/sci/ - Science & Math

I JUST WANTED TO BE A FUCKING DATA SCIENTIST I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD THERES NO JOBS THERES NOTHING OUT HERE FOR CS GRADS IM GONNA FUCKING KILL MYSELF

I'm in full paranoia since then. I think he will take vengeance through my grades. Am I just being crazy and did the right thing or am I screwed?

I'm only an applied math major because I couldn't get into the engineering school, which is a requirement to becoming a CS major at my university.

I had 3 semesters to try.

3 fucking semesters.

3 opportunities and I failed every single one.

My best friend got in with his first try and he now works at Amazon game studios. I still haven't even graduated college. I told my parents I suddenly decided to be a math major despite wanting to be a CS major since highschool because I don't have the heart to tell them the truth.

I'm a failure.

I'm pathetic.

I'm going nowhere in life.
As soon as I finish college, I'm going to rent a small apartment, buy a gun, and shoot myself in the head.

>a fucking minus sign

I don't have an inherent problem with group work. The justification the professor usually provides is that you'll be working collaboratively in the field--obviously. But the field/workplace does not possess the same disparities as a shit tier undergrad program There is less of a gap in knowledge and ability. School is a mixed bag.

In one class we have been tasked with genomics research well beyond the scope of the course. It is a group project and accounts for the majority of our semester grade. My 3 randomly assigned partners are all idiots. Two of them do not understand basic biological concepts. Everything that comes out of their mouth is sloppy and mostly wrong. The other girl is very bright but is best friends with one of the stupid girls, which undermines the entire project.

Every week we must submit several pages documenting our progress, and each member must contribute equally. I can only "edit" and make so many suggestions before I become the sole author, and a complete elitist prick, both of which they are beginning to acknowledge. All our grades are suffering as a result. There's really nothing I can trust them to do other than basic formatting. I know what work is entailed to achieve a high mark, and they are simply incapable.

What the fuck is the proper thing to do in this situation? I've just been assigned a group capstone project in another course and I can tell it's setting up to be more of the same. I am unironically considering dropping out because of this. Highly doubt I'll be back come fall. The undergrad program I'm in is pathetically small and I will undoubtedly find myself working with these same people again over the next two years.

If I went to at least a mildly prestigious college with a brainlet filter this wouldn't be an issue. Why do my mistakes in high school have to ruin all potential for a successful future?

>be me
>24 y/o former NEET with AA in "engineering science" from community college
>/makeit/ with crypto
>decide to go back to college to study bioengineering
>absolute meme tier degree
>mildly high IQ (128 @ shrink) but shit tier transcript
>enroll at engineering school with 60% acceptance rate
>paying tens of thousands of dollars to learn absolutely nothing alongside drooling retards

>take major-specific engineering design class
>entire grade is determined by one group project
>group is me and three 18 year old girls
>project is to develop a novel delivery system for CRISPR-cas9
>only person in group to have finished a biology course
>one girl tries to work on the project but is literally too dumb to understand any of it. Hopeless
>other two girls are slightly smarter but best friends/soccer sloots and spend entire class + group meetings talking about their favorite studs on the hockey team
>I discard everything they come up with and start from scratch repeatedly
>entire project due next week
I could go on...

How the fuck do you handle this situation? I'm ready to drop out or KMS. People talk about academic elitism and all this, but I live in Boston. I rub elbows with geniuses over at MIT and Harvard. My school is nothing but average IQ retards with zero drive or academic aspiration. There is nothing I would like more than to go to a nice school after having experienced this. All of the professors are brain dead, and everyone is too stupid to know or care. I don't even wear my school backpack around the city anymore out of shame. So fucking pissed.

Keep coping retards

I'm sorry bros but can someone please help me. Despite me and my partner being top students, very hard working and so on the supervisor just can't be arsed and doesn't turn up to answer questions or explain what we're meant to be doing.

I'm doing a project where the mass of Rubidium is determined from readings from a photodiode connected to an oscilloscope, and the values got were underestimates. This is expected, apparently "due to the 3 overlapping Gaussians on the oscilloscope". I've tried asking him what he means and he just repeats "the 3 gaussians" over and over again. It looks like the left pic.

What actually does he mean?

Bump. This existential crisis is a bad one.
