only getting lower

3.9
But that's only because I am a history major. If you just turn in the assignments that's basically an automatic A. My only b's were in calculus and chemistry.

I graduated high school just before my 17th birthday. My parents told me to choose International Relations so I could go to law school. I said "ok" because I was planning to kill myself when I turned 20. Now I'm almost 21 and I'm on the verge of accidentally graduating.

Help.

Depending on your degree, grades matter a fucking lot for your first job. Experience is more important, and obviously having the degree is important, but don't slack off on grades.

But be aware grades matter for your FIRST job, after that your college transcript means jack shit if you just have the degree and 5 years or whatever in the field.

>>35679295
I heard finance is easier than accounting. Also you must get your cpa to make money which is an extra 2 years. Finance has higher potential in some ways than accounting. I do know an accountant who makes 400k a year running his own tax firm. For me it was med vs engineering Vs business. Accountants also have highest suicide rate so don't go for money. Finance can be fun and higher paying.

>>35679359
Its all about the work experience and internships and being unique. GPA is a close second with interview skills being in the GPA tier.

there's no social fear and sadness greater than being a cyborg/proto-normie. imagine being tantalized by the prospect of finally being a normie and finally being accepted by those around you. you have tiny flashes and glimpses of what you could be, but each one eventually disappears, bringing you closer to becoming a full robot. Imagine sisyphus pushing the boulder to the top of the hill only to have it continually fall back down. That's what cyborg life is like. A life of perennial blue balls and robot sadness intertwined with fleeting aspects of normie life, normie memories and experiences that are as short and temporary as they are beautiful. "it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" is so profoundly asinine, full robots can never experience or imagine the pain of being so close, yet so far from normalcy.

you dont learn anything you couldnt learn on your own

the major is oversaturated because
>le 150k starting xd tons of jobs xd

you need tons of certs and technical practical knowledge that only fucking loser neets on /g/ have to get any good internships/jobs

the major is filled with smelly dark indians and other assorted brown SEA hordes of small dicked narcissitic beta males and autistic whitebois

if you dont have the exact right personality type for it youll want to kill yourself

Assuming I get my engineering and ChemLab grades to a B, I will have a 3.9 by the end of the year. First semester really saved my butt.

I'm going to take Physics classes over the summer and learn how to drive so that sucks

As an addendum:

If you are considering CompSci, just don't.

Unless you browse /g/ daily and already program as a hobby at least once a week and have an active github account, just don't fucking do it.

>>35679845

From the 7 months I've been applying to 200+ jobs, I've come to find that the industry is very mature and wants experienced employees (minimum 2-3 years work experience).

If they happen to want to give you a shot with no experience, they almost always ask for your transcript then proceed to ignore you if you have a gpa below a 3.0. Oh and personal projects are incredibly important, if you have no personal projects to speak of, no one will care to hire you.

From everyone I've talked to, getting a degree in EE is the BARE minimum anyone can do to qualify for a job in the field.

I'm sure you can get a job with a degree alone, but you have shitloads of new grads competing with you for essentially every job posting available. You have to make yourself standout somehow and you do that with a high gpa/personal projects.

also if your uni has a tutoring center or something go there. i worked at one and ive helped hundreds of people who probably think theyre stupid but usually just didnt get one part which is why they didnt understand the whole

Letting you know right now, even if you got straight As in school, you most likely will have no clue how to apply those theories in the workplace. Getting a shit/good mark on a test is hardly indicative of how well you know how to use those theories practically.

You will learn to do those problems once you start exposing yourself to projects/work that requires you to solve those types of problems.

Also it is filled to the brim with autistics and weirdos. The few girls in it are fat and dont wash their hair but will have 15 orbiters.

>>35679884
pretty much this also. You can bullshit through it by just pretending to be friends with the autstic manlets who will cling to any bit of friendship and will help you with hw. Once you graduate nothing you learned in CS is really useful in the workplace besides the basics so it doesnt matter.

BTW how often do places actaully check your transcript because everyone tells me never and i have a shitty 2.6 GPA (will prob get better).

>>35681517
I'm not about the med life, wanna do research or industrial work. Good luck though!

>>35682716

I think it would be better if wasn't so bad at it. At my level it's just following orders from superior doctors (but you have to know stuff to not seem like an idiot) and studying. But that's something hard to do when you are a procrastinating, self-sabotaging, coward faggot.

yeah be real with yourself if you're just going to dick around more go to sleep.

I think you should finish your work if you can though, and just go to sleep as soon as class is over. get an energy drink if you need it before class.

driving while tired is dangerous though. I read it's as bad as being drunk. take the bus or something if you can. please be safe anon <3

how much debt are you in? Do you feel like its worth all the effort your putting in?

Are there any job opportunities for CS graduates that aren't programming / software engineering?

I'm starting to realise I may have got an absolutely useless degree.

>>35682853

Debt?. None, my family helps me with the bills. That's what hurts the most, my academic life should be a piece of cake: not even interested in getting friends and a girlfriend to lose time with, i don't have to work, i don't have a stressful life at home (my family have their problems, but they all help me a lot), i eat what i want to eat. And i'm letting these oportunities to slip through my fingers, and for what?. For playing stupid videogames (i don't even want to confess what videogame i'm obsessed with) and for being shitposting here ("just one minute more", then that minute turned into an hour, then into three fucking days).

Does it worth the effort?. I really hope so. I can't drop out, i would be the only one in my family without a degree, and i can't do anything else (i'm not from USA, and the only thing i was good at school was english, and that was because of video games). I always told myself that i wanted to be a doctor, but so far it seems that i'm not good at it. And i consider myself too old to start in another field. I have to become a good doctor, there's no turning back for me.

Do you actually want to be a doctor or is it just the money? Because maybe you'd be happier doing something else.

>>35683137

I wanted to be a doctor not only for the money, but to get respect too, to stop being the friendless useless weirdo that i am since almost all my life (only at early elementary school i had friends). My only real interest in life are videogames and computing, i'm not even good at any of those, and those things don't give you a good job and a happy normie life.

Turn into a NEET or a wageslave would only make things worse. I would literally have no future. Right now, i have a chance to unJUST my shit up.

are you a fembot?

origo

American Studies with Mandarin and Business Admin minor

3.03 right now and I hate that because I know if I don't get it up to a 3.5 at least when I graduate I'll be even more useless than a normal liberal arts major.

At least one thing people keep telling me is that I'm bad at memorizing and regurgitating information but my critical thinking skills are top notch. Most professors give me 10/10's on the rubric when discussing the thought I put into a paper, along with my use of sources.

This one cunt took off 10 points on my midterm essay though because I didn't put the
Anon
Classname
Projectname
Professor
thing at the top despite me putting my name and all that information in the header. I'm actually really pissed about that.

STILL haven't started my dissertation or presentation

FUCK

I want kill myself m8s, 3.2 and only dropping lower and lower. Too much autism to apply to jobs online so I'm stuck working shitty manual labor job all summer, lie to my parents that "oh they havnt responded, yeah I called em" just because I'm afraid of actually getting the job and having to do it. Dropping a class this semester so that's gonna fuck some things up but at least it'll make the rest of this semester easier. All I want is summer bots, somebody put me in a coma for the next 7 weeks.

>first semester literally within the first week i had been accepted into a friend group but then a couple months later i just stopped hanging out with them and answering their calls because i got super paranoid and schizo and thought they secretly hated me even though i had no reason to think that and i stole a few dvds from them because i was too autistic to go return them and see them face to face
This was me in HS and this is why I never made nay friends in uni.

What I learnt in uni is that everyone pretends to be your friend when you talk to them nicely and then they ask you for favors or to "teach" them becasue everyone calls you a "genius" because you developed that one thing and then they swear at you when you tell them no.

I turned in a short story for my creative writing class a while ago and I recently got some really positive feedback from my prof. Normally, I would attribute it to the teacher just being nice but this guy is legit. He doesn't bullshit and he'll pretty much tell you what you fucked up on during discussions. It was a nice surprise and I'm feeling motivated to write more.

I love reading these threads. Thank god I'm out and done with my degree. Fuck university. I dont miss it one bit.

This is what I get for going out of my house. I used to be happy and crush-free.

How do you make friends? I still only talk to (text/skype) people from high school, none of which go to my uni.

>Also post GPA
I was maintaining a 3.4 GPA then Statics & Dynamics trashed it down to 2.6 or something like that. I heard it's the great filter so maybe I'll no longer have the urge to cry.

But I cannot get exposed to the work that requires these problems since I'm still a freshman.

I couldn't do it edition.
Well, I done fucked up now. Started September with a heart full of dread and a drug habit. Managed to pass the fall semester with a C- average somehow, but it was eating my brain. It was like ball torture for my mind. I finally broke down last week after coming back from spring break at home. Skipped all my classes and stayed in my room for 4 days before going to the dean and asking her to convince me not to drop out. She suggested taking a leave of absence and by the end of the day I was back home. Don't know where to go from here. I can come back in the fall or next spring, but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to handle that place.

>>35681943
whatever you enjoy

seriously, its the only shot of being successful

doing a cs degree

for our 4th year we use the second semester to work on a project, the deadline for uploading the program and documentation is next week and i've done almost nothing in terms of programming

i have to meet weekly with a lecturer who acts as the supervisor for the project, tomorrow is when i meet her next and she'll expect me to show her the working program, does anyone know a good excuse i could use here? i was thinking of saying i did a lot of the work then my hard drive broke so i had to start from scratch

i have no idea what to do, i'm kind of shitting myself, i think i might be able to pull off barely a pass in just this week alone but i still need to show/say something tomorrow

i've been feeling sick for weeks now, i have no idea why i do this to myself ;_;

>>35690133
guys pls i need an excuse

i was thinking of telling the truth

if you submit late then you lose 10% of your mark for each week you're late by, i was thinking i could ask if she thinks its a good idea i just submit late but idk that will sound stupid

>>35680140
God I know that feel too well friend. Hang in there

>>35678502
Boy if you didn't want to flip burgers maybe you should've tried. At this point if you're a junior or senior, you need to fucking kill that ACT/SAT, which if you give it enough practice is easily possible. If you're a freshman/sophomore, just try in class and you will get A's / B's. At my high school they offered a shit ton of retakes and extra credit if you kissed enough ass. I believe in you Anon.

It feels like there's no easy way out anymore. I go to a top tier school for EE, but it doesn't matter because my GPA is shit anyway. My only hope is to get experience through a co op to offset my GPA. If that doesn't work out I'm as good as fucked.

what college do you go to that you don't get swamped with readings as history major? Also getting automatic A's on essays doesn't seem right. also most of the grade in my history courses is the final. I mean 3.2 isn't hard to average but 3.9 seems excessive

>>35692471
well there was a couple classes where I had to read a few books and write a 25 page paper but I think I got lucky by choosing to concentrate in public history, which focuses on history outside of the classroom. So basically I write reports about museum exhibits and what could be done to make them more interesting to the public. So not so much reading anymore.

>>35680520

despite the memes math is a mostly conceptual subject, so it's less about IQ and more about how much time you have to do the same problems over and over.

anybody can do math with the appropriate amount of effort.
