/sci/ - Science & Math

I'm 26. I've had my engineering degree for two years now. I've applied for countless jobs and only got one interview (which I bricked).

I shit you not the normie advice from my former classmates was as follows

>just listen to what they have to say and act like you're humble and wiling to learn
>just be chill bro its all about vibes (lol what? I can't believe this came out of a fucking STEM major's mouth)

In reality

>very few questions were asked by the company interviewers
>I was the one asking the questions (them giving me rope to hang myself)
>the president got up and left halfway before the interview was done (this is when I knew I wasn't getting the job)
>I can only imagine that the remaining 30 minutes of the interview was just a way of letting me down slowly so I don't walk out of the building crying or to prevent the more mentally unstable applicants from coming back to the office the next day with a gun (US anon here)

Man I wish I had more guidance as an undergrad. The advisors at my uni were fucking trash and both my parents are business major boomers who are just like "its about attitude and respect anon".

Honestly I'm considering going into debt to get my masters so I can have project experience but no formal IRL job experience in the field does look super bad for someone my age. Maybe I could take some accredited courses but without actually fully committing to a masters degree? Should I start a small tutoring business to demonstrate that I have agency and will? Should I learn Spanish (Texas anon here)?

I'm humble to admit that I fucked up. suicide is not an option tho because that wouldn't be fair to my mother.

Scientifically speaking how i can made it in life? i feel like a complete retard :(

i just want to make a lot of money, save & invest and have some fun, but in my country you need to be at least a engineer to make have a nice life also our currency is devalued so i need to earn in dollars, with 1500USD you are rich here.

what can i do my fellow above average kings?

Thanks for all the replies.

>bad grades
>no social life
>no sleep

Any papers, or blog posts on why scaled-up language models CAN'T be the AGI?

I'm only 2 weeks into a phd and let me tell you this is a million times worse than undergrad. My schedule today:
>10-11am class
>11am - 11pm bullshit I have to deal with in rotation lab
>still have to come in tomorrow (saturday)
>still have homework due on monday and papers to read
>was able to eat some crackers and a snickers bar from the vending machine
>had to walk past partying frat houses on the way back to the car
>had to keep myself from ramming into as many party thots as I could

I will come in tomorrow, hopefully finish up in an hour or two, dedicate the rest of the day to binge drinking alone, and return to the grind on Sunday.

Yes, this is it.
I wish schizos had state mandated caretakers or some shit so they wouldn't be allowed to ruin online spaces.

Anons, is there an optimistic future for jobs in EE? I am going into EE undergraduate this year because I've wanted to work with robots.
But, unfortunately, AI and automation seems to be making giant strides. I'm afraid that by the time I graduate, all the jobs will be taken over and automated. This demotivates me and makes me not bother studying.

Is it important to make friends in medical school

I have 100 IQ.

>"since induction didn't work i'm just gonna go have a look at the answer"

God, I wish I was a geologist

is there any way to stop being sad without taking meds? please, this is a genuine cry for help

I've been feeling really ill mentally and physically for the past few months but these weeks have been especially hard for me
i just don't have enough energy to do anything, doing things that i like are chores, socializing is hard (even my friends told me that i'm too moody as of late) and i'm flooded with homework

I've been trying to hide this from my parents but i don't know for how long

i'm certainly not depressed but i'm just really down in the dumps
i'm posting this here since i think that psychology is a med topic

please, i'm serious

Anons, I watched the first season of The Expanse today, in large part due to all of talk about it here, and I have mixed feelings about it. I certainly liked hard scifi elements and plot, it was OK. But whats up with all of the queers and mystery meat in outer space? It's was hard for me to enjoy the show, because of how explicit it was with all of the progressivism.

Why can't we just have good scifi anymore?

>888th in the world but 1st in my country
i can't afford to go to a more prestigious uni :(

>mfw people blame the jews
>mfw people don't realize that the ppl causing all these problems have no identity/religion
>mfw people don't realize that the ppl causing all these problems view themselves as God
it might even be the case that these people are disproportionately one race/religion but the problems are still caused by (((them)))

>6000 word essay
>thought it was due tomorrow
>eh, i'll stay up all night and do it, no biggie
>it's due tonight
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

haha yeah

Fuck you for posting this meme. It's too fucking close to home

I'm working as fast as I can. Unfortunately, science costs money, and no one with half a brain would throw money at an independent researcher, especially not for something like this.

Last week I started and completed an entire application to an Ivy League school in 2 days on zero sleep and that I literally submitted at the LAST possible minute.

Just read back some of shit I said for the essays today and wow. I soundED like a bigger fucking schizo than Tooker. Like the shit I said was genuinely retarded. My application isn’t even going to get a second look. Why the fuck did I do it anons??????? Why did I pay money to send it??

AGGGHHHHHHHHHH

>its another IQ thread

the problem isn't that it's bad the problem is that we have 10 iq threads up already, maybe start a thread on a new topic, maybe come up with some original for a change?
