The only reason I chose to go into STEM was so I can at least have autonomy over my work, but now I just want to die because I am going to be poor.

It's only week 2 bro, I've only just learned my Hiraganas and a handful of sentences + a few of them kanjis (but not the Japanese words for them) only because I took Mandarin in high school.

Only IT related things seem fun in STEM. The rest just seems like you will suffer later on when you need to apply for a job and find out most of your skills aren't that useful.

I mean just write it anyways.
Are you afraid you're going to bump into some other motherfucking nip speaker and they're going to test you?

I told you to kill yourself crybaby.
Seriously bro Japanese is a complete waste of time unless you're planning to study or work in Japan, just learn Business Mandarin and get to a decent level in that, China is much less saturated than Japan and it's easier to work there.

why do you always pick on biochem majors what did they ever do to anyone? Its never any other type of middle tier stemcel always biochem specifically without cause or explanation for such animosity

You thought biochemistry was int magic?
It’s more of a combo because physics math and science computers is more like int, biochemistry and medicine and stuff is more like FAI

Bio sucks right now. Either you throw away 5 of the best years of your life to be a PhD slave, or you accept being a lab bitch forever. Here's my trajectory:

>Studied chemical engineering for biology
>Didn't want to work in a giant factory because spoiler alert it actually sucks
>End up working as a research associate making 65k (but this was in the Bay Area so that's basically a poverty wage)
>For what it's worth I got to do a lot of really cool stuff, was given a huge amount of freedom and basically did scientist tier work, only I didn't get paid nearly that much and scraping by paycheck to paycheck really sucks
>Spent 1.5 years studying machine learning and data science in my free time
>Now I'm a ML engineer making 150k
