Actually pretty good, I got promoted and work full time now as a banker. The next step for me would be a job at Merrill Lynch since they make fat quarterly bonuses, like an easy $7k every quarter. I need another year of financial services but I was just on call with the regional market executives 2 weeks ago talking about my future.

My career is really a mystery to me. I took a decent sized promotion early in the year and moved. I've been in my new role for about 5 months now. I barely do anything beyond sit in my office and browse /biz, or trade while at work. All I have gotten is constant praise, and another company just hit me up to see if I'm interested in a position, and threw out a salary about 20% higher than where I'm at. I just roll with it really.

Mechatronics is a fuckin meme degree.

When it comes to engineer degrees, stick to the classic studies that have existed for 30+ years:

Civil
Chemical
Electrical
Mechanical

Everything else is too specialized (i.e. requires specialization/masters degree) and will get blown out when the economy takes a temporary nose dive (recession).

Alternative: Computer Science (still requires Calc 1, 2, 3)

This is such a brainlet allegory. You should be embarrassed, dumbfuck.
How many bosses have you told "fuck you I don't need or want your business faggot?"
That's right, zero, because the boss would just fire you and you'll spend another 6 months looking for a job.
With the customer, you can refuse to take their shit and you can call them a faggot if they're being a faggot. Because you have more customers.

20. I'm scared I'm too dumb for the maritime academy and that I will drop out. If that happens, I'm afraid I don't want to work using my brain, so then I'll probably get into a trade. Even though we have better benefits here in the Netherlands, I'm still jealous of tradesmen in the USA, because of the high wages they can get.
