INCOMING MASSIVE PROTIP:

Major in something that will earn you money.

If you major in something following your dreams, you WILL NOT have opportunity to switch to a more lucrative career path later in life if you grow up and realize taking a financial hit wasn't worth it because you will be FUCKING POOR and living month to month.


If you major in something that actually makes money, you WILL have opportunity to follow your dreams later in life if you grow up and realize a mundane life wasn't worth the extra cash because you WON'T be FUCKING POOR and living month to month so you will actually be able to take time to pursue elsewhere.


Age 20-30 should be all about making as much money as possible to end dependence on your parents and get a stable life of your own. You can pursue that art/game design/social worker/teacher or whatever other low pay or difficult to break into industry of your choice in your 30's-40's.

This is true for social workers and teacher's, but not Art and the game industry.

Art and Gaming can actually be extremely well paying, the problem is idiot's who don't realize that no one will hire them in those industries unless their portfolio is top notch regardless of college education. No game studio is going to hire you as a character artist if you can't produce work up to par with Next gen standards.

So retards get their Bachelor of arts degree while partying it up instead of working on honing their artistic skills, and then end up out of college no better than when they started and -50k in the hole from student loans.

Sounds about right. I'm only getting my degree because my parents are forcing me to have "something to bounce back on". The moment I picked art as my major, I know and is aware that I'll be dependent on my parents for quite some time. I'm planning on spending a few years unemployed after my graduation to grind my skills, and/or actually going to find some artist to apprentice under. I would've start doing that 3 years ago if not for my nagging parents. I have to say though, some of the classes I've taken, especially the art classes, really broaden my world view and knowledge, so I can't really say college is useless/pointless.

Game design isn't really something you hire new grads for, it's an experienced and privileged position. If you want to do game design, your best bet is to go indie.

Lets see, in the four years I took that course I have 1subject in mobile communication, tons of useless electrical theory, assembly, machine, c programming and logic design. Basically basic low level programming to high level programming. Took 1image processing opengl class as well. In my thesis in I did an image processing/recognition automated machine.
Guess what did I end up doing now after my degree?

Went into the telecommunication field where nothing I learn in school can be applied. Basically I just wasted 100k on my study to earn a toilet paper roll just so I got a job where they will need to retrain after every 1 year due to new technological advances.

Completely soulless job that pays extremely well, and you can retire early if you live frugally.

I'm living in a $4000 single dorm, where my bathroom is cleaned weekly, a grocery store, laundry room, and printer all located not even 2 minutes walking distance away, the cafeteria I can optionally eat at has more food than I've ever even seen, much less tasted, and it's a buffet, I never have to walk more than 10 minutes to get to class, and I don't even have to go to class at all, save for test days, and most of my time outside of class is spent on 4chan, because self-study is easy as hell.

Japanese.
Long story short, I've got no motivation for anything and my parents pushed me into doing something. I didn't bring up Japanese, but since they know I self study Japanese and it's the only thing I show SOME kind of motivation in, even if I'm lazy, they said I should go for it.

I told them there aren't job offerings for it, and they said that was nonsense because there are probably so little Japanese translators that they're in high demand.

After college I plan on leeching off them with the excuse that I can't find a job. Only it'll be the truth, because I won't find a job.

Just wish I didn't have to take all of these other stupid classes alongside Japanese. Fuck do I need Chemistry for in my major?

On that list the only thing the government pays for is the dorm and the buffet and it's not like they cook all that shit just for you.
