I used to say the same thing to guys who "studied" finance. it's the disdain they carry for people who are off knowingly program and non-compliant with the neoliberal takeover of higher education.
as an older non-trad, people who were in school for some one-note ass discipline, chosen purely from some single-axis value proposition frame tell on themselves like crazy by how hard they are resisting education in favor of becoming credentialed / trained.
Back when I was in college, those were common enough where it's hard to take that fully as a joke.
it was always just the stembros that did the least work. the telling difference between engineers/chemists/mathematicians etc vs computer "scientists" was that we actually went to our lectures and labs lmao
I will never regret minoring in Math but Software Engineering is something better learned through practice than schooling.
It's because I was already being a huge nerd before mentioning it
Noooooooo noooo someone said this to me when they asked what I did and I'm just an awkward little critter noooooo
The thigh high striped socks, skater skirt, off brand chucks, and blahaj were a strong indicator
Whenever the moon is full, it becomes very easy to tell who the CS majors are
Is being a CS grad something to brag about? I am also a CS major, and I'm embarassed as hell that I fell for the FOMO. Would've gone for core branch.
You can always wipe your tears with money.
"Dear Reddit, why are some people mocked and dunked on when they're just smol beans that see themselves as better than everyone else"
I think being a CS dropout is best, now when I tell people I know programming they say "I couldn't tell"
I'm a CS dropout, which is way cooler 😎
Fuck school. I wish I would have just studied humanities or something.
I wish I would have just studied humanities or something.
you and me both lol. Nothing worse than thinking about how I could've just been a librarian earning just as much money I currently am if I hadn't let my friends convince me I'd be broke for life doing library science....L L L L L L L
For me, picking computers degree was more of a last minute drug induced binger than a serious premeditated decision. I just happen to be hanging with some tech bros (one is a socialist now, the other fully reclused himself out of existence). I got the degree easily in 4 years, but they both dropped out and are a billion times smarter than me. They got jobs instantly, but I desperately needed the degree paper because my resume was going to be a long list of waitress positions thrown straight into the trash can without it.
I mean it always made sense if you're trying to make a buck.
I've always loved tech and was really stoked to finally study it in college. I just couldn't find a way to help pay for college so my first year I got a paid internship doing development and a side gig doing retail. It was a life saver, but I also got super burned out doing school and working at the same time, and got to get disillusioned with the tech industry before any of my friends even made it out of college.
I could tell because you've pulled out your phone to show me old pictures of animals with dumb text on them that you found on reddit
