What's your major /aca/? I'm in my last year of a Master's in Computer Science
Bachelor's in Computer Science, second year
still waiting for things to make sense..
>>283
OP here, they will never make much of a sense, but they will make less no sense

Mathematics is very interesting. I enjoy delving into new mathematical concepts and challenges from time to time
Even these days, I was talking about Project Euler with a professor of mine. It got me into trying to solve a problem he was stuck with and I ended up learning some new stuff 
I miss actively learning about math. If I had the time, I'd like to do some big project involving it
archaeology and anthropology but outside of that I got an ottoman style medrese education too
>>281 Are you currently employed? Had any internships while enrolled?
Junior year of philosophy undergrad as an adult student.

OP here. I've finished my Master's in the meanwhile and I did have a couple of internships, mostly during the Summer
I'm currently employed at a software company and the pay is quite good, but I'm considering pursuing a PhD instead
I much prefer learning and researching than working, even if it's harder and pays less

I'm in my 3rd year of a bachelors in Computer Science. I haven't really done any internships or jobs yet, just small projects on GitHub. Does anybody have any tips for where I should go from here?
>>281 EE and math i transferred from a cc so my schedule's retarded (doing the 1st yr logic/circuits stuff but taking real analysis, algebra & topology) but it's fun overall. i hate baby rudin so goddamn much though
>>335 >Does anybody have any tips for where I should go from here? If possible, try to go for a master, computer science is a field that becomes overcrowded over time so it's hard to stand out without additional degrees imo. If money is a problem, some master's degree program can be done as part time trainee combo
>>335 Same. I've been doing terribly, not even any projects. I'm screwed.
>>281 i'm working on my degree in Conservation and Sustainability. i plan on going into the environmental field, maybe a comfy state job.

>>281 I am going to begin my bachelors in Computer Engineering this fall. I hope that I can learn driver development while I am there
>>335 Reinforce the emphasis on github projects. Many people claim that they are useless for employability but they are wrong. I graduated in audiovisual but landed a job as a software engineer from self-taught merit over the years. One of the things that helped me the most was exactly my github projects as it could show my employers grounded/tangible experience and knowledge that could be checked immediately. Another thing. It seems that employers really like when your CV is tailored to the role you are applying to, so try to tailor your CV to each different position you apply to by highlighting the tools/knowledge they ask for which you know. If you don't know the tools an frameworks they use, check it out for at least a few hours just to see how they are like. Avoid using corporate buzzwords because technical interviewers notice that immediately. Try to keep the CV succint, you don't need to write about your personal life. These tips I'm talking about are mostly important for the technical employer/interviewer but definitely not the HR. The HR is always employment's biggest enemy but there's not much you can do about that.
Reminder that anons lie all the time. No, you will not get a job without a degree, nor will you get a job with a degree and no inside man, move to the trades or make a gather funding for a startup.

I'd boil it down to "no you won't get a job", which is a fairly truthful statement these days. But maybe somebody's lucky and wins the roulette.
>>346 I got mine with an unrelated degree and that's not a lie. Degrees help but they are not guarantees. Technical employers understand this especially in the software industry, usually only HR will judge you based solely on what looks good or not to them.
>>346 It's possible, but you need to get lucky. I got scouted out on LinkedIn by a recruiter for a medior Linux sysadmin/devops job without a degree or any prior experience, so it's definitely possible. I may have just gotten extremely, extremely lucky.
fuck everyone's lucky!
