Veeky Forums studies

Software Engineering student here. Always wanted to work on vidya, and that's still my goal.

I go 3 times a week with a friend, and that's pretty much all I can spare.

Cyber security with a minor in business
I build my schedule around the gym so I wake up at 6 to get to the gym at 7. Get back around 9-930 then shower, breakfast, spend time with girlfriend and nap around noon. Wake up 2-4 and study before class at 7 PM. Learning programming on my free time and Kali Linux functionality. Gonna start studying for security+ and CCNA come winter break. I do game when I don't have homework.

There might be some discrepencies with academic terms across countries (I'm not from US/GB).

I'm doing a preparationary year at uni right now. If you get all grades you get a guaranteed spot for a Masters or Bachelors program. My plan A was always CS as programming is fun and microprocessors and data structures etc. seems interesting. But the more I look into EE the more appealing it seems. However people seem to agree that it's significantly harder than CS as it's much more theoretical and more advanced maths/physics.

Speaking against it apart from that would be the fact that you mention. Feels like being a freelancer and doing interesting projects/traveling would be easier with a CS, and that EE might have me stuck in a lab optimizing circuits for a washing machine or something.

physiotherapist , spell it with me " C H A D "

I'm studying medicine. It helps me with gains.

i studied nautical science because i wanted to see the world, quited the seafaring life three years ago because of my kids.

I'm working on a masters in aviation finance. I have ample time to go to the gym, but should probably study more.

I study some bastard between business and computer science, simply because I'm too dumb for real computer science and hell did I try, I learned 5 hours a day every day and still failed, I'm still too dumb but these bastard study is way more forgiving for brainlets like me.

...

If you're in the US, going to med school and residency is the biggest fucking gains killer in the world. I work 70-80 hours per week. I'm about to go in for 14 hour night shift on a Saturday. Fuck this shit. Don't go into medicine.

I'm a journeyman welder, and am now duel ticketing with Landscape Horticulture. With this ticket I can get a high up management job for my city so that's my plan.

I know man. Im from europe and it isn't much better here. I try to go to the gym at least 2 times a week, 3 if I can but I'm really short on time.
That said, I still would recommend to go for it if someone's intrested.

Math (spec. Financial Math)

Because I'm good at it and it will be easy (hopefully) to find a job that's also fun. At least for me, I just want to work with Excel and program a little.

Math is a skill you train. Basically like lifting, bruv. That's true for real mathematicians (who study actual math and need to do proofs etc) and even more so for STEM or other people who just need to apply the things someone smarter found. That's purely putting in the time.

>be welder
>learn about backyard plants
>now qualified for management
What a world

I'm studying software engineering, but I just wanna make a band because I'm a musician

Physiotherapy, and pretend to study something else related to health, Nursing(?) or PE, perhaps becoming a PT later

>EE math is demanding
you're never going to make it brah .

I feel like if you're retarded enough to become a welder you should probably be disqualified from any position that requires you to make serious decisions, as you're clearly not good at it.

hey, popular lawyers and tv personalities are apparently qualified to run countries.

>this whole post

you could Tinker

Yeah lol I do mech and maths is literally the easiest thing about it lol. Nobody fails maths, it's dynamics and mechanics of materials that people fail.

Studying for the GRE so I can go to grad school for developmental psychology, want to work with children with autism (which is why I spend so much time on this board)

yea engineering is baby-tier mathematics

>dynamics and mechanics of materials
Looking back, I'm glad that they made these classes unnecessarily difficult at my university, aince they're one of the few classes that are still useful in the working world

IT degree but specializing in IT forensics. Fuck software engineering

Yeah most graduate schemes ask what you got specifically in them in the uk. Separates the men from the boys.

Kek, have you found a cure for it yet?

Math and Econ, hoping to graduate early and then go to law school. Living in cocoon mode, so I have enough time to study all day and workout 2 hours and still have time left over.

Settled on Classics (ancient Latin and Greek poetry, mainly) because it was harder and more fun than physics, CS, and history.

Now I'm a grad student funded by the US govt to study and read and teach. Ample time to lift, get to do something that I'm excited about everyday. Is there a comfier life than academia?

>going to college

Start working as young as possible, 60 hours a week once youre out of high school. Save every penny you dont need to live. Buy and sell assets that increase in value over time, crypto is pretty hot lately. Eventually save enough you can put 20% down on a house. Rent it out while still working. Pay off house and sell it, put 20% on two houses. Sell those once they are paid off. Now you should have enough you are able to be an expat in thailand, retired in your mid/late 20s.

college is only worth it if youre a ball nigger or you have a guaranteed job lined up.

I think it is hilarious that STEMiggers think they are entitled to success that shit blows up in their faces once they realize they need to start filling out apps for starbucks

make sure to explain to your students that the Iliad is infested with patriarchal heteronormativity and white privilege

Graduated in May, looking to pay the majority of my debt and get a bit of experience before applying for graduate school. Want to get a PhD in immunology and hopefully work with immune/oncology research for my whole career.

Anybody with similar interests?

CivEng here, I got into eng cos I thought I'd be good at it and wanted to make good money. Picked Civ because I enjoyed the intro classes the most (in my country we do a common 1st year and then specialise). 2nd year maths kicked my ass with diff eqs, fourier series and the harder numerical methods, I'm pretty sure maths for EE gets even harder (civ is brainlet tier)

Eng isn't about the difficulty of the coursework though, it's about dealing with the workload. I still make time to go to the gym though. Actually, I think my grades would be worse if I spent that time studying instead

2008 called, your and idiot

Fucking kek,

>brainlet detected

just do that same shit but 3-4 years later after college and I guarantee you your income and savings will be much higher. Also, if you press on a little further, go become a (((doctor))) or a (((lawyer)))) and you can make as many shekels as schlomo

I was literally going to go to law school until I realized how fucking retarded it is to put yourself in literally a quarter million dollars of debt. I would agree with you if it wasnt so easy to make your money grow, if I had 50k saved up now at 22 I could easily retire before I was 30. instead I went to college and have nothing

I agree with a lot of what you said, i saved up 15k in HS and I'm going to use it as a down payment on a duplex for a building, and saving and investing your money is by far the most important part of leaving wagecuck and thete status behind. However, law deifnitely pays off if you go to the right school, do biglaw, and get a decent scholarship. If you get financial aid for need, you end up paying like 30k per year at a good school, but if you get like 173-180 on the LSAT you end up paying much much less than that because of merit based scholarships. Even if you do end up with 200k debt, it still pays off quickly if you get a biglaw job and start off making 150-250k, and possibly more than that if you invest well. There's also an element of prestige and security that comes with the money, making it definitely worth it in my mind.

Who the fuck graduates 250k in debt? Most people I know were in the 30-50k range. You don't need to go to a huge school to get a good job.

in med school -- first year was ez-pz

second year it is a bit tougher to find time but still doable, you just need to not dick off when you do study and get shit done.

History

Any other history boys in the house??

Cognitive Neuroscience major here. Still lift daily, work at a hospital and go partying on weekends. Time management fixes all problems

Maybe im a brainlet but getting 173 on the LSAT is no joke, I took the test and it was the most difficult test ive ever taken by far. It was just for practice and I didnt take it too seriously, there are people who have obviously gotten that high but it would probably take a ton of studying

UVA law is like 60k a year, then you have living expenses for those 3 years

Don't study anymore, but graduated from med school.
Working as a resident now.

Depends on the days really, if I do calls or 12h shifts I barely go to the gym, but usually it's some 9 to 5 or 8h shifts.

It's a lot like the HS SAT, and it's very easy to grind through and improve on. I've been practicing it for like 3 months now in preparation, if you study a lot in it you should make score gains

Yeah, but with need and merit based aid that cost is significantly reduced. The sticker price at my undergrad out of state is like 60k, but it's much much less after scholarships. It's not as reduced for law school from what i can gather, but most people still don't pay 60k

Dietetics major. I study food.

>production engineering
>home gym, atm joining a gym is not optimal
I used to be a slacker. Get a schedule and stick to it, write it on paper everyday. You have enought time to do everything if you don't fuck around.

Marine biology. Currently writing my Master's thesis on OP's mom.

Studying for bachelor's in bio-systems engineering, hoping to get a masters in biomedical. My school also has a program where you can go for your MBA in one year so I'll probably end up doing that as well. Overall it's pretty comfy, I'm in full on cocoon mode so basically all I have to balance is study/work/gym/sleep.

>Thinking about Electrical Engineering
>but I've heard the physics and math can be very demanding.

just don't even bother, champ. If you lack time management skills you don't have what it takes to be a successful engineer

I'm going to med school next year. Residency is a gains goblin as you work like 36 hours on a row, but does actual med school allow me to go to the gym too?

Why would I do something like that, mate? Is something wrong or do you just want to be angry at strangers on the internet?

Around here? Conservation officers. Most of the cons. officers in the state are about a decade or less from retirement, so there's opportunity there. There's also a lot stuff out west from what other folks have been saying. I've already got a guaranteed job right out of uni.

Bullshit aside, are there many insane people in your department?

Experienced welders (particularly pipeline) make a lot of money though, of course, not egging on 100K but quite a good living.

>tfw Material Science
Yeah, Mech. of Materials is absolutely mind boggling stuff, particularly dislocation interaction models. I used to do a metals concentration and it's excruciating nonsensical theory combined with extremely tedious experiments. I moved my focus to spintronics during doc/post-doc though, which is kind of still metals related but not anywhere touching mechanics of materials.

EE math is at least very grounded in something real albeit complicated (convolution, cross-correlation, nonlinear least squares) with materials it's really not about theoretical aptitude but curve fitting as microstructure tends to be evaluated on a more large scale ensemble utilizing hand wavy derivations, and the more advanced you go, the more it just becomes a matter of curve fitting.

>neuroscience biochem double major
I can hit the gym any day that I want, plus it gives great insight on nutrition/pharmacology. actually considering applying for pharm school- any Pharm Ds want to advise?

If you stay up to date on your classes and are good at scheduling, yes. But you can't get a consistent 5days a week program. Prepare to go only once or twice some weeks.
I lived with my parents so had enough time, as mom cooked for me.

Only if you count the Catholics.

But actually, nah. Classics tends to resist a lot of that stuff.

Law.

I have a shitton of time. Coming to the end of my degree.

But thats going to end the moment i get a job.

hang tough man, you just need to grind through it

Organic chemistry alongside a full time job at a distillery and going to the gym. Fucking end my life senpai.

literally getting handed jobs and you still bitch and moan, fucking useless

this

Sounds like you have put no effort into meeting people yourself. Handing in resumes at random is no way to prove you are worth hiring for more than a desk job

>hooks up with women
>goes on Veeky Forums
Something doesn't add up here. You know this place is for autistic virgins

>Handing in resumes at random is no way to prove you are worth hiring for more than a desk job
Tangentially related, I once got a job I really wanted because I came in to ask for one everyday for two weeks. They had originally told me they weren't looking for anybody.

How come there are so many Software/ Electrical engineers here?

Is Software engineering pretty much CS but no hardware?

At no point in my story was I handed a job, I was allowed to have a single interview from my dads coworker and then got fucked over by the CEOs son. I applied to 60+ positions and the rest of the shit I see around me (60 mile radius) all requires 5-8+ years of experience for.
so what do you expect me to do? Walk into engineering firms and tell them I'm looking for work? Go back in time and network more?
I'm actually physically a Chad because of my exercise and genetics, but still decently autistic

become an electrician, the two are closely related.

not even remotely

Architecture. This semester is quite busy, so I can go thrice a week tops, which sucks. Really fun, very interesting career.

Going for the military (maybe FFL). I had good grades in high school but I feel like a pussy (no willpower, no discipline, extremely emotional etc), and every "man" I've met so far is a pussy. The only way to become a man is to fight in a war

Rate my logic /10

>not applying because you don't meet experience requirements
My first job out of college "required" 7 years of airframe stress analysis experience. Just put a good resume together and apply, let the company decide if they want you or not

Im studying arts, no other reason than I suck at everything else. I'm kinda unhappy about it but I don't know what to do with my life if I don't
Gym is right inbetween my school and my house so that's neat

>join military to become a man
>spend 4 years as a stock clerk/toilet scrubber
If you want a life-changing experience, just do acid and put a scorpion on your dick

Checked
See

lmao you wanna be a Lawyer/Priest/Cop....haha are you 12?

They're good jobs user.

Writing software isn't engineering. Please don't insult my field

>not fucking a 12yo, arresting yourself, and defending yourself in court

business...
school 2 days a week so plenty of time to Veeky Forums

F A G

>Not arresting the 12yo, defending her in court, and fucking her again

When it comes to earning potential, electrical engineering is pretty decent. Using the "who you know not what you know method," i landed a 65k/yr EE job in California right after I graduated. You probably won't even use much math or physics unless you're making electrical components. Most of it's programming or using some specific software to design shit.

If I could go back, I'd probably do software or some financial business/math major. Even the dean of our engineering department told me he regrets getting his EE degree and should have gone the ME route.

As I sit here fantasizing about ever being able to make a down payment on a house, I'm starting to think a side jobs making apps or some software would build up decent extra income. That or some investment plan.

So yeah, maybe software or financial stuff.

>Mech
Yo mate that's my plan as well. Doing a BE in mech and will do a master's in aero

Any advice for me?

>get chemE degree
>get job in unrelated field

atleast it pays alright...

hey im this anonsame shit happened to me when i graduated this past december. I couldnt find jack shit until a friend gave me a lead from the company he works for. I was working at a gun range for 11 an hr with a engineering degree lmao Dont give up the search.
