I'm a senior college student. Math and CS double major. I feel I've been losing my interest in software; most job postings are uninteresting to me. What should I do?
Look at the ones that aren't uninteresting and do projects and undergrad research and internships catered to those.
Finish your degree then go apply for jobs you are interested in even if you don't have the right credentials. Employers only care if you are smart enough to learn on the job and your degree will demonstrate that. It might take a while but it's better than starting over again.
>>34007331Finish your degree and THEN decide what you want to be when you grow up. You are NOT limited to the subjects you studied - there are many careers where it is the fact of the degree that matters, not the subject. You need no particular major for sales, marketing, banking, real estate, Wall Street, etc etc etc
>>34007331>senior college studentyou already burned this much money, you really should finish (if you were considering otherwise)>Math and CS double majoryour smarts put you above the boodcamp nodejs/webdev folk, so that's handywith that background, you actually understand the black box of numbers driven autocomplete people call aiwhile I presume it depends on the program, the cs department where I went had classes that actually looked to be relevant in the industrymy business degree in (computer) information systems (programming computers without a ton of math requirements) had classes on windows (.net) development and (oracle) sql, so nothing I would want to directly usethe fact that a system administration role was a typical path for that degree, when they did fuckall to teach the concepts, was surprising to methe programming logic and sql provided me with a stable foundation but I got my my first job primarily due to my hobby/tinkeringall of the jobs I have had were entirely dependent on my friends getting me in the door; sometimes, as I just found out, even that isn't enough in this fucking job marketyou do stuff that is interesting beyond the prescribed course work ... right?have you have made friends during your tenure? are you a member of a meeting/club/group, ideally outside of college where people are already in the industry?>most job postings are uninteresting to mewell, sounds like a few aren't; focus on those?>What should I do?the thing I enjoy doing for a paycheck the most is not something I went to school for, getting exposed to it was a side effect of a company I worked atfor the love of god, be familiar with market rate and work the amount you are paid; I have been taken advantage of with shit pay, having worked for 50-75% under market rate/what I could get my entire career _and_ hitting burnout and losing the will to live
