/uni/ - How do I escape this hell hole edition

Hello fellow college-slaves, how is your week going? Howd your midterm grades come out?
Im seriously considering dropping out. Im in year 4, but Im gonna have to go another year. I cant get an internship. I even went to the meme fair and got nothing. My advisors/professors constantly talk about how people hiring engineers are now looking for people with master's degrees, and they talk about how engineering is a gateway to everything other than engineering. Steel mill back home is hiring, so Im debating just dropping out and working there (if I can get a job). I got some serious debt, but starting pay is 50 grand a year. Any advice?

Sure feels good to have graduated last year and resuming the NEET life lads.

fuck you. I would kill to just have a steady factory job or be done with this bs. I didn't want to go to college. But things were fucked when I graduated HS so I had to do the college meme

meant for, you made me rage faggot

might as well finish if you've come this far, that's how I think anyways and I'm about 2 months from finishing my 2nd of 4 years. in a few months ill be halfway done, which isn't much but it's better than nothing or 1/4.

just sucks because I unironically have no friends here. first time in my life where I haven't had a friend group for more than 2 years and it fucking sucks, especially since there is no fucking escape from the social scene, I can't just go home like I did in high school.

>just sucks because I unironically have no friends here. first time in my life where I haven't had a friend group for more than 2 years and it fucking sucks, especially since there is no fucking escape from the social scene, I can't just go home like I did in high school.
Yeah, Im in year 4, no friends still. And Im guessing its gonna stay that way. Its awful That with the crappy job searches make me want to give up. Sucks too that one of my scholarships run out this year, so next year is gonna be real expensive

I semi-dropped out when I needed about 10 months to go.
Too depressed. Would rather just lay in bed thinking about suicide 24/7

that does suck user but only 1 more year to finish is worth imo. think of it like this, your career will probably be around 30+ years, you're literally using 1 extra year to have a salary about 50% higher for that whole time. worth af.

>tfw finally made peace with the fact that I will never make friends
going to uni is much easier now

That's why Im having a hard time. I know I could make at least 10 grand more a year when I get out. But this isn't the first time ive tried to get an internship. Last 3 attempts have been fruitless as well, so Im losing hope. Its gonna look bad if I get done and have no internship experience.
I don't know. Things are just so shit. Guess if nothing else Id have a degree for a resume

Not him but, Ive kinda gotten used to not having a lot of social interaction. It actually irritates me to have to deal with people, I just want to be left alone

Finish your degree

>few weeks before exams
>no fucking clue what's going on in calculus 3
>final worth 75% of grade.

I used to have college friends and gf but now I'm a hermit.

It's almost over now but I still miss those days sometimes. I can hardly keep up with my work just because I'm so apathetic about it all and idk how I'm going to get a job.

Actually I've been missing my ex for the first time in a long time today. Maybe it just wasn't so difficult to get out of bed when I had someone else to rely on

Some advice from a 26 year old boomer with a B.S...
I took more than 4 years to finish. Just finish your degree. Another year IS NOTHING. Take a semester off if you must, but make sure you go back.
Work with professors doing anything to gain some experience, recommendations and a portfolio of work.
Apply to jobs and internships on linkedin, glassdoor and etc... try to do 5 a day... Job fairs are a fuckin' meme.
Learn how to code...
Look for positions that are not exactly in line with your degree. Try to transfer whatever skills and analytical abilities you have cultivated into something else.

Uni was hell, but just stick through it bro it'll get better m actually, just kidding no it won't. You'll absolutely hate working 5 days straight a week every week. You think you're unhappy now? Wait until you start wagecucking.

If you're on college stay there as long as you can, and I'd strongly recommend anyone in college or high school to switch to nursing.

Get a job as a nurse so you only have to work 3 days a week. I get up at 6:15a and get home at 7:50p, then I have the whole next day off so I stay up until 2 am. It's a much better life than working 9-5 every m-f, every week.

And I know being a nurse sounds scary to you guys, but it's not if you do operating room nursing, it's nothing like what you think nursing is. You don't deal with patients, I spend 10 minutes a day tops (if that) talking to them. You don't clean up shit or piss.

All in all, you don't have to do nursing, but you have to do some type of job where you're working 12 hour shifts, I chose nursing, if there are others I don't know. All I know is that working 5 days a week straight every week is absolute hell.

>Had a job last three summers
>Owner called me a few days before Christmas
>user, we can't have you work for us full time this summer
I graduate with my IT degree in May, and after a few interviews I haven't heard anything back. What do I do anons?

fuck off you retard kill yourself

Idk desu, keep applying? I applied to a job online, got called for an interview later that week. Went to it, didn't get it. Later that week I applied to another job online, get called in for an interview, and got the job. This was all before I graduated too. But then again I was a nurse so it's really easy finding a job, I guess just keep applying?

Have a long term gf and on co-op making 18/hr. Have to take a full course load this summer for my 4th semester which will suck but we will make it bros.

>One more month until I graduate with my meme degree
I just do not care anymore. I want to be done with this shit. I just hope I pass all my classes and do nott fail at the last minute.

Alright, thanks user. I worked at a ware house last year, so that Id have something on my resume. May have to do it again


> You'll absolutely hate working 5 days straight a week every week.
I did last summer, I loved it. 40 hours a week, steady pay, and I worked with people I liked.

I drop out and did nothing for a lot of time then returned to uni when I felt I was really prepared for it.

Why do you guys go to uni? Fuck man, either i'm mentally retarded or i just don't want to be a slave. Which one is it? I'm fine with either answer.

>Take a test last week
>Feel like I did shitty
>"If I get a C I'll be happy"
>Come in this morning
>Teacher tells us our tests are graded but not ready to be handed back
>Go and check my test score after class
>93
I either must've misread it or it must've been out of more than 100 points, because there's no way in hell that shitstain earned me a 93%

Because I had nothing better to do nor any plans. I at least had the foresight to not major in a meme degree. Don't be like me. Find a plan.

Haven't done any work this entire term and am probably going to get kicked out.

I have so much work due that I'm not doing, I honestly considered jumping out in front of a car yesterday.

Currently majoring in Communications because I'm too much of a fucking brainlet to do anything of substance. I'm thinking my best course of action is to just get the degree and then rot away.

What the fuck is there to do with friends at this shitty place? At community college people would just hang out around the building and socialize and shit but here I can't find anywhere to go or anyone to talk to

I've had that happen before. It's pretty amazing when you do way better than you thought. Also your professor may have curbed the exam scores

Surprisingly enough, universities are full of complete fucking morons. It's mostly just conditioning and social nepotism.

>Im in year 4, but Im gonna have to go another year.
dont worry, im in year 9. the ride never ends. im studying abroad next semester. i dont even feel it anymore.

Just like in high school a good way to make friends is to join a club that way you have a common interest

I am pretty sure I fucking bombed my exam today but you have given me hope user
