Student at college in social science, dunno what I want to do with my life anymore, wanted to be a pilot, but i dunno, its really hard to get accepted into that college, might look into like communications at uni. I work for the city, I get to do my homework at my job so im happy with my job, allows me to finish my homework in a comfy office while getting payed.

I'm a 3rd year computer science major. Wish I had done 1/4 of the things you have in HS when I was in HS.


I don't know what "Computer Science" is like in the USA. Could you give me some details as to what subjects you study, and what the areas of focus are?

Nah, j/k, it didn't hurt. It's okay, I guess. There's always my good friend Mr. Wright Hand beside me, whenever I need him. <3

Just as many above me, im a full time uni student.

My main income is poker, I play on weekends. Im not getting super rich but I made
a couple hundred bucks so far.

Satisfied? Hell yes. Well, I wouldnt go as far as dropping out to make a career in poker, but I like the student lifestyle in a whole eventhough its alot of investment (both time and money).

I'm currently doing a co-op placement(without pay) in the accounting office for one of the biggest construction companies in Ottawa/Toronto, and an aspiring accounting student :)
I would like to take a couple of courses in college just for interest.

Job atm? Unemployed, fml.
Satisfied? Somewhat. Could use the money though :soosad:

@Stress,
The E1 program I use at my co-op is from Oracle

Mostly spend it on Monster Drinks, cigarettes and alcohol, always end up with no cash 15 days after I get them. fml.

It's all Jeroens fault.. True story.

But gonna try to get out some information from a friend of mine that sells Canada Goose jackets and various buy & sell sites that he buy for like 30 euro each and sell for 100 euro, a good deal.

It's basically the study of the theory and concepts behind the manipulation of information/data. First few courses focus on the basics of programming, then from there it gets really deep into theory and concepts.

Some main courses/topics are: computer organization (binary, logic), data structures, algorithm analysis, discrete structures, software engineering, machine/assembly, compiler theory, file structures, computer architecture, systems programming, modelling systems...yada yada.

In all the above you complete assignments by coding (usually in java or C++), but the emphasis is not on "can you code", more on do you understand the structures, theory, and concepts behind your code.

Lol @ how you made 'living on 100 euros a month' seem like a bad thing if you have to pay NOTHING at all, besides ... monster drinks, cigs and alcohol. FYL indeed, must be such a tough life :P

I wish I could get a job, but the school ends at 4pm and the busride is 1,30 hours long, so it's kinda hard to get it to work since I have to go up pretty early to catch the bus that goes 06.30 am =(

I'm gonna look for a part time job too and for the monster drinks. They taste great but yeah like 1.30-1.50 each 0.5l can. Had a different one with like a phoenix on the front I think. Like 65 cents for 0.5l xD Didn't taste that bad either.

But yeah I gotta stop buying expensive stuff and mostly the 'frikandelbroodjes' en ham/cheese croissants hehe, they drain me xD
