The College Thread

Question for my STEM brehs, programmers to be more specific

What tools do you guys use beside books to help you out when it comes to making your own cook.
Something like Chegg, but not like Chegg cause I used them before

Basically have a dilemma and need some unbiased opinion from my coli brehs. left out some details as i dont want to expose myself.

*i live in Europe so some things you might suggest might not apply to me*

So im in my 3 of 4 year in college studying an IT/business related degree at a good college and have to go work as an intern during my second semester this year. I was lucky enough to land an unskilled job at one of the top 4 tech companies as a contractor working nights 6-2am and im basically earning graduate money right now and i do this while going college during the day. the job is super easy and the environment could not be better no joke free sacks and food everyday however im not learning anything as the job is unskilled and im not using anything from my degree. The company is expanding in the city so i hope to be able to slide into one of the proper jobs later, already slid into one of the college recruiters email.


when searching for an internship we do it through my college long story short the people with good grades(mine were ok) are getting picked up for interviews left and center while people like me are getting left to the . The jobs are also mostly minimum wage



should i pick situation A or b?

A: Stay at the current company stack my money while improving my programming skills in my own time and also graduate college potentially debt free and potentially switch over to a permanent employee with a proper position later

B:Hope i land a good internship where i can learn something and actually use what i have been learning and take the money loss for now.



already asked my family and im getting different opinions but i want to hear unbiased opinions

Basically you need a full time schedule all year to have your financial aid. Full time is 12 credit hours.
Did you drop classes without realizing this?
Did they give options to you where you can write them where you can convince them to give you back the money?
Might have to get a loan.

I'm doing fine in my classes.
But I don't care fam. It's decided I'm switching to a English related major
I realized I hate computer classes with a passion. One class required me to do coding and I'm like fukk I hate this shyt. So I withdrew from that.
I realize I love reading and I basically post on forums all day because I love to express myself.
Why not go into stuff related to that where I can write?
only thing is.. My school has a big focus on their students being teachers and everyone keeps asking me do I want to be a teacher.
Like hell no fukk that shyt.

Like I keep getting mixed advice... I keep getting reactions that say but people who work with computers work with a lot of money.
Then I hear go to school to learn what you love.

I'm in the same boat as you except I'm Computer Science thinking about switching to a Math major. I'm taking my first programming class and I haven't been feeling it but I've also been working 50+ hours a week So I haven't had the time to really focus on it. I think Imma at least try it for one semester though because like people are telling you the jobs right now do seem to be in Tech/computers

that's the thing tho. It offers a lot of money which is why people say go into it. but if you don't love it and in result its you are not even the best at what you do. Basically you are average who just barely started to understand the concepts. Then why stay in it?
If my ass gonna be in debt I'm gonna focus on something I want to do damn it.

Do any of you breh & brehettes use nootropics to help study? If not what are your studying habits for assured high grades? I swear I see people say they getting A/A- in STEM subjects. Meanwhile my Business degree got me singing the blues.

Bruh, situation A and it ain't even close. Graduating debt free is such a massive boost one's financial independence. I can't underline that enough.

I don't understand. What's hard about leaving Devry?

Besides loans nothing. But I'm trying to decide if going back to school or just learning on my own then getting my certs is better.

My advice is don't. Liberal Arts majors, especially English, are getting slayed out in the job market.

 

[Balla]

I was going to go to school for this too because I'm terrible in math. After hearing this everywhere, I have no idea what to do.
