Hi I am an incoming freshman from NYC and I am wondering if I am bringing two big luggage, do I need to buy two tickets?

how can I connect with you on LinkedIn? Thank You.

Great Post. You demonstrated great courage in telling it like it is and sharing your experience at CMU, especially about your mental health environment after spending too long studying, without being able to enjoy life by chilling out. I'm sure that you inspired others to think that their similar experience at CMU or other learning institutions, was validated. Life is far too short to stress out doing the things you love doing. It's important to be able to learn at your own pace. You may not win any awards, but at least you will have your health and happiness. That's what counts in the long term.

I am studing information technology in monash and it is much worse than cmu though still too hard for me to pass the courses. But I still try to finish it due to i could get a well paid job and easier to get a PR😢. There is no time to relax yourself during studing IT. My parents are employee so I have don't think economy or accounting useful for me. My mother language is chinese, so I is too hard to study ARTS to do the pre readings😢.

i had the same experience with chime today :(

Nice I miss Flushing

Jesus loves you!! Accept him today!!!

Which major did you end up graduating with? Also if you don’t have a CS major, on you r resume its fine to put just all the technical skills? That gets you the interviews?

Is CMU offering Software engineering degree?

Can you tell us a bit about your experience in taking IS at CMU and how is the job prospect outlook.

Your audio could be louder.👍

Lol none the classes you showed at the start that you dropped were CS all like IS or stats or Stu co or writing lmao

Thank you for your honest & very insightful review about double majoring in CS at CMU !!

Great honest assessment. Truth is not always easy to say. Good job.

Please don’t use the word “retarted” in that context. It is highly offensive and ableist. Thanks

9:00 bro you are wrong ! You can’t learn anything on your own , yes you can but the time period will be 5-10x , exams puts you in constrain

6:40 us bro us

he let the intrusive thoughts win

Thank you for being so honest and transparent with your school journey. I’m sure you are going to make a great life. You seem to be a very insightful young man. You will be very successful because you have honored yourself.

for me i choose to major in IT since i knew CS is 100% not for me since it didnt really interest me and we are basically learning the same classes except for a few exceptations

Hey I love the energy of the video but please don't use the r word as another word for stupid/unable to understand something ok bye

Tech can burn you out if your not careful. Work and education wise. And guess what? I am a hard core engineer and a lot of my managers dont have to do any hard tech work at all and make almost as much as me. So i guess they majored in easy major and got the last laugh 😂😂😂

As a full time employee in another career and being a parent, I made a big mistake taking on an accelerated CS Degree online. I knocked out the intro courses relatively easy, knocked out Calc 1 and Calc 2. Discrete Math 1 wasn’t too bad, but discrete math II is a nightmare. Compounded by the stress of limited time with my job, kids, and my dog battling with cancer 😢. I’m retaking my final this week. But extended Euclidean Algorithms, Big O estimates, worst case analysis, counting techniques with probabilities, recursive functions, RSA keys and cryptology, the stuff is not easy like most forms of math. Discrete math isn’t intrinsic to me at all. I’m gonna keep grinding but at 42 years old running off 3 hours of sleep at night is grinding me down.

I didn’t see UC Davis on that list. CS was still difficult for most there. I wouldn’t do it again. All I learned from CS was that I didn’t want to program after college. I hated how difficult it became. At least the foundation in math and stats still helped me a bit.

i think thats most STEM majors. you will come across those who wanna pursue PhD and they are SOOOOOO much better than you at that subject

Discrete is so hard and the text books are so vague, it’s really aimed at math majors

You should have gone to CPU.

The large amount of people I see that try to escape the stress of computer science by using external unhealthy coping mechanisms is insane to me. The call is coming from inside of the house.. The stress given to people who are just doing a job is crazy. The culture is very toxic and unwarranted

CS is Useless. Choose Coding Boosting Camp.

Why does he keep saying a lot of us just because he is a quitter and he quit so he's looking for ways of feeling less like a quitter and so he's only looking at the people that also quit 😂😂 Although I do agree with his decision based off of everything else he described

30 year computer programmer. Where are all of these geniuses that graduate with honors? Everywhere I worked, including IBM, I seem to be the only one cranking out the work. I was usually alone at 3 AM, resolving critical customer issues. But, when it came time to discuss current issues, college graduates had great memories. They would spew textbook answers from their college days. Would not believe me, until I showed them current documentation. Code development: Copy first. Steal second. Buy third. Write your own code, last. Or, work for NASA. Write one line of code a day. Thoroughly test it. Then move on.

英文真好

Just like Math, Coding/Programming should be something that is assumed in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, etc). Maybe currently Engineers are not good programmers but it is easier for an Engineers to learn programming (or to outsource it) than for a Computer Scientists to know what it is being solved with the programming required.

Thank you for the video.

Its okay, not everyone can handle it!

CS is oversaturated to oblivion. Idk why you asians and Desi keep going for it

I'm taking cs at a community college. A lot cheaper and you learn the same introductory stuff. I'm taking data structures and discrete structures rn. I think I'm actually pretty alright at coding so far. But I definitely have to start studying cus I'm one of those ppl that procrastinates for days and then tries to cram everything an hour before an exam. It still works for coding related classes cus my studying is rlly just doing the labs and projects. That's when I play around with stuff and rlly learn the material so I don't have to study for a test, just look over how to use correct syntax. As I begin to learn about more complex structures tho, I have to do it more than once for it to rlly stick. And I rlly struggle with making myself do shit, which is why I don't self study, but it'd be great if I did

saddens me that not much has changed since my years there.

I was watching CMU CompArc class while I was driving and was super into it… my gf was melting in the passenger seat and she likes computer but was dying at min 30

Bill Gates was a businessman, not a coder.

Cheaper to invest in tech or crypto,or launch a software business.

Perfect example of biting off more then you can chew and then complaining that there is too much food in your mouth.

I really appreciate this video. It confirms what I’ve been thinking. Seems like information systems jobs are easier brut still pay well. I got into a create your own degree program and it allowes me to cherry pick my classes.. we want to make a living but we want to be happy. And we want to learn but we don’t want to be isolated totally from society.

Aww, you lived in New House! I was there the first year the dorm opened '04 - '05 - looks like you may have been SHS too :) Good on you for knowing your interests and limits at such an early stage of your life!!! Speaking from half a lifetime later, I promise you that this display of wisdom on your part is worth more than the CS degree :)

The problem with the American higher education system is that we do not separate out vocational training from academic training. The purpose of undergraduate programs is to prepare you for graduate programs. They're theoretical by design. They're not designed to prepare you for a career per se. That's where vocational training should be deployed. To explicitly prepare you for start working at a job on day one. If you want a career as a software engineer, you should attend a vocational training academy.

“Machine Learning is just math” You have much to learn young grasshopper, everything deeply interesting and mysterious in tech is just math ❤

😂 I feel this

You know CS is no joke when an Asian guy told you it's really difficult
