Hey /sci/, how did the graduation go?
Have you found a job yet? Did you get that field service engineer job you wanted?
Did post uni life turn out to be like you expected?

I graduated with a master's degree in computer science. I could only find code monkey and data science jobs, so I applied to a doctoral school instead, to delay the inevitable future wagecucking.

I'm in my last year of comp engineer, I'm an idiot, I under perform and I feel left behind. I feel like I don't deserve a seat in my university. I have a part time job as a front end web developer which makes me feel a little better because I get paid well.
I have nightmares where everyone tells me to drop out of college, that I have tried long enough

Graduated EE in December. Got a job in defense doing what I'm interested in. Renting an apartment by myself is great. I get to shit with the door open. I can see why people would complain about wageslavery and shit if they hated their job. Fortunately I love what I do.

Finishing up my internship, before starting senior year EE. Was really struggling to get internships until I got this shitty non engineering railroad supervisor internship. I applied to one job in my town that was in my specializationand industry I wanted. The director got back to me, asked for my unoffical transcript, than after seeing my shit grades, still scheduled me for a interview.

I'm really hopeful of the future even though I might not get this company, the fact that I'm finally getting some responses means I have a good chance of getting employed. Even with my shit grades and what I thought as not great internship. Apparently however from what i have discussed, people fucking love hiring from my company. Like people have left the 1 year management training program for gigs at apple and NASA.

I kick ass at interviews, I sincerely believe if they can look past my grades, I can get this job.

The future is bright boys, good luck out there.

Do your undergrad in CS then do a postgrad EE BSc. That way you have two papers, it will weigh in more on your application

I'm on my 4th interview for junior mechanical engineering jobs and I think it went great but they have a 2 week plant shutdown until they're doing 2nd rounds of interviews so best case scenario I'm still jobless until late august-September. Fuck my life.

Got the job before the degree.
Currently running pcr for a gene therapy company full time while wrapping up the bachelors at night. The income is nice at 75k but organic chem part time at night is slowly killing me

Graduated in May. Could have had a job in Defense doing work that I would have enjoyed. Turned the offer down because I am morally opposed to working for the military. Now I've just seen rejection emails in my inbox for the last few weeks. Got a few interviews. Rejected after all of them. I contemplate suicide semi seriously once every two weeks.

It can take 6 months to get a job. A full year for government jobs. Shoulda been looking sooner.

Swallow your pride and ask for the defense job. There are plenty of pacifists working in the military doing all kinds of non-violent jobs

I do. Work 6 months out of the year at best, have travel, hotel and food covered, work is a good balance of light physical and thinking, pay is great, especially if you can pull in advisory stuff on the side. Rest of the time is off for you to do whatever you want.
Oh, also you get whatever car you need. I always justify the extra factory tuning package with better handling and power to get out of hot situations giving better safety.

It's too late for that now. Regardless, the job was making weapons. Not exactly non-violent.

Not him but why would someone go? Depending on the size of the school, those ceremonies are generally boring and slow. Not really worth going to, especially since obtaining an undergraduate degree isn't too big of an accomplishment. The only reason anyone would go is for their parents/family.

Nigga every field service gig I’ve interviewed for or heard about is brutal 12-18 hour days, 7 days a week, and for the better part of the year you are living out of a hotel. Yeah the pay is nice but the turn over rate in field service is stupid high because guys burn out in the first two years.

Good choice. I had the opportunity to go design explosive lenses in the next generation of nukes. Hard pass because the recruiter looked like he could have played the grim reaper in an HBO series and stunk like cigarettes. The look in his eyes said it all.

At my graduating the class, the majority of people I spoke to stated they went for their families. The commencement itself is just listening to bunch of rich old people humble brag about their lives and try to impart some generic "wisdom." Last minute pictures with friends is alright. But the real celebration happens the week before commencement where everyone and their brother is throwing a wild party.
