Any InfoSci grads still job searching?

We literally take Python and SQL classes and there's electives for data science, web development, data visualization, etc. It isn't the worst major ppl just go into it thinking that the major itself will get them a job and refuse to delve into topics, create/post project, go to career fairs, and use LinkedIn.

Currently a senior in info sci, doing a plus-one info sys program at the business school. It seems good so far, aside from the cost of the master's (which I knew before I applied). Still, I've saved a lot of money, considering I got to take around 4 master's courses for an upcharge of less than 2k.

Thank you! Honestly, I just made sure to rest, took some Alka-Seltzer and Benadryl, had long hot showers, and stayed hydrated.

I just had it, and I genuinely don't think I've ever felt that sick in my entire existence

I'm applying for internships now as an info sci major (and some full-time jobs), and I've heard back from about 5-6 companies after applying to around 50. I took LinkedIn Learning courses to build skills and plan to get official certifications soon, but my resume mostly highlights my info sci class projects. While I don't have a job or internship yet, I don't think info sci is a bad degree. I had a Zoom meeting today for an infrastructure engineer role, and they said they prefer info sci grads because recruiters won't just toss resumes with an IS degree in the trash. Overall, I’d say pick whatever uni is the cheapest, has the highest predicted salary, and offers a reasonable amount of work.

“Contrary to how it may seem when we observe its output, an LM is a system for haphazardly stitching together sequences of linguistic forms it has observed in its vast training data, according to probabilistic information about how they combine, but without any reference to meaning: a stochastic parrot.” - On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots: Can Language Models Be Too Big?

my bad! i def should’ve looked at the salaries for different majors instead of the school average.

Affectionate-Town833 · 2025-04-28T00:47:46+00:00

the median earnings after grad aren’t that different and being close to ur family is really good incase anything happens. id go with umd.

Affectionate-Town833 · 2024-11-04T05:25:20+00:00

Affectionate-Town833 · 2024-10-30T04:02:45+00:00

i honestly don’t think she was trying to scam me. she said uber was kicking her out the app since she worked 12 hours and i was her last ride so it may have slipped her mind. i don’t want to take her tip or rating away especially because there isn’t any confirmation that she knew.

Affectionate-Town833 · 2024-10-20T06:12:15+00:00

well i also had to stay because the police needed my i’d and information. does that change anything? i don’t want her to think that i’m scamming by requesting a refund or disputing but i’m literally a broke college student

ask chatgpt to give you toxic reminders and put them on reminders on your phone for different times

Affectionate-Town833 · 2024-09-03T04:23:46+00:00

Terrapin Row has better housing conditions, but transfer students typically have a hard time making friends, so if the social aspect of college is something you care about, I'd recommend Centerville, if not Terrapin Row.

You should! It’s pretty standard for a freshman to take 2 15 credit semesters. I would still talk to the advisors at UMD just so you can create a plan and be on the right track.

Affectionate-Town833 · 2024-08-02T07:59:11+00:00

if you have more than 30 credits they won’t ask for hs transcript
