Britfag here. My third semester starts on the 7th, and all i have to do are exams. Im personally done with uni by early june.

I asked in the last thread and didnt get much of a reply, so i guess i'll ask again - Does anyone have any idea what kind of jobs you can get with a CS degree that aren't programming / software engineering?

Im too far into my degree to change what im doing, but i absolutely hate programming. Just wondering how useless my degree will be for me.

I have a group chat in my moonspeak class today. It counts as 10% of my grade

You Americans still have school? We're done up here in Canada, at least my school is. Meh, I dropped out this semester anyways, waste of money and time.

Why do people take notes?
I've noticed kids will frantically write everything that's in the lecture power point including the most irrelevant details that the teacher will explicitly say not to copy. The power points get posted to the internet too, so they can be revisited at any time. Perhaps there are a rare few exceptions that take great, relevant notes but whenever doing some type of group work I notice that everyone's "notes" are useless. If given a simple conceptual question, they'll flip between all their pages of notes as if the answer is somewhere in there.
Wouldn't it be better if they simply listened to the lecture?
Wouldn't it be better if they used their brains instead of their notebooks to answer questions.
Mind you, many of these note-takers are smart people, I think they are limiting themselves with their relatively useless note-taking.
Are they trying to fool professors into thinking they're studious? It doesn't work when they submit a barely literate paper loaded with jargon from their notes.

In my circle of friends at uni im the only one who takes notes. I feel that writing the content down as youre being told it solidifies it in my memory. If im just sitting and listening then my mind can wander more easily. By taking notes im always engaging with the content of the lecture.

Idk some classes you just need it for, the majority you don't though

Plus it helps a ton if you're just gonna reuse your notes for an essay

>>36617753
Some people are just doing it because everyone else is, personally I find writing things down as they're said helps me remember things in certain classes

Do you like talking to people? Maybe you can be a technical recruiter. Or you can do some sort of data anyaltics. What about programming so you hate?

OP here, my last final is May 22 and I'm american. Do other US uni's end earlier?

I don't get uni.
I'm only here to build a portfolio and pretend i'm doing something meaningful

In a professional environment I feel comfortable talking to people. I would've thought i'd need a statistics / maths degree to do data analytics though.

I'm not entirely sure why, but i just dislike programming on a fundamental level. The only anomaly is functional programming. I enjoy that - but nobody really uses languages like haskell.

I find it extremely frustrating to write in OO languages - and the idea of making games or apps sounds absolutely awful.

The only parts of CS that really interest me are the theoretical parts desu, but i cant imagine any jobs that involve that.

Where do you live when you have no friends?

Had an awful panic attack last night, then had one of the best dreams of my life. I wishI hadn't woken up.
