Your age

Jesus christ, is there anyone on this board over 25

>I want old men, who're slow like me!
Sorry gramps, this board is for the champs.

22.
Pharmacology
Love it, doing interesting cancer research work

26
biochemistry/biophysics
i enjoy it or i wouldnt be here, it's exceptionally boring for people not interested in it

>probably the goat

Pchembois 2017

Where you studying?

...

University of Liverpool, course is pretty decent. Wh-what about you baka

19
Computer Engineering
Love it. Some useless prereqs at my uni though

19
CS / math

Didn't think I'd survive data structures but it looks like I'm going to come out okay. Calc 3 hasn't been easy either but I've been studying a bunch for the final coming up and feel pretty confident

Next semester is when my specialization classes finally start so I'm looking forward to it.

20
Microbiology
I find it pretty dull, so I ended up specialising in parasitic worms which isn't exactly microbiology

12
your mom
could be better

25
Medicine
It pays well but its a shit job.

Are you still in med school or a resident?
It'll get much better once you get your proper license

NO FUCKING JOBS

Chemistry (Mixed pedigree. Trained as bioinorganic, now am analytic-ish)

It's the best I could have ever hoped for. Turned down three job offers before choosing what I was excited about. Still planning on grad school too. Never stop rising, always choose the central science (or ChemE).

What's your starting and current pay? How is your work place? Did you find it difficult getting a job?

Current starting salary is 44k, was offered 48k for another job but turned it down (both have full benefits too). I know several people from the same chemistry program who's first jobs all paid about as much. We all have chem BAs and just graduated.

Finding a job was somewhat difficult. I benefited from using online resources and spamming my resumes as much as possible for several months before graduation. I also attended conferences and called universities to see if they needed support staff in their science departments.

I will need to get a higher degree to raise my wage (unless I stay at my current job for a decade and get scheduled promotions, then I'll earn more no matter what.) I just want a job for a year to save some money and pay off loans before diving into grad school.

Work is good. I was science support staff for a bit after graduation which was fun but dumb. Now I'm back doing bench work and more challenged.

25
math
love it

25
nothing
I think dropping out was inevitable as social mobility is almost illegal.

What a lovely image, godspeed user.

>Biomedical science
>Fucked for employment if don't make med school

philosophy
awesome

Why?

but why?

18. Aerospace.

So far, I enjoy the math courses a lot. I'm at CC so I haven't started any of the real engineering related courses yet but I'm into it.

Just took an astronomy class for fun. The shit you guys do is really cool.

Kek

19
CS, might do math as well
I really like it so far, can't wait to get to the good shit that is ML and ANNs later tho.

21
Organic Chemistry
Enjoying it so far

Thanks, it's from Montana.

This is from the peak:

22
Physics
It is a mixed feeling of happiness and fucked up.

25, just finished civil engineering Bs, starting a comfy job in construction management in a month.
thinking of maybe going into acoustics even though I'm not sure how fun it is to work in it

call mods

26
Media science.
It's fun as long as you avoid the complementary gender study courses, but entirely useless. I'm too dumb to study something worthwhile and too lazy to do manual labor or a minimum wage job.

LOL

29
Anything involving information technology
What have I done

>your age
18

>your field of study
Computer science with cognitive science specialization.

>what you think of it
I really enjoy the human mind, how mysterious it is, and trying to understand how we are as intelligent as we are.

I mostly did the computer science part because I felt like I might have a higher chance of getting a job. I honestly find programming immensely tedious and entirely uninteresting.

23 in 2weeks

Final year EE major.

Meh, in it for the money

19
Biology
I really really really don't want to be a higschool teacher

20
business informatics (IT/CS and business hybrid)
pretty cool, though accounting is one of the most boring shit i've ever dealt with, ever.

>19

> Theoretical physics

> I basically live for this shit

this desu

20
actuary and computer science

i dunno, not going great, things are going downhill and not sure what to do

this board is filled with kids, i guess this is why this board have such toxic topics and replies

>20
>Geology
Geology is the bee's knees, it's still a primarily field-based science so you're out in cool places, lots of economic applications and opportunities for employment, pretty interdisciplinary if you also like physics, chemistry, or the environment.

They also party harder than all other disciplines

it's cool but it's exhausting tb.h

Nursing

Competitive but rewarding

>18, 19 in ~1:37
>Electrical Engineering
I think i would find mechanical more interesting and maybe more intuitive but my dad was in EE so he did his best to convince me to go into that. My classes aren't going well so it's hard to like EE right now, i feel like i might just be burnt out after being in the educational system for 14 years and working the summer after last year's engineering transfer program.

Reminder that no one actually enjoys Computer Science.

28
CompE
its awesome

god damn looking at this thread just reminds me that i really need to leave this place. im finally getting phd so i hope next year i can move on with my life. i mean i left between 2012-2015 but ended up coming back but i need to leave for good

22
physics with linguistics for fun on the internet
love physics and i love linguistics and would spend a good portion of my life studying both
would ideally like to go to grad school for physics though as i like it more

You're unironically here forever.

Happy 19th, user

Someone sounds salty

>Getting a job with a BA in chem
h-how? where iam you NEED an MD to get a job

20

Software/Comp. Engineering

Should've went with medicine.

33
Earth science
Pretty good. Whilst others have trouble finding jobs, my biggest issue is that I can't decide between the job offers that I have.

21
Medicine
I will make lots of monies and will get to cut open the bodies of living people (and get more money for it). Give me a better profession!

Unfortunately, I am still a depressed sack of shit. It's been hard to keep things going on lately. I doubt that I would be much happier doing maths -- What I actually wanted to do.

This is correct

>18
>Mass food production technology
>Its alright

how many times do we need to teach you this lesson old man?

23
CS
Great fun. Straight into a grad role and I get paid 5k more than anyone I know who did physics/maths for the simplest job: software
"""engineering"""

yeah you probably won't be doing that until masters in the us.

Just start now, its hella easy/intersting at the start

34
PhD in Organic Chemistry (graduated)
>Great job security and decent salary for a non-engineering STEM field.
>Get to do science all day long.
>Can call myself a Doctor, even though everyone will assume MD and I don't get paid as much as an MD. I mostly just joke around with it.
>Everyone knows I'm smarter than they are, which is usually true. Can troll MD's because they think they know O-Chem and they really only know the most basic things.
>Make pharmaceuticals so I have an inside edge in stock trading. Probably very illegal, but doubtful they'll ever go after me, not like I'm making millions...

19
ECE
I like it so far. Useful and fascinating.

>social mobility is almost illegal
What country do you live in?

>media science
>"""science"""

32
Ethnoecology, biodiversity and geopolitics, started my career researching interactions between plant-insects communities in riparian corridors and associated aquatic communities in the Orinoco river basin. Now I document natural resource conflicts.
I've seen some shit, you people don't live a real life. death

24
CS
Interesting, and I feel quite powerful. Tons of job opportunities here.Might give me some time to do my passion on the side...

Wassup field bros.

CompE>CS, you aren't my field bro

Soon 27
Mathematical Statistics
Pic related is how I feel about the field and life in general

30
Electrical Engineering ( masters )
Waste of my time, but thank heavens i didnt accept the PhD program offer.

If youre not making millions then whats the use of your insider knowledge mate

22

HPC and numerical analysis. Really great field, combines all my interests: math, programming, physics.

Making smart investment choices for my and my families future?

If I make millions I might come under suspicion of insider trading and go to jail. Doesn't sound like much fun, mate.

29
CS
Its a "good job" but soul crushing. Should have stayed poor and done something else.

24
Computer Science
I like it but money is tight so I need to find a job to pay my tuition fees next year. What sucks is how many people is already ahead of me but I can't compare myself to them every time.

21
physics
fun but tiring

29
Computational Neuroscience
Fucking love it

>CompE>CS
explain this

ahead of you in what way?

i don't really feel like it but the tl;dr version is that it includes hardware, real-world constraints, and actual engineering curriculum (there are no BAs in CompE for example). CSfags don't know how computers work, just how to use them for some things

weird, complete opposite in my country. CE is just for software engineering whereas CS encapsulates every aspect of computation.
by BA you mean bachelor of arts? We have IT degrees for that

should mention I have a degree in CS and people that failed out of CS were offered a place in a CE course.

i'm talking about in the US

>CE is just for software engineering
from what i understand many countries do this because there are literally no hardware jobs there, but anyone can get into software

>CS encapsulates every aspect of computation
i seriously doubt this, but could be wrong. you take VLSI, FPGA design, etc, in a CS program?

>by BA you mean bachelor of arts
yes, many schools have BA in CS with easier requirements

what country?
