But I didnt, I'm in engineering physics & philosophy (IK, philosophy is a meme degree)

Comp sci is the current meme degree. A bit like engineering was 2 - 3 years ago. Except comp sci like all the other meme degrees will get over saturated with graduates to the point they can't find any jobs as the best of the best have taken them.

it's the "loser who sat at home and played video games / surfed the net all day" major

daym, three degrees? I would just stop at engineering

most robots chose it because we have no passions to do anything in life so we all joined the cashcow bandwagon. its not the ultimate truth.

>comp sci like all the other meme degrees will get over saturated with graduates
Not really.
Everyone isn't going to make it to graduation

i studied programming and failed it

No, engineering physics is one degree, its essentially a physics major with a concentration in engineering

Literally anyone I have ever met who studies comp sci is a pathetic neckbeard or a Chinese work drone. Literally no one who studies comp sci has personality, social skills or style. They also all fucking stink for some reason, no sense of personal hygiene or care for others having to put up with their bullshit.

Doing PPE degree

not really made any friends or connections. Everyone around me is a stupid kid just like me.

extremely anxious about the job opportunities that come from politics and economics. Not sure where that woudl take me. Presumably politics but I'm a miserable pessimist and have little convictions

If you dont want to work at McDonalds and you dont have enough brain for the other hard degrees, its your best shot.

>Chinese work drone
This is me. I just wanted a sedentary job with no socializing, and I heard CS was the way to go.

>Why did everyone in Jow Forums study comp sci?
Because they're fucking nerds. Real men study Software Engineering.

Math is the ultimate degree right now. Especially applied math which is currently the most marketable degree from recent graduates. Hence why I'm a physics and math major

I've got bachelor's in neuroscience and anthropology and am going to grad school for the latter. It's a meme degree with low pay--at least for the amount of work that goes into any doctorate--but at least I don't want to neck myself. I'm more than alright with $6,000 per month and shit-tastic grants that let me go live in malaria-infested villages for a few weeks or months at a time.

With your social skills, I'm guessing you're in nursing?

Comp sci grad here. I didn't know what else to do, and now I have a cool job.

It's not the ultimate truth, but you can make good money if you're not autistic

OH NO NO NO NO

>t. bottom tier school cs degree with no job

>Why did everyone in Jow Forums study comp sci?
Because we're already on the computer all the fucking time and you don't have to interact with normies that much to be a code monkey

If you have a degree in math from a decent school, you can make major $$$ as a quant. Much more than a CS code monkey.
PhDs in math are even more bankable, almost guaranteed $300k+ salary.

>tfw fell for the nautical science meme
University once again ruins another career path with bullshit

>Nautical science
Excuse me what the fuck is that? Did you wanna be Sandy Cheeks?

It's one of the only viable career paths for nervous loners

Business? Basically a career in socializing
Politics? Even worse
Medicine? Constant interpersonal contact
Art? Lmao
Trades? Enjoy doing manual labor for 60 hr/week with sports fans and immigrants
Military? Enjoy all of the the above + you're a slave that doesn't even make minimum wage
Engineering? Too much math
Life sciences? Hope you like squirting pipettes for $14/hr
Law? Pointless unless you attend an elite school
Teaching? Glorified babysitter and student punching bag

Software engineers and webdevs among the most well-paid, most demanded, most flexible careers out there. Extremely good work-life balance compared to most other jobs. The degree is very strong and actually worth the investment. Some people have such a good work-life balance that they're able to work remotely ALL the time.

If you play your cards right and don't go full autismo you can land a comfortable job with much, much less social interaction compared to the hellish retail and warehouse gigs most robots are familiar with.

There are still more job openings that graduates every year

The field is still growing, entry is still relatively easy, jobs are still providing good salaries

Its basically the merchant navy.
I regret going into it every day.

Nope, I study electrical engineering

Geophysics graduate here. I'm currently working as a physics teacher trainee (the UK government gives wannabe physics teachers a fucktonne of money in the form of a tax-free bursary).
Teaching is exhausting and the workload is fucking ridiculous. Some of the kids are cunts and I feel like corporal punishment should be brought back sometimes. You have to have a lot of charisma to get them to shut the fuck up. Sending them out of the classroom should work but some kids have been sent out so many times that he has missed years of science classes.

Bright side: For some reason, a LOT of companies really value the skills of ex-teachers and there are whole companies devoted to funneling ex-teachers to companies.

this so much this
as a guy that isn't an autist but calls himself a nervous loner to seem empathetic, I can say that getting a job in CS is easier than any other field out there, you just have to not be retarded lol

What if I don't understand coding and don't feel like it would be something I'd enjoy?

I dropped out and study Medical Engineering. Never been happier.

So is something like electrical engineering shit?

So we could be six-figure wage slaves.

going through the same fucking thing, user.

It's just a coincidence since most people on Jow Forums are the introverted type.

Who cares, all fields are over saturated. There are too many people in the world, just pick something and stick with it.

Well I picked software development.

We are all going to make it.
Kind of wish I picked engeneering or CAD. It's something I'm actually good at.

>We are all going to make it.
That's a lie and you know it.

gahd dayum you said it

>Engineering? Too much math

what kind of shithole colleges are people going to? any comp sci beyond year one is all applied math

>Who cares, all fields are over saturated. There are too many people in the world, just pick something and stick with it.

what this nigga said, in not very long there won't be enough jobs to go around
all jobs that can be automated will be automated soon, so if you're a milennial and plan to actually have an income for more than half your life you'd better learn something real, computer science is a good choice in this manner.

I went with CS because it seemed like the most practical thing that I actually had any interest in.

I like programming and the theoretical stuff, don't get me wrong, but honestly if I had to rank my interests I'd place things like art or literature above it. Good luck making a living off that shit, though.

The problem is that now I'm in a situation where I'm too much of an awkward sperg to be liked by the normies, but at the same time too mediocre of a programmer to be liked by the turbo autismos who have been coding since they were in preschool.

Then you become a network monkey. As soon as you hear the words "you're hired", your trousers will magically turn into a pair of practical cargo trousers, filled with all the Citrix fobs you'll ever need.

Is IT really the only field you can go into w/o a degree? I thought about learning basic IT and then go in and try to get some kind of help desk cert. The problem is that I feel like I will end up hating it because I've been told that working in help desk is pretty much a lvl above call center. And call center jobs are the worst.

Are there any other IT certs I can get that will allow me to not have to socialize too much?

You've all got it backwards, uni will (or has) eat you alive and leave your dick dry. If you're underage&b, put on your suit your mammy bought you for your gay cousins wedding and go and apply for some apprenticeships in IT/software development.

You're not going to be starting as a senior developer at FuckBook or something as lucrative, but 3 years at Oxford Brookes won't put you in that position either. There's tons of positions going at small web dev houses, insurance companies, hell even the local sector. I started in the council, and the great thing about a council IT department is that you'll find people even more removed from normie-dom than you and your hanime bookmark videos.

A list the things you can expect to get out of an apprenticeship:
>Paid better than you job at Build-A-Bear
>low compentancy expectations
>a "degree" (it's a fancy BTEC, but you're not here for qualifications)
>actual experience of doing things people want and not doing uni group projects with wastelords and inties
>(hopefully) a decently comfy desk chair
>enough money to finance a fiesta ST
>enough flexing money to get with a nice girl who went to the same comprehensive school as you
>realistic potential to BUY a house (depending on where you live)
>proper experience and tutoring if you get paired with someone who knows their shit
>a permanent contract at the end of three years

So, to all of you, sort yourselves out for fucks sake.

Same thing here as well. 25 here too. I'm failing my classes again and I'm afraid I have to do the year again. If I have to it may be it and I just quit. I want to work and earn money. I'm so far behind people my age. I hate it

Yeah I know its never too late to turn your life around. I mean I have classes with guys who are in their 40's. I just feel so fucking embarrassed when I have to go to tutoring and have some 18 year old kid explain calc 1 to me.

>finally graduate with business degree at 32 yrs old
k now what

>quick story
I actually have an aunt who studied CS and got a degree in it in the early 2000's / late 90's and she told me not to take it since over the last decade or so it has become extremely over saturated in terms of Jow Forums since its become the new engineering meme where everybody takes it because they fall for the "I'm gonna be a hacker watch my skillz" meme.
I'm in Uni at the moment and i'm actually happy that i didn't take it because everyone i know that does it says its pretty much useless in terms of getting a job since so many people can do programming nowadays.
She still works in Universities doing CS and shit but i decided to just choose all of the Humanities subjects.
It worked well in my favour. The only people who should even think of programming as a subject are the people who have a general idea of how to do it before they do a whole degree on it. I realised over time that also alot of the people who do CS programming are extremely pretentious and arrogant.
I went into business pretty much and i was thinking of training to be a humanities teacher but i think i'm way over my head.

I'm getting a minor in CS in my maths degree. Also taking classes like finance and political science on the side.

it feels good to be in the EU where the state literally pays me to take as many classes as I can at a top-20 uni.

You need a PHD in stochastic calculus and a PHD in economics to be a quanty.

You dont know whatre you're talking about.

The reason the salary for a quant is 300k, because its not juts some degree anyone can get. It costs 100,000's to get, hella years, and serious math skills.

You are a dumbasss.

The market for software engineers is beyond fucked up. Not only is there a glut of people with degrees, but many self taught programmers that are also in the labor market. This is on top of the industry's practice of lobbying hard for visas for foreign workers and they were recently exposed in colluding to keep wages down.

>8:00 minute mark, the video is very interesting to those who want to move here for tech work

For what it's worth, I'm back in school to get an MBA to work for the (((kikes))) on wall street. My Ivy League CS degree is nearly worthless here. Unless you start a start up that gets bought, you are trapped in the wagecuck hell for life.

atleast I can waste 4 years of my life I guess

I just graduated with aerospace engineering. how fucked am I? I always think I should have done comp sci

I was thinking of majoring in this, is it really a meme degree?

husky soon but never husky now very sad tale

Enough will. It's not like rocket science or anything.

I never understood how these double major crap worked. I'm only physics major, but there's also an option for mathematical physics, among other things.

That was my same ideology during my last years. I still got my degree but I didn't get that 3.0 gpa
It's hard to study on your own at home, when there are so many distracting things on the internet...I should've just went to class

Start with your A+ and cisco, microsoft, and etc...

Its not a meme more of its rare that you actually get a job in the aerospace field. You'll probably end up being a software dev or something like that

Never understood this mentality. Assuming you guys are American youre paying thousands of dollars to not show up to these classes, imagine paying thousands of dollars for a computer and never using it, or a car.

>Except comp sci like all the other meme degrees will get over saturated with graduates to the point they can't find any jobs as the best of the best have taken them.

1.2m projected computer science job openings by 2020, 400k computer science graduates. It should be easy to find a job
r-right?

they think they are gods gift to the world and they dont have to work for anything. been there myself. my advice to them is to go to class, sit up front, and never accept anything below an A.

>youre paying thousands of dollars to not show up to these classes
In America the only end goal is the diploma.
That's all that matters

This is a major component of it. Look up a major tech company, and look at their office locations.

kek I need it to pay for uni.

on a serious note should I keep chugging and try to make it up?

Most anons here claiming they make over 6 figs were probaby Comp Sci. majors. They got on the train on time, and were able to find jobs before everyone and their mom decided to major in STEM (most likely CS).

I currently have that as a major, but I'm thinking about changing it. Other science majors seems more fascinating.

Drop out senpai if you can't juggle both toil and uni why keep going?

Anyone in CS not for the money? I just want a job where I don't have to socialize. Pay doesn't really matter to me.

Anyone here doing accounting?
