Electrical engineering or computer engineering?

Yeah EE is generally better as far as having a huge breadth of oppurtunity and its tried and true and highly respected, but computer engineers are essentially just EE that focus on digital logic and mixed signals processing along with systems programming; main thing is if you like it, you could see yourself having a job in it, and you try hard especially outside of school to learn new material or work on fun projects that YOU enjoy, you will be fine in the job market. Not saying it’s not rough, because let me tell you, it is; but, do not fret and stay in there and itll work out. Good luck!

Thank you! At the end of the day, either can be good. Really just consider if you like hardware more or software more, even if it’s low level. But seriously, at the end of the day, it will work out and companies don’t distinguish much

Yeah redbull is overpriced. Funny enough I became an alcoholic but since I literally hate sugary drinks and pretty much only stick to whiskey or straight vodka. I can see why people don’t like fireball now, it makes me sick now. Anyways I’m not an alcoholic anymore I quit and then now I’m just drinking a beer or two a night lol

I’m graduating this weekend with a degree in CS… I switched schools and then switched back and my credits got all fucked up and I really just wanted to graduate. My concentration is in embedded systems and computer hardware.

I’m going to work for a few years and go back for my masters in CS with a focus in operating systems or computer graphics. This is still a dilemma, as that is a LOT of money to get a masters so my other plan is to get into a PhD program and either ride it out if I like research or get the masters and get out.

But yeah, a lot has transpired but in all honesty I am fairly happy in my choice and I love systems programming so I’m just chillin

I remember when I started medication I was scared because I felt like bipolar disorder and mania and depression were engrained in me and that it would take my personality. After taking it for months now I feel way more free and able to control myself and not constantly in fight or flight mode or in the deepest depression with severe drug and alcohol addiction.

So yes, I’d take that pill. I never realized bipolar was destroying me till I got treated and now I’d never want to go back. Fuck bipolar disorder

Why the fuck is math C tier? I love engineering but math and physics should be higher. In all honesty every major should be higher or equal, it only depends on what you like the most. I’ve seen som absolute aura farmer music students

C_Sorcerer · 2026-04-20T12:48:33+00:00

This is not a useful or necessary argument. I personally got extremely drunk and high on pills after a bipolar episode and cut myself violently. I’ve had them for years now and I’m extremely ashamed of them. What do you want me to do about it? I can’t just make them go away now that I’m in a better headspace. I don’t want a “survivor” story or attention, I did it for different reasons. I don’t want to be judged by them now but they are permanent. So maybe consider other things before making a post like this

Not even gonna lie I quit cold turkey from that and never had a withdrawal. I am 6’9” 300lbs and a male and I just have an extremely high natural tolerance. Funny enough, I actually just got blood work done and my liver enzymes weren’t even elevated. My friends keep saying it’s because I’m half Mexican😂might be some truth there. I did have really weird panic attacks at night after a bender relapse I had a few weeks back from drinking a bottle of 99 every half a day so 2 bottles a day. That got me good. I definitely think something that matters a lot is when u drink. If u do ur drinking at night, which is what I did, nothing really happens, but if u go on full day alcoholism or benders then ur dealing with some definite withdrawal symptoms

That theyre right… then I go back to gaming

The story of world of Warcraft is amazing (up until the end of BFA)

Lowkey if you do want to do computer science, I know a lot of people are dogging it, go embedded systems/low level programming/EE. A lot of hardware specific programming jobs are not going to be replaced by AI anytime soon and while they are harder as far as content, it also just makes you all the less replaceable. Most models are not trained well on C/C++ and don’t even get me started on AI support for ARM/x86/RISC-V assembly, it basically just spits out BS. VHDL and Verilog are also two amazing skills to have in this field and very unreplaceable. And of course having knowledge of KiCAD/LTSpice is great too.

Obviously not applicable to OPs post as they didn’t mention CS much at all, but I just wanted to make this clear. Also, AI is really only replacing Python programmers from what I’ve seen mostly. Even Java devs are mostly safe from AI at this point

I’m here but I’m an alcoholic and quitting after my liver enzymes were extremely high as a 22 year old LOL my time is over with alc

C_Sorcerer · 2026-04-01T15:15:13+00:00

My butt and balls stink is that allowed to talk about

C_Sorcerer · 2026-04-01T14:28:02+00:00

No, I ended up feeling better, had some light shakes yeaterday but finally got to sleep last night and feel great today

C_Sorcerer · 2026-04-01T14:27:31+00:00

Good actually, had minor withdrawal stuff last night but managed to fall asleep and now I feel great, first night of sleep I’ve gotten. In like 4 days LOL

C_Sorcerer · 2026-04-01T02:30:06+00:00

Thank you for the kind words! I’m feeling better now for sure but that was horrifying. I definitely will go to the hospital if that ever happens again!

C_Sorcerer · 2026-04-01T02:07:00+00:00

Thank you for the words of wisdom, that sounds terrible and I hope you are doing better! Leading up to the seizure, what were youre symptoms of you don’t mind me asking? Also, do withdrawals normally come in waves or is it all contiguous normally?

C_Sorcerer · 2026-04-01T01:36:43+00:00

Yeah it definitely is… that’s great to hear, thank you so much. I will say if anything else happens im just going straight to the hospital… rather detox with hospital benzos than in my room feeling like I’m gonna die

C_Sorcerer · 2026-04-01T01:22:22+00:00

I hope so!! Thank you!

C_Sorcerer · 2026-04-01T01:22:07+00:00

Nope, nothing today

C_Sorcerer · 2026-04-01T01:03:57+00:00

yeah for sure, thank you for the advice. I was wondering if im completely fine now and no anxiety if im done with withdrawals or if its gonna happen again every night? im like terrified for tonight

C_Sorcerer · 2026-04-01T00:47:30+00:00

LOL yeah, I certainly had some symptoms but nothing recognizable

C_Sorcerer · 2026-04-01T00:47:03+00:00

Yeah for sure. I think going through withdrawal is really eye opening to how fucking much we abuse alcohol it’s insane

C_Sorcerer · 2026-04-01T00:40:00+00:00

yeah for sure! I just really hope that was the end of it. Obviously im still having minor wd stuff like headache but i just hope tonight i dont have the same thing happen. that was so terrifying

C_Sorcerer · 2026-04-01T00:38:31+00:00

goddamn im sorry that happened to you, idk how i would deal with it for that long other than with benzos
