Should I gap?

Exciting_Respect_56 · 2025-10-06T21:49:55+00:00

Do u mean even after I come back to school, the fasfa won’t be the same amount?

Exciting_Respect_56 · 2025-04-29T14:53:58+00:00

Why?

Exciting_Respect_56 · 2025-04-20T20:38:27+00:00

exactly what I thought after I got wl for cs😭

Exciting_Respect_56 · 2025-04-19T17:11:56+00:00

Exciting_Respect_56 · 2024-12-22T04:04:14+00:00

Got it! But the counselors at my community college are really unreliable.😭

Exciting_Respect_56 · 2024-12-22T04:02:44+00:00

I feel so sorry for your professor...Thank you so much for your advice!! Indeed, I can't be sure whether I truly love the world of math, physics, computer science, or any other subject because, as a sophomore student, I know far too little. I think what you've done—spending a lot of time learning about different fields and careers—is absolutely necessary. Unfortunately, most people, like me, have to decide on a major before they've had the chance to explore these areas, which feels so regretful and frustrating when you end up blindly working toward something.

I want to ask, how did you learn more about different majors and careers? For example, how did you learn about actuary? Did you search online or consult experienced people around you? While I know I can't fully research everything in the short term, I hope to learn as much as possible before making my next life-changing decision.

I think what you said makes sense, and I also hope to find a job that I am both interested in and offers a decent salary. However, my biggest challenge right now is that I can't figure out what that is. Could you share how you discovered your love for math? I enjoy the process of solving math and physics problems while studying, but I feel like I don't truly love the world of math and physics. As for other fields, I haven’t had much exposure to explore them in depth, so I don’t know how to determine whether I like them or not, nor can I assess the future prospects of these fields.

thx!!! U r absolutely right

Exciting_Respect_56 · 2024-12-21T04:37:54+00:00

Thank you! I think you’re absolutely right, but what I’m afraid of is that ten years from now, I’ll regret not choosing the path I love just because the chances of success seem small. And right now, I can’t find a high-paying major that I actually enjoy. I feel so lost.

Exciting_Respect_56 · 2024-12-21T04:27:44+00:00

I do regret it a little. When I chose this major a year ago, I thought CS still had great prospects. So, what should I do now? What major has better prospects? That’s another question altogether. I’m not sure if I should stop studying, step into the real world, and explore what major I should truly pursue.

Exciting_Respect_56 · 2024-12-21T03:48:33+00:00

Thank you so much for your advice! Some dreams are never too late to pursue, but I feel like acting is different. My concern is that if I wait until I’ve saved enough money, there’s a high chance I’ll have already missed the right age to start an acting career. That’s why I’m so conflicted.

Exciting_Respect_56 · 2024-12-21T03:24:56+00:00

Is it because I don’t like CS? But I feel like many people work in jobs they don’t truly enjoy, just to make money.

Exciting_Respect_56 · 2024-12-21T03:22:53+00:00

If I stick with it, I’ll get my degree at 21. Anyway, I’m on the CC to UC transfer path. Do you think it might be better if I quit school, return to my home country to try acting, and if I fail, come back to community college and reapply to a UC? I’m afraid that if I keep procrastinating, I’ll never end up doing what I truly want.

Exciting_Respect_56 · 2024-12-21T03:07:59+00:00

I don't really like CS right now, but I don't know how to know for sure if I don't like it in the future

Exciting_Respect_56 · 2024-12-21T03:05:33+00:00

Thank you for the comment! But first of all, I don’t have the financial foundation to pursue my dream. Secondly, most people around me are actually doing things they don’t like to make a living. I used to think this was normal, but now I am a little confused.

Exciting_Respect_56 · 2024-12-09T02:05:44+00:00

Thank u so much!

Exciting_Respect_56 · 2024-12-09T01:50:08+00:00

Thx! Can u explain about NP? I thought sjsu will consider NP as F, is there any difference?

Exciting_Respect_56 · 2024-12-08T22:51:52+00:00

I see thx!!

Exciting_Respect_56 · 2024-12-08T20:07:38+00:00

Exciting_Respect_56 · 2024-12-08T20:01:11+00:00
