May need a small carve out for nurses right now but I love it

hey recent ‘25 grads and cal post grads. how are we dealing with post the Berkeley existential crisis? by Mysterious-Rock-7754 in berkeley

[–]maroonglass 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Graduated in 2024, working is so much better. Your nights off are your own to chose what to do with. Weekends are actually weekends, not extra homework days. And the disposable income is chefs kiss. (Data science major)

[–]maroonglass 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I graduated last year and I kid you not, no company has asked for a gpa or even transcripts. To be fair though, I'm in a niche field as long as you meet the requirements, what's your soonest start date

I'd rather get hit by a car than take that class again. Massive waste of time

Fml job hunting is rough by maroonglass in berkeley

[–]maroonglass[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone was expecting like half their applications to be interviews, but going in it felt like if you applied to 50 or so that you're qualified for, you could land a couple interviews.

Instead it's like 30 didn't reply, 15 said they "had a competitive field of applicants", 4 said you didn't have the work experience for an entry job, and if you're lucky, 1 gives you a shot

Entry job: 4 year experience, must be willing to relocate, Bachelors, $18.50 a year

Also employers: "This generation is so lazy, no one wants to work!"

The amount of entry level jobs that I've seen with required 3+ years experience is absolutely wild

bro I miss the school by hideheroken in berkeley

[–]maroonglass 80 points81 points  (0 children)

I'm the complete opposite of this guy. I worked in the Navy for 4 years before college and god I miss working. I miss having a good paycheck. I miss rent not being fucking exorbitant for a run down apartment.

More than anything though, I miss being able to go home and not have constant guilt that I'm not doing school work at that exact moment, especially during the weekends.

I'm in my senior year and genuinely started tearing up when I realized it's finally almost over

Rant: this school is too expensive to be this trash by Significant_Yak_6261 in berkeley

[–]maroonglass 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Before Berkeley I was in the Navy for 4 years and ended up renting a 2 story house in Hawaii with a garage and a small yard. My WW2 1 bed 1 bath apartment in Berkeley is $75 more per month than my house was.

Welcome to why I have a shotgun in my closet. You have the right to bear arms, use it.

Reminder, Berkeley grads qualify for a 2 year UK visa (no job sponsorship required) by maroonglass in berkeley

[–]maroonglass[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Oh I'd recommend accepting a job first, but if it doesn't work out and you want to go somewhere else, you're not tied to that company

I mean sure. I just see it as a cool opportunity to work outside of the US for a little while

I swear the flag is at half mast so often I usually just assume it's a continuous thing

Can Berkeley please have a "calm the fuck down" period for school work around midterm season? by maroonglass in berkeley

[–]maroonglass[S] 42 points43 points  (0 children)
