[Rollo Goodlove]

And engineering too can any of the experienced brehs give me some advice







For the fewtcha and beyond?

Before anyone else answers, factor in engineering as well


Edit: also IT

Does this look like fukking college confidential?

CS

Check out a channel on YouTube called Engineered Truth. It has a lot of information from actual people in those fields.

Finance and CS are both two very different fields of study. CS is more focused on coding and Finance math, money (idk too much about finance)

it's like comparing apples and oranges, choose what suit you best. But, if you only think in terms of money, finance is a much easier path than computer science

Finance if you don't want a cap on your future earning potential. CS if job security and flexibility to get a job just about anywhere with less stress, less hours and a easier work environment

Just attend a 12 week coding boot camp and pray cacs give u a chance to work for them.


or spend 5 years getting a csci degree like I did for undergrad and still have the same chances for employment as a cac that just started learning how to code last week

Choose what u wanna do that makes you happy. I have a GANG a friends that that obtained degrees in fields that they didn't care about and were just chasing checks.

Now these nikkas got responsibilities like wives, kids, houses, and are miserable as fukk cuz they can't just start over

shyt's sad...my nikkas be hitting me up bout damn near in tears cuz they hate their jobs

I just talked to my nikka from Highschool that works at the nuclear plant @ duke energy. Dude is thinking about quitting and opening up a barbershopI told ths nikka u got 3 kids and you're just gonna have to suck that shyt up and provide. He married and Korean chick too

Finance jobs are not stressful unless you work in the investments field, i'm a financial analyst and this is the less stressful and boring job you can find, but you'll never get the salary of someone who work in the financial market.

I can handle computers and I love math and interacting with people

so coding ain't worth it?

It's a difficult question because it's too much of an estimation. At one point I was trying to decide between CS and engineering and I opted for engineering. Now, close to the end of engineering, I regret not doing CS, or a different engineering discipline, because ChemE isn't as interesting as I thought it would be. A few people I know share similar thoughts about expectations coming into engineering vs. after doing it for a few semesters. It's really up to what you think would be most interesting and what you plan to do once you get the degree. I hope that money isn't your primary motivation.

i never said that, coding is probably one of the most lucrative skills u can learn. im just saying the tech industry is pretty fukking racist

Don't do cs if you are only motivated by pay. If you are only motivated by pay just cut that in half and become a nurse.
