My degree goes into personal projects and continued learning. I also landed in (or rather, was pulled into) a regional manager position recently, so we'll see how that goes. I plan on going into engineering eventually, but the bastards in my area all wanted absurd amounts of experience for the "entry-level" jobs. From the contacts I made from the job search, I now know it's because they want to under-staff on purpose and cut corners by working engineers to the bone and making them coordinate employees instead of putting proper supervisors on the payroll.

I do hope that's just a local custom and not the whole picture with engineering, though. The job I have now is terribly busy, and living in a low-cost area, it's far more money than I know what to do with anymore.

>>9168945

I didn't actually apply for life insurance sales. They pulled me aside and said they were looking for someone who could perform, so I took it. It was my third month looking for jobs, and no matter how you slice it, working somewhere definitely looks better to an employer than being a NEET for any sizable length of time. From what I've learned from industry contacts, GPA really only matters to the people who don't know what you'll be doing. They just lack a better metric with which to judge you, and if they're interested, savvy employers will often ask you about your GPA just to wind up requesting your transcript so they can gauge your honesty with them. Because the honesty definitely matters when you're the one fiddling with their products and production lines.

>>9168961
To be honest, the peers here aren't the most skilled people I've met, and the pay would be shit if they weren't paying by commissions. I've gotten paid in direct proportion to how much I sell, and while the expected success rate is around 20% for an insurance sale, I net closer to 50%. Agents definitely do live on that 20%, so I've gotten myself a decent deal while also earning the gift of gab.

>>Degrees don't mean shit when every idiot with money is able to get one.

>>9169096
Literally how
At UCLA, you are LITERALLY guaranteed internships if you have above a 3.0 in engineering
It's absolute easy mode. I refuse to believe this. Recruiters will beg for you just because you went to LA. You are walking gods.

Try going to UCR where even with an actual 4.0, a good portfolio, and research, you have to look out of state for internships, just because of that big ol' stinky "Riverside" on your resume, which causes everyone in OC and the LA area to immediately bin your application. I eventually found one in fucking Atlanta.

I'm seriously in disbelief. School rank is THE MOST important factor when it comes to finding an internship. I only wish I knew this 3 years ago, where I fell for the "undergrad doesn't matter" meme, and got tempted by UCR's financial aid. I could have gone to UCSD and been treated as a normal student during my searching, instead of a subhuman.

I never stopped studying, i actually study alot more since i dropped out and im not constantly smoking weed and getting fucked up 5 nights a week.
right now im going through baby logic and will continue up until i understand modal. Im going to learn basic set theory, probability theory, inferential statistics, and get to calculus before going back to a four year college. My plan is to finish my undergraduate degree in 2 years. Depending on my prospects, if they dont look great i will probably go to a meme college like evergreen state, ES would allow me to get credit fast and the professors and facilities are very underutilized so its a great place to get some good experience in the field I plan on going into (ecology). The actual degree is toliet paper as far as im concerned, i just need facilities to get research experience in and a path to get me to the GREs, those things are what will get me into a prestigious post-graduate program. Evergreen is also a fit for me because its location, great outdoor life and a ton of nature weirdos and any drug i want to keep me company, its relatively cheap. Evergreen also has a significant population of serious anarchists in and around the school, although more and more liberal trustafarians flood in every year and kinda ruin it.

How can a 92%, a 94% and a 100% get all 4.0 gpa? American degrees are easy as fuck

>>9170309
at competitive universities, a 90-94.99% gives you a 3.30 gpa. A 95%+ gets you the 4.0

>>9170315

So 95% and 100% both get 4.0? Easy as fuck

>>9170318
no in order to get a 4.0 you need to get a 95%, write a 35 page research paper on the subjects taught in class, get a 100% on the final, design a car to be used in the german grand prix, win the nobel prize in physics and drink edge shaving cream without a trip to the hospital. AFTER all of that you have to petition the department to give you a 4.0 in the class but keep in mind that theres only a >.05% success rate there

I am. I've only taken tuition fee loans, not maintenance loans, and due to being an orphan poorfag that's only £3k per year (rest covered by bursaries etc.). As such, I'll probably repay it pretty soon after graduating.

It's a complete assfuck if you ever intend to repay it, the interest rate depends on your income but goes from RPI + 1% to RPI + 3% (off the top of my head, could be slightly wrong), and while you're studying it's the highest rate (RPI+3%). This means at worst you're paying something stupid like 6-7% interest which is insane on a £27k-40k loan.

If you never intend to pay it back fully the monthly repayments aren't too punishing but with the interest you'll never rid yourself of it with those alone.

If I've misunderstood something about this system please tell me because it seems horrible.

>>9170331
You think that's hard? Here in India you need a 100% in the class or you'll be dropped - this includes upper division stem courses where the pass rate is 5-10%. The hardest part of all, though, is the final exam in which the professor asks you where is the right place to shit: in the home on a toilet or on a public street? Less than 0.5% pass rate.

The monthly repayments required from you aren't very high, if I recall correctly. And if you make a small enough salary they don't require any repayment. As such, if your income isn't very high, you can pay back a small amount/not at all every month but if you have a sizable loan it's not gonna go away with small repayments because of the large interest.

It's ass backwards and I hate it.

>>9170469
Oh and I forgot to add, after a certain time period (something like 30-40 years) they wipe the loan. But to benefit from that (in the sense that you've repaid less than the amount of the original loan) you'll have to have a very low salary for most of that time.

I'm kind of going off the top of my head here, you should look at the official gov sites if you want more accurate info.

>>9170474
This is the UK we're talking about, not USA. And personally my loans aren't too big so I can pay them off probably within a year of graduation. However, the situation is shittier for people with larger loans.

But yes, I'm not from here originally so I have wondered about just fucking off.

>>9170479
Tories say it's not really debt because the interest is higher than in any sensible student loan to the point where most people will never pay it back entirely. It's stupid and I don't like it, but your funeral.

>>9170484
No one in the UK should be put off from going to uni because of the debt, like you mentioned, it's just a sticker price that no one will pay (plus they won't chase you if you move abroad and dissappear).

The goverment is supposed to be reducing the interest on the loans though which is a positive move.

>>9170492
I don't really mind the loans themselves and the repayment plans seem quite OK, they're not gonna drive anyone to poverty.

I think they did say they were going to try and chase people who moved abroad and disappeared, but I'm not sure how serious they were and how well they can realistically do that.

The big issue I have with them is that the interest is ridiculous. If they reduce those enough, I'll be just fine with the loan system.

However, if your loans are such that you're telling people they're OK because "nobody will be able to pay them off anyway" or "you can just disappear abroad" then something is wrong and make no mistake.

I like it, but to be honest academic life seems easier in Brazil than internationally. Grad students in my department all have guaranteed funding, and doctors are relatively hard to find here, so it's also almost guaranteed you'll become professor in a relatively high paying institution.
But of course, it's Brazil, so you risk getting stabbed/shot everyday.

I think they were trying to kick the can down the road by jacking up the fees, the Tories were trying to save money and incresing fees looked like a good idea at the time to try and balance the books.

The irony is that they knew that less people would repay with the new system when they introduced it. the debt will probably end up getting sold to the private sector.

Isn't this the reason people don't give a damn? Non-graduates don't have to pay tax, and most grads that took loans "skate by" since they don't pay most of it back. They essentially pay tax for 9% and the govt is never repaid in full.

This system sure as hell better than private bank loans, though, no contest. It might not be "free" like in Europe, but it's a far cry from the American system.

what's med like? is it difficult? are there a lot of contact hours? my physics/math friends shit on it but it's probably just classic elitism

What is an "RA"? Is that an abbreviation for research assistant? I am looking for ways to pay off loans but still work on research at the same time.

I'm at Gray Nun's every day for 6 hours.

GPA is 4.2

you can do it too fucker. <3

>>9171067
>4.2
what

>>9171063
i had two during undergrad
one i got because i had a really good PSAT score in high school so the College Board was like "hey, you're a national scholar now or whatever" and my undergrad was like "well we're going to waive all your tuition and fees because of that"
if i hadn't been awarded that recognition though my undergrad still had an automatic full-tuition scholarship for all people entering with a GPA and SATs above a certain threshold so i would have gotten that instead
then my state (Florida; best state) has a state-wide scholarship for public universities awarded based on your GPA and SATs, which was basically free money since i didn't have any fees to begin with

this is the case at most public state universities, lad
i got accepted to plenty of great private schools and out-of-state public schools that i had to reject because i would have ended up taking 5-figure loans out yearly and that's just not worth it

>>9170800
>i hate bankers and insurance companies grrr
>u-until i need some money or have an insurance claim to file...
right

>>9169276
uh? unless you're at a notoriously hard-grading engineering school like GTech i don't understand why any reasonable, studious student would have below a 3.5 in any stem field

>>9171078
you must have gotten accepted at some shit-tier private schools then. My Ivy League school was cheaper than my state school

>>9169259
What are the go to School ranking systems that employers go to? US News or QS? What is the cut off for not being "stinky"? I see on US News its ranked 127 nationwide which doesn't seem too terrible...

>>9171083
well i didn't apply to any ivies
i was planning on going to GTech but it was way too expensive as an out-of-state student
forgot where else i applied; not like it matters at the end of the day since it's just undergrad

>>9169308
Yeah it is pretty good.

Physics department is great. In second year we do biweekly mathematica modelling labs.

There are lots of research opportunities if you are good enough.

how do you even get a 2.5 gpa lmao

getting Cs in every major related class and pulling Bs in all your blow off classes?

Thanks

Secret to getting high GPA?

>>9171166
i really don't know, honestly
what's even more dumbfounding is the student you run into every once in a while that DOESN'T have bright futures
i seriously question whether or not they're just a puppet being radio-controlled by a colony of ants

Lol'd hard at the nigger scholarship. But that's a really good engineering school anon, nice.

>>9171296
not sure i could have made it into one of those top echelon schools for undergrad. i had a pretty decent resume but i hated doing extracurricular shit and volunteer work and i'm not a savant or anywhere near that intelligence level. i got rejected from caltech so my chances wouldn't have been realistic

i got into uchicago for grad school and now i'm at the perfect grad school for what i want to study and that's really all that i wanted to get out of undergrad

it's fun. most of the concepts are not that difficult but there are lots of contact hours.

You have to want to see patients, but there are heaps of things to do on the side. People in my class do basic science research in immunology, microbiology etc, others do more technical work in surgery/radiology or comp. sci/ data projects. I think the course is a really good preparation to work across lots of different areas.

I've only been working a couple months but how do I make the jump from low 100k to mid 100k-200k?

>>9170659
The joke is that 9% of your income is probably a lot, so most people will end up paying the original amount and quite a bit of interest over 30 years (think 9% of ~30k a year for 30 years). But because the interest is so high they'll still have debt left over.

A 9% graduate tax is extremely punishing. and the whole system is draconian. The Government WILL get what they gave you and much more besides, but you will likely never be debt-free.

ChemEng IS a garbage degree.

>>9167264
lol fucking idiot thinks university and gpa is important... university is just an ignorant human plantation center that makes you memorize for exams. most humans dont open the book A SINGLE TIME after exam. most humans dont care about science in this system. people dont know any fucking thing after they graduate because they are in the worst system in the universe. bunch of idiot inferior humans are taken into places they dont care. they are forced to memorize and then forget.

I recently started thinking I might try to go here. I'd have to figure out a way to sneak in through community college or something because I have poor academic history. I didn't know much about A&M before but I hear it's actually got a pretty decent reputation and I saw on WSO forums someone saying it's a semi-target. Only reason I'm considering trying this is because I'm becoming more and more fascinated by quantitative algorithmic trading (please no bully) but this is impossible to break into unless you have the right degree from a reputable university. Do you know if there is much recruiting for this at A&M? If so, is it mostly from energy trading firms in Houston?
