Comp Sci has a lot of beautiful ideas but has the side effect of imparting practical skills in software dev. unfortunately that leads people to think CS is just dev and not the beautiful theoretical field. -shrug- at least we get paid --- "Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience." <cite>IllegalAlien posted [p:956870808] in How are ec...

IllegalAlien 08/07/21 5:18:37 PM #16:	TC you're always posting about this shit so imma give you some real world advice. No degree will open up a career for you (well except maybe a small handful). you're still living in the lie that college is the single most important metric about an individual's career, it's not. You need to decide WHAT you want to do, then get the skills (and indeed perhaps a degree or credential) to make it in that field... iirc you have a Phil degree from U Toronto. that's really great, many people in your same shoes have made it very far in life. it's not the only thing that was great about them though. --- "Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience." <cite>IllegalAlien posted [p:956871688] in How are ec...

limp-bizkit-89 08/07/21 5:40:51 PM #21:	some degrees have a job as their end goal: for example with accounting you become an accountant, with law you become a lawyer, with medicine you become a doctor, with psychology you become a psychologist (at least in theory, no one in the US gets jobs with it, I guess mental health doesnt matter here, but in Europe and Latin America people do indeed go to the psychologist). most degrees are the opposite, you study them to say you have a degree but they dont have a job associated to them - you dont become a spanisher (not a word, I know) with a Spanish degree or a philosopher with a philosophy degree or a liberal artist with a liberal arts degree. So the idea is you look up jobs that take applicants with such degrees. in theory an advisor will tell you that, but I have never heard of a case where an advisor says do not go for a Renaissance dance theory degree if youre looking for a job, so I guess you got to research that on your own --- Keep Rollin Rollin Rollin (yeah!) <cite>limp-bizkit-89 posted [p:956872232] in How are ec...
