what is your degree;;;;

[@stephencrawford9511]

Word of advice to new college students looking to go into stem..... The sad truth is that there is always going to be someone out there with a higher GPA and or more experience. You might say right now “Im gonna do CS” and or engineering etc......but you should go into college with a much more open mind, i promise you, your interests are subject to change once you start taking intro classes and major classes. Engineering and CS has a 60%+ drop out rate for a reason and you need to find a way to make yourself special and the time to do it is immediately once you enter college. Its too late after your junior/senior year to make yourself look amazing, you wont stand out more than the next guy/girl. Just always think ahead of your classmates, and also consider that your classmates are your competition once you hit the workforce. Lastly, i just graduated from Penn State with an engineering degree and let me just say, data sciences and analytics is becoming an extremely hot field with high pay. But its hard and youd have to enjoy it, on my list of best degrees, thatd take #1. Good luck to all.

I think the most overrated advices to college students is “pursue a degree in something you like.” Instead, we should tell all college students to “pursue something you’re good at, and you can use the income you made from your degree to do something you like.” If you like art, and you are really good at graphic design, don’t major in Art, major in Graphic Design instead because it’s more lucrative. Let’s face it, the thing we like to do isn’t always going to generate income! If you like Art, and you pursued a degree in Art, you might not even make enough money to sustain your own passion in Art!

Great tip! For my case, I worked full time in the company and as a part time teacher previously. So it is beneficial to have more skillsets. Whether soft or hard skills, and always stay competitive and upgrade yourself. If one day you were not doing what you are doing. And plan on a career switch. It would be much easier as you have something to fall back on. One would also learn more skills and be more self disciplined as handling more school work or jobs has more responsibilities as well. So while one can have a main career path, it's good to diversify as well like what you have stated. And also to be able to know everything about something, and something about everything

[@JBT97]

@@dabsbass7687 I like to think of it as pick 2 out of the 3: be good at it, like doing it, and making a lot of money from it. Pretty much everyone who isn't loaded already will have to pick money for one of the two. You can be good at anything, really, if you dedicate the time for it, even if it seems hard(e.g. learning a language is possible at any age as long as you try). And you don't have to be perfect, just good enough to get a paycheck. As for liking it, you don't have to have a passionate boner for your job. You can relieve yourself in your free time (do what you like outside of work, untied to a paycheck). . . .but ofc, if you can get paid a lot to bust a nut, that would be quite a privilege. As for the imposter syndrome you're feeling, no one knows everything at first. That's what school is for--to learn. Take a class that you think is super hard, and if you retake it, it'll be a breeze. And if you see someone who does know everything, know that their progress isn't yours. Focus on yourself, as that's the only thing that should be important to you.

Fucking preach it! Success in the arts depends on your creative capacity and hard work first and foremost, but everyone that pursues and sees through art education already has those two factors in check (Some more than others, but all definitely have enough to get by in their field). Now, the other, more important factor left then is your connection and prestige, and to build up both of those you need to attend top Universities for your particular field. If you can get all these factors in check and keep on pursuing your passion, success is bound to materialise and follow.

Bro... I've just been in the biggest dilemma of my life with this choice of career thing. I'm currently in the process of transferring to a 4-year, but I don't know what the hell to do. In community college, I was a Business Administration major at first because I wanted to learn about business. Took classes and all and then I thought, "Well if I open a business, what would it be on?" So I started looking into the next big things and stuff like technology and science. I realized that I don't know shit about math or science so I decided to switch my major to engineering because it was a major that had various classes to take so I could know what field to finally set off into (like either electrical engineering, physics, computer science, math, chemistry, etc.) After two years, I was just so overwhelmed with the amount of work in STEM. I could not take the workload in such a short amount of time. It was too stressful and alienating. I had no time for anything. And deadlines really took the fun out of math for me. I believe school is great for disciplining yourself as professionally as possible, but this shit was just weighing me down. After realizing that I spent 6 years in community college, I said FUCK IT! and finished my Business Major and graduated with that because I still had another year and a half of STEM classes. I'm 27 now and barely about to transfer. I have been a Math Tutor for 4 years now and find myself liking math a little more every time I tutor some students. And after some time off from school, while waiting to transfer, I've been with people that just have no mathematical sense and found myself forgetting a lot of math stuff. I felt so dumb and just not up to par with the standards of the digital age. I am passionate about MATH and BUSINESS but I believe you can only be a master of one thing. I want to go to school for business to learn how to do business because I have no experience and I've learned that I take more action for school-related things as opposed to applying the philosophies of self-development/business books every day. I want to go to school for MATHEMATICS also because I believe that I would have a better understanding of the universe around me and develop the left side of my brain more. I've done all the shit: PROS/CONS lists and everything and I just can't seem to know what to pursue. I know that I COULD pursue both majors but end up in hella debt. To anyone here, I'm just asking for some method to help me out. Or if you were in this situation, what would you do? Because I have no idea wtf to do. I just feel like I'll miss out on the beautiful things I could learn from advanced math if I choose business. And I feel like I'll never have that business I want or be that entrepreneur because of the time and dedication to learn and teach math.

I make good money but it's a hustle and no matter WHERE you go people skills and friendships are key. If you stink at public speaking or have social anxiety you need to develop coping strategies or your career prospects will stall without a way to advance if you need more money later on.

[@SJ-qd7hm]

I'm not trying to imply that you made a wrong choice (if you love it, pursue the field!), but I do think it is important to point out that the demand for pharmacists (in the US) has drastically decreased over the past few years to the point where the field is considered to be oversaturated. If you do a little research on r/pharmacy, SDN, or even google "pharmacist demand" you will see more evidence about what I'm talking about. In addition, working conditions for retail pharmacy can be pretty poor (NY Times published an article about the working conditions in retail pharmacy and a lot of pharmacists in the comments have been confirming their experiences). I don't necessarily want to scare or discourage you pursuing from the field, but as a fellow pharmacist, I think it's important that all pharmacy students be at least aware about this stuff.

Same, I also have an offer with an amazing aerospace company with an Electro-Mechanical engineering degree. I don't know what Shane is on, but personally I think mechanical engineering is much, much more lucrative and applicable than he thinks it is. Engineering degrees are so valuable, there are so many different paths you can take with an engineering degree, and mechanical engineers are always in demand. I don't think Shane quite grasps how valuable a mechanical engineering degree is, especially when mechanical engineers understand electronics and electrical engineering.

[@abigail5762]

I hear that. I became a mechanical engineering major because I wanted the ability to have a major that’s more wide ranged. Instead of choosing something like aerospace engineering where it’s more hard set what you do after college. With mechanical you can change your mind late in the game of the specifics you want to do and it’s ok.

Girl, take a moment to think about your math teacher. 90% of the time, you don't suck at math, it's your shitty teacher. Do you have a good teacher? If not, self teaching is easier than one might think. I have a few tips: Of course you've heard that you should practice a lot, but remember to practice in a circle manner. Like, do radians then do trig then do variation then do radians again. -Have a notebook where you write down how to do each type of math, just once in a clear way. -When you do silly mistakes, just write a little note next to your mistake. This works, idk how. -don't try to actively memorise formulas, just practice a lot. You'll remember them. -Have a sheet of paper glued to your desk, filled with formulas. Look at it everytime you do math. -Read your math textbook like you'd read any other textbook. The examples the little text bubbles are all really helpful. -girl, no one sucks at math. -you can do this

Engineers do NOT have job security for life. My uncle the Silicon Valley engineer got laid off during the dot com bust and was unemployed for two years. My mom bailed him out, even though she was only a librarian. I got a degree in computer science in the '90's, thinking it would be a meal ticket for life. But what is computer science? A field of knowledge that is obsolete by the time you have mastered it. Almost nothing I learned in school is still relevant. I am in my fifties now and have been unable to get an IT job for the last two years. Also, tech jobs are increasingly being outsourced. If you are a software engineer making a six figure salary, I guarantee you there is some smart guy in India who will do your job for ten dollars an hour, and it is only a matter of time before your employer figures this out.

You must keep doing certificates, keep up to date on programming languages, etc. You want to know why his uncle didn’t get rehired? Because be didn’t keep up to date on stuff. Might be a bit harsh, but it’s the truth. Same as him. High school teaches you nothing, college doesn’t teach you much ether for Computer science. However, it’s 2021. You can learn Python, C++, C#, Html, etc for free. You can do personal projects to put in your portfolio to separate you from other people. A college degree is the hoop you have to get through, but once you jump through it, there is MANY hoops you have keep doing. That’s just the way life is. However, if you -Know your shit whenever it comes to CS -are a likable, enjoyable person -have great communication skills You will get a job. This thing he is saying about some guy from India taking your jobs, that will be for the lower level programming jobs that you don’t even want to do. There is no chance that a company like Amazon, or any start up for that matter, would hire a Software Engineering Manager who barely speaks English.

Here is how you survive... keep tabs of your employer’s financial health. Compute revenue per employee and compare it against competitor companies. If the company is not making money, eventually, something will happen. It is always better to leave at your terms. Never be caught lying. Read and internalize the “7 Habits of Effective People”. Work more hours than your peers...BUT... only do so if you are learning a new skill. If you are finding something that is repetitive, automate it by coding (learn Python). Choose to learn skills that will be useful even if you are laid off. If you cannot get along with your immediate manager, look for lateral move. Be positive and have a sense of humor. In your immediate group... always make sure there is at least one person less productive than yourself (hopefully HE/SHE will get laid off... not you). Do not fear failure it is how you learn. Only be annoying if end up always right all the time... otherwise, just stop being annoying. Try to do favors to as many people as you can... this is how your reputation is established. It is always harder to lay off someone who is reputed to be well liked.
