Tfw really only interested in maths but don't want to be unemployed so I picked up EE.

God I'm so jealous of amerifags. My undergrad degree takes 5 and a half fuckings years. If if was american i would be doing my phd right know. At least I don't get in debt...

Intentionally lowballed my salary though and could be making 55 starting under better circumstances. I expected a raise after proving myself but it never happened.

if you were making a joke I didn't get it

>>10274177
Sales reporting at a software company. I'm at the associate level though.

>>10274406
OTH is a university in Germany. I am planning to study there in September this year for a MSc in Electrical and Micro engineering like you.

>>10273229
Yes but the degree is shit.

It's a shit job/field and I'm looking to get out.

>MS Physics
>About 2 months, worked as a research contractor in the mean time
>99k starting

1. 27
2. physical sciences - focus in aerospace engineering/remote sensing
3. 5 months
4. no. started $45k as i just wanted experience in a different field. I had only worked as an engineer in a field I didn't want to work prior (construction). Had an offer for the company I worked for to start $65k, but didn't want to pigeonhole myself into the industry. Make 55k now but hate the work.

Considering going back to construction doing survey work. The work was more technical than I do now. Grades were fairly shit in school, though would like to go back to grad school at some point.

>>10275577
How is it? I'm wondering if a Physics MS is worth it.

>undergrad (Math+Physics) + (CS)

>Started with 130k(USD), Made ~65k(Canadian) at my internship

>>10275545
I feel you anon, I started uni late because I had to do conscription after high school.

>>10275605
I did my MS research on experimental condensed matter, with a focus on radio frequency material characterization so it really helped me build a good marketable skill set. If you do an MS in theory or just course work I'd say it's probably not worth doing. You have to accept that you'll be looking for engineering positions, but I'd say it was worth doing.

>>10275624
i was a junkie and easily could be in jail or dead so i am grateful to still be here

fuck the haters

>>10275647
Good on you. What's your undergrad, and what will your PhD be in?

>>10275643
Thanks. I'm still a ways away from having to decide if I want to pursue an MS in the field. I guess if I do I'll have to get over my dislike of the experimental stuff.

>>10275653
Yea an MS in physics is a tricky thing, since at best it means you learned enough to get a "real" job, at worst it means you'll struggle to find a job because it's not worth paying more for an MS student when a BS student in EE/CE could do it instead. I'm lucky because my current boss got his degree in physics so he actually knows what skills will transfer over to the real world

First full-time job: Started looking for a job around 3 months before finishing my thesis, turned a couple offers down and started my job a month after graduation.
>earning
Significantly less, but that's because
a) I live in central Europe, where cost of living is relatively low compared to the US, and lots of benefits like health insurance are included.
b) I live in the region of my country where wages are lowest; I was willing to compromise on monies to be close to family and to work in a company with people I like on things I find interesting, in an area that's fun to ride motorcycles in and where cost of living is even lower than in the rest of the country.
My salary is still way above national average, and it's enough to live comfortably and have some not-quite-inexpensive hobbies while still saving up.

PhD will be in Entomology

what about u

>>10275643
why would a coursework masters not be worth it? I am gonna start my coursework masters in February btw lel

>>10269158
1. 21
2. BA Pure Math @UC Berkeley, junior year
3. It's super easy to tutor kids for like $40 an hour but other than that I've never had a proper day's work in my life
4. I'll need a PhD for the 300k starting won't I, what kind of grades do I need to get into a semi-good program? Is taking 2 grad classes senior year (likely analysis&topology, PDE's or Algebra) a bonus or merely expected of applicants?

Oh you, how I miss being this young and naive
The world seemed a much better place then.

>>10275763
fuck.
Are master's in math a meme, assuming they're funded via a TA position? I don't really wanna spend my life in academia so I wouldn't mind it being a terminal degree, I just think taking graduate classes for a couple more years would be cool. My math professor told me his PhD was just like his undergrad (classes and homework, just harder) for the first few years.

On the other hand, I have this feeling that I might regret not going for a PhD in math when so many others do it no problem.

>>10275337
oh sorry!

Nah I did EE in France and micro in Switzerland

>>10275696
>PhD will be in Entomology
That's neat. I had an ant farm as a kid and I plan to become a hobbyist beekeeper once I settle down in an actual house.

I'm doing a combined major in chemistry and biology, hoping to either get a job in biotech or do a Msc in biotech.

Math is essentially a PhD degree, anything below is a waste of time and money.
If you have the opportunity to go for an engineering minor or maybe a major the math part will weigh in for you, I'd say something math heavy like aerodynamics or civil engineering will be good, maybe logistics, especially if you can use your math skills in simulations and FEM/FV. Don't give up, you just need something useful along with your math degree.

>>10275517
Not really. There's Americans that come here on exchange wishing they could have been born here
