All this shyt is a breeze
I would have been a 4.0 student in both, if I read the material
College GPA is currently 3.33, have one C that I'll get a grade replacement for.

What are you studying, breh?
I’m a big fan of education. It opens up so many doors.
One is free and one likely requires taking on debt.Am I buggin or do y'all agree?
High school for me:
-Not really grasping the material
-Constantly angry/moody teachers
-Trying to impress/schmooze people by being a class clown
-Dealing with petty ass high school drama & immaturity
-When I'm trying to pay attention, some goofy ass being disruptive
-Constantly in a daze trying to keep up with homework/due dates/tests and quizzes
College for me:
-Go to class & jot down notes from the PowerPoint/Prezi/lecture
-If there's homework, I can go to the library and do it in a quiet, friendly space, using a computer for research/typing it if need be
-If it's a difficult class (like remedial math & college algebra was for me) I can go to the STEM lab/library and find a tutor to help me
-If it's not necessarily a hard class but there's a LOT of studying/reinforcement of info (like philosophy/biology), I can get a hot cocoa, go to the library, cozy up at a large table with a lamp/reading light and a outlet to charge my phone, in a comfortable office chair (they're like love seats on wheels) and take out my textbook/notes/flashcards and study
-The clubs/organizations are more fun than high school
-I'm passing all my classes because I actually LIKE THEM
-I recently started studying/perusing some GMAT workbooks and they're easy as hellIt's just critical thinking & deciphering patterns
It might just be because I actually love my major, and I started taking Adderall for my ADHDBusiness administration/marketing/business communications. A WHOLE LOTTA people choose majors purely off of the potential money or because they have no clue what they want to do & choose something easy. You have to find out how to monetize your passion, which is cliche af but true. The only painful/boring part of college is actually paying for it, and spending hours studying for the final exam, but other than that it's a breeze.

Undecided really. Just getting an AA now
Looking at Accounting, Computer Science, or Communications.
Would love Accounting or Computer Science but my math skills are piss poor.
A communication degree is actually pretty valuable, despite its reputation as an “easy” degree. Every company needs good communication in all aspects of the business
If you’re not good at math, CS is gonna be very difficult.
Accounting seems very boring. But it does pay well though, I guess

I love you, you know.
For me (mech engineering) it wasn't easier...but DAMN is was funner!

I think HS >>> college as far as the workload is concerned.
Tbh, when I started my freshman year of HS I was lazy as fukk because when I was in middle school I had little to no homework. So when I started getting hw assignments I would do half of them or none. I eventually got it together though. I graduated with a 3.5 GPA the only classes I had problems with were Math. I hated doing algebra.
In college it was way worse than HS because when I started, my HS counselor never transferred my transcript over to the school I was going to. So I had to take prep classes (english/math). Then I transferred to a new school a few yrs later. When I started taking classes at the new school I can remember doing homework assignments into the middle of the night for history/english courses. Crazy.

less stressful.
didn't feel like I was forced to be there.
there were semesters where I only had 5 classes. 3 on M-W-F....2 on T-TH. shyt was a breeze.
highschool coming of age bullshyt is gone.
you get to pick your classes and all kinds of other shyt to make your college experience tailor made for you.

I was in college for 12 years total. 4 undergrad, 2 masters, 6 PhD.
Classes are easy as fukk in undergrad and grad. The thing that was truly hard was my master’s thesis (87 pages) and doctoral dissertation (212 pages).
You really got to be self motivated, dedicated, and have a good work ethic to complete a dissertation. I’m glad I did it, but it was not fun at all. Half the people I started my doctoral program with dropped out. They couldn’t handle their diss.

What you see, is what you get
A. Middle & HS both are designed to baby sit teens especially if you went to public school. Agreed you don't learn shyt.
B. I know when I was going to school the first time around. I was in accountant classes damn near 4 hrs w/only 15 min break. Not cool. I remember going to 8 & 9 am math classes. I got smarter and start taking 10am classes. That's what I liked about college the freedom.
BA: Psychology
MA: I/O Psychology
PhD: Organizational Studies (focus on org psych and org comm)
But, for my job, I'm a Sr. User Experience Researcher (a job located in the Human Computer Interaction field, broadly speaking). It might seem strange to be working in a heavy tech, HCI field, but given my strong background in social science research methods (qual and quant), the jobs I'm qualified for are pretty varied. Essentially, my training in statistics and research methods applies to many different fields. I love technology, so UX research is a good fit for me.

Oh shyt breh. I’m actually considering doing I/O psychology for my masters. How is the job outlook for that? (Currently doing bachelors in psychology)
Seems like you got a dope gig
An I/O master's is definitely in demand. You can go 2 different ways with an I/O degree: Human Resources/Personnel or Organizational Behavior/Organizational Dynamics. Both routes can lead to very good jobs. I personally find HR and personnel to be very boring, but several of my classmates really love their HR jobs. I find OR and OB to be more interesting (it's more of a "research" route and not all about tests and measures, like HR is).Oh shyt breh. I’m actually considering doing I/O psychology for my masters.

I suggest taking an I/O Psych class while you are finishing up your bachelor's. I/O is not for everybody, as some people find it to be boring compared to experimental or social psych. It's also heavily grounded in statistics and research methods (which is why it's such a valuable degree). If you are able to take a course in I/O at the undergrad level, I think it could give you a good idea about what you might be getting yourself into.
