Oh fuck the other thread hit the bump limit so I'll repost this here
>>8831
What kind of country are you in that being an accountant has more status and better pay than a doctor?! I have colleagues who were downright pushed into medicine precisely because of both these points. That's ludicrous. Are they stupid?
Have you looked into foreign scholarships? If you have good enough grades for medicine, you could enroll in it in your country then immediately bail out and have essential commodities paid for. Take advantage of all the obstacles in your way to really paint a good sob story and you're pretty much set. Maybe you can even avoid the whole enrollment process in your country and get a foreign scholarship+enrollment right off the bat.
Addendum:
And who the hell doesn't want a doctor in the family? Your family is either very lucky, very naive or very rich to never have dealt with shit healthcare providers.
Or maybe being an accountant is more of a do-nothing job than I give it credit for and they're sincerely looking out for you having a well-paying job that doesn't take much effort? I don't know. Depending on your specialty, a doctor's job can be pretty thankless.

>>8844I would consider that sushi's aunt might have suggested accounting because it is lower stress than being a doctor. I had an uncle who begged his kid not to become a doctor because their life would be taken up by it.

>I wanted to go to medical school and I've prepared whatever it takes, even facing the sexist stereotypes in my country. However, my mom forced me to go to an accounting school instead and I absolutely hate it.Oh… as someone who had to go through this for every minor thing, starting from having their friends selected to the selection of the education/career path, your post caught my eye.
As you already know, forcing your children to do whatever you want them to
always backfires.
>I'm on my last year now. And I've been telling my mom for ages that I want to quit—she just doesn't let me.That's obviously even worse, because everyone will keep telling you stuff like "but you are so close?! Why would you want to quit NOW?!". Please, don't let it get to you.
>but I want to go to medical school. I know how taxing it is, I know how bad it is for medical staffs now during the pandemic, and I still want to do it.I wish someone like you to treat me in the future, if I get ill.
That's admirable, honestly.
>Sure, being an accountant has a good pay, but it doesn't matter if I ended up hanging myself mid-way.I've seen so many people finishing a so-called "good university course" and being so depressed they couldn't work a day afterwards.
>you have a happy life and well-cared for, why are you, what is that again, depressed?Is depression stigmatized where you live? I imagine it's so… well, it honestly is so in most places. Is it possible for you to get some help?
>ignoring my countless suicide attemptI figure everyone knows about these? Sometimes it takes just one (plus the admission to a mental hospital) for the parents to reflect on their mistakes… which I assume isn't so in your case, right?
>>8844I guess it might depend on the specialty. If you become a nurse after a nurse specialty, you might not earn that much.
I think I have a friend with 2-3 university degrees and some medical certifications, yet they still might earn less than me (which doesn't really matter, since they love their job, while I despise mine).

I didn't quote any post!
By the way, whenever I try to delete my posts I always get a wrong password error. Maybe you should look into that admin. In other imageboards I used to browse that used this software, I knew I couldn't close all tabs to the imageboard's website because then I wouldn't be able to delete my posts. I always assumed that had something to do with having cookies disabled. However, in sushichan it won't work even if I try it in the same tab as the one I used to post my reply. Very weird, but I'm assuming it has something to do with me getting into this thread from /kaitensushi/ rather than from /lounge/.

>>8885irc is kind of "dead" in a cultural sense since it's not a major internet crossroads anymore but it can still be surprisingly vibrant and the users friendly.
Depends a lot on whether the network/channel has an actual active purpose or topic or whether it's just a place where users go to hang out with people they already know. It's not as easy to find as it was twenty years ago but there's still good places on all the major networks.

I rarely ever thought about what kind of learner I was, but I guess according to this doc, I fall more on the intuitive side, while trying to incorporate more methodical exercises to make sure my fundementals are intact. I haven't consistently drawn for a long time, and even then I wasn't close to mastering the exercise, so I want to make sure I'm working from a strong foundation.

The same happened to me this year, but for different reasons. Earlier this year I uploaded old japanese movies to yt thinking they would be spared by the bot but inevitably I got 3 strikes and my channel was deleted.
Since then living without a youtube channel made me realize how much all of it is a waste of time, and how little I miss it. The content that is popular/recomended is designed to be frustrating or stupefying. And even the channels which I thought were good turned out to be a waste of time. You'd be surprised how almost all of them just produce the exact same thing over and over, and people keep watching because of habits.

What do you think sushies?
I a,m learning chinese. I have noticed I can guess at the meaning of japanese text because of the semantic elements of kanji. If I learn the grammar of japanese, which is all expressed in hiragana, perhaps I could understand japanese text reasonanly well… is that too crazy?
The only objection I find is that I'd end up reading as a mixture of chinese and japanese. reading all kanji with mandarin pronunciation alongside hiragana. And end up developing bad reading habits.
No.9209
>>9205You might be able to decipher a good amount of meaning here and there but the various kanji readings are different enough from hanzi that you'll easily misinterpret a bunch of things without putting an effort into learning kanji specifically, not to mention the actual pronunciation. You probably know this already if you're learning Chinese but knowing the common readings of a character are important where it could mean different things in context.
That said, it might be a nice head start to already be familiar with a lot of characters. If you don't really want to invest too much into Japanese right now try reading stuff with furigana like shounen manga.

There is an agenda being pushed in education, sure, but where I live you're a nobody without finishing it and trades don't pay well either, the lowest of the low do them
>Hope you have a lot of courage in youI just want to learn to code and get to work from home (or just get a job) but the courses I've been getting into were pretty bad and made me doubt myself enough to go back to college.
I was also preparing to get into a two years career but due to COVID making things hard I can't get to communicate with the university I want to apply for, sent an email a week ago and I got no replies, called the phone number but nobody answered, and went to the institution and it's all closed.
It's either that or getting into a 4 years one.

>>9237It really blows how in some places degrees are more important than experience in getting programming jobs. Pretty clear case of classism if you ask me considering it's more akin to a skilled trade than anything academic.

I applied to college. The process itself was better than I expected – financial aid and paperwork has been the worst so far, but even though the workload was high, the process was manageable.
It's weird seeing 12 years of your life summarized in a ~10 page document. I want to major in Electrical Engineering, so naturally admissions are competitive. I'm honestly super nervous about acceptances and worried that I won't get in anywhere at all. Statistically I think it's pretty unlikely, but… you know, there's still the self-doubt.
As scary as it is, I'm really excited for the future. Hope everyone's taking care of themselves.

>>9291I'm applying to college to sushi roll. I think the process is pretty easy, but all the horror stories come from the suspense of waiting for an answer.
The worst part for me so far is my dad. He doesn't know much about applying to college in 2020 so he wants me to only apply to one school, not get an associates at a CC (My state is known for having the best CC to 4 year transfer programs), and I have to drag him to the computer so he can help me fill out the forms.
I also want to be an engineer sushi roll. I was aiming for mechanical though. If you don't feel confident about your chances stating your an undecided and switching to E.E is the easier route.
No.9295
>>9292Thank you!!
>>9293We got this, sushi. I have some ME friends and they really enjoy their classes. I definitely wouldn't let up on applying to a wide variety of institutions if possible, especially if you can get admissions fees waived. I've also struggled with parents underestimating the competitiveness and complexity of college in 2020 and it's definitely a lot. On the bright side, though, the end for the boring form submissions is close (at least if you're applying EA or rolling for post things)
I did consider the undeclared route, but I'm uncertain if it's actually easier to get into an engineering major as an undeclared student. Some colleges will put you into "first year engineering" which is nice and removes the competitiveness of the individual majors right out of the gates, but honestly going from high school to college it's all a crapshoot regardless.
No.9301
>>9293Out of curiosity, why do you not want to get an Associate's before transferring to a Bachelor's program at a university? I find myself wishing I'd done that sometimes just because, price notwithstanding, I felt like I didn't get much out of my first two years at university that I couldn't have gotten elsewhere, especially after having had some really great teachers at CCs for various other credits and certs and stuff. Though to be fair, I didn't really participate in any social or cultural stuff on campus either which I know is a big draw.
>>9295Not sure how it works where you are but in the US if you know for a fact that you want to study engineering there are often some non-upper-level classes that require a declared engineering major you'll need which help give you a taste of engineering before you can really sink your teeth for lack of prereqs, not to mention the major-based clubs and other resources and stuff. Though it's usually also really easy to change majors too which doesn't seem to be the case where you two are.

>>9301I actually want to go to a CC, but it's my dad getting in the way. He and his family are conservative when it comes to this stuff so going to a CC for 2 years will make them look down on me. When ever I try to explain to him why I want to go to a CC he gets this mopey 'I'll ask you if your sure until you agree with me' attitude.
I've always been kind of a push over when it comes to peoples opinions so fighting over my dad when it comes to CC. That combined with my chosen school being pretty cheap means it's not a hill I want to die over.
The only real reasons to not go to a CC is if your degree needs a lot of internships/connections, you don't have a good transfer program, or you don't feel confident making friends when you randomly transfer to a 4 year

>>9290I know how you feel
My parents were married and had children at my age. I've never so much as been in a relationship. When it's been this long you feel left behind by everyone in your age group who all figured out how to interact with the opposite sex as children. Nobody deserves to be lonely but it feels like people like me don't have any other choice. And of course every time I manage to initiate contact with a girl only to have it go nowhere or just end badly only insulates me further from even wanting to try. I'm sure I'll get shouted at for saying so but it feels like too much is expected of men in general in when it comes to dating, at least for socially stunted people like me.
No.9308
>>9305Oh, I misread. I had that too, where it was considered kind of dishonorable to not do a full 4-year program at a prestigious university and I wasn't used to making decisions for myself so I didn't protest. I can't really understand the mentality since the diploma you get looks exactly the same. At least they had good internet in the dorms.

Been very interested in physics as of late. Found a good set of books and even a set of lectures. Problem is the calculus. Not that I find it particularly hard, but I've been stuck with it for a while now. It kind of makes my brain feel tired when I try to learn it (I did learn the basics years ago), and I feel I'm going really slowly, while the very first mechanics book is juggling derivatives from chapter one.
And I can, for the most part, make sense of them, but I'm also just taking it at face value since I can't even do the math myself.

>>9360Learning to *do* physics is very much about doing thousands of problems over and over. Learning the ideas behind it is less difficult. While actual, high level math becomes problematic, for the most part entry-level stuff like linear algebra, basic topology, and yes calculus can be understood solely by what they imply. Don't worry too much about how the math actually is calculated if all you want to know is why it works.

I couldn't take him and his "quest for shitty games" seriously after the fact.
Shit on the internet isn't always what it looks like. Even people you might think do their shtick with a level of care will easily throw away their credibility (if they ever had any?) for a touch of sensationalism. It's never the skilled or knowledgeable people whose voice becomes louder, it's the guys with the best PR.

>>9444My dip into cheap IEMs left me unimpressed with the Tin T2s. They are bulky, I always have trouble with MMCX (actually broke the cable on mine trying to remove it), and the sound signature is pretty boring. I really like the Moondrop Starfields, but those are a bit further up in terms of price. I can wear them all day with Spiraldots or Spinfit tips and they sound amazing! Moon drop came out with some cheaper IEMs that might be worth getting.
My favorite cheapies are a set of Massdrop Pinnacles. They sound okay, but they are small enough that I can rest the side of my head on a pillow and not have them be uncomfortable. They were like $20 when I bought them.

At this point I think I'm fed up with my school constantly asking about their students' dreams in literally everything. Weekly assignments, essays, papers, exams… since I have to lie on every single one of it.
I don't have any particular dreams, I don't even bother to. I'm just living according to where life takes me. I have goals, but not necessarily a dream, and those goals are selfish as fuck (buying a PC that's good enough to play modern games, saving up money to pay for both bills and hobbies).
It's ticking me off in the wrong way about their optimism that their students have dreams. I'm sorry, mine is crushed a long time ago, so can you stop giving your students assignments like that for, you know, a day? 'Cause it's starting to get old to repeat the same lie just to get high score credits… I enrolled to a university damn it, not some sort of motivational seminar!

>>9498Quick question are your first to second year of college? A lot of colleges do stuff like this to be a pseud filter. Kids who don't know what they want to be when they grow up and choose a degree randomly or people with no passion, but a love of money tend to be trouble for colleges. Those stupid essays are a way to nip that idea at the bud and prevent them from wasting 4 years on a degree that makes them go "I hate this".
I have the same problem too. I don't see my degree as something I should be passionate about, but as a means to an end for money. I'd be ok doing any degree if it made me money and left me enough free time for my hobbies. I've long ago accepted I'd rather daydream about what I hope in life than getting it, so I have no real dream I want to achieve. Like you I just lie when they ask the question
A bit different, but I can't take "how would you survive X", "live in x time period", or live in the wild type questions. I'm diabetic so the answer always devolves to "I would have no insulin if I were at X. I die in a week". You can't stretch that answer out into 3 paragraphs so I just forget I have diabetes and make shit up.
