no, I will never be an engineer
I want to die, I hate myself so fucking much

unemployed. I have some IT experience, might try weaseling my way into a position. I’m not cut out for the office life, didn’t figure it out until it was too late to switch things around, should have stuck with my initial idea of studying geology, oh well, never too late to go back I guess.

Mechanical engineering
Yes
A bit. I could’ve been something else but also having a feeling of either way I’d have been regretting it.

Kinda like me, only instead of dropping out I changed my major to something else.
I will of course live the rest of my life wishing I had become an engineer though. It was my dream to do biomedical engineering and design medical devices

Nope, making bank

Working as a code monkey sure is boring. Even if you like programming, doing it every single day of your week on stuff you don't really care about is boring as fuck.
Programmers are mass hired and the work is shitty.

How much do you make a year? I heard an user living down there was making 45K which seems very low for a SE

What does a poli sci major actually do? For some reason I just imagine you all either go to law school or work for a campaign or something

Latter my friend. It's wayyyyy different than I expected since graduating

Do you make pretty good money doing that? Like, enough to buy a house one day?
I was dead set on being a lawyer and always wished I did poli sci but grew out of the lawyer dream eventually.

English major here. There are so many things you can do with an English major it's crazy. Most of them are just things most people don't think about. They automatically assume they have to write a book or work in editing/publishing, which is totally false.

>I think you are replying to a wrong post..
And I admit I am feeling envy when I see how leisurely my coworkers in accounting devision are spending in their life, or at least it seems they are enjoying their job scoffing at pathetic lies the board members of my company made while our jobs are inherently the same, which is nothing but dealing with(manipulating) figures.

Living the dream, my friend

What are you doing or what are the options?

>rah?
I absolutely hate this job, can't wait to get out and go back so school

It's enough to live. Right now I'm on a team for a local politician and I've got a decent place not too far from downtown. I haven't got too much student loans so there's no real burden in life. There is some instability to the job tho

I can't imagine myself buying a house ever and my friends who've majored in engineering, comp sci all said the same. And yeah I wanted to be a lawyer too but after talking to some professors it looked like a desk job on the downtime and I'm not down with that

So, what kind of people are capable of buying their own residences? How could it happen in a continent where the majority of its citizens own their own cars?

Are you an officer? Seems like it’d be really cushy either way.
Sometimes I wish I’d have just stayed in, my mos picked up rank relatively quick, it wouldn’t have been so bad, maybe. I miss not having to worry about all of the shit you have to take care of out here mostly.

...

My dude. And to think people here see Mexico as a viable job opportunity for doctors. It's like this everywhere in the world, so much i've gotten to the conclusion medicine is not needed anymore, or at least for now. In first world country there's a shitload of indians and in third world countries nobody sees medicine as a necessity, enough supply for it as a commodity, so there's no point.

The most viable solution at my hand is to scam students promising complementary courses to pass residency admision tests or usmle bullshit.

By the way, i'm graduating next spring as well.

You can easily get into human resources, and a lot do. HR is much more experience focused, so getting your foot in the door is most important. English prepares you for all the reading and writing you do.
Also, public relations is a popular one. So much of PR requires a skilled writer to come up with a good "story" for a company. Also marketing and advertising likes English majors for their creative abilities and abilities to make stories and write them for their product.
Almost every company out there needs a content writer for their websites and apps and everything and it's English majors they hire.
Of course there's technical writing as tech companies and products need manuals written. There's a lot of money in it, but it's just not something I'm interested.
Then there are the obvious like editor, publisher and all the usual writing specific ones.
As for me, I'm not working in the field but not because I couldn't get a job or anything, I'm going to grad school for an MPA.

No, but that's obviously an option for someone uncreative and afraid to find other jobs available to them

1. russland
2. theoretical physics
3. no (work in AI research now)
4. Surely you jest! That's the only thing worth wasting 6 years on. I pity humanities majors, that will realize that they studied some meaningless vaporware for 6 years.

Law school is just too much of a for-profit scam. I wasn't going to get into t-14 so it wasn't worth it to keep considering it

>that will realize that they studied some meaningless vaporware for 6 years.
We need people to stock shelves and do boring administrative work as well user, instead of pity, thank them for their sacrifice.

idk t.bh. Cities are getting expensive and where I live, even if you've got a roommate rent can get as high as $600 for two people each. Factor in living expenses, paying off debt, emergencies, etc. and it gets hard to see who can. I did some math and you'd have to put down about $30,000 as down payment for an average house in the suburbs. Who has that kind of money?

Texas
International relations/German - Graduated

No

Studying humanities is wholly dependent on the person. There are jobs for it, many that pay well.
It's just that most don't know or care and only study it because they're blue haired women who think there's 8 genders and they want to write about it.

What kinds of jobs are available to an international relations major?

good on you bro. What'd you major in?

Marketing
Nope
Yes I regret majoring in business. I should have gone to chemical or mechanical engineering instead

No, I got my degree while enlisted. And no, I don't live in the barracks so I do have to worry about all the stupid shit outside.

All work done by officers is managerial at most. Doesn't seem mentally stimulating for me, and the pay is not nearly as good as for other civilian jobs.

Do they really? I figure there are better degrees for those positions, such as psych major for HR, communications for PR, Journalist for website content writers, Marketers for marketing and ads?

I've always heard those degrees were already saturated, why would someone hire someone from a degree that is not obviously related to the position?

flag
Supply Chain Management (I'm still a student)
Yes, over the summer I did an internship where I worked in the sourcing department for a large multinational food company and they liked me so they hired me on to work part time while I finish up my degree and there is a pretty good chance that I will get hired on full time after I graduate
No, it's more interesting than I thought it was going to be, you can make pretty good money doing it, and at the moment there is a lot of demand for people with my skill set

Any alphabet agency, the state dept, military intelligence, network security etc...

I studied English specifically because I wanted to go to law school. When I made up my mind not to do it I have explored other options.
Now I'm planning on going to grad school and then taking the foreign service officer exam to be a diplomat. It's competitive as hell but by the time I apply and take the exam I'll have a graduate degree, served in the military and done humanitarian/service work in Asia. I feel I'll be competitive and have a good shot at getting accepted.

I don't know, user. I doubt most who study physics are happy with wasting their life in something so niche and dependent on the alms of the rich.

Should I go to the Netherlands for cheaper uni, or just stay in the states? (This is grad school)

The thing is that those jobs don't have a specific degree for them. HR has more people who didn't study HR than did.
That's the beauty of the English major, there's so much you can do with it, just pick a field almost and there's gonna be a job that needs one.
I'm not saying to go out and do it, just that there are jobs besides teaching and writing that people don't realize

Depends, what program/degree?

No es que la medicina ya no sea necesaria sino que el médico general ya no es útil. Aquí hasta el diabético con 7 de glucosilada quiere a huevo ir a ver a un internista antes de hacer caso a los tratamientos del médico general. Vivimos en una era de sobre/desinformación la cual te dificulta la praxis como médico general porque con el internet ya todos se sienten con el conocimiento suficiente para tratarse a sí mismo, aún si no sepan valorar una garganta hiperémica de una sana.
As far as I know indians and other asian medics have a bad reputation for being scammers and cheating on all of their tests so at least that'd set an edge in you aim to migrate somewhere in Europe.
I don't want to give you false hopes and tell you we're all going to make it because the situation here is dire as fuck and the intermission of the Mexican Goverment (and you could say the same for al hispanic-america) into the public health affairs seems lackluster/sloppy. Mostly because of corruption.

Síga poniendole ganas Dr. Si alguna vez se siente con ganas de tirar la toalla sólo recuerde al niño con aspiraciones que alguna vez fue, no lo defraude.

There's serious money in logistics and it's pretty interesting work. Sounds like a good plan my friend

International Relations at University of Amsterdam. Another plus is that it's one year for the masters, as opposed to two.

I went to grad school in Europe. For the love of God, do not go to grad school in the US! You will pay 3x as much as your bachelor and you will have a shit ton more opportunities for an unbiased education. I got my Master's in Estonia and the grand total of my 2 year degree was $2000 in tuition - not even joking.

>Foreign service exam

Based. I studied for it and maybe one day I'll try again if I don't pursue politics

How do you get into these programs?
My biggest issue is I don't know enough about it to know how the degrees translate. If I get an MBA (just as an example) in Europe and come back to the USA will people want to hire me?

A lot of people think it's boring as fuck but I honestly enjoy it
If you're one of those people who enjoys playing autistic city building games and strategy games then you would probably enjoy working in supply chain

Go for it! I can't think of anything cooler than getting paid to live in foreign countries and experience them while doing public service. I'm considering a masters in public administration so I have something to fall back on in case the FSO thing doesn't work out.

Puta, vale verga. Sabes, me hice doctor porque queria cuidar a mis papas, y mi papa era doctor, asi que vale verga ya.

Estos hospitales de mierda son la casa de la muerte, no aprendes ni mierda, nadie te enseña, solo llenas papeles, ambuceas y esperas a que pase la visita para decidir a quien vas a dejar morir y para que hora.

Digan lo que digan de los indios, son un mar. A estados unidos no se puede aplicar, mi hermano esta en eso. La verdad fue un error, esta mierda depende de los gobiernos y no hay señales que va a mejorar. Mejor hubiera hecho una mierda de diseño grafico o algo con computadoras.

Me vale verga todo.

>If you're one of those people who enjoys playing autistic city building games and strategy games then you would probably enjoy working in supply chain
I do, which is why I think I would have enjoyed it. There's so many jobs for it and the pay can easily go upwards of 100k a year. It's just too late in the game for me now, I'm almost graduated in something unrelated

Nothing special. I just applied and got accepted. No entrance exam at all. All they ask for is your transcripts, proof of completion. I was also accepted in France, but I wanted to explore Europe outside of the western half.
>Translate
If you are applying to the Netherlands, I highly doubt you'll need to get that translated. I did have to for Estonia.

cringe

Im a double E working at a fortune 100 company but its beyond cringe when science majors look down on liberal arts majors. Its embarrassing and juvenile. Humanity cannot be completely logical and right brained. Art and humanities are what makes us human, not robots. Kill yourselves

Honestly, I don't really know. I haven't found much information answering that question online, hence why I asked in this thread. I think it depends on which university you go to and how good it is, more than which country you study in. The exceptions to this is if you're studying things like law, medicine.

Now that's based. One day I'd like to take the exam, but I think only about 200 out of 12000 people who take it yearly, actually pass and are selected. Could be wrong.

Thanks for the advice. What did you major in? Which school in Estonia? What are you doing now?

>anything
I actually wanna work abroad to gtfo of here. I applied for the Peace Corps before graduating too, but I pretty much did everything with being an FSO in mind until junior year when I interned for a politician and decided my passion was campaigning. There's a lot of similarities in the jobs

And the worst of all was that i had shown contempt in these humanities that as you can see end up being more profitable. I wanted to do "science" and this was the closest viable thing. I had thought biology but i didnt want to kill animals, still dont want though, but very immature reason to not research further into it. Not that it would give me a better job oportunity but it could have been at least enjoyable and shorter.

By translate I meant translating to a job, not linguistically.
Like, are Yuro degrees looked down on or not here?

>USA will people want to hire me?
Mate at this point, it doesn't matter if you graduate magna cum laude...you have an entire system of diversity quotas to fight. I personally know Men and Women that are working in restaurants with very nice degrees. They are unhireable because of the over-saturation of degrees; plus the your race.

I'm in the same boat, I want to get out of here as soon as possible

flag
electrical engineering
yes
no

Also, to be considered for acceptance, I needed to send in proof of completion of my bachelor's, two recommendation letters, and my transcripts. Didn't need to take a language test because the program is in English and if you're from a native English speaking country, most times they don't require tests. You can literally apply on the website.

I don't think European degrees are looked down upon, especially if it's a top 50 or top 100 school in Europe. Imagine how many people are working in New York for example, and how many of those people are foreigners with degrees from European schools. Even if you don't want to work in new York, it's just an example and applies to the rest of the country with little exceptions. I think if you were just getting your bachelor's, you'd probably be better off in the states. But since you're thinking of a MBA, with that, you'd already be more qualified than like 90%+ of the population, regardless of where you got your degree.

I thought you meant translating your records? Ah ok. I really think that now days, it really doesn't matter where you went - well I guess it does if went to University of Florida vs. a community college.

It's definitely something I want to do, but I also have a wife who works in the medical field here. I don't think her license transfers to Europe so if it doesn't then she went to school for nothing and can't work in a hospital. That's the main thing that would stop me from doing it

America's work culture is unbearable. You're expected to work like a dog and be happy to get shit pay. If you're getting shit paid why not do it somewhere else?

Gotta say I do love my job of being a staffer though, I can't imagine sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day working so someone else can make more money than me

>Mejor hubiera hecho una mierda de diseño grafico o algo con computadoras.
Wey no chingues yo quería ser carpintero o granjero AKSJKDJKSAJDKSAJDKASJD. Cuando te das cuenta del estado actual del mundo y miras tus años de estudio en retrospectiva te das cuenta que las carreras son un puto fraude y que de haber hecho un oficio ahorita ya vivirías independiente de tus padres.

>I do love my job of being a staffer though, I can't imagine sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day working so someone else can make more money than me
Isn't that literally what you do though working as a staffer? I'm not super knowledgeable about the job but aren't you working for a politician who probably gets paid a ton of money?

>shit pay
Honestly, you're probably gonna make more in the states than in europe, save for a couple countries like Norway and Switzerland. It's the work culture, working hours, and little guaranteed vacation time and parental leave that is brutal.

I'm not an expert, you should do more research online, but I'm pretty sure for medical related degrees, they only apply in the country you got the degree in. This might be different if it's nursing though.

>This might be different if it's nursing though.
It's respiratory therapy which isn't really a thing in Europe. It's a specific field in the US but Europe more like lumps it into nursing and occupational therapy and others instead of it being it's own job.

>Isn't that literally what you do as a staffer

Yes and no. One of the best things about working in this field is that there are people who are passionate about their platforms so you're actually working towards a cause

>aren't you working for a politician who probably gets paid a ton of money?

Right now I'm working for someone who's running for the first time, and she's not getting paid nearly as much as people think because getting voted in involves a self-funded campaign. Family dynasties pretty much run the city and they can outspend you like crazy

Hey I remember you from a previous thread, I'm the English major who was planning being a foreign service officer too

MA? Kennedy is gonna run for senate and he'll win based off of money and name. That's why politics is such a shitty field most of the time

Based. It's still my plan and I remember you too. Have you already graduated yet, I can't remember?
