was.

Instead i'm barely passing practical modules because i am neither any good, nor have any interest, in programming in a software engineering sense. I'm over halfway through the course and haven't even touched what I actually came here to learn.

Don't worry. If you feel confident with proofs, it's not hard. If you're shaky on them, you have time to practice. My point isn't "Real analysis is hard," more like "students at my uni suck at upper-year courses because our intro courses are ezmode."

I just started compsci, part time but next semester ill go full time.

What do you anons think i should minor in? physics seems like a meme. Im thinking either psycology, biology or chemistry.

leaning towards psyc, any comments anons?

>also which one will get me a qtpi animu bf

>>35536295
Depends entirely on what you'd want to use your degree for. Certainly either biology or chemistry.

Im very flexible, i'm not so worried about future career planning. Those three subject are what i'm personally interested in.

I'm wondering which ones anons think would tie in the best to computer science.

Im very interested in Artificial intelligence as to why i'm leaning towards psychology.

>>35536295
Honestly no one really looks at what you minored in. Just pick something you enjoy that will help boost your gpa.

i just need to go away to like some log cabin somewhere and work my shit out

>>35536453
Psych won't help with that too much.

Get a double major in statistics and CS if that's really what you want to do but be prepared to go for a PhD because there's a lot of AI people and not too many openings.

That's true, but i'd be willing to gamble on the fact that careers in AI development will increase exponentially within the next 10-20 years.

I don't have a particularly great maths background although i'm quite confident i'll learn as i go.

I'm 22, feel too old to push for PhD but see how things go I guess.

>>35536465
How were you admitted into an economics program without math prerequisites?

Artfag here. Feel free to point and laugh. I just got back from working ten-ish hours on a project and idgaf anymore.

>>35536709
What kinda art anon? If its not design, well, i admire your dedication

specially if you're an american.

>>35536749
Well two of two checkboxes aren't bad. I'm going to do sculpture as a focus. As for what kind, I honestly don't know as I spend all of my time working on shit for class.
I have been looking into how to do metal casting for shits and giggles in the future though. I just need to find somewhere to build the oven for melting ingots.

Ah, contributing to the singularity I see.

I'll go to the lectures today so I can drop by the liquor store afterwards.

>>35536709
I have a question for artfags

Why not just attend art classes without enrolling in them?

That way you don't have to pay for the degree but you still learn the trade. Do professors prevent you from attending classes and lectures if you're not enrolled?

>>35537082
I'm not following, how would you take classes from an art professor who works at a University without enrolling?

If you mean an apprenticeship then that is possible I suppose, but I don't really know how one would do that.

A friend of mine did revive that offer from a teacher in our department, but that was after taking the class. I guess the teacher was just that impressed with her work.

Writing essays is easy in hindsight when you have a topic but it's always tedious af to actually write them

>midterm is an in-class essay response
should I try and study or just bullshit it as always?

god damn it I wish this professor would curve, I know at least half the class is going fail to shit with me.

>>35537322
This is what I'm referring to:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_audit

It's when you attend college classes but you don't get a degree at the end of it.

If the art degree itself isn't worth anything but you still want to learn how to create art, why don't art students just audit art classes?

>>35537473
I looked into it out of curiosity. At my Uni you have to get permission from the instructor, and meet prerequisites for the course which would stop you at my school pretty early.
Barring that I suppose that it would be doable. I just went with art because I was told I had to go to college. I had to pick something.

Lol you gotta look up things that interest you as well as pay well desu. I just know that jobs in biochem pay shit because I was interested in it at some point and I did research. I know that Stuff in biology is around the same level of difficulty and alot jobs in that field pay $70k and up. Bio is also good for premed if you want to go down that path. Google stuff my man.

Doing my taxes for me if you're lucky someday. Or possibly helping some corporation figure out how much something might cost. You're part of a big machine -- specifically, the part that helps rich people figure out how much money they have and how they should use it to make more money for themselves. They will pay you enough that you can eventually stop giving them all your money for rent, and instead get a small box to live in, though you still have to pay rent to the government in the form of property taxes.

The funny thing is that this retaking consist only of those two courses, I won't have to pay a dime and it won't delay my degree, because next year I'll be able to do that and courses from the third semester.

I got a 1.0 on an exam I had on Monday. While it's nice to have good grades, I know it wasn't deserved because I didn't understand a good portion of the class, I just had a good feeling for what kind of problems would be on it and just practiced those.

It's competitive because it's a small business in terms of the amount of people working within in and it's an ever decreasing pool of people as well due to computers taking over.

The top tier firms obviously wants the best people possible, someone who's shown he's willing to spend five years of his life in school (top grades) is also willing to work 80-100 hour weeks.

Had enough of my fucking housemate already.

His room is next to mine, so if he hears me open my door he jumps up and opens his every time.

If I manage to get past, he will hear the door downstairs and he will come into the living room.

Problem is, the bathroom is adjoined to the living room (fucked up I know), so he even makes my shits uncomfortable.

Just done my uni accommodation application and there was a bit where it asks for disabilities, I've got pretty bad depression and insomnia (with some social anxiety for good measure) and I ticked the ''mental disorder'' box, does that mean they'll put me in the spaz accommodations? with like the sen heads and shit? Proper worried because I am really looking forward to meeting a new group of people and hopefully going out regularly with them but dont want to be with proper mental lot unless its a QT schizo girl.

Should I get wasted?

Going to college next year, what should I major in and what career field should I aim for? If I want a stable, decent paying job that won't make me want to kill myself lol

I have no specific interests or a dream job, but I do well in school (work ethic, grades) cause I have no friends.

I'm good at math and science. My parents are pushing premed on me bc I'm Asian but I don't wanna die in med school. Engineering sounds nice but I don't want to be the only girl in classes either. So what should I do?

>>35551895

>>35552260
engineering is a huge meme, no? Just reading this thread it seems the general consensus is that STEM is a meme and not worth it, but it's the only thing I'm good at :(

I want to go to uni however I feel like it's just a meme and I'm not sure if paying a shit tonne of money to study something is worth it because I can make a decent enough living for myself with skills I already have. Half the reason why I'd want to go is it would force me to not actively avoid people.

>>35552463
>half the reason why I'd want to go is it would force me to not actively avoid people.
This is my second year here and I actively avoid people more than ever.

This semester has been busy because my schedule consists pretty much completely of chemistry classes (Analytical II, Inorganic, Biochemistry II), but I've only got one more semester to go and it shouldn't be too bad as I just have to make it through pchem pretty much. I've still got some homework to do over spring break that I keep procrastinating, but I've still got the rest of the week and weekend to go. I have to do a seminar at the end of the semester and I kind of need to start working on that, gonna do it on something I've been doing in my research lab. I should have 2-3 papers that I'm authored on by the end of the semester so hopefully that makes me look better when I try to get a job.

I deal with biophysical and thermodynamic type stuff. Basically we look at the thermodynamics of ligands binding to DNA, to see if they would be effective anti-cancer agents just in terms of how well they bind to DNA. We test a variety of ligands on a variety of DNA types such as duplex, quadruplex, telomere, cancer sequences such as c-Myc and Ras. Our most commonly used instruments are isothermal titration calorimetry, Circular Dichroism spectroscopy, and occasionally things like Mass spectroscopy and molecular modelling. That's kind of the brief overview, some of the drugs with deal with are things like ruthenium complexes that are essentially planar.

I'm going back to school next semester, spring 18 at the latest. I got accepted for comp sci and plan on finishing with a Master's, since I have the GI bill and some college done already.

What's a good emphasis? Programming, security? Should I try to do comp. Engineering instead?

>>35553002

I also dealt with fluorescence spectroscopy for a bit, but that was pretty short lived.

Roasties and chads are getting triggered by this critique of the degenerate behaviour that takes place at a uni near mine.

Not good desu pal. Got major depressed this year and didn't go to any lectures for like 4 months. Going to apply to resit the year, but that's not all bad because all my mates are doing master's, and I get a lot of free money from SLC (britfag btw).

The only problem is that my uni basically expels you until the point in the time one year after you started fucking up, then re-enrolls you, so I need to try to convince them I've been buggered for ages to get maximum benefit. I have, but not sure how to prove it.

oh god, went to the library late tonight to print stuff off. It was reasonably populated at midnight. Why do so many people use the library this late? I was expecting very few, especially so far from exams.

Go to a doctor and let him write a note explaining your mental health issues. Your university administration will then recognise the cause for your grades being poor. It would help if you had some good grades when you weren't depressed to prove that your performance is usually on par but probably not necessary.

Everything is going ok, great even but my love life is bad, real bad and for some reason that invalidates everything else, i can't help but feel empty. Nothing feels satisfying.

lol is the guy who was flipping his shit probably because I was in the same room as him (quiet room for people w/ disabilities to write their exams) here? He became SO irrate after I sat down. Sorry bub, was just mindin my own business

this was on Monday

I hated university so goddamn much

I'm now almost 25 and been NEET for about a year and a half, two and a half in a way, because my degree is worth less than nothing and no one wants to hire me for absolutely anything

I may have to go back and the thought kills me, I can't handle the isolation again

Now there's a fucking thought, university was more isolating to me than being literally alone constantly

>have to come up with a thesis topic

It doesn't matter that nobody will care if I'm gay, it's the fact that I have a pretty significant fear that once I come out people will act differently around me (e.g. Chad will quit playfully sitting on my lap when he goes to sit down next to me or headbutting me if he goes to pick something up that's near me or I'll be left out of conversations or people will quit saying "that's gay" or making gay jokes around me, etc.)

And in those some hour-long intervals of relief there's a 50/50 chance that I'm either asking myself why I bother when my future prospects are such shit or listening to music/watching a movie/sleeping to distract myself from the thought.

I thought GPAs reset after transferring to a school.

I went from a CC with a 3.4 to CSULB. I got a 4.0 the first semester and I just barely noticed saw the official transcripts instead of grades on the online portal.

All it did was cause it to go up to a 3.44. I'm gonna get absolutely hammered when I try applying to grad schools, holy fuck.

I fucking advisor won't return my emails and she won't pick up the phone when I call

gonna give it one more shot to get in contact tomorrow or I'm just going to go straight to he office

Okay so here's the deal

I have until Thursday afternoon to learn the following for Calc 2. I have done no homework nor have I gone to lecture in months.

All of polar and parametrics, a bit of diff eqs, all of series, all of intro to vector calc, and all of fluid applications

Is this doable if I have literally no knowledge of those chapters

Good luck m8 not sure about your uni but at mine calc 2 is considered a weedout class, literally half my second year cs class including me either had to drop out or change majors due to it.

It's midterm season, senpai

>>35558595
If you want to learn ultra-baby math properly:

Read George Simmon's "Precalc in a Nutshell," and do the problems from there, along with Gelfand's "Algebra" and his other books.

The gelfand books in particular have very good problems that can get tough, but they start off easy, and they're fast reads, too.

I'm convinced that if a high schooler went through these, they could get an easy 800 in SAT Math.

>>35558678
Also, all those books are on gen.lib.rus.rc so they're easily accessible

Don't feel bad I literally can't even attract ugly black girls who allegedly have the lowest response rate on dating sites I genuinely considered ending it after that

I'm at a private party school even though I hate partying and can't relate to anyone because my parents thought it was a good school. Turns out it's pretty terrible for CS, not even ranked on most lists. The local commuter school here is better for CS. So I have almost no friends and pay a bunch of money to go to a school that's good at a couple things that aren't CS.

Also for reasons relating to the social scene here, I think I maybe wouldn't be a khv if I went somewhere else. It seems like the only way to meet girls here is to be in a frat or to be in a non-engineering major. Also everyone is chad here. Maybe if I went to a less chad school I'd have more self-confidence, right now it's abysmal because literally everyone here is ripped so why even bother with girls. I can't even bring myself to TRY go to a party (I probably wouldn't get in) because I'd just look so fucking geeky compared to everyone else and wouldn't be able to hold a conversation with the turbo-normies there.

I've missed the deadline to transfer to most schools because I'm indecisive as fuck. I could still apply to the generally shittier state school which has a better CS program, and that's about it. Also my gpa would reset and I'd probably end up with a shittier one than what I have now by graduation.
So not holding up well I guess. At least it's only a small portion of my life.

I'm convinced that the professors at my school are all in on some kind of money scheme because I do a million times better at self study. I've started dreading classes that require attendance now because I know that's time I could use to read the book/material and study on my own that I'll never get back.

Thanks boob anon, I'll be sure to cough at Stacies tomorrow too.

Is anyone else graduating feeling like they have learned nothing useful and it was mostly a waste of time and money?

I have just earned my Iron Ring but I feel like I don't deserve it. I am not proud of this accomplishment.

I feel like I'm at the point where I've found out that I've just stumbled through my CS classes and my degree is going to be useless.
I'm struggling so much with my 400s that I can't even cope. I'm in 20 credits and I want to just disappear.
If I fail anything I'm back for another semester at this god forsaken school, I understand this, yet here I am on 4chan of all places.
Had the day off from work today, what did I do? Watched Youtube.

What is fucking wrong with me. I'm the one fucking my own shit up yet I am unable to stop it.

>>35558974
Straight Bs one quarter won't fucking kill you

If you have above a 3.2, you're good to go for most aside from the top ten programs. Even then, it's all about major GPA and research, so if those are solid, you're good to go. My friend got into Brown with a 2.9.

>>35558946
Will? That you?

Some girl was talking about how after watching a show on netflix she wanted to marry a drug lord.

She was disturbed by it but another girl wanted to know more about a particular video I described, that was nice.
