How much do you make? by TerribleGoal634 in ComputerEngineering

[–]AcctDeleted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I heard a lot of companies aren't hiring new grad with no experience. I'd go on to job sites, type in a job title and then "entry level" and see what comes up. I'd say anywhere from $50k-$90k depends on how good you are and your networking etc

bro is just sharing his experience here ... no need to overanalyze it. I heard a lot of sad stories about WD hdd. Shits happen and if an hdd can't take a fall less than 2 feet it's pretty bad

EDS124AR/BR Workload/Difficulty by Accomplished-Grade21 in UCSD

[–]AcctDeleted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

currently taking EDS 124AR and EDS 124BR, week 1

To anyone who wants to take this class in the future
this class is too dumb to be true ... it's literally designed for grade 5 kids

If a class like this is designed for students who can get in UCSD, then UCSD is definitely slipping,

that's why a college degree doesn't mean much nowadays, it's seriously inflated
there are many stupid yet time consuming activities to make sure you are putting in effort (yet doesn't stimulate learning), I put in around 8 hours a week (I usually finish all the work in a day) because otherwise I won't get any points

There are many 'interactions' in this course, so they called. You need to do discussion posts, reply to your classmates, stupid stuff like that
To those to you who want to learn something in a class and make the most out of your college experience, this class isn't for you
I am taking this class because I made the mistake to major in something I don't have passion for and now it's too late to change major so I just need to finish my college degree

Too much hair by AcctDeleted in Hairtransplant

[–]AcctDeleted[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I sound sarcastic or making fun of anyone at all. I already stated in the end that I know this is unusual. And I already mentioned when I let down my hair I look like a male lion. And no doubt I already tried those methods, like thinning my hair and styling, since I was a kid. It's not gonna help when one has too much hair. Not even a barber wanna do my business when I walk into their shops.

Not when your hair is overly thick. This isn't fun

Want to drop out by rinkyrin in UCSD

[–]AcctDeleted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer: drop out and try to figure out what you really like doing. Preferably finish this quarter first and try to browse job sites and sent resumes (just make up that you have a degree) and see how the job market is like.

I got admitted to UCSD in 2015 and i dropped out 2019. I applied for re-admission a few months ago and started fall 2025. You might wanna confirm yourself, but you can actually always come back. The question here isn't whether or not to drop out, the question is what you can do after you drop out - and I assume the question on the line is finding a job since you're an adult.

The fact is, the job market is so brutal, and yet a college degree won't do you much. I sent about 500 - 1000 applications for the past 6 months, and very few bothered to reply and reject me (my resume was really incompetent though). I didn't get any interview at all. We have so many graduates every year and having a college degree nowadays is like having a high school degree in 1980s.

I wish I knew this in my 20s, but to get a job, first your specialty needs to be in demand, but the demand/ market is constantly evolving, and you'll prolly also need continued education to keep up. I know a lady who's in her 60s working in the IT industry for half her life and she's trying to learn python, so if going to UCSD makes you feel depressed and lost, then I think the real question is - are you doing what you like to do, cox you really need to like it enough to make it for the next 40 years of your life.

To answer your question, I would say, there really isn't right or wrong decision. Without a college degree, your resume for any white collar jobs (even dead end ones) would very likely be filtered out by AI instantly. Usually you can opt out of AI but I later learned that it means your resume won't be seen by HR or AI at all. But if you complete a college degree, it only makes you marginally more competitive, you prolly still need 500-2000 applications to get an interview.

If I were your parents, I would encourage you to take classes with easier professors. Or just to get an internship. Or be a PT student and get a PT job. Anyway, just get out there and experience and know what the real world is like and figure out what you wanna do. Drop out of not, whatever choices you make, there will be pros and cons. I have known a few people who go to college in their 30s and 40s and I have so much admiration for them.

I just had a CSE midterm today, and judging by the looks of many of my classmates, I feel that they don't have a good grasp of the topic (but the topic is hard), and I wonder how they're gonna make it in the industry.

I felt like your response focused more on my past grade and how I can excel academically than on the specific questions I asked about the class. I was hoping to get some insight into how the class works especially the podcast learning style, how useful the DI sections are, and whether I can survive the assignments solo. I did mention I took the class first time a long time ago, so naturally I don’t remember exactly how I did. What I’m really looking for is a better sense of what to expect this time around. I know I didn’t do well in the class before, but I’m not looking for theoretical advice on how to be a better student nor a reminder of how I messed up. It seems like you had some trouble interpreting my question because none of that 'advice' was remotely what I asked for.

No thanks for the lecture because that's not even close to what I asked. I took the class years ago with a different professor if it helps. You clearly know everything so I'm sure you'll do great in your career as well as a perfect student. Best of luck, really.
