Long story short: I have a crush on him and he makes me nervous, I always try to avoid him, other times I look at him and can't help but smile. He's always nice, I'm a weirdo.

One day I was trying to avoid eye contact with him but then I looked up and saw he was staring at me with a raised eyebrow and sort of confused and I'd say even disgusted 💔 I smiled sort of saying "oh I'm sorry" and his face... I can't forget it, it just turned to something else entirely and I hope it was a good thing. But I'm not sure that's why I need advice on how to interpret it.

He seemed to feel sorry for me? He seemed sort of surprised, raised eyebrows, and his eyes got softer and sad..?

That's exactly what stops me: I had a course, it was C and Python programming and I did quite well but it was really basic. And if it hadn't been for what I was studying before, I would have never tried programming.

But new things are actually a good thing... For example what makes me consider computer science is the idea that later I might get into data science and maybe do something as a data journalist. But even if I think it's really cool, I don't know if I'll actually like doing it.

I was thinking I could combine it with something about design (single courses, self taught or whatever opportunity arises), and I even found out about this guy, Leonardo Nicoletti Just imagine being able to do that! What scares me is the actual doing, I'd like to get more into it but don't know how to try it out in the few months I have left. I think I could access further studies in Data Science even through Economics or Engineering but CS seemed like the "whole package"... Idk

especially given the carnage going on in /r/cscareerquestions—it’s not looking good.

What do you mean? if you have the time, of course

[–] birretta@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Normally engineering and computer science pay the most.

All three open various different job positions, but, in my case, the problem is age.

To me business and economics sounds like the more flexible one, but that's not always a good thing cause being less "specialized" can mean lower value, at least for some job positions...

What matters most to me is finding a job first, and then being able of moving from there. Example:

  • computer science I'd be able to find something, but I'm not sure I'd have what it takes to build a fulfilling career in that field.

And still everytime I choose to not opt for it I think "how do I know, it's not like they prepared me for this choice, I might actually love it" so I go back to these questions and others a thousand times a day :) And never pick anything.

Troverò lavoro se inizio la triennale a 27 anni? Al momento senza laurea e disoccupata, ovviamente lavorerò durante la triennale e cercherò di sfruttare la laurea prima del titolo, ma giusto per avere qualche prospettiva...

Preferirei economia (un corso in inglese, L-18) ma forse con ingegneria avrei accesso più facile al mondo del lavoro, consigli?

In futuro proseguirei in ogni caso con magistrale, master...

Yes you're right but what I'm talking about refers to the job side alone. I'm going to opt for one of these three things, and I don't know how to choose

[–] birretta@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (5 children)

You're right.

Well I've always been great with languages, intuitive with technology (but I'd prefer to avoid working with it, or living with it in general), I'm detail oriented and good at getting organized (when I know what I want haha). I like helping people, I'm understanding and I love interacting with others, I'm curious and I like variety even though I'm a bit introverted and reserved. But being of service is a good way for me to bridge that gap, if it makes sense.

I like researching and collecting stuff, mostly when it comes to things I like, be it music or films or books.

Thank you.

Unfortunately I don't know what I want in any aspect of my life. Right now the only thing I need is to make some sort of decision, but I really don't know how to do that

[–] birretta@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

I don't want to share too many details, but I'm happy to talk about my passions.

I love music, cinema, literature, and theatre. I'm also interested in psychology and sociology. In fact, I'd put everything I enjoy under "sociology" because what I like is understanding society from different perspectives and media.

If I had to merge these, I'd say design, but I'm not particularly fond of the kinds of work that involve it. Enjoying something doesn’t always translate to enjoying a job related to it.

This is why I find it difficult to identify a job that I would enjoy more than others.

Well of course, but the context is I'm choosing what to major in... And if you read you'll see I'm choosing between things I don't hate that much for more job opportunities, but still in hope I'll get a chance at something I like.

Love is a big word but that's what came to me in the moment, and being that ppl ho read me usually can contextualize, I used it without fear of being misinterpreted this much

 

I gave up on a study course after five years of hell and now I'm back at my parents' house and must make a big decision on what career to pursue and find a job asap. But I just can't decide, I can't picture myself in 5/10 years from now and can't even imagine what type of job I'd love, bc everything seems out fo reach and impossible, just like it felt when I was 20.

I'm from Italy, and I made my previous choice based on job perspectives here, now I'd like some perspective from abroad...

  • business and economics This is a course in English, I also speak French and in an ideal world I would have studied foreign languages (but in reality, I would have found no job, here at least, or nothing promising). Studying economics in English would sort of fulfill that, I'd study other languages and strive to become an export manager with time. Other than that I could combine it, in THe future, with studies in cultural heritage, which would be my first choice if only I could live off of that. And find related jobs as I go.

  • computer science. Never interested me that much, I had a basic programming course which wasn't that bad, I think I'd be able to do that... But I don't know if I'd really want that. I've thought about it bc I'm interested in data journalism, and I could combine it with data visualization, design, writing... But that's more like an interest, I don't think I'd like the actual careers I'd have access too... I don't even have that much knowledge on what possible jobs would be like.

  • management engineering Again export or project manager. I'd prefer economics, but bc of my age this might give me slightly better chances of finding a job asap?

Of course the careers I mentioned require years of work and I'm willing to do that, the problem is I feel very confused, I'm afraid of wasting time bc of my age, maybe studying and not finding a job and also how can one know if a career is the right one for you? You first have to get there...

Any type of advice would be of great help, thank you in advance

 

I reinstalled windows using a bootable USB a few times... I remember that last time I had all MS office apps installed and I deleted them cause I didn't want to use them on desktop, only via browser...

Now I need them, but this time, after reinstalling, I didn't find them (probably cause I logged with the previous account).

Am I doing something wrong this time, when reinstalling? (Not resetting completely or something) Or is it bc of the account? Would creating a new one resolve the issue?

Thank you in advance!
