Thanks for this reminder. I think I give in to imposter syndrome too much. Because I’m also aware of the dunning kruger effect
Ooh this sounds perfect for me. I’ll have a look if something similar exists over in my country. Was yours an online course? (It sounds like it would suit the format). Yeah I feel like if I went on hiatus now I would settle in a job/place I wouldn’t want to leave but be stuck with limited prospects. I might sign up for a bachelors in coding (which I can already do) just to tick the box and devote all my remaining effort to extracurriculars/internships in the fields I’m interested in.
You’re right although recent governments have been ambivalent, especially since they rejected the ICC ruling.
Bruh imagine Taylor Swift got you pregnant
Ooh, the recruitment agency is a really good idea actually. I would be talking to someone who would fit my skills to a job sooner or later anyway, so talking to them about my prospective skills sounds useful too.
This is all super useful advice. Thank you so much for this
I wonder how much of that generic code is actually important and how much is junk.
This isn’t happening in Czechia. Our govt is staunchly pro-Israel for some reason
This but with GitHub issues
I wish there was an archive of deleted posts
How hard would you say it is to get into a field without the required degree? Because I feel like what’s weighing me down is not that I’m unwilling to learn, but that I struggle to prosper under the monotonous lecture->exam system that is a requirement for most degrees.
Hmm, I will look into this. You’re right, I have been diagnosed with ADHD. Pills have definitely helped me focus on long readings and studying, but I feel I am still more suited to problem-based learning than test-based cramming.
I’ve been thinking about this too. What puts me off is that it would just postpone the 3 more years of being bound to a uni campus into the future by one year.
I think my dream job would be designing things that undergo growth/change. Cities, cell cultures, social networks, prosthetic organs, … . What connects all of these is problem-solving to fit specific requirements, and that they are all empirical things that have to be studied from the outside using statistics and graphs. I don’t even know what this job position is called.
I studied 2 first years of biochemistry and 1 of bioengineering. My thinking was to study the bio stuff because I figured that design was something I could learn outside of uni.
I was happy on my BioEng course but had to quit due to money.
Unfortunately my current BioChem course is very demanding and isn’t leaving me any time to focus on my other interests. I am also beginning to lose steam and motivation, and I just want my bachelors to finally be over and done with tbh, so I can go out and get my hands busy.
I also wonder whether straddling so many subjects, including the needed skills (like statistics, machine learning, etc.) isn’t too ambitious. They’re all skills I’d be interested to learn, but I don’t know how many people would actually end up being employed as jacks-of-all-trades in the job I describe above. What’s more, it seems like it must be a really uncommon job and I’m afraid I would struggle to find an open position like that.
Yes, this is what I was thinking to myself. Do you have any idea what kind of person would be able to assess my strengths and give me a few pointers for what to try? I’ve actually made a list of the kinds of tasks I think I would be good at, but they could be applied in a lot of different positions, and I don’t know who to send it to…
Two of the years were spent in 1st year Biochemistry. The first time round I was quite happy but had to quit because it was too expensive, and the second time round it was cheaper but the course is significantly more demanding. I’m not that serious about becoming a biochemist, and there are other skills, like machine learning and a few other engineering subjects that I wanted to be able to learn in my free time.
Same here! Life is so much easier if you just tell the truth. This is a great quote.
Not knowing you have ADHD is almost a bigger curse than ADHD itself
