You're not wrong, man.
And I don't know why the hiring process is so idiotic.
"Where do you see yourself in 10 years?"
Homeless. |

| How do you do in science, aside from calculus? If you could handle the science, you might be a good fit for a health care field, and that is a growth area in all specialties. This could be nursing or any of a number of allied careers such as respiratory therapist, lab tech, physical therapy, physic... |

| That's not going to get you very far. You need to have a strong track record in publishing if you want to compete with other people for jobs in writing/publishing. Again, in addition to a track record portfolio, your aptitude, competence and performance (e.g. grades) are also taken into considerati... |

| Psychology bachelor's degrees are a way overpopulated field, with poor job prospects. Unless you love it, and plan on going for the master's, I wouldn't recommend it. In lieu of engineering, where other students might have an advantage over you if you haven't done well in calculus, maybe you could ... |

| Well it's been said before, why don't incels just go for prostitutes. But is it because they know that the prostitutes don't really want them so the relief and satisfaction is just not there with them therefore? I would say that likely at least some of these men know that prostitutes are FAR, FAR m... |

Continue doing what you are doing: Continue to complain about being dateless while knowing why and doing nothing about it. [/color] I... |

| This would directly tie into religion, since "destiny" and "fate" are two different ideas. They both tell of the future, but destiny is predestined, meaning some sort of spiritual being is around to make sure that it happens according to Their plan. |

Yep, a pass in calculus will mean struggling but that's why aptitude is often more important than competence. If a student is keen to do an engineering degree th... |

I wasn't thinking of the pre-psychology helping in finding engineering jobs, but just any jobs.
At the moment, I'll see if I can apply to other universities. |

My first 2 choices were both forms of engineering, and my third choice was a BA in psychology. I don't have any other options, I have to tell my dad that it seems changing my car... |

| Interviewing isn't the best way to get work; it's just the process which is the most public and formalized. A huge proportion of jobs - usually the better ones - are gained by networking: knowing people and knowing people who know people, and building and maintaining those social networks (not the ... |
