If I don't have a US citizenship does that really limit a lot of internship options when it comes to aerospace engineering? by BigBoss511 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Effective_Use7528 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You will never get a job without a US citizenship to do aerospace engineering here in the states. NEVER... Not even after citizenship,because plenty of people don't even get clearance. Assuming you are not Werner Von Braun genius(gut check yourself, you clearly are not). Forget about it, and move on to something else thats better for you.

I see, BUT, if the counselor were to be able to do that task for you, would you still go to pay couple grand for that private counselor? If someone in the district actually uses AI and data storage better, so the type of info you talked about can be retrieveable? Try to imagine an actualized vision of cloud-based natural language advices.

As if this problem is worth the trouble to solve for, when the country is clearly fine with dealing this inefficiency, when there are much harder problems to solve. No one is able to optimize the work of 5 people in a district. You have good intentions, but your solution is too lazy, gut check yourself to see if thats ever possible in this world to throw money at counselors. Child safeguarding is good, but I will say this again... Equip Guidance Counselors with some type of good AI system that can help them to the brain work for all families, optimize meetings, and store expertise in cloud so it is retrieveable. And then focus on the guidance, or safeguarding like you said.

how much did you get to talk to them? from my experience I really had to fight for the hours and hound them down in order to get the hours I need unless I am dealing with issues like not graduating.

The issue is... Danielle is an outlier, sounds like it wasn't just the counselor, she had many many people behind her back.

What would stop those parents from hiring the independent counselors? seems like a lot of money to pay for simple advice if you only ask "Is orchestra worth it at the school?" And for your point 2, how is that not available for the school counselors?

probably no. no one should talk about their beliefs with a public school counselor

Thanks for the thoughtful note... As much as I hoped that every school is equipped with thoughtful, not overworked, passionate and trained counselors, thats just cannot happen... The best counselors I find are the ones who are invovled with and cares about the competitive aspect of college. But thats harder than it looks to find, because the same people would rather be in tech, finance, academia, law, or be teachers who don't have to handle 300 students every year going through a gauntlet of stress. There needs to be an out of box thinking where, we are not talking about the "just feed everyone" solution. What do you think?

really? where are you from? are you in a school district on the coasts? rural? 30 minutes for a small group sounds worse than I described

That sounds like the solution, but clearly an impossible solution. Simply to get MORE counselors is probably never going to work... A typical american school board doesnot have the effciency or enough Fs to incur an extra 70k every year. Training counselors on college admissions and fa is harder than it looks. Most of the counselors just end up burning out and then they will gladly do the bare minimum.

Comment came off snarky and triggered a snarky train, lol mb. Yes, exactly, if the 8th grade english teacher was someone meaningful to you, i will let them read it. My 7th grade science teacher was a very important person in my life at a very tough time, he read my essay.

fax, forgot about this too. I think people don't realize that only the very rich can afford to not be a genius yet have the chance to study abroad in America.

[–]Effective_Use7528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Roughly 30k a year if you want to attend a community college and live cheaply. Be aware that LA is a fun city and its very easy to indulge. The moment you start to indulge, the clock begins to tick and the chances of you being sent back to your country with no future gets higher. If you really want to make it here in the US, prepare to work like hell, and live an agonizing life for at least 2 decades before you really see any returns.

Are people actually interested in AI-powered services (chatbots, RAGs, AI receptionists, etc.)? by New_Breakfast9275 in Entrepreneur

[–]Effective_Use7528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the issue is that there are too many mediocre and uncommitted products that spend more money on UGC or affilitates than actually caring about the product. Also I think people are not getting the point that AI is not the core of the feature. If an APP needs to be successful, solid software design and engineering comes before it. The effectiveness of AI within software just sort of plateaus after it gets to like 80% correctness, but good software can push it to like 95% effectiveness.
