I am a stereotype, I’m an Asian engineer who turns down my hiphop when I see black people, drive an accord, play street fighter,know martial arts. had buckteeth and myopia.
Cultural observation is not a negative thing, people think knowing Indians own quickie marts is something racist, except it’s true. Because in Indian culture shop keeper is considered professional on par with doctor or attorney and it’s an easy subsidized loan for immigrants to get so it becomes prevalent.
I’m still around. I genuinely hate the look of this forum (far too cluttered) and honestly forgot my password years ago. Preppy helped me get it back though. The worst part is that I’ve already forgotten it again lol
That’s brutal. I went to a for profit school as well to get my A&P license. It’s working out for me though. And soon once I get a direct position with the company I’m with. I can start doing overtime and making payments on my student loan debt. But like some of those guys were saying. Some of these low tier schools are not worth the time and investment, especially depending on your major. If you’re going for like engineering or something big like that. Best route is to either do good in High School so you can get a scholarship and accepted to a university. Or Do two years of community college in which you take courses related to what you want to major in. Then transfer to a university. Because in those fields. Degrees from such schools aren’t really respected.
Honestly all these private for profit schools need to go. It should just be community colleges, colleges and universities. And skilled labor such as mechanical work, plumbing, electrician etc. Should be taught in High School to Juniors and Seniors as electives. Imagine how many kids would be ready for the workforce and making decent money straight outta High School if they spent their Junior and senior years, spending a few hours after school a day, learning how to weld, work on cars, planes, and build shit?
So far so good. The lesson they wanted me to do was terrible. It’s a bit easier to explain stereotypes if you explain how The brain is trying to sort information and fill in a lot of gaps they don’t see.
Code samples by being involved in a project on Git and an aptitude certification. The whole “Were going to find you a job” angle at a for profit school is usually blowing smoke up your ass, can get the same help showing up at a job fair.
Start by finding the job you want, then work back from there. Don’t start with I need to learn to code, learn a language then trying to find a job where it’s useful.
My friend did a code boot camp thing in Austin and is making 50K/yr despite having no prior experience. Try to at least learn HTML and CSS beforehand. I’m no programmer so let one of these other dudes lead the way.
