Looking Back On It...Man College was Bullshyt

[rapbeats]

Depends on what you majored in...

Majored in Engineering so yeah, it was definitely worth it. Wasn't back then no as I didn't have the normal college experience, no parties, no hoes(class was full of guys) , long ass homework I use to hit going over to our main campus and seeing everybody coming out of class with bad ass females . I took Italian my final semester, so many fine girls mayne.


Thinking about going for my masters in the summer as it will be fully paid by my job. At least 95 percent of it.

again did you watch the video? quite a few STEM people in that video.

Yeah, I have seen this video before and do agree that college in general is a money making scheme that doesn't really prepare you for the working world. I empathize with those in those videos because once I got let go after my internship(after graduation), it took me nine months to land a full time job despite good grades. Yes, STEM majors such as engineering aren't safe either. A lot of major corporations are slowly offshoring at the desk engineering work overseas(India) and are not trying to pay fair wages in order to improve their bottom line and bring the share holders more money which means you constantly have to direct yourself towards whats currently in demand within the U.S. A lot of U.S companies are greedy pieces of shyt.

Many of us have no choice but to play the game. I didn't grow up with rich parents and don't have the capital for entrepreneurship so I have to do what it takes to put potentially put myself in a better position. People just have to make the right choice.

Real talk...i fukked as if i was a king of saudi arabia...my dikk loved me for those 2 and a half years lol

 

[Astroslik]

wellll the truth is, nowadays. a lot of these professionals are actually not USING that math. they are allowing ready made formulas in the computer programs to do it for them. which is how you have accountants that dont check their balances on invoices. since its already a formula in the excel spreadsheet, why bother. most people are like that now in most professions. there are a select few people actually using ADVANCED math themselves. not just entering data and allowing a computer to crunch the numbers via formulas

These nikkas won't listen to you

I majored in Econ as well and most of the shyt is all Inputting numbers in statistical ready made software like SAP,SPSS and excel of course

Finance people have the gift of gab in making themselves seem much smarter and complex than what they really are

Funny in these threads about STEM no ones mentions H1B1 visas bein abused to get boys from India on the low. So much so that these cacs be whining to congress & no google it yourself.

Pretty often, I'm an Econ major and do analyses and scenarios all the time.
Architects, Bankers, Engineers, Mathematicians, Computer Programmers, Statisticians, and about 100 other professions use advanced math on a daily basis.

Outside of those that deal with math everyday not many use analyses and scenarios like you.Like I said the average person can barely remember the advanced math they did.I went to college graduated with degrees and I can count on my finger how many times I use statistics in my life and I use to teach as well

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Im not knocking college but lets be real some of the most educated people aren't the most brightest.

I'm a financial analyst for DC Gov. I manage 62 million in grant money from various Fed Agencies. I didn't have to take any exams. My college transcript is littered with math classes because I majored in Electrical Engineering my first 3 years. My background as I posted in my first post is really well rounded. Then on top of that, I'm pretty intelligent, or at least id like to think that. I worked at NASA HQ in DC my first summer out of high school, and my first summer back from college. I had a guaranteed 100k job promised to me from NASA out of college if I majored in Engineering, which is the only reason I gave it a shot. Didn't like the work load, and I wanted to have fun. Dropped it. To be honest, I bullshytted mostly through college. I wouldn't even go to class if it didn't have a bunch of broads, I went to FAMU, but I'm not promoting people do that. First job out of college in 2010, I was making 42K, but I worked hard and networked. 3 years later I got a job making 68K from somebody who reached out to me that I had worked with before. Now im making right at 90k, at a job that someone reached out to me for, that I had worked with before. Had those people not known me, I would have never gotten those jobs, although I never really was on the search. That's why I say networking is probably as important, if not more important than what you know. It's not enough for you to know people, but people should also know you, your work ethic, and you character in the work place. Best believe I ain't the same nikka in the office that I am in the street.

All im saying breh is you didnt need that babbage ass pysch degree

I wasted time but black people for now have to get degrees in technical stuff then the following generations can get cute and creative. We need more black attorneys. It's overflowing with cacs and "diversity" is needed.

We are sorely misrepresented in law, especially international business law, where the money is (Africans are seeing the need to study this to biggup to them). Being misrepresented in law keeps us out of controlling local and national public policy.

Pure cs?

Computer science

I agree. But i played in college, and it got to a point where my people were like just finish in anything, so i looked at my credits, and psychology/sociology were my 2 quickest ways out. I wouldn't recommend anybody major in psychology unless they are looking to work in that field, because you really need an advanced degree to be able to practice, and make any money in the field. I'm just saying networking is extremely important, and unless you are in a highly specialized field (Doctor,Lawyer,Engineer), what your degree is in, in alot of cases, may not mean as much as who knows you, and who knows what you can do.

lol, I just mentioned it earlier. Also the things they do is they bring in these h1b1 visa guys, have the establish engineer train them(its hard as hell to train someone over the phone due to the accent barrier) and then when they go back, they train another group of Indian which effectively moves it overseas.

I work with older white people, they are very pissed to see the way the way corporations treat them now. Even those with the "how about they move, how about they get a better job, I pulled myself by my bootstrap" are starting to see how unfair these companies are. They are slowly starting to side with low wage workers because they see how these companies are thinning upper management.

welcome to the world

 

[O.T.I.S.]

That's why I say learn a trade if you don't want to go to school.

Learn how to do shyt... Fix cars, fix computers, etc.,

I wanted to go for the college experience now I just want that peice of paper and knowledge to get me a better job in the future.

That's why I went to military as well, I knew paying for college was bullshyt. Should've got a scholarship though
