It is when you're paying a school thousands of dollars and won't make a decent living off of it.

Quote from: Winy on November 03, 2015, 06:58:37 PMI recently spoke to my adviser today about my future, and I asked him where most of the Astronomy majors end up. Probably sixty percent head onto graduate school and likely perform research, but that's not really what I want to do. I might end up getting my teaching certification after I complete my BS.thats what i wanna do babe

You can make models of parts and them import them to assemble them and then animate the final design.

Also college is for learning so you can use your knowledge in the job force. Nobody is paying thousands and risking debt to not net a return.

Programming is the shit. My new job basically forced me to learn JQuery, and it's sooooo much easier and more intuitive and Javascript is. Once you learn one language, the others will come to you a lot faster, IMO.

Well then when those tools become a big deal, I'll learn those too. Now shut up and fix the damn navbar.

ENGLISH IS A SUPER DUPER USEFUL SKILL
i hope you know that just because you're pursuing a CompSci major doesn't automatically guarantee you anything once you're out of college, and it's a shame that so many people have this mentality. just study what you're passionate about and let the rest fall into place.

That's the problem. We don't live in a society where doing what you're passionate about pays the bills.Passion second, bills first.Try as you might, you can't escape it. The only slightly better chance somebody has, is doing the whole pay the bills routine, while still juggling what they're passionate about.If they're lucky, in the long run, their passion stands a chance of being so honed and well defined that it can instead pay the bills while staying as a passion at the same time.
