im doing CS and 2 years into my degree im not even sure if i am on the right track. Got fucked left right and center by some of courses. And I actually liked programming and the idea of solving problems when I first started. Confused, depressed, suicidal now- shit gpa, worried about my future, no idea what i like or what i should do anymore. How to find help...
Really you have 2 choices - either continue with the course or switch. It may be hard to switch at first, but it might be worth it to find a better suited course for you! definitely look into similar ones, like SE, or think about other things you enjoy. If you decide to stay, Even if by the end your gpa is still low, people are gonna listen to you and give you chances to do extra coursework and shit. After all, your life is still really only starting and you have so much shit ahead of you. I had a similar problem by the end of high school, almost a failing GPA - of course that's not the same, but really, only thing you can do is continue. Eventually things will sort themselves put, as cliche as that sounds.
2 years in you might as well finish it man. I know why you feel depressed, most likely because you're getting terrible grades, and you're anxious that you wont be as competitive when you graduate. Let me just say then, that not once have employers asked me about grades even at interviews even for my first job. What saved me was doing albiet small personal projects in my spare time outside of school semesters. During your school breaks summer or winter, go online and follow some project tutorials to make something and learn tools worth placing on your resume. Employers don't give a damn about grades so long as you demonstrate passion, interest and commitment in other ways, and this is often through your portfolio, what projects have you done in your spare time, outside of your school terms. Don't quit, and don't you dare switch majors because that cs degree is valuable for getting you that interview, after that the rest is in your hands, all of this is a matter of how determined you are.
@@madalinaandreia1510 This depends on the college. I recommend before making any judgement on whether to major in CS, to check with your college and ask them for a list of "core subjects". Also, you do not need to be exceptional at math to do CS in general just make sure you understand your basic high-school math material before jumping into the degree. AND most importantly, the degree is called computer science, not software engineering, so when you do decide to do the degree, do not be surprised when many subjects are theoretical. All the best.
Bro, tell them the truth! In the grand scheme of things, CS is complicated and challenging. The sleepless nights I've been having so close to graduation are proof. Ha, STEM is no joke. Congrats on earning your degree, though.
underrated opinion :cs theory is valuable
true but it’s hard 😂
This is surprisingly different from when Jarvis Johnson, who also went to Georgia Tech, did a similar video about 7 years ago.

With a CS degree already covering A.I., do you think that's enough to become an A.I. software engineer?
not really - u usually need masters/phd
How come your first class of math was discrete mathematics??
he prolly already had his calculus credits, that’s the only math that would come before discrete

So he did advanced placements.
did you not need to take ge’s?
