Nah, ahaha I'm not interested in the medical field at all. It's just my mum is convinced that if I don't become an engineer, doctor or dentist I will end up homeless leleel
tfw when wanting to become a lawyer is no longer good enough

It's always the mum that is the pessimist...

Law is really interesting tbh, I think its a great career choice.

Yup, for the "lols" as well!

Hahaha, half the people that do the UMAT probably do it for the "lols".

Nah, deep down she loves smearing a layer of cement onto the rough bricks and then laying it onto another brick.

What do you actually want to be?(dont say not a brickie lelel)

my dad doesnt care though, he just says do whatever you want to do, just make sure that you excel at whatever it is.

my mum though..lol
i wanted to do computer science at one point (still might actually, combined with law. have to go learn to be good at 3u/ 4u? maths though)
so she did some 'research' and was like nah theres no jobs in computer science, only in software engineering. so just become an engineer

your mum doesn't understand the growing importance of the technological world. Go do CS if you want to. The world needs more people in technological development.

Well, the world also needs more ethicists and philosophers, but that's what I'm here for.

Ahaha, tbh I'm not even really interested in it for technological development. I have no desire to create anything, or really add anything to the world. I love programming purely because it amuses me and I find it stimulating, and I feel similarly about law.

The same can be said for me and mathematics. I find it amusing, relaxing, enjoyable, frustrating, easy and hard, so I'm going to take use of that and make it my means of survival.

Well, I'm not so deeply passionate about any field to want to do it for my entire life. Rather, my underlying motivation for everything comes from my competitiveness. Really my goal in life is to play in the big kids pool ahaha

don't let that be your only motivation. otherwise, you'll eventually reach a point where you can compete no more and have some kind of identity crisis. first hand experience. (also which is why I'm not competitive and don't care particularly well for my HSC)

The last sentence...

Comp sci/software engo are literally the same in the industry.

Just because one has engineering in the name doesn't make it any better than comp sci.

Social Justice & Spirituality portfolio meeting today. Dumbass religious zealot Year 11 suggested that all non-Catholics should be expelled. College captain said that was illegal

im the same tbh really not motivated for any particular field atm and my marks definitely suffer, if Im motivated I would actually work hard and study but really have not been caring tht hard. (though honestly I still am thinking at this point people overblow the HSC and you dont have to try THAT hard) I have some ideas though and will probably try to get money to make them reality

see for me I've never really had an issue with this, like when I decide I want to do something, in a way it's like I'm competing against my self - what I think I'm capable of versus what I am actually capable of.

Unlike everyone, I want to be paid to learn

I think they call that research lol

That being said, imo knowledge in and of itself in a vacuum is useless
It is only be applying the knowledge that it is actually worth having

You'd better keep that opinion to yourself. >:

I'm going to watch your posts carefully from now on.
