>dropped out of computer science
>dropped out of electrical engineering
I am just not a tech guy. I am now 26 and have been working at a grocery store for a year trying to figure out what I want to do.
I liked college, I liked learning and hitting the books, I like maths and structure but I absolutely despise technology. I hate C programming, I hate electronics, I hate Databases, I hate artifical intelligence, I hate electrical stuff and I absolutely despised the 80% of nerds that are in these fields.
So what do I do?

Incorrect. A Business Degree is an Opportunity to Build a Network and Start your Business Career. Get a Business Degree to get the Connections to Learn the Ropes then go for a Master's in Business Administration at Harvard Business School to Expand your Network and Put yourself in a Position to Become a Founder.

Why do you use so many capital letters at the start of words?

it first glance it looked like you were recommending a book with a very long title. Why do you type like that?

Mathematics and then specialize in nuclear
Chem fags are less autistic than physics fags and you still have mathheads if you want autists.
>t. Mechanical engineering student
Also
>Tech to cool down turbines
Mitsubishi uses a 1650°C fluid to run their nuclear turbines but unless i use Rene N5, the incelnel either melts or yields due to thermal pressure.
Japs didn't just use material science and half ass the film cooling and ceramics did they? Since they should be able to go higher temp if they did use Rene, it would be inefficient desu.
So far i've seen
>Film cooling
>Effusion cooling
>Convection cooling
>Ceramics
>Running it so that it specifically deforms less and you can lower cleaence between the wall and yhe the turbine blades
>Fucking nuclear physics like phonon engineering so they blast heat to the air without somehow explaing
>Somehow built in seebeck generator
In the realm of pure fantasy:
>Pumping heat to the blade atoms and then quantum tunnelling them away from the super heated zone, with another channel constantly replacing with equal amount of new, cold material
Would this destroy the crystal structure though?

medicine is recession proof and guarantees you upper middle class income. its even in such demand they are lowering requirements.

pay attention to the world around you. the average age in america in 1970 was like 28 years old. its now 44. most of the population is retired or on welfare. the reason why they brought over infinity immigrants is because boomers are about to retire and require insane amounts of healthcare.

i sometimes wish i had done medicine instead of cs even though i am employed

It seems like working at a grocery store is your calling, bro. Just embrace it.

What's the easiest way to get into the field without a degree?
>>
>>106696150
Just move to finland and become a firewood cutter.

>>106696624
I am too shy and introverted for medicine. I would burn out in a job caring about people.
>>106696776
I don't know what I want. My idea would be to look into economics, business or accounting but how would I know if I actually like these? With tech it's so easy, just buy the C programming book, study it, do the exercises, build a small project and you see if you like it or not. Or you buy "The Art of Electronics" and then tinker with some circuits.
But how do you know if you like accounting? Or business?
>>
>>106696150
Get a business degree and then an MBA so you can get paid six figures to make slides and outsource for quarterly gains that sell out any hope of a future.

I studied international relations / trade / development in the early 2000s which then nobody cared about because trade was free the world was by and large peaceful and things only seemed to be going in that direction, so I never used the degree at all. If it'd kept on top of that subject now its obviously VERY in demand but too late oh well. You can't time the market don't even try.
>>
Civil engineering maybe? If you haven't figured out what you want yet, pick something you think seems least shit.
>>
>>106696848
you dont know so you need to find out champ, it sounds like the grocery store is a good fit for you
>>
>>106696830
it depends on your state but nursing is like literally 1 year of online courses and 1 year of clinicals to make >70k start where i live. ymmv. the older and shittier your state is the more you start out at. you need a degree and theyre not hard courses really. ive taken some of them and theyre nowhere near a comp sci difficulty course. its community college work bro and even the RN stuff is online uni work.
clinicals are probably NOT fun but you stocking shelves at walmart isnt going to be fun either.

>>106696848
yeah every terminally online nerd says and thinks this. im telling you right now just grow out of that in your early 20s and save yourself some time. intentionally hindering your development is something you will regret.

also lol @ economics and business. these were bad degrees even 10 years ago in a much better economy. with econ i had an instructor in college who had an econ degree and lucked his way into IT.


seriously if anyone here is considering IT or any sort of tech work, get with reality. you are not getting a job unless congress sends home all the immigrants (40% of software engineers in the US are immigrants right now) or you know somebody. in very rare cases you could build something and someone might be impressed enough to hire you. chances are you arre not that rare case.
this market sucks even if you have multiple years of exp in anything.
there are easier ways to earn a middle class income than getting into tech right now lol. its incredibly stressful at times. all work is but imagine that your job necessitates a clear mind free of stress to do anything at all.

dont know why i bothered writing this who gives a fuck. people rarely listen to advice that coutneracts their plans anyway. tech is a bloodbath right now and every guy thats used a computer under 30 has decided to do it. i even had a fucking literal granny in one of my upper level cs courses.

What about accounting? I like maths and working with structure.
>>
>>106696150
Just get into webdev. I am paid to update i18 labels and to make components accessible. Pretty comfy life. Especially if you manage to move to eastern europe where you can live like a king with less

>>106696169
fpbp. you already lost OP.

>>106696150

find out local e-thot product combo and never carry home anything else?
>>
>>106696830
>>106696953
oh yeah to elaborate, there are jobs that you can do with very minimal training in healthcare but they dont pay well. like you can become a phlebotomist with 4 weeks of courses but it pays min wage. where i live radioimaging and nursing are the big ones that guarantee decent living in this new england shithole. look stuff up for your area, its probably not much different.


>>106696986
dont know. you gotta research whats ACTUALLY in demand. the bureau for labor statistics did not predict the 2020s at all with tech.
basically for your area you probabl want to look at some news articles, wages, published statements by gov depts for your state about what skilled jobs are in demand where you live.
its very tough because the econ is in such shit and most everything that isnt in insane demand requires that you know somebody who will hire you. theres almost nothing that beats out this truth in life. people are going to hire family, friends, friends of friends, alumni, and then at the very last rung of that they might consider cold apps. theyll take even unskilled people that they know over someone mildly more qualified.

naturally take what i said with a grain of salt, im just some guy that graduated during 2008 recession and only recently lucked out on not being in perma poverty for once in my life. you really have to be an active, clever person trying to figure out how to earn a living in this shit ass boomer ruined economy though. do not just blindly do what people say.
>>
>>106697052
>>106696986
oh yeah and look at what big companies are in your area, what your local economy looks like, etc..
>>
>>106696150
You might consider Drafting. I pretend to work and browse Reddit 70% of the day and collect paycheck. If Chris-chan can do it, so can you.

Isnt AI a lot more math than programming?

>I would burn out in a job caring about people.
Dont worry, by the time youre done with med school the customer facing human touch part would be outsourced to AI
>>
>>106696150
Law, Medicine, Pharmacy, Accounting, other tedious business related shit like HR, Public Policy, Education Administration, and so on.

Do you have a large cock? If so, have you considered jerking off for gay men on chaturbate for tips? You can apply your tech knowledge and set up a nice camera and capture device.
