I'm interested in both and can get into Data Science with both, but I'm mainly asking myself which one would be better paired with a career in journalism? (data journalism)

No I agree, but I'm so confused and I don't even know why. I can't even imagine what sort of thing I'd like to do, lately I can't even do anything enjoyable in daily life actually. It's a phase and it makes me doubt about everything that's why I can't just put things to the side even though they're probably not for me

Thank you ❤️

Same thing here in Italy, according to what I read.

Thank you!

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 1 week ago (2 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.

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 7 points 1 week ago (6 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 1 week 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
