I kinda wanted to go for civil, but i think ill have more use for computer science

2018-07-16 04:16:48 UTC  

If you are good at it for sure

2018-07-16 04:17:06 UTC  

I tried it out but could not keep up myself.

2018-07-16 04:17:25 UTC  

Aww...What happened, hun?

2018-07-16 04:18:16 UTC  

Moved way to fast for me, not as good at learning math and technical skills as I was in primary school.

2018-07-16 04:18:29 UTC  

Currently majoring in civic leadership now.

2018-07-16 04:19:33 UTC  

I still admire computer science, my best friend recently graduated and is now a data analyst.

2018-07-16 04:20:13 UTC  

That's great!

2018-07-16 04:20:33 UTC  

Personally, i've never had difficulty in maths

2018-07-16 04:20:52 UTC  

Maybe cos it's the difference with the schools we attended

2018-07-16 04:21:13 UTC  

We were taught about differentiation in 7th grade

2018-07-16 04:21:36 UTC  

well that certainly helps, America education greatly falling behind.

2018-07-16 04:21:40 UTC  

And calculus was mostly covered by 10th grade

2018-07-16 04:21:59 UTC  

It also helps that i love maths myself

2018-07-16 04:22:13 UTC  

It's the most creative part of STEM

2018-07-16 04:22:17 UTC  

I used to, but now I just struggle with it.

2018-07-16 04:22:45 UTC  

i never had difficulties in math but i hated it

2018-07-16 04:22:52 UTC  

I'd say with that knowledge computer science should definitely be pursued.

2018-07-16 04:23:02 UTC  

Hey, American education isn't too bad

2018-07-16 04:23:10 UTC  

Atleast the students aren't killing themselves

2018-07-16 04:23:12 UTC  

it really is

2018-07-16 04:23:15 UTC  

Having any programming knowledge these days should be pursued

2018-07-16 04:23:46 UTC  

The education here is really bad. Completely based on rote learning, memorisation

2018-07-16 04:23:49 UTC  

Coming out and not qualifying for jobs and a path to prison and drugs doesn't help though

2018-07-16 04:24:00 UTC  

that can be difficult

2018-07-16 04:24:14 UTC  

Comp Sci is kinda different. You can get a good job if you don't have a degree

2018-07-16 04:24:24 UTC  

American education isn't bad, the problem is that it is not good.

2018-07-16 04:24:31 UTC  

many employees care more of what you've done vs. what your degree is

2018-07-16 04:24:47 UTC  

though not to knock having a comp. sci degree

2018-07-16 04:25:10 UTC  

Degree can certainly help more in the what you learn vs the accolade itself

2018-07-16 04:25:16 UTC  

@RedShipley what would you say i do to increase my chances of getting a job?

2018-07-16 04:25:34 UTC  

a good github profile

2018-07-16 04:25:57 UTC  

maybe a website that they can browse

2018-07-16 04:26:21 UTC  

Cool. I'll do that!

2018-07-16 04:26:54 UTC  

If you can do a lot currently, building a portfolio always helps.

2018-07-16 04:27:00 UTC  

If you have a bunch of projects on that, you'll be steps ahead of your fellow grads that don't

2018-07-16 04:28:50 UTC  

One of the more important things you learn with schooling is the algorithms really.

2018-07-16 04:29:58 UTC  

also this website: https://www.careercup.com/

2018-07-16 04:30:10 UTC  

has a lot of the questions that interviewers ask

2018-07-16 04:30:21 UTC  

sometimes even straight from it

2018-07-16 04:30:43 UTC  

people are often too busy to be creative
