<:thenk:329322130804047872>

2018-09-04 01:11:00 UTC

now I want to switch

2018-09-04 01:11:14 UTC

not sure if electrical engineering, mechanical, or IT, but it's looking IT

2018-09-04 01:11:22 UTC

You're a great guy

2018-09-04 01:12:17 UTC

Have you thought about CE ?

2018-09-04 01:15:09 UTC

yes and the thought makes me scared

2018-09-04 01:15:21 UTC

jokes aside there aren't many opportunities over here afaik...

2018-09-04 01:15:29 UTC

And thanks, what makes you think so? ๐Ÿ˜„

2018-09-04 01:16:17 UTC

You always have that funny U turn in your story

2018-09-04 01:16:34 UTC

Like talking about study and then admitting you don't study to begin with

2018-09-04 01:18:10 UTC

I mean

2018-09-04 01:18:17 UTC

I just stopped to prepare to change schools :T

2018-09-04 01:18:21 UTC

But while I'm very happy with CE, there's like 2 good companies for what I'm doing in my whole country, so I already had to make up my mind that I eventually gonna move if i go full career mode

2018-09-04 01:18:38 UTC

Doesn't mean I don't attend stuff like preparatory courses etc

2018-09-04 01:18:52 UTC

So whenever I do make notes, that's what I do ๐Ÿ˜„

2018-09-04 01:18:55 UTC

What country is that?

2018-09-04 01:19:12 UTC

Germany

2018-09-04 01:22:07 UTC

ohhh

2018-09-04 01:22:15 UTC

Truth to be told I haven't found a CE program to begin with

2018-09-04 01:22:25 UTC

at most it's a masters to CompSci

2018-09-04 01:22:49 UTC

Oh right

2018-09-04 01:22:54 UTC

I like hacking electronics, but idk. Not sure if there is enough market for it since shenzen makes everything

2018-09-04 01:23:20 UTC

At least it would be a good thing to expand my IT repertoire

2018-09-04 01:23:41 UTC

btw, is the market better to mechanical, electrical engineers or IT?

2018-09-04 01:23:51 UTC

Yeah CE is also a master thing here. You either start with EE/IT in bachelor and choose it as specialsation, then you can choose the full master program in CE after

2018-09-04 01:23:58 UTC

Sorry i forgot about that

2018-09-04 01:24:18 UTC

and by IT I mean CompSci since IT isn't a real degree lul

2018-09-04 01:24:51 UTC

Yeah, we have a fancy name for that too, but everyone knows what's meant

2018-09-04 01:25:04 UTC

Dunno really

>fucked up entrace exams so hard I had to study pedagogy

@xxxxx what country are you from?

2018-09-04 01:26:07 UTC

Czechia

2018-09-04 01:27:08 UTC

I can tell you if you know IT and EE and how they interact(and pander a bit to the embedded meme), you get your 6figures straight outta school

2018-09-04 01:27:18 UTC

Sorta

>6 figures straight out of school

2018-09-04 01:27:36 UTC

I dunno how that applies to eastern countries though

2018-09-04 01:27:43 UTC

The school I am eyeing has no EE in the curriculum, but I worked with Pycom modules?

2018-09-04 01:27:43 UTC

>uni

is this the new BSc (Math) 300k starting?

2018-09-04 01:28:10 UTC

>Implying anything less than a Master

tfw graduating straight with an MD

2018-09-04 01:29:00 UTC

Come on the doctors programs for medicine are a joke

2018-09-04 01:29:10 UTC

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/189467888657235970/486346954880581632/hqdefault.jpg

2018-09-04 01:29:15 UTC

I wish I would have become a doctor

2018-09-04 01:29:32 UTC

If he's persistent, he'll be rewarded.

the workload is really testing my resolve though

2018-09-04 01:29:53 UTC

EE is fun

but I have a passion for medicine so it's ok

2018-09-04 01:30:09 UTC

do you have to take the MCATS?

2018-09-04 01:30:55 UTC

I don't care about fun, I just want to be loved <:pepestressed:327933525124841482>

2018-09-04 01:31:03 UTC

JK, what will pay me the most and is in most demand?

2018-09-04 01:31:17 UTC

coding websites

working on ancient languages

2018-09-04 01:31:37 UTC

rly

2018-09-04 01:31:41 UTC

OH

2018-09-04 01:31:55 UTC

why do people desperately want to keep old software alive

2018-09-04 01:32:11 UTC

so in other words, you're saying IT disciplines, generally?

no, I just assumed you like IT

2018-09-04 01:32:25 UTC

`why do people desperately want to keep old software alive`
Zoomers gtfo

I wanna get into pharma drug manufacturing one day

2018-09-04 01:32:46 UTC

at my place itโ€™s cause the same team/dude has worked their for 20-40 years using that language

2018-09-04 01:33:02 UTC

fucking boomers

2018-09-04 01:33:06 UTC

so youโ€™re being hired to replace this old bro

2018-09-04 01:33:17 UTC

I'm trying to decide between IT, ME and EE @Mirurin (็œŸ็š„่ฏไบบๆ™‚ๅˆป)

2018-09-04 01:33:48 UTC

Also which kind of EE you doing @Joldberg

2018-09-04 01:33:55 UTC

Power or electronics?

2018-09-04 01:34:18 UTC

i concentrated in RF-Design but no jobs in rf over here

2018-09-04 01:34:37 UTC

so the next studying would be optics

2018-09-04 01:34:45 UTC

but again, not jobs

2018-09-04 01:35:01 UTC

damn

2018-09-04 01:35:11 UTC

all companies want replacements

tfw don't even know what I'll specialize in after my graduation

2018-09-04 01:35:16 UTC

Where's here?
Also does that mean you will go to college again?

2018-09-04 01:35:29 UTC

Also is IT or ME in more demand than that?

2018-09-04 01:35:32 UTC

they want โ€œsubject matter expertsโ€

my hands are way too spaghetti for surgery

also, it's a long way to go, I'm just a first year

2018-09-04 01:36:14 UTC

just train it

2018-09-04 01:36:17 UTC

o

2018-09-04 01:36:33 UTC

honestly if you want pharma chemists usually do that no,

2018-09-04 01:36:37 UTC

brb shower

2018-09-04 01:36:38 UTC

sorry

2018-09-04 01:36:45 UTC

just noticed the clock

could still change to pharma if I wanted to

2018-09-04 01:38:06 UTC

For the zoomers:
You got a machine, ancient code, but machine works fine.
Now machine has a probem, but it isn't produced anymore.
So would you rather buy a new machine, maybe even gotta replace the extending machines, maybe even the whole complex, or hire some dipshit to fix your ancient code so machine works as always?

probably explains why companies haven't started adopting EYPC en-masse tbh

2018-09-04 01:39:31 UTC

adopting != replacing your server farm

I heard you can easily migrate from older to newer xeons with minimal downtime

2018-09-04 01:39:43 UTC

EPYC is actually very succesfull right now

2018-09-04 01:40:57 UTC

And as server continue to grow in demand(speed) and older sockets becoming useless, EPYC will be even more succesfull

2018-09-04 01:41:15 UTC

It's just not a vibrant market as any consumer plattform

2018-09-04 01:47:25 UTC

@xxxxx iโ€™m east coast in the usa. i donโ€™t see myself going back to college unless it was for a phd, most phd programs get enough funding to pay the students loans and get like a $500/month stipend. Iโ€™m working on my digital(embedded) for about 2 more months and have 2 killa projects then work up on my analog knowledge. looking to apply to startups in about 2-3 months/or asking some old-fags to be their apprentice like bunnie huang or forest mins

2018-09-04 01:50:07 UTC

What degree do you hold currently?

2018-09-04 01:50:23 UTC

electrical and computer engineering

2018-09-04 01:50:50 UTC

Master/bachelor...

2018-09-04 01:50:57 UTC

bache

2018-09-04 01:51:02 UTC

Ah

2018-09-04 01:51:18 UTC

Are start ups less of a meme over there?

2018-09-04 01:51:30 UTC

its all a meme

2018-09-04 01:52:52 UTC

Fiat currency is a meme

back

2018-09-04 01:54:48 UTC

welcome

2018-09-04 01:55:09 UTC

as for what is in demand, fullstack web-developer

2018-09-04 01:55:45 UTC

you can learn how to do it in 3-6 months and take a position in any major city

2018-09-04 01:56:31 UTC

Urgh

2018-09-04 01:56:41 UTC

or work towards remote positions or starting ur own app or managing like 2-3 small bizโ€™s website

2018-09-04 01:57:06 UTC

There's the part in me that wants to agree, then again web dev is a big bubble and most are already aware of it

2018-09-04 01:57:11 UTC

type in nyc engineering into any job search engine.

2018-09-04 01:58:10 UTC

ah got it. So it's the IT jobs nobody wants ๐Ÿ˜„

2018-09-04 01:58:21 UTC

IT has its levels

2018-09-04 01:58:24 UTC

so EE is generally saturated, would you say?

2018-09-04 01:58:34 UTC

its like both

2018-09-04 01:58:51 UTC

most EEโ€™s go the route of consulting or systems engineering

2018-09-04 01:59:19 UTC

which is like using autocad to draw lines in space or some 3d software to draw the electrical lines from this box to that box

2018-09-04 02:00:00 UTC

hat part is saturated cause ur using day 1 bread and butter ee ohms law: V=IR

2018-09-04 02:00:35 UTC

anything beyond they want a shit load of experience or a supreme hunger to learn

2018-09-04 02:01:25 UTC

>most EE

2018-09-04 02:01:47 UTC

but youโ€™ll have an easy life

2018-09-04 02:01:48 UTC

I see...

2018-09-04 02:01:58 UTC

It does sound even more boring than IT though

2018-09-04 02:02:03 UTC

Oh really? I'd have said that most EEs are into full system design here

2018-09-04 02:02:23 UTC

theres a difference in definition of systems

2018-09-04 02:02:23 UTC

I guess that's a bit major dependant tho

2018-09-04 02:02:25 UTC

So does IT or ME have better job opportunities than that?

2018-09-04 02:03:13 UTC

I know, but we use "Automat" for that which translates garbo into english

2018-09-04 02:03:36 UTC

systems can either be ur a sub team in a larger project. or your using the r&dโ€™s products and ur creating documents for the technicians to assemble

2018-09-04 02:04:03 UTC

i mean thatโ€™s the low majority of EE

2018-09-04 02:04:33 UTC

the high points would be working on a satelite or u underwater robotics

2018-09-04 02:05:22 UTC

where u needs Digital/analog Signal processing, experience with power electronics. embedded and have printed 2-3 circuits from china

2018-09-04 02:05:57 UTC

and those dont have much competiton cause the people dont know

2018-09-04 02:06:05 UTC

but u need to know ur shit

2018-09-04 02:08:03 UTC

as for IT the levels are massive, you could be setting up mainframes and fixing printers/ for 20hrs and get payed for 40hrs. or you could be doin flashing OSโ€™s onto laptops and fixing the salesmanโ€™s phone

2018-09-04 02:08:26 UTC

that's technical level jobs though

2018-09-04 02:08:39 UTC

its like 2 weeks of training

2018-09-04 02:08:41 UTC

*technician

2018-09-04 02:08:47 UTC

yeah I want to get a degree

2018-09-04 02:10:50 UTC

the main benefits of a degree are being around like minded semi-driven people. and the professors

2018-09-04 02:11:20 UTC

otherwise get some books off abebooks and /diy/ bbz

2018-09-04 02:12:52 UTC

Does that apply to everything or just compsci? @Joldberg

2018-09-04 02:12:59 UTC

Here itยจs about getting that job :T

2018-09-04 02:13:13 UTC

I'm saving this fro some future copy pasta

2018-09-04 02:13:19 UTC

imo everything

2018-09-04 02:13:24 UTC

bro its the tru tru

2018-09-04 02:14:04 UTC

Start to do diy in general

2018-09-04 02:14:09 UTC

It saves you money

2018-09-04 02:14:26 UTC

Regardless of your major

2018-09-04 02:14:27 UTC

DIY is good for you

2018-09-04 02:16:19 UTC

I love DIY too.

2018-09-04 02:16:34 UTC

I hate having to specialise without even delving into different fields first.

2018-09-04 02:17:46 UTC

gotta make a plan for yourself

2018-09-04 02:17:59 UTC

what do you want to accomplish in this short amount of time

2018-09-04 02:18:27 UTC

Tbh don't limit yourself

2018-09-04 02:19:27 UTC

I did an aprenticeship first and got looked down upon for that, but it helped to know where i wanted to get tremendously.

2018-09-04 02:19:41 UTC

So take your time, maybe even switch your major

2018-09-04 02:19:50 UTC

who looked down upon that

2018-09-04 02:19:58 UTC

thats like the coolest thing

2018-09-04 02:20:07 UTC

At the end, you're going to do your job for the rest of your life, so take your time deciding

2018-09-04 02:20:54 UTC

It's the norm here to either go to uni directly or take an aprenticeship. Doing both is mostly regarded as a waste of time.

2018-09-04 02:23:01 UTC

Which comes from a media hype around the millenium. Before you could get apprenticeships credits at unis, but they locked down on that and media created the fuzz "More time wasted, if you're smart go to uni directly" and it stuck with most people.

2018-09-04 02:24:13 UTC

thats rediculous

2018-09-04 02:25:33 UTC

I never claimed it's sane, but if my parents didn't encouraged me to not give a shit, i would have gone to uni too with the attitude "everyone does it"

2018-09-04 02:26:35 UTC

yeah, thats definitely prevalent in the us

2018-09-04 02:27:00 UTC

but itโ€™s more like uni is considered pleasure island

2018-09-04 02:27:04 UTC

The larger picture is even more ridicolous, 20years ago politics pushed everyone to get to uni and get higher education, now we're taking african dipshits to take the mcdonals positions

2018-09-04 02:28:24 UTC

Tbh I kinda agree on that one, esspeccialy the current american system

2018-09-04 02:28:58 UTC

Your curriculum is so "free" it became a joke

2018-09-04 02:29:11 UTC

common core bbz

2018-09-04 02:29:55 UTC

are the afrikants rly that bad?

2018-09-04 02:30:42 UTC

i remember there being a lot of migrational movement, but didnโ€™t realize it was having massive impact

2018-09-04 02:31:16 UTC

Why are all the torrents on /t/ so fucking BAD

2018-09-04 02:32:03 UTC

Because no one torrents anymore

2018-09-04 02:32:15 UTC

That's not even close to being true

2018-09-04 02:33:11 UTC

Nogs are an eh thing, we basically put them all together in the turk ghettos and are now wandering that those city parts have become even more violent and lawless

2018-09-04 02:34:06 UTC

Of course most people live in cities now and are pissed about it, but the suburbs how you would call it and the rural places are mostly as they always were

2018-09-04 02:35:17 UTC
2018-09-04 02:35:59 UTC

whoa, seriously?

2018-09-04 02:36:34 UTC

I mean, PRIVATE torrent trackers are definitely going the way of the dodo, but I don't think there's actually anything anyone can do to stop torrenting as a whole

2018-09-04 02:37:39 UTC

Yes, but it's moving from warez for everyone to niche

2018-09-04 02:37:43 UTC

what are some essential chink shit items that *CAN* be useful

2018-09-04 02:37:53 UTC

Movies, music .. we got netflix and spotify for that

2018-09-04 02:38:00 UTC

Back from the dead because I was working overtime

2018-09-04 02:38:06 UTC

@Cringe Worthy Phone chargers/cables, knives, zipties

2018-09-04 02:38:08 UTC

time and a half and a half

2018-09-04 02:38:24 UTC

the simpler the item the less chance there is that it'll be a piece of shit that wastes your money

2018-09-04 02:38:28 UTC

hell yeah, make that money

2018-09-04 02:38:30 UTC

ehh I guess I could add more zipties to my collection

2018-09-04 02:38:55 UTC

how about the dso138 oscilliscope

2018-09-04 02:38:57 UTC

I just had to use 2 baggies full of chink zip ties to secure a fence height extension, because my neighbors are scared of my German Shepherd Puppie

2018-09-04 02:39:25 UTC

Those probably aren't uv rated

2018-09-04 02:39:34 UTC

๐Ÿ˜ฉ ๐Ÿ‘Œ

2018-09-04 02:40:55 UTC

I think I should just go ahead and go into IT

2018-09-04 02:41:13 UTC

it seems, idk, the one with most demand and opportunities? From the glimpse I can get right now

2018-09-04 02:41:22 UTC

@Cringe Worthy they can be, depending on what you get

2018-09-04 02:41:26 UTC

Check the sticky

2018-09-04 02:42:19 UTC

@johnfrum and you're probably right, but I'm willing to bet that they'll last at least 2 years.

2018-09-04 02:44:29 UTC

fuck five am

2018-09-04 02:44:32 UTC

how did this happen

2018-09-04 02:44:33 UTC

@xxxxx youโ€™ll work till ur 70. 70-21:49
49yr*(40hr/wk * 52 weeks/yr) = ~100,000 working hrs.

2018-09-04 02:44:49 UTC

@Joldberg don't remind me, I couldn't decide since high school ._.

2018-09-04 02:44:56 UTC

no one does

2018-09-04 02:45:08 UTC

can only swap major after it

2018-09-04 02:45:28 UTC

I like all three as much. Well, I think. So I just want to know what nets the best opportunities

2018-09-04 02:45:44 UTC

that depends on ur goals

2018-09-04 02:46:04 UTC

Well... I kinda want to live outside a big city, maybe somewhere up north.... as far for goals I guess

2018-09-04 02:47:05 UTC

real brainlet hours

2018-09-04 02:47:10 UTC

lol

2018-09-04 02:47:14 UTC

duuuuh, I want to live in a house...

2018-09-04 02:47:16 UTC

ye basically
