what degree do you have in your country? was it worth it?

>>211903564 (OP)
Literature high school diploma
no, useless shit

>>211903564 (OP)
Technical school degree in applied geodesy
Yeah, I guess, it's good money

>>211903564 (OP)
I don't have one.
Didn't even go to high school.

>>211903564 (OP)
Engineering, no. I skipped my graduation ceremony because I had no friends and my family didn't care.

>>211903564 (OP)
Aerospace engineering and other one I'm embarrassed to speak about
I mean it made it easier for me to become a codemonkey and i guess i got some skills to do basic menial blue collar shit, like working with 3d, blueprints, etc

>>211903852
>Aerospace engineering
...Its a meme degree?

>>211903916
Yes pretty much, entirely depends on your branch
I have a meme one

>high school diploma
when your english (probably) is, better than people with a master's degree in english, or even a master's degree it really shows what's wrong with this country

>>211904109
I meant a bachelor's degree at first but you get it

>>211903564 (OP)
I have PhD in biotech. I should've dropped with my friend when he figured out that it's a scam and told me so. Or join his fraud business later when he invited me multiple times.

>>211903564 (OP)
none.
hell yes.

>>211903961
Nope. 100% Swede.
School is only mandatory until 9th grade here and I hated it so I just quit.

>>211903564 (OP)
history degree into unemployment

>>211903564 (OP)
No, I didn't even finish high school like that other anon. I hated school and I've always had trouble concentrating on things I don't find interesting. Just not cut out for the normie world.

>>211903564 (OP)
I have a degree in genetic counseling.
Meh. Hospitals are hiring, but the healthcare working environment is way too stressful.

>>211904776
How did your parents react?
People are always surprised when they find out my parents didn't even argue.
Last day of 9th grade, didn't even wait for my final grades (didn't have any anyway) and I left before the final class photo. Went home, told mom and dad "never going to school again" and they just accepted it. They already knew me well by then.

it was worth it

>worth it?
eh, i found it deeply interesting, but i don't want to slave away in a stressful engineering job fighting traffic every single day for money i don't really need

>>211904109
All you need is to spend time on the internet.

>>211904899
I spent two years barely holding it together after 9th grade, failing most classs, then somewhere along the end of the second year I dropped out because I felt stressed and depressed and we've just never talked about it ever since.

Tried going back to school a year later but noticed I got put in there with other fuckups and I just felt so defeated I told them I'm not coming back the next day.

pay is good work is soul draining

Computer science. I didn't fall for the meme I genuinely chose this field because nothing else interested me. At first I wanted to do graphic design but realized it wasn't for me so I quit. I graduated a year ago snd aside from one internship I finished 6 months ago I can't find a single junior position job. And I don't even want to be a lazy codemonkey forever, my goal is DevOps but I gotta start from some position like codemonkey but no one wants to hire me. I don't know what to do at this point

>>211905452
same, got my masters. can't even get an interview, not even as a SOCmonkey. my dad works in tech for a (((major financial institution))) and I've went to a couple of his work events, 95% of his coworkers aren't even european but he's got that typical gen-X peace & love on planet earth nothing is wrong mentality

Master's degree in pure mathematics.
Maybe. Wanted to be a mathematician, realized math wasn't for me. Got hired as a programmer and I make good money. Sounds good, but my regret is that I have played catch-up with the talented programmers and if I had just always focused on programming I'd have been much better at it. Most programmers are, of course, average. The best ones have been peogramming since they were children, I started at like 23.

>>211903564 (OP)
I have a mostly useless but very interesting undergrad degree, and an MBA. The MBA was “worth it” in that people with MBAs love to hire other people with MBAs, so it opened doors to multiple opportunities to wear a suit and hang out with assholes. It wasn’t worth it because the path I ended up on was poisonous to my fucking soul—I spent a year or two just surprised to be making money, and then another seven years hating everything about my job and everyone involved in it. My last company finally went through a really ugly restructuring, during which I volunteered to be laid off.

Since then I’ve been retraining to do something completely different that I hope won’t make me want to kill myself.

Bachelor's in computer science

Eh, I have a well-paying lazy job
Should have gotten a master's degree though since many jobs require it in Sweden. For STEM degrees here most programs are designed to have both the BSc + MSc under the same "curriculum"

M.Sc (Civilingenjör) in structural engineering
No

yes

I just got into "just learn to code bro" early and now I make the same money as my coworkers who have engineering degrees.
Until this shit last before we going to be replaced with AI it's still good money.
At least If it happen I will not be butthurt since I did not invest years of study for a degree.

>>211907011
I'm honestly considering going back to uni to get an actual engineering degree (already got one in compsci, but you can guess how thats going) but the thought of more debt is horrific

>>211903564 (OP)
Maritime engineering.
Yes.

>>211903564 (OP)
>what degree do you have in your country?
BS in chemistry
>was it worth it?
the only everyday application is knowing about acids & bases and solutions, which means cooking and cleaning. the next step is to commit and become a boymaid

>>211907106
>engineering degree
become a doctor, retard, you make a shitton of money and fuck nurses at night shifts

>>211904438
What do you do now?

>>211905452
what is bro waffling about
devops dont start from codemonkeys, they start from sys admins

>>211904564
Same. Not that it would have mattered if I got a more profitable degree, my autism makes me pretty much unemployable

>>211908655
PermaNEET for life.
Got sick pension.

>>211909174
Are you racist?

Engineering degree
Yes, worth it
Cushy well paid office job

Uni graduation is one massive humiliation ritual

>>211905565
daddy made a little chuddie for a son didnt he

>>211909245
Of course.

>>211907106
do it.
im going back to uni to study engineering physics. realized that when i was a kid and wanted to be an engineer, it wasnt being a code monkey. i actually want to make stuff.

>>211903564 (OP)
It feels like the whole threads is either 'did not study' or 'codemonkey engineer in science bullshit'. No one studied medicine, law, a foreign language, classic literature, sociology...?

>>211903779
Why did you abandon your tripcode?

>>211909851
>sociology

>>211909884
Also I have a shitty bachelor's in English, media and cultural studies. Utterly worthless, my current job (lazy civil servant) doesn't even require a degree. I suppose it sounded interesting to me when I was 17

>the only everyday application is knowing about acids & bases and solutions, which means cooking and cleaning
that doesn't follow at all
only in your sick twisted mind is this the only path forward for you

why not help me start a company

>>211909174
based as fuck

>>211909851
this is what every "what's your job/major/degree (in your country)" thread looks like, not sure why but once you've read one you've read them all

Law
I don't know, I don't really use my degree at all in my job (civil servant) but I probably wouldn't have got it without it

>>211903564 (OP)
High school. I just didn't see a point, I've lacked ambition since a very young age and as I've grown older I've realised that all that a better degree gets me is a higher percentage of taxation and perhaps a better result on the sexual market, but even then I'd have to settle for used goods.

I just simply don't give enough of a shit, so I just work a dead end job that pays just enough to ensure I don't starve.

>>211909851
should tell you something about people that learn to code

>>211909851
you can study a foreign language, classic literature, sociology (lol) without having to go to university.

Liberation Studies. It encompassed various fields of study that focused on the liberation of marginalized groups and the dismantling of oppressive systems. We drew from liberation theology, liberation psychology, and other disciplines to address social justice issues and promote equity.

Late stage capitalism means nobody wants to hire me

>>211903564 (OP)
None, I went to the army.

>>211909851
apart from medicine, most of those other degrees are mostly for the privileged who go to uni 'because they should' but will likely end up working for their parents or cruising on existing wealth

linguistics
no

>>211911701
No.

>>211911490
every degree is like that
