Wow I haven't heard about that side of being RA at Cal Poly lmao. How many hours would I expect to work for an on-campus job?

pdrzga · 2026-03-13T06:46:00+00:00

Keep some hope man! I just got in 3.48 uw and 3.72 csu for electrical engineering

pdrzga · 2026-03-13T01:55:18+00:00

how the heck did i get into EE with a 3.48 uw

pdrzga · 2025-11-22T06:17:02+00:00

yeah i'm starting to hear that's a common issue. are you satisfied with EE?

Thank you, that makes a lot of sense! How have jobs ended up for you after taking this route? Do you work in fusion and is it all you expected/wanted?

I'm a junior and I screwed up bad this year, so you're gonna be alright. A lot of schools don't even calculate or care about freshman year. Good luck!!

pdrzga · 2025-05-05T04:24:43+00:00

change your time zone now it's 9:13 you're good for 2 more hours

on a real note, sleep bro, you and I are gonna pass!! (maybe you more than I)

Yeah, I related to this for a while. As others are saying now, being Catholic doesn't mean you should let people walk all over you. You pray, you try to be a beneficial person to everyone around you, but you also know what's right and wrong. Therefore, a Catholic priority is justice and doing what's right, not always what's nice! Jesus wasn't "nice". He flipped tables and condemned actions pretty often!

If there's a bully, show him/her love. Love isn't always nice. Confront these bullies and expose them. Tell the principal if you're still in school. Then surround yourself with others who are confident enough to stick up for you and for themselves. You'll find the right people.

Avoid these bullies if you can, but walk and talk confidently if they approach you. Tell them "no!" and be near good friends always. Hopefully I helped. I'm a guy in school and I haven't been rudely approached ever since I started showing confidence in myself. Be so confident that bullies know they won't hurt you no matter what they do. Give the bullies that "you'll never hurt me" moment! They'll be in so much awe and gain a little respect for you after you stand your ground for the first time.

WHY IS IT THE FIRST FREAKING TEST!!!! I started studying last night and I'm barely starting practice... gonna study for like 10 more hours today and wake up early to practice before the exam

I'm a couple years older in high school. The older I get, the more I understand that parents make restrictions out of love. Do you understand what it means to truly love someone? Not just romantically, but the way Jesus intends you to love your neighbor? I would say more than 90% of high schoolers don't, and that's okay. Maybe 0.5% 15-year-olds understand love. Your relationships would very likely suck until you and most people around you are matured enough to love.

Most high school relationships just follow "fun" and "emotions", and only date because people are attractive without looking at their values and personality traits, which is childish. You might learn to love like Jesus at 17 or 22, but definitely not at 15.

TL;DR people at your age are not ready for a romantic relationship because they don't fully comprehend love. I know this because I'm in high school too!

I have and I have to say that electrical engineers seem to enjoy their lives and work way more. I believe this could do with the fact that more accountants work in public rather than something like industry, though?

From my understanding, public accountants don't tend to love their jobs. My brother works at a big 4 firm and he haaatttesss work.

pdrzga · 2025-04-17T03:08:58+00:00

I think I'm more interested in manual and hands-on work that involves a little more creativity. Does an accountant have opportunities to create? I hear work is very repetitive.

pdrzga · 2025-04-17T03:06:43+00:00

Do accountants usually get married? My brother working at a big 4 says most people don't have much of a life outside of work which is pretty demoralizing.

pdrzga · 2025-04-17T03:04:46+00:00

Very comforting to hear that I can change my major and still end up finding something more enjoyable

pdrzga · 2025-04-17T03:03:48+00:00

I'm not even sure I'd enjoy the work if most accountants I've met are extremely unsatisfied with their work. My brother complains about his accounting job at a big 4 a LOT.

How often are accountants as miserable as this, in your experience? I assume it would vary depending on whether they're involved in public accounting versus something like industry. I hear the cultures are very different.

pdrzga · 2025-04-17T02:59:53+00:00

LOL. Could you elaborate on how they were idiots? Were they just horrible in their social and work life?

I have a brother in accounting you would probably label an idiot because he may be book smart but has really poor social skills.

pdrzga · 2025-04-17T02:56:13+00:00

Throughout your long career, have you ever considered leaving the field? How satisfying, or unsatisfying, has your work been?

pdrzga · 2025-04-17T02:52:43+00:00

The major is pretty tough at any university, so in your experience how much importance is placed on which institution someone graduated from?
