Trying to succeed in college as a STEM major

[WhyBother]

I think being in college and not having your needs met is detrimental to your health especially in college. Knowing that no matter how hard you try you get nothing while seeing others around you get everything. Living on campus is a living hell, wish I did the smart thing and be a commuter. Depression is killing me and my motivation to go to class and do work. Have to ingrain in myself that if I graduate and get a good job I can get a good job, then cope until I die or kms later down the line. Once I've done everything I wanted (women exludded obviously)

Has anyone or anyone graduated college and gone into the tech field? How is it? and are they filled with soy cucks, npcs and pc culture? Just want to prepare myself.

Well then, I would have to inform you that "mastery" subjectively-arises from actual fluid usability and necessity of the language rather than simple rote memorization, as you seem to display. Your interchangeable use of the terms "programmer" and "scripter" is rather questionable, given significant differences between programming and scripting. Nonetheless, I would not argue that you are necessarily incapable. I would simply state that you may not be as capable as you attempt to claim. This is simple novice's overestimation.

I did basically everything you said. I commuted instead of living in dorms which meant I had no social life. I got good grades and after 2 years of internslaving found a decent WFH job. At first it was nice. But it quickly got old.

You're correct that depression and isolation makes it much harder to succeed. While I was still in college I wasn't completely blackpilled, I still thought I might end up okay if I found a good job. Now I have no such delusion. And it's killed all motivation to advance my career.

Humans need motivation to get shit done. The whole "just do it, man up, have willpower" is a hoax. If you don't believe there will be a reward for your efforts, there's no reason to try. Stardusk puts it well:

im an oldcel but i did and got a good job working for FAANG making ~300k. but eventually burned out from loneliness/depression and am gonna rope when i run out of money.

i don't think i'd be able to do it today with the amount of blackpill material. incels weren't really a thing back then.

God damnit, I wanted to get into faang but feared the exact same thing. I understand with roping when you run out. I plan on doing that after getting into the career and doing everything I want to do.

Making me wish I never discovered this until after schhol.

Was planning on getting internships as well but damn, living on campus and school is fking me up.

Did watch that stardusk video, the reason why most people succeeded in the past was because they were having their needs met or they're in a deep depression rn and are contemplating roping everyday.

Yeah I would not bother with faang, you will definitely burn out, and they're doing layoffs right now anyway. In fact the entire economy is in a shitstorm right now, you may not find a job at all.

Damn, I have a retail job that lets me work whenever I'm on breaks. Was planning on doing internships next year. Definitely am gonna avoid to faang. Also, fuck math.

I'm also universityslaving rn. I had friend who was just like me and we got on well. He dropped out this semester and now I'm really sad . No toiletfriend. STEM has a 40/60 toilet man ratio in Norway and they all hate me. "Just join a study with tons of toilets bro " If it wasn't for my dad who would be crushed, I would've definitely kms by now ngl. The days are so lonely and so stressful because of the damn deadlines and exams.

I’m a commuter in my senior year for my BA and it is even more giga brutal knowing I have no chance at college pussy since I am only there for classes and never get invited to shit have no friends I have to fucking sneak in parties since nobody talks to a giga trucel

I've been trying to get a job in web development, but the thought of having to compete against thousands of other people who are more hard working and intelligent than me makes me want to put a fucking bullet through my skull and end this miserable existence. No wonder why I have no motivation JFL

That's why I'm going for something in java/c++ or something along those lines. Web development seems too saturated tbh. Guess I'll cope until I die. Buy a sex doll and all that. Not even going to look at women unless I'm paired with them in class. That is the only exception.

I also wanted to avoid web dev but it's hard to unless you're doing embedded (which is hard to do WFH with since usually in a factory or something). I barely avoided it by doing automation which is still dealing with websites usually but at least I don't have to be designing stupid ass buttons and layouts all day.

I have cs degree but every job seems to be web dev now
