Uni itself wasn't a mistake but the major I chose definitely was because it turns out getting As in highschool doesn't change the fact I'm a brainlet.

No

It's been pretty fun and I've finally started talking to some hot girls in the past 2 weeks.

Not sure what to study. Can't do STEM because brainlet.
Uncle Sam pays for my tuition and I work for the rest. Have $3000 debt from freshman year but none after.

>>36512084

For me it was.

I fell for the "smart but lazy" meme. I figured if I could get by in high school without doing anything and if teachers and my parents had told me I was smart, then I must be smart. Nah, I'm a fucking brainlet. Should have learned a trade.

Liberal Arts university was a mistake

I did a criminology degree. All job opportunities with this degree are basically public service. Worst mistake since I don't like people.

If only I was intelligent enough for accounting/finance.

>>36512084
>entire male line of my family are tradesmen
>for some reason I'm in university
Why am I here?

What I mean is that I cannot study having all this normal people around me. I am proably brainy enough to succeed, but whats the point. Also debt.

>>36512084
Yes and no

I know now that what I really wanted was IT certificates

But I wouldn't know that if I didn't go to college. Kind of a catch 22. Plus I need the start up money to live on my own

No, college made me move out from my parents house to realize that both my parents and my sisters are a major influx of unhappiness in my life

>If only I was intelligent enough for accounting/finance.
You serious? accounting is easy as fuck, did you not have grades to enter, or were you memed into thinking it was hard?

>fell for the uni meme because good grades without effort made me feel like an overman and work was beneath me
>wasted 3 years of my life and failed my way to year 2
>uni was basically wasting time on commuting and sitting in classes feeling hollowed out and detached plus wasting parents money
>figured out at my pace of studying and presumed employment wage afterwards im better off working after all
>was a garbage man, unloaded trucks, worked in a factory, going to be a mailman this month if shit pans out
>23 and never going to have my uni years back
>all i got out of it was 3 years of crippling oneitis for a gril i never even made it into friend zone with
I'm not saying i want to die, but i'm mot saying i don't either

>>36512304
Have you completed either of those degrees? We're not talking about those bookkeeping classes you took bud

>>36512084
How does it feel like going to uni? Never went missed out on it. Seems great.

We'll see, right now i'm in the fence. Previously i was doing a fucking game design course at a small school but now i'm at a real uni not doing fucking game design. I suspect that the social connections made at uni are probably the most important thing, so i guess it depends if i can make friends or not

>>36512084
it was for me.
didnt do anything the whole day, got barely through the exams and did every thesis last minute so they couldnt even satisfy myself.

Anons now I'm in front of a choice of picking a major and I'm clueless
Im thinking either business or a language degree.anyone can offer insight?

>>36513086
Well if youre going there for getting a job, do business (if you think you can get good grades).
If youre going there for knowledge and interesting stuff, do language.

>>36512084
I agree.
t. anon with bachelor in physics

It was okay but I wish I could restart with the knowledge I have know. I would make the most of it. But that's life for you, isn't it.

im looking to study pharmacy in college later this year. any experiences?

didnt go to uni

im 19 year old Brit and all my peers are in university while i'm a wagecuck apprentice. sometimes i envy their easier life but i feel if i went to uni i would flunk out and become a depressed recluse. i probably dodged a bullet if anything

>>36513004
It depends on how autistic you are.

>>36513194

Also, because of increased competition (globalisation) it's either a russell-group university or nothing.

>>36512084
The first time yep.
>got into theoretical computer science
>got depressed because I'm too much of a brainlet
>drop out
The second time, no.
>Got into medschool
>It's easy peasy
>Living a comfy life

>dropped 3 classes this term

>>36513194
Wish I did the same, I spend all my time cooped up in my room jerking off.
Prior to uni I was doing a shit payed engineering apprenticeship that i managed to save 10,000, now i have nothing to my name and i'm worried i will waste my life working shit jobs.

>barely passing community college classes
>hoping to get into a respected university for computer science

I'm gonna be honest, I don't see it happening. What should be my next move?

2 years of higschool then straight in the navy doing IT stuff was what i did, making around 55,000$ a year doing it, Kind of happy that i chose that as i was originally going to go to uni

You know what you need to do.

I guess. 1 month into my physics degree and I stopped attending because I just wanted to lay in my bed watching anime all day

>>36512112
As this anon said, uni wasn't the mistake, my major was. Should have taken a gap yah to actually think about what I want to do rather than jump on the uni hype train because everyone is going

Agree, taking history college was a big mistake, i spended one years and a half without seeing anything related to history, i should have studied math and tried to join the army as officer, fuck this gay college thing.

>>36513406

Probably should have given it more thought than just doing the major 4 chan told you to do.

>>36512084

I'll find out when I start this summer.

50k sterling of debt at 6.1 percent better be worth it

>>36513653

So long as you don't take a practical-leaning course that involves some level of interaction. Big mistake.

>>36513732
Explain. What ist that?

>>36513732

My course teaches theory but it's mostly applied.There are often group practical sessions which I purposefully miss.

>>36513776
Was in reply to >>36513745

>>36513800
>>36513776
Cool but I will not fit in. Is it true that there are a lot of socialists/communists there?

>>36513832

I'm not involved in my student union, but we have a socialists society here. I don't know how active it is though.

I didn't go to college and I make 13.15/hr at a menial job. They'll pay the entire cost for me to go to 2 year college or vocational training.

Any suggestions of what I should get into to make a decent living? I was thinking about wind turbine repair.

Nope I'm taking three programs at once
I fucking love it the rush of the exams the meaning that it gives the knowledge I get
Fall for the stem meme better than staying at home wondering how you should kys
And whoever goes
>I like uni cuz hot grills xD
Fugg off normannn

>>36512084
uni is super fucking interesting if you chose the right subject, and I don't even have to spend a dime to study there.
however, group assignements are a mistake
I fucking hate them, having to work with incompetent people is worse than working alone.

>>36514039
THIS
Group assignments are the only thing that I fucking hate
Apart from that uni is amazing
Most classes I don't need to go to since the textbooks are so clear and complete the profs basically read it out
Besides I'm a leaf and unlike other "first world" countries we hot free education

>>36512084
It did give me 7 years of something to do (5 years studying + 2 years working). Then NEET life chose me and I don't know if my degree and work experience will ever be useful again.

I picked physics because it was sort of fun and I got the highest scores from tests most of the time in HS, not because 4chan told me to do so.

I felt pressured to continue my education by my family because of good academic results but I had 0 motivation coming from the inside.

If you go into a degree like accounting or engineering it's not a mistake since you'll be getting a guaranteed job, but if you get some shit liberal art degrees yes it's a mistake

No, my mistake was my choice of school.
