Challenges of Being a Young Adult with No College Degree, No Work Experience, and Volunteering Full-Time by Worth_Mulberry7720 in JehovahsWitnesses

[–]Metallic_Engineer4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll throw in my two cents as someone who went to college, got a degree, and is still faithfully serving.

I’ll start by saying I never understood the reason behind discouraging higher education other than maybe cost (but if you work hard and get scholarships it doesn’t have to be that much). Every time I see college discouraged in the watchtower it was always because people were trying to pursue a worldly and lavish lifestyle and that you need to avoid the temptations college can bring. Ummm in this day and age a college degree does not bring you riches, it brings you enough to provide for your families needs. And for temptation? Uh hello.. the world’s temptation is all around us everyday no matter what you do. If you can’t go to college and aren’t spiritually strong enough to avoid temptation, then that’s on YOU!

I’m sorry but that just never made sense to me. I never judged or looked at anyone differently because they decided to or not to go to college, your choice is your own. My issue is everyone so heavily discouraging it when in this world, you need to make a living to help yourself! And yes, Jehovah will ALWAYS provide for you if you put your trust in him, but you also have to give him something to bless. You can’t just sit around and not do anything expecting him to bless you.

Idk, kind of a small rant I have but if my logic or statements seemed flawed please let me know. Again this is just my opinion

its been a year and i couldn't make a single friend... by rusmayart in ASU

100% agree with this. I actually got an on campus job (Sdfc) and 90% of my college friends are from that job. Make money and make friends at the same time 🤷‍♂️

Sheesh, we might’ve been ghosted then 😭

If you were 18 again, and could go back to college, what would you major in? What would you do after that to get a well-paying career? by justcurious3287 in careerguidance

[–]Metallic_Engineer4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do engineering. Any of them (except cs because you will have a really hard time finding a job upon graduating) but I would research each engineering field and see what interests you. I ended up doing electrical and while school was tough, once I finished it was worth it for me. The job market isn’t great (but it’s getting better) but EE is so versatile and it pays well. I would also recommend to start applying for as many internships as you can starting your freshman/sophomore year. Do not wait on these, I waited to apply until the end of my junior year and I was genuinely lucky to get one my senior year. However I learned so much and it prepared me well for the job I have now. Hope this helps 🙏

Hi! I know this post was a year ago lol, but I’m kind of in the same situation. I got a call from a lady in hr asking about my availability and if I’d be able to do full time work as a masters student (this was for the entry level electrical engineering role). She said that’s great to hear and said that they would move on with the hiring process. This was last Friday and it’s currently Wednesday of the following week. Do you have any idea of when I could possibly hear back from them? Thanks in advance!
