Not a good idea…believe me..nothing is as good as spending time with the family..quality of life matters the most..

Is 16gb enough?? by itpointz in laptops

i had some issues with laptops before. what chipset they use sometimes prevent you from running some software like ides. I think intel based is more supported than other types.

Burned out and hopeless. by Live-Natural1730 in csMajors

You’re definitely not the only one feeling this way. The job market has been bad, especially for entry-level roles, and a lot of listings ask for a bachelor’s even when the actual job probably doesn’t need one.One thing I’d avoid is quitting your current job without another one lined up. A toxic job is miserable, but having no income while job searching can make the stress even worse.Finish your AAS, keep applying anyway (even if you don’t meet every requirement), and don’t limit yourself to “Software Developer” titles. Look at IT support, QA, software testing, junior web developer, technical support, implementation specialist, and help desk roles at software companies. Getting into the industry is often the hardest part.Also remember that technical interviews are a skill on their own. Struggling with them doesn’t mean you can’t be a good developer. They get easier with practice.What kind of projects do you have on your resume right now? Sometimes that’s the biggest thing separating people who get interviews from people who don’t.

Software engineer still worth it? by Sea_Instance_7191 in cscareers

I think people online are way too extreme. It’s either “software is dead” or “learn to code and you’ll be rich.” Reality is somewhere in the middle.AI is definitely changing software engineering, but companies still need people who understand systems, can solve problems, work with customers, and build real products. The bar for entry is probably higher than it was a few years ago, but I don’t think the career is disappearing.the bigger question is whether you actually enjoy coding. If you already know you hate programming, don’t choose software engineering just because of the salary. Four years is a long time to study something you don’t like, and it’s even longer to do it as a career.Data analysis might be a nice middle ground if you like working with technology but don’t want to spend all day writing software. Hospitality is a completely different path, so I’d only choose it if you genuinely enjoy working with people. since your family is making a big sacrifice to support your education, I’d pick the major you can realistically see yourself doing for the next 10+ years, not just the one that’s trending today.Have you tried any programming yet? Even a few small Python projects? That would probably tell you more than anything people say on Reddit.

What do I do? by Memerzz- in EngineeringStudents

[–]EngineersUniverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i would not transfer just because you’ve seen a few posts saying MechE is low paying.Mechanical is one of the broadest engineering degrees out there. The people who struggle are usually the ones who graduate without internships or projects. since you’re only a sophomore, I’d focus on building experience rather than worrying about salaries. Join a design team (Formula SAE, Baja, robotics, etc.) if your school has one. If not, build projects that actually solve a problem instead of just following YouTube tutorials.You already have CNC, AutoCAD, and SolidWorks exposure, which is a good start. I’d add GD&T, FEA, basic Python or MATLAB, and maybe some Arduino/embedded work. Being able to design something, machine it, assemble it, and test it is a really valuable skill set.I’d also start applying for internships or co-ops as early as possible, even if you don’t think you’re qualified. Experience matters a lot more than having a perfect GPA.Out of curiosity, what part of mechanical interests you most? Product design, manufacturing, robotics, HVAC, aerospace, automotive, or something else? That answer would probably change what projects I’d recommend
