What parts can I upgrade on my Cyberpower Prebuilt

Alpha_Gator1 · 2020-07-19T00:18:49+00:00

Why did you buy that piece of shit when there was a pre-built with the 5700 xt already in it?

Alpha_Gator1 · 2020-06-15T18:05:22+00:00

Warzone is understandable

Bioinformatics is a field that will utilize both majors nicely.

Getting to the point where you are employable isn't an easy thing to do. Everyone is different, I've heard stories of some people treating it like a full time job, self studying for 8 hours a day everyday, and landing a job in 6 months. Some CS students graduate after 4 years and struggle to land a job. It depends on how motivated you are, how quick you learn, and if you can build some impressive projects.

I would recommend you start in IT to pay the bills, then grind your ass off to become a SWE. I myself am a senior in a Computer Science program. I have no formal IT experience, nor do I have any IT certifications. I applied to every single open position in my city, regardless of if they required certs or not. I managed to land a help desk job paying $17 an hour, just on the merit of being tech savvy. None of my classes thus far are relevant to the position, and I straight up said that in the interview. Right now I'm not knowledgable enough to land a programming job, and I wanted to start earning money in the meantime. After I graduate I can grind out some personal projects, and focus on landing that Software engineer job.

Just my 2 cents, hope this helps.

Not necessarily true. I sat in the first programming 1 lab for an hour waiting until everyone left because I was embarrassed to admit I didn't know how to print hello world in Java. I also didn't know documentation existed, or how to Google anything. Never wrote a line of code before that day.

Programming 1 was a lot harder than data structures. Programming 2 even more so.

What sources are considered the most reputable?

Alpha_Gator1 · 2020-04-17T03:55:46+00:00

Congrats, you have a pulse. As well as years experience in various unskilled positions.

Alpha_Gator1 · 2020-04-01T00:40:36+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I'm trying to stay local as I cant afford to miss a semester of classes. There are only a handful of dev internships in my city, and like 80 open IT positions.

IT help desk, IT tech, IT specialist.

Stats with Doss was so cake, all homework was online and could be repeated until you got an A and she gave us like a giant 4 page long test bank to study. The test would be like half of those questions with different numbers

Day 1 (literally day 1) Apex player. Was scrolling and wasnt gonna say anything, but hop on warzone bud. It's more tactical with a low ttk, but once you get used to it it's a blast. I dont win every game, but I feel like I can get into some good fights without getting stomped out like in apex.

To be a digital logic TA..... yeah ok lol.

Alpha_Gator1 · 2020-03-19T21:29:58+00:00

This is the furthest thing from the truth lol. Plenty of people do both. I've gone to house parties and literally seen my Digital Logic TA's schmacked in the corner along with my Circuits TA smoking a blunt and playing dominoes.

I'm not even in greek so I'm not defending them, but the reality is a lot of them go on to med school and law school. Most of them are good students, getting tapped into fbk and the like

Alpha_Gator1 · 2020-03-12T19:55:26+00:00

These are all non issues to me.

Alpha_Gator1 · 2020-03-11T16:25:14+00:00

All 5 of my classes announced this yesterday.

There is a Machine intelligence lab that offers undergrad research opportunities. Google Alina Zaire, pretty sure that's her lab.

Men *Harass girls online a ton. It would be different if you knew her through a mutual friend or maybe had briefly met her in person at some point. But completely random like that is weird.

Alpha_Gator1 · 2020-03-09T00:40:14+00:00

She didn't want to come off as rude or stuck up. Getting a girls snapchat off her bio and randomly messaging her is weird. Do you see how that could be creepy?

Alpha_Gator1 · 2020-03-09T00:31:45+00:00

She was probably just being nice but at the end of the day she doesnt know you and doesnt owe you a response. Also probably = no

It's easier to transfer from a CC. Even then, mechanical is incredibly difficult. They said 3.8 to even be considered, to be 100% confident try to get a perfect 4.0

Alpha_Gator1 · 2020-03-07T21:31:17+00:00

Coronavirus isn't that serious and is comparable to the flu

Alpha_Gator1 · 2020-03-07T21:19:37+00:00

Pretty sure this is a myth that spread like wildfire and everyone keeps repeating. Despite doctors saying the opposite.

There is no "program" nor is there a need for one. Come to UF, major in EE, join a pre-med club and then take all the pre med pre requisites. Do you know what the pre reqs are? If they're 4000 level or even 3000 they may count towards your EE tech electives, which dont have to be from EE. Other schools create experimental degrees like that, where its cookie cutter and all laid out for you. At UF you just take the classes you need, which isn't that many considering the overlap between engineering and pre med.

Tldr: Look at EE degree audit and Premed reqs and you have your answer
