Yep. I've done other jobs including grading and monitoring a computer lab, but tutoring IMO hits the sweet spot in terms of effort and what looks good on a resume.

Concerning your question about solid state ionics, it's never come up in my coursework as an EE major with an embedded systems concentration. If I had to hazard a guess I'd say that's in the domain of materials science/engineering, if not outright chemistry.

EE is not easy, m8. It's arguably the hardest undergrad degree. Tons of "AP high school students" sign up for 18 credit hour semesters freshman year in a hard STEM degree and get burned out almost instantly and subsequently become depressed.

The thing with engineering degrees, is you might be "the smart kid" in your friend group or even your high school. But when you get to state uni, you are surrounded by other "smart kids", and it's a very humbling experience. t. EE senior

I manage a small video game store that I have the good fortune to operate completely alone. The pay is alright and it was, for a while, a comfy place to draw until my personality attracted more regulars (which run the gamut from normal people and aging greasers all the way down to obsessive compulsive lunatics I have to shoo out of the store upwards of four times a day).

I generally enjoy talking to people about their problems and helping work through them to an extent, but my having acquiesced to serving as a budget therapist amongst marked-up merchandise has nonetheless robbed me of one of the major (and only) incentives I'd had to continue working there and I'm not sure what I should do moving forward.

I'm not saying you think of yourself as a genius. But I am saying if you came from a high school where you were in the top 5% or top 1% of students, you're probably going to be in the middle of the pack in college. And it's going to force a mental adjustment.

And I'm saying many students totally shut down and become miserable when they get an exam back and they failed for the first time or they made below average. I see it all the time. Exam grades don't really matter. What matters is how consistently you handle yourself. Doesn't matter how good your exams in the middle of the semester are if you have a mental breakdown on finals week and you spend the week in the fetal position.

No. But if you're a Java fag, get ready for a load of fuckery. Dynamic languages are oowerful and free, but that freedom can make you wrier bad code.

Imo, dont write vanilla JS. Its chaotic. If you're a Javafag, learn basic JS and then ease into TypeScript, it will be a smooth entry and will translate your skills easy. Typescript is a superset of JS that adds type safety and proper OOP structure. Gives you intellisense back.

In seriousness though, I wan't a huge fan of it while I was in. Worked Intel but only ever did busy work or wrote reports noone would read. Entire time just got shit on by 'superiors'. Got crippled mid way through from Crohns Disease (95% sure Army stress caused that shit) closing my intestines but since command couldn't 'see' the illness like a broken leg it was fake despite the fact the soldier right fuckin' in front of them lost 40lbs in a few months. Wake up ass early every day to do PT. Everything is regulated. If you want to have your creativity crushed, look no further.

If you're autismo you may just like it to be honest. Lots of little innane details. You can be the person that autistically burns off little threads from the service uniform of other folks, or from memory recites AR-'Who the fuck cares' from the manual. It's great if you like being told what to do 24/7. Though these are the people that also get out and suddenly hit rock bottom because without anyone to tell them what to do... Then what do they do?

None of ours are officially dead yet, but they are getting close. The benefit of being the small guys is that we have to adapt first, the big malls are still sliding by with the status quo and it's going to bite them in the ass. All the national retailers are using this situation to rape the landlords with insanely cheap deals so landlords are done with them, focusing on mom & pops / start ups. If you want to start a store today, you can probably get your local mall landlord to invest heavily in your concept at a way better interest rate than a typical business loan.

>>3523733
We own a lot of properties in rural farm towns that are 95% white. All the young people leave town so we're left with an aging, somewhat wealthy base (farmers make a pretty decent living), and we're struggling to figure out what the hell they want in a mall. The feral third worlders gravitate to the nicer malls, oddly enough.

Frame art / image edit / run large format printers at a small custom frame shop. Pay sucks, but I have access to whatever the fuck I need to reproduce prints of paintings / what ever the fuck I want up to 44in wide. Most people bring in junk, but I've seen and handled some pricey Hudson River School paintings and frames, along with far more impressive contemporary work. It's funny working with the junk people bring in then in the same hour, handle the kind of thing you see in museums. I get to talk about people's art and talk about my own paintings with people, which is generally pretty good. I like to be supportive of people who aren't terribly good at their medium, but It's funny when people talk themselves up and aren't that good. The job itself puts me in a good place to start painting every day and I can share my work with co-workers who are 25+ years older than I am with that much more experience in their respective mediums.

My other job is maintenance man. It's usually a dirty job, but I get to do most things alone and it pays better than the frame shop.

Though I'd preferred to be surrounded by the smell of sweets rather than iron.
The only complaints I hear are the whispers of invisible people around me, so either I'm starting to go crazy or I can actually hear ghosts. Occasionally I will hear nurses gossip, about confidential cases, but since I'm just the cleaning lady it doesn't matter if I hear it. People usually look down on my kind of field of work, but I don't really care since, when people believes your an idiot, will put their guards down and information that otherwise would be held tight are exposed.

But once I'm done with work, I don't have to think about it for the rest of the day and can instead indulge in art, so I'm not complaining either.

AND THE FUCKIN CHIPMUNKS little whores eat everything. Next paycheck I'm buying a trap for the fuckers. It's very pleasant. Although I wish I was more up in the mountains.
I go out of state for college and I never realized that I miss my environment. I'm so caught up with "work, sleep, learn, draw," that I forget my surroundings.
How are cali's mountains and forests? I'm not a survival nut, but I like greenery quite a lot.

1st and 2nd year chemistry if you weren't doing a combined degree. this is the australian system, so i'd imagine it's different in the US.

1st year - or 'freshman' - chemistry taught broad fundamentals and was mostly just a re-hash of highschool. second year gave you the option to do inorganics and organics and other shit like that.

the most important thing to learn about chemical engineering is that you don't do chemistry. lol. it's pretty much an applied maths/physics degree in the chemical industry.

Will soon graduate from EE undergraduate. Currently trying my luck in job market and waiting for final project test before graduating

My parents advice to me probably won't make a lot of sense to most people but if I can't get a comfy upper income jobs (equal with $80k and up jobs in burgerland I think? I'm not a burger), they much prefer me to be self employed or open whatever business I want. Sure you work much harder if it's for yourself, you don't have any safety nets, you will literally only get what you work for, and you won't get better money unless you're actually good and smart. But the freedom to choose literally endless path as self employed/ business owner and potential for bigger money is much better compared to slaving at $80k and under jobs.

You'll probably have to work harder and longer than somebody smarter to git gud, but there's nothing in art that inherently requires a high IQ.
If you love drawing and are a hard worker, you can still make it, just as some guy with an IQ of 140 can still be a terrible artist if he lacks drive and work ethic.

IIRC low IQ correlates with a lack of creativity and lateral thinking, which means you might be more suited as an illustrator of others' ideas than, say, a concept artist, but that's speaking of averages and you're only one person.

At the risk of blogposting:
I actually dropped out of college years ago because I didn't know what I wanted to do career wise and multiple things led to me not trying in school (dumb shit relating to a shitty ex led to me slacking off for escapism. Plus typical neet depression. Totally my fault for not learning how to deal with social shit but I'm probably autistic)
So I basically wasted my time and fucked myself over. If I knew that crispr was gonna be a thing I might have actually took it seriously but I thought real genetics work was gonna be after my time.
Plus I found out too late that becoming a vet is probably harder than a real doctor and you'd have to have been interning and volunteering with animals from the age of twelve with straight As in everything including calculus. ( So as soon as I fucked up my GPA I figured it was over. And a generic bio degree didn't seem useful at the time, or even now really.

As for the baby stuff, I'm literally not interested in reproducing. Don't like babies/kids. Closest to maternal instincts is animals. My Asian friend however seemed to be going that route.

Okay well you wasted a lot of time in the pursuit of a Dark Triad Chad. So now just find some a beta comp sci grad with a solid career who won't care you're Chad's leftovers, and then get preggers. Try to find a way to marshal some affection for the beta, despite him being not-Chad, and thus against your instincts to have any desire to mate with him. Having kids is the only thing to make women happy. They certainly dont find happiness pursuing high stress careers.

Uni student. I’ve gotten pretty good grades so far but it’s still an enormous struggle. My labs keep getting longer and my classes keep getting harder and every semester I’m afraid that I won’t be able to keep up. Even if I do succeed and get a high paying job in dentistry or medicine I’m worried that I won’t have the time or energy to continue pursuing art. My fears are worsened by the fact that I only enjoy drawing porn and therefore have to keep my hobby a secret forever. I’m also not very outgoing and I doubt I will ever get a girlfriend, especially considering my hobby.

Wasn’t after a chad, my ex was just a 7/10 controlling bitch who I initially thought was a sweet nerd I could relate to, ironically in a comp sci career, and I’m not looking for a new one. New interests don’t have to worry about being compared because it’d be hard to do worse. They were just my first SO so I fell hard and didn’t know how anything worked.
