For stem you really need some passion about what it is

Or else you'll go mad

eh not entirely

I mean I can literally feel the benefits of the work I'm putting in. But now that I've kinda decided I wanna be a teacher I don't need to know half the stuff I'm learning

you can get by with just liking it and having a "can do" attitude

Oh, it's me

Hmm

see like, i like being a dev, but heck if i have actual passion for what i do haha

i just like it enough to work at it

And that's IF you are able to commute. Some people have to hope for starter positions that have remote options online until they can save up and get something better after some experience.

that too

I mean I'm going mad rn. But only because of corona

and that will matter more now with the virus

A lot of people had their summer placements cancelled

I was going for one too but alas

Job placement?

I guess it turns out for the best but still

Like a temporary one, for a couple months at an agency or something

My friends uni cancelled all exams and passed the entire year group

So, you usually get off a couple or few months through college or is it throughout the year minus a few weeks off for some minor breaks?

And here I am being told to live with it

Well our unis normally are done by june

And start again in like October

So there's a lot of free time there

time to be an epic gamer quid

?

There's much more cram expected w/ an online program.
