Is college hard? Is it stressful? Is it worth it?

I'm not obligated to answer that

STEM or GTFO honestly. And no matter what you study, its essentially worthless if you don't network and take advantage of outside of the classroom activities in every way possible. 90% of the educational value is in extracurriculars: club, leadership, design, research, business competitions. Classroom knowledge is necessary, but college education is all about getting outside the classroom.

STEM is getting overcrowded now. You need to get into niche area of STEM or outside of STEM to make some serious $$. Just look at job descriptions and salary attached.

Graduation rate at most colleges is abysmal, single digits usually.To combat that, they have made everything shit easy. When you finally get a job in your related field of study, you will know nothing about what you are supposed to do from your classes. What a (((concept)))...

Unless it leads to PhD which leads to higher paying jobs.

I think it's fine.

Nah engineering is definitely not overcrowded

you don't learn from experience you learn from thinking
you become more comfortable from experience, they're bad people

Unless you have a lot of industry contacts and internship offers, change your major now. Its never too late to chnage your major

If you don't belong there, it will be difficult.

Which engineering

MINT: always worthi it; employers basically kiss your ass and you will never have any trouble finding a job

social sciences: finding a job is a little harder but if you did an internship or two/didn't do to bad you won't have trouble finding a job either - less money though.

humanities: either do a shitload of internships and/or have connections or prepare to be a cab driver.

All (can) be hard, all are stressful and all are worth it, if it's what you are interested in - if you wan't to know about job prospects, look above.

(Point of reference : middle europe)

MINT is the german abbreviation for STEM.

I know what to do

It's only worth it you don't major in liberal arts.

OP here, thank you guys for replying I'll look more into everything you've listed. I want to go into engineering, not sure which yet honestly, I want to work with computers/technology, probably mechanical, I'm really bad at math though and barely finished high school because of it. Also might do computer science

Fuck college. Go learn a trade

american college is a waste of time,your just gonna come out dumber and more liberal then you were when you first started there

You're going to be fucking miserable if you're shit at maths and do engineering. Do something else.

Was thinking of that as an option too.

Chill as fuck here in Australia. We don't have shit due every single week like in the US, the government will pay you to attend and half your rent and it only costs a fraction of what it does in the US. And marks are much more weighted on projects not exams.

I did a semester in the US and it was stressful as fuck and been forced to live on campus like you are a child is shit. Aussies have a life outside of uni. Americans don't.

Junior software dev starts at 70K.. That is more then almost anything else.

fuck those aboridgenese tho

Liberal arts degrees aren't bad as long as you know what you're getting into. Too many kids, though, don't bother to read the fine print. They think they're going to get to spend six years reading their favorite books or some shit and then magically come out on the other side with a big dick and a seven figure income, and that shit just has no basis in reality. To make a living off of an arts degree you have to have talent, skill, drive, and either access to contacts or the most charming motherfucking personality since Hitler-- and you need to accept that you will have to keep that grind going for the majority of your adult life. It can be rewarding as fuck but it is never easy.

On the other hand it's also true that prospective stem majors generally fail to read the sticky as well. I can't even count the number of would be engineers I've met who gave up after earning their bachelor's and then learning, apparently for the first time, that no one gives a fuck about engineers until they have at least a master's and a couple of professional certifications. And it's the same across the board: finance, mathematics, bidness, medical or commercial science-- there's always a catch, and it's up to the individual student to find out what that is and plan accordingly. Except that they don't, and then they spend the next ten years bitching on Reddit and 4chins about how the educational system failed them by giving them exactly what they asked for instead of what they thought they wanted.

So yes, college is hard, but it can be worth it as long as you do your due diligence. Do your research. Check out the OOH. Talk to employers and employees in your prospective field of study, and take that knowledge with you when you talk to your academic advisor. Be honest with yourself about what you want in life and how hard you're willing to work to get there. And accept that yes, you can absolutely do whatever you want in life; but that doesn't mean you'll get paid for it.

Wrong. You can get a PhD in history. Only thing it's good for is teaching history. And teachers at least in murica get paid shut. Stick to finance and sciences if you want a dependable decent wage job.

Completely incorrect, at least in the upper midwest america, our company literally cant find enough software devs. Everyone is either a self taught retard, or a 50 year old out of touch boomer here. It's the whole region suffering

Doesnt matter as almost every job gives training. The degree is literally a toll to a better career. Plus in about 4 years everything you learned is useless anyway.

Trade is for retards, jobs pay well but they are more physically demanding on average. White collar can be boring but usually pretty cushy with good pay.

So trade for if you're only a little smart but dont mind taking a beating or being a union bitch. College for if you want to sit at a desk all day and be a corporate bitch.

If you do your homework as soon as you get it, it's easy. Just go to community college first and get close with your professors. Ask questions but don't be that cringe kid though. Master's student btw.

I made an underwater basket weaving degree in uni but my life would be the same if I had done any other degree. I hardly relied on that stupid degree to reach here.

Anyway for me to log this for future reference

Bet it's hard for the nigger in OP pic

My gf was a straight A student all of highschool, extremely smart chick with books, but she’s in ME and it’s destorying. She’s passing but she goes through a lot of stress.

Go for something easier but with a good job. I’m doing Cyber Security and it’s easy as hell, as long as you know what a computer is and how it works

That sounds right up my alley, I'll look into it, thanks so much!

Do it, look for CISCO certifications, or anything regarding the government. That’s where you get amazing money and benefits

No depends on you. Bad at math? Get help.
What I hate about college is the first day. Introductions. Even in web development CS and IT courses. I don't care about your life what your majoring I just want to learn, pass the class and get my degree. Im not going to see you later in life.

> Needed to get out of my system

Go back to r/eddit, faggots.

>I'm really bad at math though
>Also might do computer science
You won't last.
