>you had one (01) chance
>you were lied to, and got a shitty degree
if anyone is in uni for an economics/business degree, switch out NOW. you will never get a job with such a terrible major. unless you get a masters' degree I guess.
I graduated from the top ranked uni in my state (a public ivy) and I can't get a position anywhere, despite 5 years work experience.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>Getting a education degree
I can smell the little tards i will be work with for the rest of my life. Still, i find education a comfy career, specially if you find yourself a teaching position in a small town. So far so good, my state is not bankrupted yet so there is plenty teaching opportunities.
What are good majors??? I was thinking of Bussiness
I have the same degree and have a great job.
accounting, finance and marketing are all fine.
>tfw dropped out of arts degree on the first semester
what job do you have though?
and what work experience is required to get it?
Is accounting hard? I'm pretty average at mathematics
What do you do now thouggh?
no it isn't too bad. Basically adding and subtracting with calculating some percentages as well. I'm majoring in marketing and took two introductory level accounting courses that weren't bad at all. It may be more difficult at higher levels but if you can do basic algebra or stats this is much easier.
>Breeze through education up to university level
>Become depressed and stop caring
>Barely attend lectures
>Dont study at all
>Grades start to slip
>Barely graduate
>Left with a piece of paper that says I passed but with such low grades that it is basically trash to employers
>Join the wage slaves in shitty jobs
Realising it is all my fault and I am no better than the people I work with doesnt take away the regret.
a lot of places don't care about your grades though
what degree?
>i find education a comfy career, specially if you find yourself a teaching position in a small town
It sounds quite comfy, you're right. What country are you from and what depopulated area are you planning to be teaching at?
Mathematics bachelors. Here in bongland most serious employers require a 2:1 or higher.
I graduated without honours so now spend all day working a shitty job and most nights studying for a separate accounting qualification.
Any student robots reading this take my advice and push through with school and dont give up. Its worth it in the long run.
semi neet working on family business. and i get some free time to work on my drawing skills. maybe not as good as going in an art school but at least im not going to be in debt.
Stupidly chose Sociology, there are other reasons for why I am a failure but I always feel so dumb having to answer when people ask what my degree is and when I tell them they pretty much all just respond with "Oh..ok".
I actually love mine.
B.S. in human physiology, with a minor in Chem.
>tfw had more than one chance
>tfw chose philosophy twice
You probably weren't lied to. I wasn't. No one told me other truthful things that I needed to know though. Like no one makes it anywhere with any degree ever if they're a spineless piece of shit bitch like me.
>if anyone is in uni for an economics/business degree
Don't companies try to recruit people in uni where you live? In my uni we have a lot of companies that do meet and greets to try to find good employees that are getting a economics/business degree
Want to add that they even sponsor trips to go to London and shit for recruitment in finance so where I live economics seems to be in very high demand
Chem degree here, its only purpose it to tell schools im qualified enough to get another degree
>Don't companies try to recruit people in uni where you live?
I graduated 2.5 yr ago
>In my uni we have a lot of companies that do meet and greets to try to find good employees that are getting a economics/business degree
I graduated with a job and dont have it because my dad insisted i could get a better one, he offered me money to quit
NEET life (something i never experienced before) seemed so great i had to take that deal. It turned out to be better than i ever expected, until my dad started hassling me 24/7 to get a job... yet its his fault i have no job
>London
I live in the USA
>>London
>I live in the USA
I don't live in the UK either, companies sponsor trips to other countries where I live even as far as many Asian countries. I think that the problem is that the US has too many people with economics degrees, you should look into moving to Asian or European countries where your degree is in demand.
>just move to another country as an unemployed and broke person
Yeah, that's just silly
>Yeah, that's just silly
Send in your CV to a lot of companies and if you get an interview I bet one of one of your friends or family could lend you money for the trip
>energy physics
completely useless degree.
A degree is better than NO degree which I have.
Oh my parents would pay if it meant me getting a job.
Ive seny my resume to 863 places. 7 calls back, 1 in person interview, 0 job offers
>Ive seny my resume to 863 places. 7 calls back, 1 in person interview, 0 job offers
That sucks man, you really should look into looking for a job in other countries than the US
>in other countries than the US
I speak no other languages and my work experience is basically just web development. I don't think anyone would give me a job in some other country, nor do i even want that. It sounds horrible desu
Well at least as an education major, you should not have to worry about your job getting automated out of existence.
I got a degree in biology, and I haven't found a job related to it since I graduated. Worse is that our new president is making the science divition of our country a fucking joke by putting incompetent people in high positions, closing branches, closing schoolarships leaving people in grad school without a support, and firing a lot of people. Mexico btw.
I have had to work supermarket jobs just to fund my videogames.
what public ivy?
at UNC currently and wondering if im getting memed
I was considering Economics or Finance, I plan on getting a masters, would you still suggest I consider a different major?
>went for accounting
>boring as balls
>hate the jobs
>jobs all pay shit anyway
>ceiling is like 60k after 10 years experience
desu I consider suicide every day. At least an english lit degree or some loser shit would have been fun.
>civil engineering degree
>didn't network
>no job experience
>no master's degree
>no social skills to bullshit interviews
>no replies from applications
No hope
Huh. I'm accountingfag. Civ eng was my first choice but I switched out. Guess it's not any better on the other side of the fence.
How much of your maths education do you retain/remember. For instance can you do real analysis?
Univ of Florida
I couldnt tell you honestly. Masters seems to be different. You get a job from connections or extensive relevant experience
Thanks for honesty, my dad has a pretty important job in our city so he has a lot of business connections. I think that paired with a masters degree will allow me to live comfortably. That is if everything goes according to plan. :/
No. You're an adult. All decisions are your own and nobody is responsible for your situation besides you.
Competing with construction Chads who came out of the industry just to get a degree for work or industry placements is hell. I don't know if wasting 4 years doing university was worth it.
Considering the Army, I have no more patience pressing F5 for an email that isn't coming
>I speak no other languages and my work experience is basically just web development. I don't think anyone would give me a job in some other country, nor do i even want that. It sounds horrible desu
England, Singapore, Hong Kong and a lot of other countries that are business centers are English speaking user.
I don't know if it calms me to know everyone else is just as fucked and joblet as I am
>He fell for the biology meme
All of those places sound worse to live in, and i see no logical reason to believe it's easier to get an unskilled position there. Why wouldn't they just hire any random person?
Obviously my mistake was listening to my dad. However, this is only an issue because he verbally assaults me for doing so. Whatever. I find solace in the fact that me being NEET makes him 100x more miserable than it could make me
>All of those places sound worse to live in, and i see no logical reason to believe it's easier to get an unskilled position there. Why wouldn't they just hire any random person?
You said you had a very good uni degree which is in demand there. As I said (and I don't even come from a english speaking country) companies from there spend a lot of money on student sponsored trips to attract workers from a good university. Also look into Singapore, it looks like heaven to live in desu, where do you live atm that's better than Singapore or London?
>public ivy
Kek. Dude there is no public ivy. Nobody sees UCLA or UF and puts them on the same footing as a Harvard or Yale. If you are at an actual Ivy League school an Econ degree will get you a job in IB or at a Fortune 500. Outside of actual ivys plus prestigious private schools (think georgetown, UChicago) you're gonna have to network hard or go to grad school for a good gig.
>t. econ undergrad
>You said you had a very good uni degree which is in demand there.
I went to a high ranked uni, but it's just a bachelors degree. It really doesnt indicate any special abilities. It just means "this guy isnt a retard" honestly
>As I said (and I don't even come from a english speaking country) companies from there spend a lot of money on student sponsored trips to attract workers from a good university.

I live in florida and don't intend to move anywhere colder than that. I would have yo give up my guns to live there which are my prized possessions
I don't know why it sounds like heaven to you, it sounds like the opposite to me
there is no public ivy. People see UF or UNC and think state school. Nobody in the employment world knows or cares that its much harder to get into UF than Alabama
>I live in florida and don't intend to move anywhere colder than that. I would have yo give up my guns to live there which are my prized possessions
>I don't know why it sounds like heaven to you, it sounds like the opposite to me
Singapore and Hong Kong are super warm countries. How isn't a rich and safe place to live in heaven?
It is still highest ranked in my state, which is where i'm applying 90% of the time
I like having lots of space and being able to avoid people. I am plenty "safe" here and "rich" means shit is expensive, actually. Tell me how it is better than Florida. Is ketamine legal there? Is tobacco expensive? These are my 2 favorite things in the world, btw
>I like having lots of space and being able to avoid people
But cities are where economics and business degrees are in demand user, you can't have a lot of space in any city. Have you looked for jobs in NYC user?
>last year Bachelor of Technology in Electronics
>24
It's too late to change it now. Fucking hell.
>degree
>none of you fucking idiots are getting journeyman-licenses
I swear to god. This is too damn pathetic.
and thats fine. just don't expect it to carry weight in the business world. at the end of the day a state school is a state school.
I would kill myself if i lived in NYC. It's terrible and also probably too cold. I have never seen snow, and dont really want to. I've applied outside of Florida but got no calls from anywhere else.
My degree means nothing, i told you. It offers no relevant work experience. The only work experience i have is web development, and it's weak
>I would kill myself if i lived in NYC. It's terrible and also probably too cold.
But business centers are were econ degrees are in high demand, have you applied to any big business cities? I hope you've at least applied for jobs in Miami and Los Angeles.
Yes all the big cities in the southest, including miami which i also dont want to live in
My only work experience is web development/programming, so my economics degree is utterly irrelevant. What job do i even apply to with an econ degree and 0 relevant work experience?
sounds like you are a choosing beggar user
>My only work experience is web development/programming, so my economics degree is utterly irrelevant. What job do i even apply to with an econ degree and 0 relevant work experience?
Have you applied for any internships user?
Nah, i apply to jobs i dont want... basically exclusively, since there isn't a job that i want.
What job should i apply to where an econ degree is relevant, and work experience isnt necessary? That's what i don't understand. I only have applied to web dev positions, because i have 5 yrs work experience in that
search entry level economics on indeed and start applying bozo
Apply for internships user
I got an internship years ago when i was in uni. Graduated and kept the job for 3.5 more years. dad said i could easily get a better job and offered me money to quit, so i did and moved in with them. 7 months later, no job at all. That's the story: i trusted a boomer. I'm not in school anymore i graduated
2 year associate of science degree in criminal justice, and it isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
Went into that field because I bought into the whole make the world a better place idealism. I worked in corrections. Found out it was one giant lie.
Now I'm operating heavy equipment, making more money, work with some great dudes and am genuinely much happier than I was working in corrections.
I'm glad I took the trades pill. College is a meme for the most part.
You mean work for free? That wont solve the problem, which is 100% based on money. What is different between entry level and internship??
what school of economics?
>You mean work for free? That wont solve the problem, which is 100% based on money. What is different between entry level and internship??
Work for free to get relevant experience and later get a job, this is how the world works user.
Yet i worked 5 years in 1 field and cant get a job doing that at all
And working for free is out of the picture. I am not looking for a job because i want one, but because my dad (who caused me to lose my old job) insists that i need to make income. An unpaid internship does not fit the bill. I live with them (lived alone for 7 years, but quit my job because he told me to) now so i cant just go waste my whole day slaving away for free
>I got an internship years ago when i was in uni.

That's the story: i trusted a boomer. I'm not in school anymore i graduated
That sucks man, remember in the future to never quit unless you have another job lined up
Internships only last for a couple of months usually and you gain so much from them so you really should look for internships user
Marketing is pointless. Just get a business general. Both will land you in sales. The other two are good specialties but you have to really like the work. If you are someone that like strategy or video games then look at logistics.
You don't understand. My dad would get enraged about it, and because i made the mistake of listening to him once i am utterly dependent on them for a place to live.
I CANT work for free. He would insist on a mcjob instead (making half of what i did before) because it's all about money to him
He is even pissed that i am freelancing because he thinks it's not a real job!
It is about the only good degree to get.
You were the idiot that went to the Ivy. The problem is that everyone likely perceives you as being too expensive.
Lesson kids. Get your bachelor from a state University. Honestly it really does not matter which, go on price. Name recognition doesn't mean shit outside of your local region. If you then want a master's down the road, go to a top school in your specialty. Going to an Ivy for a bachelors is an astounding waste of money and won't impress many as OP is finding.
I got the same degree. I got a decent job in sales but the education had nothing to do with it.
>He is even pissed that i am freelancing because he thinks it's not a real job!
So you have a nice freelancing job right now, you seem to live a good life user, don't listed to your boomer dad.
The land of hue, carnival and favelas, come and visit us but tell us your a foreign or we will charge you 10x more for you taxi trips
Jokes aside, i am focusing on my hometown, i'm planning to move back to live with my dad around June, to continue my studies and, if all goes well, apply for an internship in one of the two schools the town have.
I will have this as a comfort, knowing that no machine will come near my little tards and their hormones, i think i can sleep feeling better every night knowing this
History, meme degree i know
He said he didnt even get honours which in the UK means that his degree isn't even worth the paper it's written on, technically he failed but was close enough to ger something out of it. Even a third class honours which is minimum pass is basically unemployable. It's basically better not to even put it on your CV at that stage.
It is no guarantee of work. I am about to make $80 after 3 days, for example. He is gonna force me to get a mcjob, in which case i'll probably off myself and blame him exclusively in the suicide note
>History, meme degree i know
Oh lol, I misread "education" as "economics."
wow glad to see that im still fucked for being poor
Can't you get a job in the same field that you have a lot of experience in?
cry me a river faggot. ivy league schools are need blind
im a white dude who makes just enough to be not-poverty but not enough for my parents to pay.
shouldve just partied in high school instead i guess
sounds like your parents suck
There are no good degrees
t. mechanical engineering bachelor
Sometimes it's not the degree that's bad, sometimes it's the person that's bad. Don't call a degree shitty that has good avg pay because you can't find a job with that degree.
>3.5 years of experience doing web development
god DAMN, ride the wave! That's not bad at all!
IT is mostly trash, but it's currently going through a nice moment - build a garbage-ass toy project with the latest """frontend""" """development""" framework (React I think? It was, last I checked), put that on your CV, and apply to shit.
Sadly, Florida doesn't have a great job market for tech, but since you want good weather, Houston, Dallas and Austin are where good shit happens outside of NYC and the Bay area. Also try Virginia and the Carolinas, being close(r) to DC means there are plenty of firms with government contracts that always need more hands on deck, plus the pay is gucci. Of course, that's assuming you're not a stupid stoner, a fucking junkie or do anything that might make them get a security clearance for you even the slightest bit dubious.
Also, you seem like a stubborn fuck, reminds me of myself. If you're that much in love with Florida, think about remote work - but to have better chances, you need more experience. It won't be impossible, but remote employers want someone who can wipe their own ass without constant supervision.
>sometimes it's the person that's bad
according to my old boss, i was the most diligent worker
unfortunately i can't put "really smart" or "good worker" on my resume. also, it's unfortunate that employers can't do IQ tests anymore
whatever
it's all my fault. i should have never trusted my boomer dad who said i could "easily" find "a better job" in just "a few months"...
actually it is 5 years (including the original internship + the time i've been NEET). there is no hole in my resume. it says i'm still employed there, i just tell them i work remotely, my old boss would lie for me
the way i quit was glorious too: i basically said i was going on vacation. 2 weeks later, boss asked me when i'm coming back. told him i won't because of some roastie at the company was horrible to work with (she was basically a BPD & OCD mega-bitch, who would lie and try to sabotage my job)
i wrote a super long text message basically calling her the worst human being on the planet. he let me keep my work laptop =)
>tfw all the plebs go to uni en masse then fail to get jobs
Good luck with paying off that massive fucking loan
I'm really glad my parents aren't total retards, and told me that hummanities degrees make you basically unemployable unless you have people skills, which I don't.
>according to my old boss, i was the most diligent worker
Can't you ask your old boss for your job back or for a reference?
I basically can't because of this: >the way i quit was glorious too: i basically said i was going on vacation. 2 weeks later, boss asked me when i'm coming back. told him i won't because of some roastie at the company was horrible to work with (she was basically a BPD & OCD mega-bitch, who would lie and try to sabotage my job)
>i wrote a super long text message basically calling her the worst human being on the planet. he let me keep my work laptop =)
the girl still works there
>for a reference
what does that mean? ask him if someone else can hire me? I can use him as a reference. in fact, if the employer calls previous employers then he would be the reference
at that point at least you can say a McJob is beyond you
