I did engineering but had to take a programming class and liked that a lot more so I switched. Only part of engineering I really like was the physical building of things, and I can get that in woodworking on the side.

It's not necessarily. Most engineers are really boring intellectually and otherwise.

when you work with pharmaceuticals, i know you can either be a chemist who synthesizes stuff, you can be one who records certain methods to find new and more productive means of creating these chemicals, or you can even really work in the food industry and make certain extracts. its kinda cool playing around with that stuff in lab, the stickler is the paper work. even pharmacy, like just filling out prescriptions, might sound monotonous but i have a few friends that are glad they have a relaxing job with hardly any kind of problems. you basically get the scripts done and thats it. hard to fuck up counting and with new technology its hard to even accidentally cross bad meds. i like writing but it doesnt pay the bills, and paying the bills, even though i dont like it, is a huge part of almost anyones life. i really wish more people would find love in both fields.

This. Majority of engineer do not read literature.

its a good career. trade school is now going to be a huge thing. eventually that will fall apart probably in the same fashion that regular college did.

I don't wish I chose a different degree. I started off as a film major and I'm glad I switched out before the damage was done. I wasn't eusocial enough to network (which is really all that art degrees are good for), and I know too many people saddled with humanities degrees who can't get by.

I do wish I'd worked harder in high school and made it into an elite university so I could major in whatever I wanted, but what's done is done. I get by alright and have four hours a day to read and write. I've published a couple short stories and am working on something longer.

Overall I'm happy with my decision. Sometimes I imagine what it would be like to have a more rigorous and academic understanding of literature, but honestly I've seen the people churned out of those programs and I believe I have a comparable level of knowledge, and oftentimes a more sincere interest in literature. I took a couple literature courses in college and didn't really like them, though having an excuse to read good books was nice. The amount of focus placed on in-class discussions is totally unreasonable IMO.

Math

You are objectivity less intelligent than someone interested in my mom’s ass. It comes down to one’s ability to survey the current sociological landscape. This is a prime area of development for younger children throughout their time in pre-college schooling. Children interested in developing deep understanding are far more likely to choose majors with rigor. My guess is, you fall in this category. You quickly realized a problem with the original user’s post, but your reply did not trace through all the logic. You stopped halfway. You stopped shy of deep understanding. My sister would shit on your life anyway. Maybe you like the abuse; you like getting shat on. This is a trait of someone who can’t discern shit from gold. I bet you smoke weed and play videogames.

>amount of focus on in class discussions is totally unreasonable

Can you elaborate? What type of discussions and why they were unreasonable?

Its about perspective actually. Yes a smooth, easy going job is a plus point, but monotony, and lack new challenges is a minus too.
Although there are other advantages. If paycheck is good, you can pursue literature ambitions on sides and a monotonous job helps with that.

Well when I took a class on Shakespeare's tragedies, for example, most of the lecture time was spent discussing our reactions to what we'd read. The professor would highlight a few key passages and ask us what WE thought this meant, or how WE interpreted X etc.

It's not so much that asking students to comment on a passage is unreasonable, but the format of a group discussion is IMO shallow and overly social. The way the discussions go tend to depend on whomever is the loudest speaker or the most aggressive. It's also not so much dependent on one's ability to come up with compelling argument but rather on one's ability to give a compelling performance of an argument.

What I really preferred were essays, where you're judged on yes your ability to come up with a compelling argument, along with your ability to organize your thoughts and arrange them in a coherent way. Group discussions are extremely impulsive and unedited, and too tied to social nuance for my liking.

not that anont but STEMfag here, pursuing a degree in english lit.
it doesn't matter so much what you pair it with as it does the kind of person you are. you don't need two humanities degrees unless that's what you really want. you're going to be quite poor for a while though, probably. i got an a.s. to ensure that i could take care of myself financially, and i can, before pursuing the arts. i live alone and make more than enough money to get by, but i also love working with my hands so that works out for me.
point being, don't first pursue your interests, first pursue putting food on the table and a roof over your head, by whatever means are accessible and you can excel in.
believe me, you're too young to properly digest most of what you'd like to. i'm still learning that. use your formative years to become a capable, versatile, and experienced person while maintaining your literary interests on your own time. kids jumping straight into literature with no life experience is half of what's wrong with the humanities today anyway.

It's pretty interesting. I like the idea of observing decisions and determining causes and effects. I'm actually in ROTC, so I'll be joining the army after college, so my career outlook in the short term has little to do with my degree. After that I might get a PhD or something, but that's a ways out. I started school as a business major but that was gonna make me kill myself. Economics probably has less career stability than accounting, but I'd still change if I were you. Best of luck.

I find it to be a superficial field of study and lawyers are insufferable. Law is only the byproduct of things (very much like a fart) which are far worthier of study (history, science, economics, etc), lawyers only conceive the world through law (therefore their view is a superficial one) and never question their own attitude or their knowledge. The archetypical lawyer would look like Ben Shapiro, his essence is mere talk and that's about it. I think it was a huge waste of time that amounted to nothing profiteable to me in terms of knowledge except make me hireable and earn a nice pay (which I do not care about anymore).
if science "doesn't think" then what did Heidegger thought of lawyers? It's the most mindless field there is.

I worked in accounting for 4 years after school and I truly hated it. Its soulless work because it requires zero creativity and there is no tangible output to your work. There are different areas within accounting but essentially you're reporting on activity that has already happened. And a lot of the times you report this information because you have to, it's not even incredibly useful to the business because the finance department will keep track of their own costs and ratios and they ultimately have a say in the future of the business. Sure they will corroborate their numbers with accounting. So often with accounting you're dealing with arbitrary regulatory reporting that doesn't have much practical use for the business and you're working a lot of hours to do it. You'll get paid good and they'll buy you beer sometimes. You'll learn a lot about the business and about professionalism. But it's a soft, safe spot to be in

What state are you in? New York state environmental law enforcement get way more bucks than the feds. State Park Police, Environmental Conservation Police, Forest Rangers. There's basically no fed land in NY.

Sorry for the late reply I was asleep.

To put it simply, every situation is different and there are numerous variables which can constitute you having a good or a bad experience. That said, my time has been overall very good.

It depends a lot on whether you want to do this for a couple of years after university or if it's a possible career move. I was only planning on staying for 2 years but I'm now in my 4th year on this contract and I intend to study further to get actual teaching qualifications.

There's a lot of information out there on ESL teaching. My advice is to research your potential company/school thoroughly and make sure it's not a scam. If you wanted to get a TEFL, then 120 hours is a minimum. Look into something called a CELTA too, and see if it's for you.

Hope that helps user!

I mean, I'm kind of starting off decently compared to my peers in the industry, but it pigeonholes me so much into pretty much one career in a degree that doesn't tell much of intellectual curiosity, while other degrees can sell you off as a generalist who can analyze and have more skills.

What kind of career do you even pursue with a journalism degree? I'm serious, seeing as there are only so many websites and papers out there. I'm not being negative either, it's a skill I would probably enjoy learning.

Besides the journalism and media industry, there's technical writing, grant/proposal writing, PR, and marketing off the top of my head. Pretty much no one encourages you to go into journalism lately because a good deal of the opportunities dried up and the pay still remains shit as a whole.

Sounds like professions that would all value an English degree just the same. What would a journalism student bring to the table that an English student doesn't? Who are the journalists you see as doing good work these days?

Also, Outer Dark was a dark book (who would have thought?). I've read everything by McCarthy. Suttree will take you a minute but you must read it if you haven't already, really is worth it.

Disgusting. I really don't understand how people like you are able to
live with yourselves and not implode from shame.

If you approach mathematics with that attitude you'd be way better off finding a different field.
If you really want to learn mathematics, you should kindle a genuine appreciation for it first. Pick up some pop-math books and learn to love it for the big ideas. Gamow's One, Two, Three...Infinity, Stewart's Concepts of Modern Mathematics, and pretty much any book by Douglas Hofstadter is good for this. There also a lot of good youtube videos

I'm sorry you continue to vainly wast your time user. Maybe if you spent less time reading shitty books and more time chasing tail you'd have your family by now.

Keep it in your pocket and never stop reading it user. You're on the right path.

It literally takes forty hours to complete your firefighting cert. Private companies will train you for free if you're willing to put two weekends of your life into it. ex: dbfightfire.com/
Personally I couldn't do a job where there's a small but very real possibility of being burned to death inside a aluminum-foil baked potato wrap, but it's hard honest labour and I've got nothing but respect for people who do it.

by being thankful

yeah basically lol

>by being thankful
But you're literally squandering everything you've been given on stupid bullshit. You could be doing really cool stuff with your life, and instead you waste it on "idk grad-school and radical politics, lol". It's like you're too dumb/lazy to actually do anything worthwhile or productive, so instead you sit on your ass and play guitar and bitch (sorry, organize politically) on behalf of people who aren't born into your immense privilege and can't stand you, while also jumping through the credential factory participation trophy system that is modern academia every decade so you can maintain a social and economic segregation from the vast masses of people who aren't born into your easy lifestyle.

Being grateful would be using your financial security to go into an interesting and productive career, or starting a family young and working to guarantee the same benefits for your children. Occasionally authors like Borges come along and turn their NEEThood into something worthwhile, but you don't sound like the kind of person capable of that.

How do you make a living?

1. I think you should stop projecting, we’re both young here. I want to be a young idealist for a while and if I don’t turn out that good, I’m talented enough to find work. I’ll get bored otherwise.
2. I really don’t mean that I wanna be a political radical in the socialist sense here, bud. Or organize for people worse off than me for that matter. I want to articulate some things I’ve been thinking about since I’ve been in school. A new political paradigm is developing and I wanna get in on it. Also, fuck you, it’d be fun as fuck to be in a small radical sect of history theology and comp sci grads.
