Does there exist a profession more brainlet filled than CS?

I went with my particular CS degree due to the specialization it offered and the professors who were there. There's something to the ability to talk to someone who's been in the industry I'm interested in for 10-20 years and done cool things

You can't ask teachers questions through youtube. It's great that OCW exists and you can learn a lot from it, but being able to ask the teachers questions and have them explain the stuff to you directly is much better imo.

>built in bidet
>made in USA
nah

>more brainlet filled than CS?

problem is, you can get a CS degree without taking many of the better courses. not just at my university either. i've talked to a few other people who completed a bachelors at fairly reputable colleges who have big gaps in what i would call the "core" CS knowledge/skill-set and then end up working help desk or IT jobs. i partly blame general education courses for wasting students time, and partly the students themselves who avoid difficult classes whenever possible

> spending money to study

>Yes I'd like to apply for a job at your company
>Documented education? not since high school
>But this free MIT Course I took says I can do it

How can you be so smart and so retard

Only brainlets have to grovel for a wagie.

>not just studying out of textbooks and understanding it through sheer force of will

You do realize that Universities don't have monopoly on information? I know it's an unfamiliar setting for high schoolers such as yourself, but you do realize that UNI's just offer a formal acknowledgement that you've learned things? You can more or less self study any degree.

It's just happens that uni's are often the best place to learn skills.

>classes MIT gives out for free
user, that's only for uninteresting lessons like Lisp.

I know people like you, they spent 2 years "studying" online before they realised that they learned a semesters worth of knowledge after 2 years.

If you are able to learn on your own so well, why don't you go to university, relax for a few years, make some friends and be at ease, knowing that you will have a top paying job once you get out?

>not just reinventing the field from scratch
brainlets, when will they learn?

>why don't you go to university
You will loose time at university because students are stupids and teachers are slow. You can learn faster at home if you are not a brainlet.

Wow, you must be a very noble person to do things that would be more difficult for you in the long run. I in no way think that you're a brainlet that cant get his shit together and invents excuses in his mind about being intelligent, like the popular science atheists that infest facebook with their memes about e = mc^2 without actually understand what it means.

my nigga

I don't have anything against CS itself, but I had the displeasure of sharing student housing with a CS undergrad. He was a living stereotype. Horrible hygiene, fat, smelled like shit, left the apartment all messy and drank diet Mountain Dew.

>studying
What? For real? Are you retarded? ISHYGDDT

>4 years of food and housing

>90% or better job placement odds after the program ends
>get a certificate that says "hey this guy knows how to write code"
You don't even have to go to class. College isn't about learning; it's about having experiences and making connections. The real brainlet move is missing such a great opportunity.

This is the only possible downside.

>>go to parties
>>develop social skills
>>get laid
OP said studying CS, user.

CS literally can't win this one. Half of Veeky Forums claims they're smelly neckbeards, and the other complains they're brainlet normies in on the hype. It doesn't matter.

>he fell for the "go to college for the experience" meme

How well does your real experience compare to the ideal you have presented?

But college really is about the experience. Unless you're studying something like medicine, which requires an actual proximity to the subject you're studying, you can learn everything online now. What college gives you is a more structured body of knowledge, the opportunity to get to know about potential careers and to build contacts (which, unless you're a prodigy that has been studying your subject since at least HS, are needed to get a job).

This. I cringe everytime I see those college movies where life is 80% partying and getting laid. But then again I don't really know what college is like for non-STEM students. Though I doubt it's as they present it to be!

Yes, everything is available online. Why would I go to college when I can teach myself?
>structured body of knowledge
"I like people who tell me what to think."
>opportunity to get to know potential careers
see above
>build contacts
"I like being valued for whom I know rather than what I know."

Enjoy paying for brainwashing. You didn't answer my question, either. How's that concrete experience of "making new friends" and "getting laid" working out for you?

>"I like people who tell me what to think."
More like: "I want to spend my time actually learning stuff, not running after random subjects that might or not be useful for my career. So I choose to follow the curriculum that people more experienced and knowledgeable than me have structured."
Also, how stupid you are that you think that once one gets into college they are doomed to only study what is told to them? If you're not interested in the topic, just study enough so you don't flunk the semester and get a good GPA or something.

>"I like being valued for whom I know rather than what I know."
More like "I'm not a prodigy. I didn't start learning calculus when I was 15, so any effort that I make to be more knowledgeable about something will only help me marginally to get a job (and that's pragmatically useless), because what your average graduate knows is more than enough to start most careers. So I might as well spend my time knowing people that will actually increase the probability of getting a job."

How jaded are you? I hope you're not older than 25.

>How's that concrete experience of "making new friends" and "getting laid" working out for you?
I don't get laid apart from paying escorts. I'm more focused on making money.
You seem to be too focused on having a concrete benefit of going to college that you can't really grasp the actual benefit of having that experience.

Where can I get that chair?

Junior CS undergrad here. I posted because it pretty much reflects my experience.

Most of the undergraduate classes are jokes you can get an A in just by memorizing some basic syntax and libraries. Analysis of algorithms was mildly difficult, but as long as you put the effort in, that's a pretty easy A too. The only class I've gotten worse than a B in was systems, and that's because I straight up didn't do any of the homework.

I don't go to a party every weekend or anything like that; I spend most weekends watching /tv/ with friends and/or on dates, but every month or so I'll get invited to a party by someone I know. Halloween was a lot of fun.

I've had 3 girlfriends so far. The first 2 were batshit crazy and those relationships crashed and burnt, but the sex was good and they both introduced me to people who I still hang out with. The third is genuinely wonderful, and we've been together a year. Sex is still really good.

Right now I'm interviewing for internships at 4 different companies. The job application process was a lot more time-consuming than I thought, but the people at the placement office were really helpful when it came to putting together a good resumé and practicing interview skills.

None of this was hard, you just have to put in the time. Friendships are work. Relationships are work. Getting a job is work. Class is easy, but still time-consuming.

You can do it, user. I believe in you.

>College isn't about learning; it's about having experiences


Only in brainlet american universities.

This won't be the case at a school with a proper CS program.

the problem is when the people who actually have to study believe people like you

then they're in my ta hours 1 day before the final project is due

>he makes threads that a 10 year old would find childish on Veeky Forums
hmmmmm

>memorizing instead of understanding

Brainlet here, currently in a cs 101 course that is so filled with retards it's unnerving the level of their retardness

also heard someone joke "nerve gas" once...omg

>not realizing the CS bubble is literally going to be the first to burst with advent of AI
>not realizing world will literally be filled with unemployable people whose only skill is coding
>literally not realizing

>Not realizing this will happen in every field, not only CS.

Extra meme point awarded for bubble using.

>implying classes are for knowledge and not for degrees
CS is brainlet filled, but you'd fit right in, engineer boy.

You joke but something like this has already happened. When a sperg autist solves a millennium problem no one will be shocked at how they live.
