I've started just leaving my bachelor's off my resume . I do this so nobody asks me about it or expects me to know anything . My brother thinks I'm an idiot and could be make $100k or whatever.
I have a degree in Computer Science.
I can't code . I don't know networks. I don't know I.T. I don't know anything associated with the degree .
This is not imposter syndrome. This thread goes smoothly if you take what I say as 100% fact
>just learn to code I've tried for 4 years while being personally mentored by very patient good phds. It doesn't click.
Wait you went and got a 4 year degree and learned absolutely nothing about you major. da fuk user.
Daniel Butler
do you know if statements, loops, variables, functions, structs, classes?
Andrew Walker
how did you exactly pass a degree without learning anything? you have to apply 1st year programming concepts and math on later years as well.
getting mad liar vibes.
Samuel Diaz
CS isn't programming or IT. OP probably is good-ish at discrete math though.
Easton Gray
I kinda know them except for structs and classes. Aside : I know zero object oriented concepts or data structures. I don't even know how to code a quick sort. I have no language I can say I know or prefer to work in.
Evan Scott
Keep it on your degree.
Apply to positions that don't involve coding or high-level math. If people ask, just say you decided to "take full scope of life's opportunities" or some bullshit.
A lot of the time, a degree is little more than a stamp certifying you aren't a retarded for potential employers. It's an important stamp, but unless the job demans X degree, anything will do.
Liam Gutierrez
How did you pass data structures and algorithms? I'm in a similar position, CS grad w/ no internships or good projects and I"m having trouble getting paid what I want to get paid. I have an IT job at a shit hosting company, though.
Literally, apply and interview for hundreds of jobs. When you get interviews, try to get as much information about the interview process as you can and CRAM for that shit. That's how I got my current job. Act like you won't graduate unless you CRAMMMMM
Anyway, did you got to a shitty school? I was barely able to graduate from my mid-tier school in CS and I'm a decent programmer. I'm working through free code camp to try to get a web dev job. You're probably just not trying hard.
Asher Scott
Structs and classes are just a way to format your data. Anyways, it doesn't matter if you can code a quick sort or not, you're getting stuck in the weeds. You can spend an eternity doing tutorials, but if all you do is copy-paste lines of code or only think of the code you're editing at that moment and not the whole program, then you will never truly grasp programming.
Jack Morales
Should I even try to program ? The closest to knowing a language I got was R. I was able to cheat by C but I don't know it at all.
Can I get a job with just R? I can maybe take what I know and cram hardcore and actually get somewhere What specifically can I even get? I've genuinely just worked a warehouse job for 6 months after I graduated
Jaxon James
i don't think I can answer any esoteric code interview questions to be honest
Ethan Brooks
how the hell did you get a degree in computer science without learning how to code?
Hudson Russell
Low standards
Jacob Harris
then how did you get a degree? it's bullshit that you don't know anything.
Jace Howard
Why don't you learn something easier than C? And more applicable to today's market? Learn Python... Or javascript. Or some other high level lang. Low lelvel systems shit is probably not what you want to be going for.
Nathan Turner
Go the army. Any degree will do. Then federal jobs.
Nicholas Nelson
I just said I don't know C. Wh at can i do in the army
Joseph Jackson
If you have a four-year degree you can enroll directly in officer candidate school and avoid being a grunt at the very bottom goarmy.com/ocs.html
Elijah Perez
No way
Jack Cooper
Anything. Army is huge.
Julian Foster
are y'all really trying to force him into the army
Julian Butler
What's the fuckin problem He can get any certification he can fuckin think of in the army
Joshua Anderson
Yikes
Charles Murphy
this, most science majors I know ended up getting some clerical or administrative position that had nothing to do with the so called focus of their major but you're really hurting yourself by leaving it out.
Levi Moore
Use your degree and apply for positions that doesn't require computer science. Things like an actuary or something.
Mason Johnson
What are you, an idiot? it make no difference what your degree is in unless you are going to work in whatever your field of study was.
Many employers will automatically weed out resumes of non-degreed people - A degree will still open doors.
Nathan Allen
Are you serious with that actuary suggestion? Dude...
Jose Nelson
a lot of people switch career paths. just apply to places in a different field at an entry level position.
Carter Thomas
CS degrees are about time complexity and computational theory. Universities like to bait people with programming courses for the freshman/sophomore levels, but after that it's abstract math that just blurs together
