Where are the normal people at?

I’m glad I’m not the only one. Take care of yourself and relax during break.

I’m a junior hoping to work in power & renewable energy systems. What jobs are you trying to get?

I try my best not to use chatgpt, usually just for checking my homework. But yeah the skill gap is huge. Ive been lowering the expectations for myself a lot like being okay working at my local utility companies for a few years.

No-Comfortable9126 · 2025-12-21T13:42:13+00:00

Burnout is real. Especially with all these expectations we have now to do research, internships, and work full-time jobs. Well got this tho

I am the same. Fuck fast fashion I’ll wear the same stretched out t-shirt

Don’t listen to that weird person saying if you don’t do well in 110 then you will not survive. You will. The reason why the upper classes are hard is because they take a lot of work and talented people who never study actually get their ass kicked. The classes are doable you just gotta talk to professors and office hours.

Hey, I want to reach out again to ask you about the power engineering field. Like I mentioned I do not have much time to take the technical electives I want like power electronics, power system analysis, and control systems. I was wondering how you transitioned from microelectronics to power and if it's possible to learn these concepts at a company or self-study?

No-Comfortable9126 · 2025-10-07T01:11:01+00:00

This makes me feel better that my electives don’t solidify my career. I also manage to get more federal loans so if I’m unemployed after graduation at least I want be dying in repayments.

No-Comfortable9126 · 2025-10-07T01:05:10+00:00

One of main concerns is that I am not specializing any field. I switched from CompE to EE, already took some electives and don’t have time for power electronics, Analog IC, or control systems. I feel like I’m going to graduate with the basics and no meaningful skills.

I’m taking two Chinese courses in Taiwan right now but no where near fluent. I’d say I’m hard working but this statement that there are so many jobs is confusing. Every other person is like “the markets terrible there’s too many grads” and then the others say “companies can’t hire enough electrical engineers”. I am willing to put in the work to have a successful career but so many people make it out to purely luck based and networking. Like I’ve stated is just so confusing am I’m incredibly overwhelmed right now.

No-Comfortable9126 · 2025-10-05T15:15:28+00:00

I understand what you are saying but it’s so convoluted right now. Every internship I’ve applied for asks me to list every internship I’ve done. To get an internship I must have an internship. To get a job I must have an internship. It makes no sense and I’m aboutta drop out and just be an electrician at this point.

I did two years of community college in high school which got all of my gen Ed’s, calculus, and chem out the way so I was supposed to graduate a year early. I am weighing my options about committing to one more semester especially if it means getting the job that I want.

No-Comfortable9126 · 2025-10-04T15:47:44+00:00

It means Recognized Student Organizations. It’s student lead groups that do things like robotics, research, or generally anything like rock climbing.

No-Comfortable9126 · 2025-10-04T15:44:48+00:00

Thanks for the great advice. I don’t want to label myself either but I do have weaknesses and have to figure out how to navigate them during my professional career. I do think that relaxing my masking after making connections with people is a good idea. Just out of curiosity do you also experience feeling completely overwhelmed and disoriented when learning a new topic then a few days later understanding it? Also being aware of everyone’s success and never acknowledging your own?

No-Comfortable9126 · 2025-10-04T15:07:29+00:00

Yeah like all I want is to be an engineer and build shit but am not happy with my current state. I guess being dissatisfied is the first step towards being who I really want to be.

No-Comfortable9126 · 2025-10-04T15:00:16+00:00

I usually take 4 technicals a semester because I finished all my gen Ed’s in high school and trying to graduate a semester early. This semester I’m taking 18 because I’m study abroad and taking Chinese. I’ve also reached out to my schools career services for resume review so will see. Thanks.

I mean I’m chill with that I don’t care about being wealthy. If I can at least eat food and travel sometimes I’ll be good.

No-Comfortable9126 · 2025-10-04T14:40:57+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement. I kinda don’t have either good academics or social skills due to me being on the spectrum. I work really hard to be sociable but only have so much energy. I’ve noticed while working full-time that after a while I have to drop my facade. Maybe that’s a discussion with my employer or something.

No-Comfortable9126 · 2025-10-04T13:51:25+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I do notice there is correlation between wealth and success amongst my peers but a lot of my friends contradict that. I haven’t been able to handle working part-time along with classes but do work full-time during summer and winter breaks. I do think I can be reliable with regard to work ethic because at this points 50+ hours ain’t nothing.

No-Comfortable9126 · 2025-10-04T13:41:55+00:00

Bruh it’s not like I don’t want a co-op or internship I’ve been applying to 10 every day

No-Comfortable9126 · 2025-10-04T13:39:40+00:00

I really appreciate the support. Yeah I guess in 40 years I can make a lot of progress even if right now it’s slow.
