I want to be a philosopher or a novelist, probably won't achieve either and will just do them as hobbies tho
android developer.
Truck driver
uuuh he said an actual job
Truck drivers have good wages
jurist
Professional painter
If I didn’t throw my life away with a stupid Spanish major in college and becoming an alcoholic, I’d be a meteorologist. I don’t care if I became an on-tv weatherman, I fucking love that stuff.
As do astronauts .D
Go for it
Right now do it
You won’t pussy

I want to be an astronomer so I can have my names in the history books when I discover a planet with life on it
Sounds comfy

Is going to university to do a foreign language a waste?
Thoughts on go, Java and c++
Me too, am working towards this. Do you want to drive long-haul? Will you get to drive in Russia?
academic or monk
>Do you want to drive long-haul? Will you get to drive in Russia?
Yes and don't know yet
I have to take the exam with a small truck first
Cosmologist or an archeologist
A camera operator
Did you go to school for training? I'm trying to get funding for a good private truck driving school, as I don't want to do one of the company training programs. I'm sure all this works differently in Best Europe.
none.
i want to be a rich neet that sspend his days fucking prostitutes and manipulating local politicians to do my bidding
You go to a truck driving school and get a EU CE class license. They don't ride into Russia much, they drive around Scandinavia and Western Europe.
i hope to work fulltime in the interracial breeding grounds
Do you worry about autonomous trucks taking over the industry?
lover of a lonely, middle-aged, millionaire woman
i want to get a job in embedded systems, but nobody has written back yet after I applied
I hate working, I want to be a neet.
Do they even have neetbux in third world countries?
technically yes but you wouldn't be able to survive on it
why embedded systems lad? do you have any experience in such?
How much does it pay and how much is the cost of living? Just a general overview please. I know people here can and do survive on bux, but it definitely isn't any kind of dignified life unless they are also being helped by family. Canada is certainly not Scandinavia, but I'm assuming that we have better bennies than Poland.
I'm entering 4th year of computer engineering, and I want to work before I finish my degree, because if I can't find a job straight out of uni I'm SOL and have to move back with my parents. I have a 67% GPA and very little work experience, so I'm swimming upstream right now
I know C, ASM, and VHDL, so hardware design and low level design are my niche. Im working on some personal projects to show off to employers, but if none of them even invite me to an interview, then they're not much use I guess
I'm a tradie and I'm gonna ride it out till the end
learn some object oriented concepts with c++, try to get involved in some open source projects, and apply for internship in every freaking place you know. also, stay in school until you get though couple of internships under your belt
professional dabber
I don't know exactly but I believe it's around 600pln(~150 usd), this wouldn't even cover a rent for a room in a bigger city not to say about bills or food
yeah, I really don't want to finish uni without any work experience under my belt. I'm applying for everything that comes up, mainly at Blackberry and Ciena
I'm working on personal stuff, I got a 8-bit FM synthesizer made in VHDL with an effects module done, and I'm trying to think of stuff I can do in C. Was planning on picking up a cheap arduino, but I'm not quite sure what I can do with it yet
oh, to add on, I've done OOP stuff in Java and androidstudio for courses, I'm just more into lower level procedural stuff. I still include it as experience when I apply, though
build an sdr if you want something challenging
you could do with an fpga or an Arduino. but make sure you learn oops, get familiar with git, cmake, Google test, python. embedded engineering is not a one man show, you will be working in a team environment. so learn things like agile as well
Java is good, but in the embedded realm it's mostly c++
Is it common to not have any dreams or aspirations? I can't think of a dream job
We're not hiring you, shut the fuck up
I just want enough passive income to let me attempt turning my many hobbies into professions, without worrying about the bills.
interesting, I know C and ASM way more than Java, so I guess I'll start learning C++ too.
I've worked a lot with FPGAs, namely Altera boards with Quartus, I actually built my synth on one. Built a MIPS datapath on one too, ran some microcode on it as well. Designing the memory module was really fun, I played around with bidirectional busses and algorithmic address loading, abusing how VHDL compiles is pretty enjoyable
gib job
>knows C, Assembly and circuits language
>barely an invite
ruh roh, what have I gotten myself into?
a stupid kid who has shit grades because of math courses and other fuckups
I get 80s and 90s in my computer engineering courses, but I failed Calc II and stats. So when they get my resume, I assume it gets straight trashed
Flexing with mild skill is hard to do when most jobs are just fill-out-your-info and attach your resume/transcript, and I don't get far enough to talk to a human bean
oh well, there's always sucking dick
Dont do it. I have the same degree and people think you're a computer science major. Getting a job was a nightmare so I just do electrical and P&C engineering now.
>people think you're a computer science major
this is somewhat true, they expect you to know algorithms and data structures if you're going to be programming
>P&C engineer
what does this stand for? I'm googling it, it seems to be transmission design
also, I'd expect Embedded Systems recruiters to differentiate, considering Comp. Eng is as close to embedded systems design as you'll get in an undergrad. Maybe I'm asking too much of human resources
Power and controls
ah cool, that might be interesting.. I'll start looking for internships asap
as long as I'm not doing javascript codemonkey work for 25 cents an hour for an outsourcing firm, I'd be glad to work for anybody at any price tb.h
warlord in africa
i want to be warlord of your mom's pussy
Right now I work in retail-sales management. Not bad, 43 hours a week and I make $55k
I will probably move to China in 10 years or so and open an American bar and grill
Man don't worry too much, you're in the 1% of people who actually how to read disassembled C. Nowadays with all the garbage frameworks floating around that's really impressive. Plus you don't have to stray far from your field of interest.
I freelance as a local computer repairman in a lower-middle class area and make 'okay' money while living with my fαm. People here are reluctant to buy new tech and there's always work. If you're willing to work on systems that might oftentimes smell like mold and laptops that often have a thin film of gunk on the keyboard, might not be a bad idea.
buddy, it's funny you say that because I'm really into older computers, namely 8 bit stuff like the C64, anything with an Intel 6502 really
I actually planned on making a VHDL design of the 6502 or 8086 datapath and processor, but it ended up being way, way too much work for a full time student
props to you though, I respect legit repairmen so much for the shit they put up with, especially with all the right-to-repair crap going on, at least in North America. What kind of computers you guys deal with most of the time, though? Vista-era gateways and the like?
Oh man where do I begin.
I've worked on ancient office units with half a gig of RAM. Fixed the tape reader of an old Atari. Replaced capacitors on old plasma TVs, fixed keyboards and so on...
One day I found twenty broken T61 thinkpads while returning from a job. They were thrown inside a container outside a flooded parking lot so I grabbed a few. Repaired most of them, put batteries in them and gave them as birthday gifts to relatives lol
I have many stories like that but yeah it's very intellectually stimulating for because I went down a rabbit hole of amazing knowledge(CPU caches, SRAM-DRAM-NVRAM, Von Neumann architecture, debugging, algos etc) These things are so fascinating to me
Researcher
Are you studying or doing something to be one fren?
sounds like a blast, that thinkpad score is amazing, sounds like a solid christmas for your family
if you're interested in hardware architecture, start learning some modelling languages like Verilog, VHDL, or System Verilog. I use Quartus, but I think Xilinx makes their own tools for writing and simulating designs. They're great for learning state machines and logic circuits, my last year I built a MIPS datapath with one, and it wasn't too complex once you get it. Learn about pipelining and control units if you already don't, I found it really interesting how it worked, and how the processor pre-fetches jump or branch commands, executes memory access, etc. For basics though, just design some simple ALUs and registers, then chain them together and make it do some simple math for you.
When my preloaded program ran on the thing and loaded 4*4=16 at a specific address in a scratch-built memory array, it was by far the most satisfying thing I've ever done.
This conversation might be getting a bit too Jow Forums for Jow Forums, though
here's a great video series that explains the design, this guy basically did the exact same course I had, and I essentially just implemented what he describes

I want to be a chef
i have no idea. i just want decent wages with easy work and ample time to spend reading, listening to music, and with loved ones.
Is this synchronicity? Dude I started playing around with QTSpim and FASM yesterday and didn't know where to look for MIPS material.
you're a gem, thank you so much
no problem, enjoy
let me find something you might like, I drew some hardware diagrams for my processor that may be of interest. I have a second one for a fully pipelined circuit, I'll try and find it
couldn't find the pipelined diagram, but here's some scant course notes that might be of some help to you
I'll dump the rest if you'd like
here, considering you like synchronicity, this might help you big time, it's about control signal flow control and delay
laser/quantum optics scientist working in industry or govt lab on research or RnD type shit, starting grad school for it next year. Long term I would probably be better off financially just getting an MS and working as an optical engineer, but Id rather work on the cool shit and probably need a PhD to do so. I should be well off either way though
this would be my job if i never went to college, unironically seems comfy as fuck
all i got rn, i have some other miscellanous stuff for synthesizers if you're interested.
If you'd like the full textbook for the course, it's called Computer Organization and Design, 5th Ed. by David A. Patterson. There's a pdf of it out there, but I don't have a link on me
Consultant, which might enable me to travel a lot, which I like.
Fighter pilot is the best job ever
>VHDL
god i hated that shit in my digital logic class, the old fuck professor barely taught us about it and expected us to write code for it on paper exam
I don't really want to have a job.
I want to make enough money in my 20s and 30s so that I can buy a boat and spend my time as a jazz pianist. I want to live in my boat and play music, every once in a while I will change cities and play to new people in new interesting places. I could work as uni professor or a music teacher every other year or another, since I am getting the qualifications to do so, but I don't it to be in a single place forever and have a profession attached to my name, I don't want people recognizing me in the local supermarket. I want to play my music and sail to another place, until eventually I fade away. I could end my life when I have no money left.
Working on it, bros. Go after your dreams.
Pilot but nope. Never gonna get it
As a child I wanted to be an explorer or a military commander. Now that I've grown up I have found out that the era of sabre-wielding officers charging head-first into enemy fire ended long before I was born much like the age of trailblazing adventurers. I'm a NEET who has no idea what to do with his life and will probably commit soucide in the near future.
I dont want to do anything but still have plenty of money to buy whatever i want
Its like i skipped a free day when i was an infant and i need it back
I want to unhinge myself of the social construct called time and just exist as my true self
that sucks, I had a younger levantine guy that had actual enthusiasm, and was really good at teaching it. Once you get a hang of how it actually works and compiles (concurrent assignments, clock iterations, behavioral function calls etc) it's really easy to use, it's essentially just a tool.
That said, the labs were way ahead of the course, so i had to grind and learn the material ahead of time to do the lab. Also, at my school, Electrical Eng. students learn C while Computer Eng. students learn Python, so basically they expected you to know C when nobody taught you shit. I had to scramble with my bare knowledge of ASM to try and dissect the sample code I had to use in my design. Didn't end too well the first few times.
Simmilar situation, when i was a child, i wanted to be a catapult operator in the army but i knew that job doesnt exist anymore
I wanted to be an astronaut too I wanna float around and see space and go to other planets.
I want to draw porn or a burglar.
sorry for the late reply, its late here
Hmm didn't know about quartus, I have a basic version of logicworks so I might switch
and the book you mentioned, just found it in that russian book site (i'm sure you know which one heh)
This is amazing stuff. You've motivated me to learn more so I can properly understand what you've designed. Thank you again!
yep, I know the one, that's why I haven't bought a textbook in four years.
I also have some notes for Operating Systems design and processes in the same vein, if you'd like
fuck it, I'll dump it anyways in case the thread dies or I'm not here to dump for you, it may be interesting for you or someone else
i always wanted to become a general in napoleonic times
