Yeah for sure, lots of things fall into that

I think it varies quite a bit

Maybe I'll be able to get an internship after college

I don't know how it works

If you're doing CS, depending on what you want to do after college I highly suggest you start developing an app or piece of software to point to

honestly, all I want is to be self sufficient from my parents

and have a job that isn't too stressful

@Lawrence - TX yes, this is perhaps a much better approach for those in computer science

Definitely. How do you get there? You're likely going to have a stressful job especially right out of college

I mean... fast food wasn't stressful lol

but I need more than that

@mella I think the point is, is that generally it cannot hurt you. For the most part, it can only help.

I've never not hired, or heard of someone being turned down for a job for having an internship

A lot of companies use internships to see if they want you as an employee long term

Did you have an internship? Frankly I never did one after college.

@TMatthews absolutely

Saw multiple people get hired after successful internships

Are post-college jobs really that stressful?

im not disagreeing with you, @Lawrence - TX. i only believe a more individualized path will differentiate between two applicants.

Well it depends @Jacob

CS? probably

I'm gonna need some time to de-stress after this

i held an internship position within the gene therapy field at an ivy league institution. if anything, short story here, it confused people as to what i was aiming for

therefore, my argument is decide on something that will set you apart, @Jacob

Thanks, I appreciate that

>be me
>getting a degree in social sciences
>professor emails asking if I'm interested in grad school opportunities
>thinks to self "hell no I couldn't keep my mouth shut about the marxist corruption of anthropology"
>emails professor back "no, not right after college, I want to work first"

staying in college long enough to get a master's degree in *any* subject takes some serious dedication

I'm only 23 and in high school I remember being taught about the concepts of braindrain and cultural diffusion when two cultures interact with one another for an extended period of time, But I doubt that's taught in high schools anymore, it would probably be considered racist and xenophobic.

I just want to make America Great.

I would get a masters in some sort of applied geography/remote sensing, but definitely not Anthro. The field is rife with people who consider the entire basis of anthropology to be institutionalized racism. Basically any mention of a biological connection to race will get you ostracized from the academic community

I just wanna have a Trump Steak on my plate.

nasty well done steak

@Drover Tom I have to take anthropology 102 right now and it's a joke.

It's literally "there's only one race the human race" for an hour and a half. It's utter nonsense

It's so telling how they try to program people like that. It's so against nature that They have to start this type of programming in grade school

My professor made us read an article about how race doesn't exist so I refuted it and got 100%

Dude as an experiment I started writing the most globohomo content in my English class and the teacher likes me more now haha

@Jacob really? That's surprising.

It's such a blatant display of indoctrination
