This fucking sucks. >inb4 retard I know. I should’ve stuck with my initial degree choice (compsci) but I changed it to comm when I realized the math was interfering with my social life. Now I’m going to be 30 barely finishing something that I should’ve done long ago.
Seriously (although this is probably common knowledge) DO NOT get a degree in anything else other than a STEM field, unless you have a very specific passion for it.
Computer sciene is soul crushing, inhumane (I study it)
It made me hate all technology. Good thing I have about $300k worth of crypto I just might make it in the next bullrun and don't actually have to do this shit for living. Just wasting my time at the school at the moment
I.fucking.hate.computers
Dominic Gray
It sucks but you're doing good. Better than staying stagnant and not doing anything.
Xavier Jenkins
Its ok op. You do have at least 10k link right ?
Liam Thompson
Piggybacking off of OP to any future stem engineers: get a fucking coop or internship or else you will be like me, someone with a degree but in a completely different field because of lack of experience. Dont fall for the get an engineering degree and you'll find work meme.
Eli Cooper
normie getting what he deserves
your best bet is to make it, then not work
Christopher Stewart
Similar here. Didn't go to uni, dropped out twice. Worked full time in retail position for 6 years.
25 now. Luckily, I invested all that I earned into Link in 2018 which got me a 30k stack along with 1 btc which i already had. so as long as Link moons i'll be more than fine
Matthew Gonzalez
you have $180k in crypto lol I'd say you're doing much better than any 25yo I know dude.

Red pill me on a career in IT/ Cybersecurity?
I was thinking about not attending school and just grinding out IT certifications and a position as a help desk dumbass. I’ve been reading that IT/Cybersecurity is the way to go nowadays if you don’t have a degree, because you can just earn certifications and experience, AND almost every single company needs people in that line of work.
I’ve been researching it a bit lately and it seems like an awesome career
Yeah but obviously being a drop out, and working entry level retail society views me as a loser
and it's not like i can cash this out. i'm pretty much commited to chianlink reaching at least 100$ before i can potential retire, with no backup plan.
Whatever. i just carry on for now, keep it quiet.
Ayden Hernandez
Let me tell you something you fucking retard. Computer Science is soul crushing. I thought I do it for the money as well. It worked 3 semesters, untill I was so depressed, that I kept on failing all my classes over and over again. I crushed my teeth at night, because I hated it. If you have no passion for it, then don't even fucking start. Nobody needs some below average or average Computer Science graduate. You are competing with literal autists, who are coding in their free time and do so already for years. So You would have to do projects on your own as well. Or you are a diversity hire (read: nigger, chink, woman) Other than that, your chances are very limited. The math classes and all the bullshit you learn is fucking useless. Anyway, if you really want to do it and love it, then go for it. Good luck.
>Red pill me on a career in IT/ Cybersecurity? Also I am currently aiming for this, as it at least is somewhat interesting. If you can prove that you are good and show certificates, then it's not bad either. You could also go down the bug bounty hunter route. But it's something, which gets harder and harder.
tl;dr: Only do what you love
Ethan Rogers
Yep, definitely don't do something for the money. I'm lucky to have a career that I enjoy even if it doesn't pay so well.
Find something you enjoy - e.g. sucking nigger cock.

Am supposed to rush towards CPA after grad but said no and wanted to work AR/AP in a small company first. Hated some of it, liked some of it but it the end it made me feel so empty. Quit rn and an just doing some thinking of whether I should just do my CPA and wage cuck in some firm.
It's ok to say you finished something you didn't like. But I'm always correct myself when I believe I should have done something else. In the end only you can calm yourself down to being in that happy state.
William Mitchell
That's because you're in the wrong field. Some people enjoy computer science and it isn't soul crushing.
Anthony Allen
Just buy link.
Michael Williams
It's fucking retarded. Computers have ruined this fucking world
Who the fuck can have a passion for optimizing database searches? You have to be a literal, retard autist to find "passion" in such thing, it is not even passion, you must hate life and nature and arts to actually enjoy "WE GOT THIS DATABASE 0.1NANOSECONDS FASTER THAN IT WAS BEFORE BY OPTIMIZING IT"
It's.fucking.autism
Evan Miller
very well said
Kevin Brown
I worked with a guy who did the same thing. I even told him that a communications degree was gonna be worth fuck all when he was just starting school. He didnt listen.
Logan Brooks
You do realize we need optimization in databases where there are billions of entries, right? Luckily, mathfags already figured a ton of shit out and you just have to code it. The passion comes from manipulating a machine to achieve your desired result. It comes from figuring out creative solutions to problems you have. School prepares you with the mental tools to be able to figure shit out later instead of a head scratcher boot camp graduate with no formal mathematical training.

>next bull run Ahahahahahahah ohhh oh oh. So deluded. Get a job loser hahahahahah
I'm so fucking sick of it. Everywhere I go I see people with smartphones, fucking tik tok teens and fucking smartphone, smart carts in a shart mart fucking automated piece of shit inhumanity system of some fucking antichrist. Fucking 5g towers blackening the sky and what else
I have to get out. I don¨'t want to hear the word "crypto" ever again, I just want out to live normal life before everything went to shit and people stare at these fucking black boxes 24/7
Cooper Lopez
>degree in communication ngmi bro
Owen Turner
Honestly optimization is one of the funnest activities in software, assuming you have correct tools and skills. The problem is that you're too stupid for this area. Don't optimize by 1%, find the opportunities for 10x improvements and make a business impact.
Lincoln Ross
You would complain if your Zig Forums page took 10sec to load because no one was smart enough to do that job. The technology Autist is the only reason we have mastered nature: good food for all, air travel, movies and games; all rely on tractors, or planes or 3D models. Almost everything good in history is thanks to an autist. Just admit that you're an instict-driven NPC, and sit in your corner while the real humans create the means to travel to mars
>Just admit that you're an instict-driven NPC, and sit in your corner while the real humans create the means to travel to mars
This is exactly the logic what I am talking about
Why the hell you would want to go there in the first place? Mine some fucking minerals?
You people literally are fucking insane

>you must hate life and nature and arts Agree completely. All my friends who are compsci claim they appreciate aesthetics. Bring them to any art gallery or museum and they get upset/uncomfortable. Their brains are wired different.

3D modeling is very artistic. Don't bring us down with your autism.
Aiden Mitchell
>Tfw 28 with a Math degree >Tfw make 68k with bonuses just to make basic brainlet queries for big Insurance.
This. I did research and two internships and am sitting pretty on a mid-level engineering job right out of college. It’s worth it to get practical experience they’ll choose you over grades artists every time. I had a 2.7 gpa and fren had 3.9 and I make 20k more.

You're still in your 20's user. Don't stress about it, too early in the game for regrets. You have a goal and are willing to work towards it - that puts you in a position to build something upon. The competition is with yourself, don't pay too much heed to how other peoples careers progress- focus on what you are going for, stay dedicated and make smart decisions, success will follow.
I spent my 20's doing a variety of work in many different industries (not building a career just experiencing different roles), travelled about, made poor choices, made mistakes, they were my choices at the time and I own them. In my 30's I went back to college to study IT while working part-time, competed with people 10 years younger than I for entry level work, got a start and have developed my career to where I am now in a senior IT infrastructure role.
You can achieve many things if you clearly define your goals and keep them focused in your mind. Considering my experience I find that there are some choices that I could have made different, some outcomes that I might have preferred but that is just a pity not regret.
William Garcia
For profit retard and to conquer new untamed lands. The same reason why we found America. Pick up a book and learn some critical thinking skills zoomie.
Fuck what society thinks. That's what making it's all about; doing the opposite of what society expects and getting out on top anyway. And btw, chainlink is definitely going to $100. Enjoy your $3 million you maniac.
