So you haven't declared your major yet?

some of it yea, but i gotta take it for my associates requirement.

anthropology

Couldn't be me

I'm not spending tens of thousands of dollars to study something I hate

And if I didn't have a clue what I was interested in, I wouldn't enroll to find out. But that's just me

Lots of kids getting pressured into college now. You may as well major in something you’re interested in, because bachelors degrees are getting oversaturated anyways and it’s not really the key to an instant job anymore (was it ever?)
Going to school to be a doctor, lawyer, etc. is a pretty good bet but everything else is a toss up

I liked it. Thing is its hard to get a job in that field lolll

No guidance or mentors, certainly true for my case. We weren’t taught how to critically think about these decisions, we just followed the crowd. Anyone who did something else was demonised

Adulthood for me is just getting rid of the preconceived notions that were taught by community

I studied economics it was alright but I would do it again, lowkey don’t want to work in this field. S*** is just extreme networking and connections

Totally agree. Luckily me growing up on the internet and watching YouTubers/blog era/indie artists showed me that the college route or 9-5 route wasn’t the only way to maneuver after HS. Even though I was 12-13 at the time I still knew it was a plan for people who didn’t want to follow the code. Everyone in our location (small city in VA) gets demonised or looked down upon if you don’t go to college or serve the county lol. More schools need to teach kids the importance of networking and showing them that it’s possible to monetize your life with your own passion instead of being forced to make a huge investment at 18 (barely an adult) that predicts the rest of your life basically

Amazing post. I wasn’t taught how to network and I’m now paying for the consequences of it, s*** is essential. Having foresight is an amazing skill too, which isn’t stressed enough.

Im thinking about going to college for the first time still unsure though. Deciding either photography or music production

im completely lost OP ur not alone

I kinda feel this

I hated uni in general. Still pushed through it

With all due respect thought CS is so much more harder than I feel you're putting it, I feel just from taking an intro class unless you really dedicate time to it, that s*** is hard to push (coming from someone d***ing around trying to get something I deemed easy & lucrative).

I'll admit though I should've been known myself ain't s*** worthwhile 'easy'

This is facts. From 18-23 been moving on a fear mentality the one thing I was actually interested in (Psychology) wouldn't lead a good life.

Barely just now summoning the courage to try it out. Feel like that's all we can do...try.

Damn forgot I posted this

i graduated with a 2.0 by playing league of legends everyday instead of studying

i then emailed the CEO and i got the job

now i manage there 6 figures a month funding process

how's your college experience currently going?
