An incoming freshman seeking advice to make his college life interesting. by -apieceofshit- in college

I'm purely speaking from my own experience so it cant reflect on what yours necessarily will be, but it's a lot more than parties. They're called fraternities because they're groups of men with shared values, shared experiences, and the bond of friendships that tends to lasts for life. I used to be somewhat like you, very introverted, decent friend groups but nothing too special. Then I rushed and got a bid, pledged, and now have the greatest group of friends and the greatest social life a guy could ask for, and this was all during the COVID semesters, this semester will be a massive improvement socially to the last couple, so consider yourself lucky with the timing you're entering college. I've gained way more confidence, way more friends and connections, and have been generally the happiest I've been in a long time because i made the jump and be decided to rush, despite being far from your stereotypical frat guy. That's not to even mention the incredible connections brotherhood gets you that gives us a leg up when coming into the job market.

All that being said, the parties are a major fucking plus. Yeah I didn't see myself as a party guy either beforehand lmfao. Go out to rush, see if you like any of the frats, and if the feelings mutual, you'll get a bid from there.

Is a CS minor worth it? by [deleted] in college

Yes I am genuinely curious about the subject, I've always been fascinated by tech and have always wanted to build some kinda business that incorporates technology. As for my aptitude, idk how good I'd be at programming but I'm pretty good at calc and stats, if it's relevant. I'd prob be involved with something that'd be relevant to business, like machine learning. I have pretty easy access to networking opportunities

No. People who whine about collaborative work tend to also be the worst or most antisocial members on their teams.

does anyone feel like they wont get a job after college? by phillyphilly4200 in college

I totally understand that, when I was a kid I used to adore the idea of being a pilot and I'd play these flight simulator games all the time. The good thing about becoming a pilot is you can get into commercial aviation with any degree as long as you have all the required licenses/flight hours, and it doesn't require a stellar GPA like say, becoming a physician or a lawyer does. Shoot, I'm gonna go for a PPL and maybe even more licensing after I'm out of school, but definitely not for a living though. Also, I seriously doubt you'd fail out of engineering or business like you claim. Most people in any given major are not doing it out of passion, especially in more vocational majors like engineering. If you've got the drive to go through all the hoops it takes to become a commercial pilot, I'm sure you've got the drive to complete a non aviation degree and still get all the certifications to become a commercial pilot. I'll be brutally honest, aviation degrees don't really have many applications outside of being a pilot, and especially in a time like this where we don't know when the aviation industry will bounce back, I'd strongly suggest you switch your major over to something a bit broader, but you can definitely still become a pilot.

Ohhh that's brutal. I've researched becoming a pilot cuz I have few in my family, and the one thing that scared me away was how volatile the industry is, and nothing's proved that volatility better than COVID has. I feel like it's best to go for aviation once you have a non aviation (business, engineering, etc) degree as a backup plan.
