I regret doing my master's already. I should have just invested in an internship in industry to secure a decent job or build a business. Academia life is unsustainable, it's a supplicant's work, slavery. If you value money, social life and health, I would suggest to not venture into this academia at all. You would better of flip burger than "researching".

I posted this on /scg/ but I wanted to ask here as well if that's okay. Reddit spacing so that it is easier to read, don't bully me.

>College offers a bunch of opportunities
>Limits them to ONLY underrepresented minorities in the STEM field like hispanics/blacks/native americans
Is there a way to actually get them without having to race change?

Is the standard procedure to getting research opportunities or internships in general, to build up a relationship with your professor until they go "You know anon, it's been a while since we started talking, I have an opportunity and I'm not sure if you're interested........"

It seems like that'll take a long time but at this point, I wouldn't even mind because I have some wonderful professors but it feels a bit disingenuous (or even a bit... messed up) to build a relationship with someone just because they're a door of opportunity or is that just how STEM works in general? I'm an EE major btw.

I know that if you genuinely want to learn from them and build up a relationship, then it would no longer be disingenuous, but I know that not every professor I come across would be as wonderful/cool as some of the ones that I'm taking currently which would make it far less interesting for me to want to go out of my way to learn more/go ahead.

Good materials for being able to do IMO level number theory problems? Able to do my countries olympiad problems but I'm struggling with IMO level.

Not him but you don't seem to understand how dysfunctional people with low IQ are. That person can't keep up his looks because he isn't smart enough to wash his hair.

Appearance and IQ go hand in hand so stop drafting strawmen to bash
