I’ve hired at least 15 people and never checked their degree. I’ll call their job references though.

After your first job, your job experience is 99% of what people look at. College degree is a check the box at that point.

I’d say shoot for a small growing company, 200 employees or less.

topkek, no they don't. The only jobs that actually directly check that shit are government jobs. That and if you require any form of licensure (like in healthcare) the state board will need to be shown proof that you got an accredited degree. But for the vast majority of jobs, literally nobody bothers checking that shit.

And protip: same goes with work experience. If you're in the catch-22 of "can't get a job becaues no experience, can't get experience because no job" just make some shit up. Or completely and ridiculously over-embellish what you have. If they catch on, oh well, on to the next one.

>>25859125

Which nowadays is most jobs. Yeah, if you work in a specialized field like healthcare, engineering, etc, you probably shouldn't (or it's impossible to bother if your job requires a license that itself requires proof of having a degree).
But for the other 95% of jobs out there, having a degree doesn't matter in terms of actual job ability. You learn everything on the job anyway, and like you said, employers just use degrees as a filter because it's a buyer's market and they have fucktons of applicants.

>>25862468
they legally cannot. You would need to provide that access for them. And I've literally never had a job besides government where they actually want you to submit transcripts.
The university ponzi works, despite all the holes to subvert it, simply because the vast majority of people still have trust in the system, and only a tiny minority of people would even think about lying about it.

There was recently this lady who got convicted of impersonating a pharmacist. She worked for walgreens for 10 fucking years and nobody in upper-management there even bothered to check and make sure she actually has a pharmacist license.

And we're talking a highly regulated field here, with state boards specific to the profession, licensure requirements, actual laws about it being illegal to impersonate a pharmacist or to dispense medications without a license, etc etc etc. And she STILL got away with it for 10 fucking years before anyone even noticed.
Now imagine what it's like at normal jobs with no licenses and where nobody really gives a shit about your college degree.

I know all to well, friend. Sounds like you were a design engineer - mechanical/plumbing systems or similar?
I worked for an MEP design firm as a mechanical engineer for 3 years. Drawings, specs, cad, revit, the whole 9 yards. I didnt like it either, but the majority of why is because I never liked engineering in the first place. Didnt even choose it myself as a major, got pushed into it.
Spent 3 years at that job and left a few months ago for a project management/construction management engineering job with the government at a wastewater facility. Still hate it and only working for the money - im 27 and making 100k now which is decent, but I feel burnt out every day.
What do you do now?

Engineering cam be soul draining, or maybe it's the fact that'll like you I didn't really enjoy it. People think there is prestige behind it but its all a big lie.

for example, IT engineer or IT systems engineer, or IT etc.

Sounds like you already have the skills and the tools to be an illustrator, I hope it works out for you. I think honestly, if you enjoy what you do in some respect, or are interested in it, you can continually improve at it and become better or more valuable. It's when you genuinely don't care for something that you'll never be the best you can be.
I totally agree with you about engineering. I mean, when I worked in design I had bosses and coworkers who lived and breathed it. They loved it; they would do it outside of work. I was the complete polar opposite. I wasnt even interested enough to research it outside of work for my own benefit. When I got home there was nothing engineering related about me.
Part of the reason I don't like it is because I've never been convinced that I'm capable of being an engineer. Not that I'm not smart, but I just dont have the type of brain/thinking for it. And that's fine. Engineering just does nothing for me.
If it wasn't for the money, I wouldve left a long time ago. But now I feel stuck since I dont know how i'd make this money doing something else.
I also feel like imposter syndrome quite often. Like I have no clue what I'm doing but my coworkers/supervisors always give me rave reviews on my work and ability to catch on to things quickly. I think my strength is being able to adapt - I couldve got a degree in anything but I'm a mouthbreather when it comes to understanding shit quickly - definitely not gifted but smart enough to get by in any environment.
I dont know what else I could do. But often times I think I'd take a 50% paycut from 100k to 50k just to not feel the stress and anxiety. Then I think that if I ever want to make it financially or have a family then I have to swallow my pride.

no, IT is very very broad, there is systems engineering where you are essentially just a sysadmin (you babysit servers sort of) , programming etc. etc. if you pick one where people are

boring, not sociable, not well groomed you are going to have a very easy time and it will actually make you more believable if you are rude and just dont answer questions lmao

dont go over the top of course but if you want to fake something, dont pick something that will get you into trouble with other people , and picking a field with normies is a very good way to get into trouble

pick something boring, where there are many job openings, so the company is desperate to hire you

IT admin, Linux admin, Devops , that kind of shit, just tell them you dont have much experience ; if you still cant get a job then add more and more experience until you get one

and then you can actually get experience

and the pay is great, youll be surrounded by nerds and not normies who will try to make your life miserable

and if you want to move on from there you can do that , but if you actually continue to try to work as an illustrator/artist w/e or you go back to school you are fucking yourself out of very good life years for nothing

Shit I'm sorry fren, I understand the rut more than anyone else. You are definitely smart but engineering isn't stimulating you like your cohort who find pleasure doing it on their own time. Was there ever an aspect of engineering or stem you enjoyed during school? A class you really enjoyed that you can recall? Also, an engineering background and degree can open the doors for other fields not necessarily directly involved with engineering that you may enjoy more and might closely match your pay grade.

trust me, i've worked as a sysadmin for a wihle, its really, really easy, and if you are new you can always request help and you'll learn stuff actually that you can continue to use in your career

you need 0 ambition to be a unix administrator, or do a systems engineer type of job, i've seen underpaid/outsourced indians (considering im one myself) that literally couldn't even solve very basic problems with google/by reading the manual that did this job

> scholarship
> internship

dont do any of this.... ur gonna waste years for nothing , these degrees are good if you want to actually compete against other people for the top jobs , but do you really want to do that?

Hard to recall a class I thoroughly enjoyed to be honest. Maybe heat transfer or fluids, or vibrations. But I think other things besides engineering interest me mostly.
Sometimes I wish I did accounting or something, that way I'd at least only ever be stressed because of the *amount* of work and not because I felt incapable of doing it. Some folks told me to look into an MBA but I dont want to go back to school or get into debt again, so meh. Also thought about sticking it out for a few years and moving somewhere more affordable.
