I never said there was no land

A problem is a problem that needs to be acknowledged and dealt with

[old radish]

Tho yes alot of inequality exists. This whole capitalism, socialism and communism shit doesn’t work

What problem?

The solution is not have less kids

It’s manage people better

[shadow tree]

Since you clearly think men should be in those positions, why don't yall go and manage that?

Also adopt.

[old radish]

@shadow tree My mom is divorced, I am 16. I run the house. I do it. And I think every guy should man up.

Men and become shit. I can say that. We have a masculinity crisis

Men have become shit^

[marsh dagger]

I agree that we have a masculinity crisis

But I don't believe the solution is directing women to take a more submissive role

A better way would be to encourage men to step the hell up anyways

[old radish]

But I don't believe the solution is directing women to take a more submissive role
@marsh dagger what is submissive in what I’ve said?

A better way would be to encourage men to step the hell up anyways
@marsh dagger you can’t expect change unless you do both. Why would men want to carry the burden of a family and the finances if people see it as being noble and good and have no rights. There’s no incentive in society to be parents anymore.

so we need to school both

we need to show that incentive still exists

if people don’t see it as^

[marsh dagger]

A question there - how do you see women becoming more receptive to the idea that, if I understood you correctly, motherhood should be their first priority?

Especially considering the societal changes over the last 40-50 years on that front

[old radish]

A question there - how do you see women becoming more receptive to the idea that, if I understood you correctly, motherhood should be their first priority?
@marsh dagger Motherhood should be a communal imperative. I read a great piece on this recently “The appropriate response here is not to pillory individuals for being unwilling to carry the burden of community, but to develop the willingness as a community to build a better, healthier society so people feel the love and drive to keep it alive, i.e. through raising children. Piling on young women for expressing their fears is misguided, even if the language they use to express this is wrong. Motherhood is getting increasingly difficult as the social dysfunctions of Muslim communities compound by the generation, and the paramount social safety nets community provides are slowly torn apart by the invasion of western norms and laws around family, marriage, childrearing, etc.” (https://traversingtradition.com/2020/10/05/motherhood-is-a-communal-imperative

Adding to that, Giving mothers gold status, promoting men and women to do so it’s better for both of them.

[uneven cliff]

@old radish economically, women should be encouraged to work rather than become mothers. It benefits society as a whole.

plus, whats unethical with being a business major?

some people lose and some people win in the game of business, just grow up and face that reality.

just saying, no matter what political stance you are, capitalism is the only legitimate system we have

greed is good, self interest is what advanced us as a species

[tiny ridge]

Okay can I just weigh in here? I completely agree with what @shadow tree and @marsh dagger said because dude you can’t expect women to just stay home and prioritise their home management over work if that’s not what they want to do. That makes us no better than the generations that came before us and have tried to keep women out of the workforce because they were better at “raising children”. That’s just not how it works now, there are so many dads that are transitioning to homemakers while the mothers go out to work and be breadwinners. Gender simply isn’t a factor in this discussion anymore. Sure, sometimes those women who choose to have children may prioritise them over their working life, but there are still provisions made to allow the simultaneous management of a work life and a home life.

We are nowhere near our extinction point if that is your fear, in fact there are some very interesting proposals which state that the environment (Earth) has reached its carrying capacity and any greater increases in population would simply be unsustainable. It is in fact this SCIENTIFIC thinking which must be adopted if we want to survive and thrive with the other populations that we share our earth with.

The society is changing and developing, and regressive thinking will get you nowhere. You should change with the times or they will leave you behind. @old radish would you not want your mother, your sisters, your girl friends to have a choice when it comes to their own lives? Or would you want them to succumb to society’s interests and propaganda and give up their dreams just to fulfill someone else’s dream of them bearing kids?

No, it must be solely the woman’s choice whether or not she is to have kids, and promoting motherhood over a working life is simply biased and may sway the mother’s autonomy in the decision. It is after all her body, her life, her choice whether she wants to work or raise children, or both. You neither have the right to question her abilities, nor to influence this choice in any way, or it will make you no better than the regressive thinkers of the past.

[uneven cliff]

@tiny ridge agreed, liberty is the answer

[stuck tree]

Idk if i have the energy to weigh in with an essay as well so I'll just say this. My mom did a fantastic job with working and raising me and my brother. It's not impossible. Both my parents worked and they still managed to raise us to become pretty good people.

So it's really about the type of person you are. And ofcourse my mom isn't the only one to praise here, without the support of my dad, im sure she would've struggled much worse. So at the end of the day, just let people live their lives.

[crimson willow]

@shadow tree yes, but they’ll barely be as good as a man and a women
@old radish don't want to start a debate all over again, but just wanted to point out that this point has no scientific standing, only cultural bias

@marsh dagger Motherhood should be a communal imperative. I read a great piece on this recently “The appropriate response here is not to pillory individuals for being unwilling to carry the burden of community, but to develop the willingness as a community to build a better, healthier society so people feel the love and drive to keep it alive, i.e. through raising children. Piling on young women for expressing their fears is misguided, even if the language they use to express this is wrong. Motherhood is getting increasingly difficult as the social dysfunctions of Muslim communities compound by the generation, and the paramount social safety nets community provides are slowly torn apart by the invasion of western norms and laws around family, marriage, childrearing, etc.” (https://traversingtradition.com/2020/10/05/motherhood-is-a-communal-imperative
@old radish to hammer home a point that was mentioned earlier the market thrives when everyone acts in their own interests. It. You are referring to an economics that belongs to Adam Smith, which is just BS rn because that's not how the market works. You'd be better off looking at John Nash's work in that front.

"Motherhood is getting increasingly difficult as the social dysfunctions of Muslim communities compound by the generation, and the paramount social safety nets community provides are slowly torn apart by the invasion of western norms and laws around family, marriage, childrearing, etc.", again I don't see a bell curve supporting this. This is not a question of cultural preference but just straight up facts, nothing more, nothing less.

[uneven cliff]

@crimson willow Adam Smith is still relevant to this day, the only thing that's different is the digital technology of this age. Every single economist uses Smith's ideas as a foundation and rejecting them is plain wrong.

[crimson willow]

Oh oops my bad, I am no economist shouldn't have gone there, so yeah ig my point doesn't stand then. What about John Nash though?

[old radish]

@tiny ridge have I not repeatedly said for it to be an option? There are very, very few things in the world that are as hard as being Mother. So it obviously should have a higher status than most things women can do.

@crimson willow You think single dads or single moms are better than 2 parents? Or Do you believe Men and Women are equally equipped to take care of kids?

[crimson willow]

I don't want to cloud this channel any further so don't wish to comment since I feel this will lead us down a rabbit hole

Let's keep things to #career-advice

[old radish]

@uneven cliff thats good for the economy, but worse for society. You promote women to always work, if you succeed. no one bones. Your population is set to gets smaller and if this happens everywhere, poof, extinction

@crimson willow we can change the channel to offtopic discussion, you just have to pic one. I have read studied to both. 2 parents > 1 Parent. Women better than taking care of kids then Men. But if ya busy, np. Take care👍🏻

[uneven cliff]

ehm no? ever heard of life expectancy, its rising. and please lets just end this debate

[crimson willow]

Agreed, let's end this debate

ehm no? ever heard of life expectancy, its rising. and please lets just end this debate
@uneven cliff a good overview of this can be found in "Factfulness" by Hans Rosling

[old radish]

even if life expectancy is high, if everywhere becomes Japan, who’s saving you?

[uneven cliff]

there is a reason why japan is number in robotics

Guys #semi-colon

[old radish]

just saying, no matter what political stance you are, capitalism is the only legitimate system we have
@uneven cliff Every System has it’s fault. In Capitalism, there’s no regulation on what is ethical income and what is unethical. Like Stock Speculation, Hedging

Hey...is anyone planning to go into data science?

[candid lion]

no i’m sorry:((

anyone planning to pursue dentistry?

[old radish]

Hey guys. The thing is the only subject I’m interested in is Maths, does a degree in math have good monetary outcomes?

[civic jetty]

no

only data analysis

otherwise you'll end up a maths teacher or something

and thats a gg

if you like maths,

[old radish]

Honestly, I won’t mind being a teacher if it didn’t require to pay that much cash till a masters/phd and still earn pennies

But I literally gotta do everything from loans

[civic jetty]

well in the long term if it makes you happy ig you should go for it

teachers can be severely underpaid though

depends what country

[old radish]

If I’m able to get a good degree and a teaching certificate I can earn in gold in the Middle East, and I’ve been raised here so that’s good as well

[thin ivy]

You might wanna consider countries that pay teacher's well

[old radish]

Here they pay alot for foreign certified Teachers

[thin ivy]

Or you could enter the tuition industry its quite a good way to earn some cash

[old radish]

The start is x3,4 of what Engineering/Accounting grade make

[thin ivy]

Depends on countries tho idk how the market is like the middle east but if youbare really good you can really maje a lot

[old radish]

Yess, Mom is a teacher and got laid off during Covid. We’ve been doing even better with only tuitions

[thin ivy]

you could basically open centres and like eventually just get teachers to teach and run it like a company

[old radish]

The Natives pays aton for private tuitions, they got alot of 💰 MashAllah

Exactly what I was thinking about doing in the future

[thin ivy]

Lowkey I wanted to do that to but the risk is pretty high too

[old radish]

Lowkey I wanted to do that to but the risk is pretty high too
@thin ivy thats my problem with teaching

If they don’t keep me because I’m a South Asian

They mostly keep Arabs at high positions sadly

But sometimes one can get lucky too

[thin ivy]

Oh I see how that could be an issue but if u run your own company you could decide

Are you hoping to only teach maths?

[old radish]

The Arabs might not want to work under me, and Kuwaitis might not send their kids here

But my mom says if we provide v good education in the upper middle class range, we can probably get students to come

[thin ivy]

Wow idk it was like that

Ah i have an idea for you tho but it would a stretch

[old radish]

the schools which do really well are out of the range of most Kuwaitis and the ones in it don’t give them the bang for their buck that we could

Ah i have an idea for you tho but it would a stretch
@thin ivy throw it at me👍🏻

[thin ivy]

Let me pm

[old radish]

No problem💯

[civic jetty]

hmm

in my country

average teacher salary is $12Mil NZD

at least at my school

nvm read that wrong

but its in the millions

private institute

[old radish]

The would love to teach, but if I don’t get into a good uni/scholarship I don’t wanna get underpaid.

Are there south asians at your institute?

[civic jetty]

No

We're a little bit racist here

Only british and Chinese

Aside from language teachers

Even then there's Chinese Spanish teachers

I'm sure there are South Asians in public schools

But they are very underpaid

They have had protests even last year

[old radish]

That’s the problem, I don’t wanna be so underpaid

In japan?

[civic jetty]

I live in New Zealand currently

But I know Japan fairly well

You won't find a good job there unless you can speak Japanese fluently

Or if you do really well in school

And by really well I mean smarter than the typical Japanese person

And Asian countries like China Japan and Korea are a bit next level

[old radish]

That’s like for the very rare case right. Like a very specialized field or something

[civic jetty]

Yeah if you wanna work in Japan/China without knowing the language you can only work in an English company

As some international coordinator or something

hey guys....if you wanna start prepping for the sat from 9th grade, what we be the best way to approach....(for example if u haven't done trig yet do u take a pretest or directly tackle each subtopic)

@civic jetty Nah Japan is too xenophobic😂

I’d rather stay here in the Middle east maybe.

[civic jetty]

True I didn't even consider that

China and Japan are really racist

[old radish]

Yeah, not worth it

[civic jetty]

I love it because I am the one who is being racist

[vital dagger]

china is pretty nice

[civic jetty]

thats why i do so well in AS english

the dogs are pretty nice

nice to eat

[visual burrow]

Which is better Software engineering or computer science

Software engineer I think

[wanton topaz]

Computer science imo

[slow widget]

I think both are good

it just depends if you are good in programming also

[frail isle]

Which is better Software engineering or computer science
@visual burrow whats the diff between both?

btw guys anybody knows whats best to do to get a career in motorsports (eg: race engineer, team principle, or other kinda engineers specialized in motorsports)

[wet dune]

Which is better Software engineering or computer science
@visual burrow it really depends on what you want to do. They are both taught the same content except one has a couple years longer and has engineer slapped in front of it

But you learn the same stuff

[wet dune]

Thank you so much
@north spoke But do take my advice with a grain of salt as each country runs differently and your country might have you take a special entrance exam for law

Do any of you think that being a student-athlete is worth it in college? (if you have the choice)

hey

so i have the option to apply to canadian university dubai after my as levels and then transfer to an affiliated university in canada. Do you think I should move after as levels or finish my a levels and then apply to this university or one in canada directly

just needed some help on this

[solar wadi]

I mean if you get accepted with only AS levels then why would you want to complete the A levels

[shy vapor]

my dads like doing A levels would increase qualifications yk but i dont see the difference

[marsh dagger]

my dads like doing A levels would increase qualifications yk but i dont see the difference
@shy vapor either way after 5 years you'll have the same degree

and jopbs dont give a shit about your A levels

[shy vapor]

yeh i trieed to explain to him

but imma talk to him abt it agian

[visual burrow]

@visual burrow it really depends on what you want to do. They are both taught the same content except one has a couple years longer and has engineer slapped in front of it
@wet dune Aren't the courses the same duration

[solar wadi]

@shy vapor just apply to it after AS and if you get accepted then go for it, if you don’t then just continue to your A levels

[shy vapor]

okay i get what you mean @solar wadi but having indian dads its kinda hard to convince them

[frozen swan]

@cold pine hmm

one of my cousins is a student-athlete

going into hardcore athletics will take up a serious lot of time

[cold pine]

Yup ik 😔

[wet dune]

@wet dune Aren't the courses the same duration
@visual burrow depends on your uni i guess. My uni has software go longer

[waxen oyster]

Anyone doing the TSA or BMAT?

I want to pursue becoming a commercial pilot and I plan to do it through flight school and degree in the same uni. I start fall 2021.. would it be advisable to go with a aviation management degree right now? Or should I hope that COVID is gone by 2025 and pilots are in demand again?

[faint hill]

@stray garden i think its better to get a degree. if you wanna wait till 2025 then my friend you are in the high tide. I saw go for it but depends on your choice

@stray garden Which uni/flight school are you planning to go to? I am asking because I have the same ambition.

[stray garden]

@marsh dagger Yeah thats what I was thinking as well... Literally pilots would be in high demand again as COVID pandemic clears up (hopefully)

Otherwise I know that many universities are desperate for Certified Flight Instructors

so I will definitely take that route

@solar pebble I have been looking mostly into Western Michigan University, but others I am applying to are also University of North Dakota, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, and Purdue University

That is for the United States

[quartz plover]

Hey. So I am here because my Alevel exams ended and I am going to prepare for uni. But I have no clue what I should study in. Like I did a lot of research but even then I am still not clearly sure what to decide. So please help.
I took phy, bio, chem and maths in Alevels. Now here's the thing, I had to take phy and chem because my mom literally made me do it. I am not interested in either of phy or chem. Like I understand phy better than chem but not genuinely interested.

I love doing maths even though it can get pretty hard, but i am okay with it atleast. And I enjoy learning bio but I don't want to go for the med line because I feel like I know that although I can try to cope with the immense pressure of studying and remembering so much, but I wouldn't want to do it. I don't want to be a doctor basically.
So after researching and all, I found out that I might be interested in engineering. Like I came to know about coding and all that, as my friends are doing engineering. So they were explaining to me abt what they are studying. So I am literally confused.

Is there anything I could study that combines bio and maths, but not related to becoming a doctor or sth. Like Idk I am not probably using the right words to explain, since med line doesn't only involve becoming a doctor.

If anyone could help suggest or recommend me things I could look into to make my decision. Please

[frozen swan]

bioinformatics?

it's the closest thing you've got given your options

sometimes bioinformatics involves a lot of physical chemistry

[quartz plover]

It involves physical chemistry?

Ohno nope

😂

I am literally shit at chemistry

@frozen swan

If there's not much to choose from anything combining bio and maths, and I were to opt for engineering. What would be the best option for me? Like there's lots of engineering. I researched abt software engineering and another one i forgot

[frozen swan]

engineering's fair enough

[quartz plover]

Also, I am highly interested in learning different languages. But I really dont know if there's anything related to that. And also my mom would def be against it lmao. Since she thinks it wouldn't lead me to any jobs in the future

[frozen swan]

I was about to say bioengineering

but same shit

physical chemistry all over

[quartz plover]

Ohnooooo

Lmaoo

Just hearing abt it literally makes me wanna cry lmao

[frozen swan]

just avoid anything that has the word bio combined with maths

because it'll definitely contain physical chemistry

[quartz plover]

How does it help if you even knew me as a person. Academically you could count me as an average student. But I believe I would have been a better student if I didn't have subjects like chemistry to learn at Alevels.

[frozen swan]

if I know you as a person

I'll know what your interests are

from the sounds of it, I don't exactly think you'll like to study engineering at a higher level

so if I insist you go onto the engineering path

I'm screwing you over

[quartz plover]

Okay yes. I did feel about the same abt myself too lmao

Which is why I am here

[frozen swan]

having no clear preferences is very risky

[quartz plover]

I am literally lost

Like I have no clue

Like as if studying all those subjects did me no good lmaooo

Is there anything related to only maths

[frozen swan]

pure maths

that's it

[quartz plover]

I have always wanted to learn accounting

My mom didnt let me

[frozen swan]

talk to people who worked in accounting

[quartz plover]

pure maths
@frozen swan but what kind of jobs would it lead me to

[frozen swan]

lots

too much

[quartz plover]

Okay I was expecting, very few. I will google about it then

[frozen swan]

far too much for me to list

anything that involves handling lots of numbers

[quartz plover]

talk to people who worked in accounting
@frozen swan I literally have 0 people to go ask around.

This is the reason i am heree lmao

[frozen swan]

and I am virtually identical

I never touched a letter on finance

nor anything outside sciences and engineering

but still

if you find maths to be difficult

I would strongly advise against pure maths and statistics

[quartz plover]

I wouldn't wanna go for all maths. I might need to research on subjects outside science and engineering then.

you definitely should

I know a guy doing aero irl, if you want me to ask him something
@shadow tree Does he do pilot studies as well?

[shadow tree]

Not that I know of

[merry sparrow]

what subjects shld i take in college to get into computer science universites

cuz im told that students with higher amounts of subjects are preferred over others by my mom

if thats not tru im losin it

[visual robin]

idk tho, I take like 6 subjects and the 6th one is actually a backup credit in case any of my science subject fail

[merry sparrow]

B R U H

[visual robin]

xD but I think your mother is actually right

[golden bear]

cuz im told that students with higher amounts of subjects are preferred over others by my mom
@merry sparrow maths physics

A humanity subject

[merry sparrow]

idh humanities tho

[golden bear]

And it’s strongly preferred to have further maths

[merry sparrow]

:((

i will take math in as

[golden bear]

Or any essay subject

[merry sparrow]

wha

[golden bear]

You have to look

At the specific universities

But usually it’s

Physics and maths required

And further maths is strongly recommend

[merry sparrow]

[arctic plaza]

hey guys should i take world history next year

im in year 10 rn

IGCSE

or computer science?

[finite thorn]

depends what ur planning to do later on

[arctic plaza]

i wanna go to medicine

but im confused

engineering is another option

i take all sciences atm

[finite thorn]

if u want to do and enjoy smt related to history, then definitely world history
however I think it would be an advantage if u take cs, since the world is going more robotics than anything

[arctic plaza]

yea

i just like history , i dont want to go to a field in history

[finite thorn]

well if engineering then computer science seems like a better option, it's needed more than world history

[arctic plaza]

hm

ok

thanks

[finite thorn]

if u like history, u can always use online classes outside school, or youtube

[arctic plaza]

yh

[finite thorn]

it's all there on the internet now

[finite thorn]

np 🙂

[shadow tree]

For IG, you can very easily do both

[arctic plaza]

kk

[frosty sage]

after bio, chem and phy, what are some good future proof majors besides mbbs and dentistry?

[golden bear]

neuroscience

if that is

something you can do

[still charm]

I have interest in bio, physics and maths. Im really lost on what career psth i should pick

My goal is mainly neurologist but i have no interest in chemistry

Can someone please suggest me something. I am currently giving igcse 10 boards

Pls tag me and help me out. Ill really appreciate that

[arctic plaza]

i can relate so much with ya

im year 10 too and i have no interest in chem

and i want to do medicine

[golden bear]

Sometimes you need to do something you don’t like in order to get your dream job

Very few universities accept people for medicine without chemistry

[merry sparrow]

GUYS

hi

[high saddle]

Yeah @golden bear is right at the least do it for igcses but it'll be hard without doing it for A levels as well
maybe take psychology to help bolster your application but you kinda need chemistry

Im currently doing Chemistry Alevels and i really hate chemistry but I kinda need it so im trying my best because thats all i can do but really actually trying helps

also maybe try some place that isnt as conventionally popular for university such as netherlands as a few netherlands universities will give you study material you need to learn from and do an entrance exam so if you research maybe you can find something like that but dont count on that saving you especially because they might still have you learn chemistry in uni as part of your course

also idk abt physics but bio has a lot of stuff that makes SIGNIFICANTLY more sense when you also studied chem like its a huge help in a levels

[shadow tree]

There's is a fair amount of biochem in year 1 medicine

And biophysics

Or just proper mech type of stuff depending on the uni

[solar wadi]

also biostatistics so a background in math would be helpful

[arctic plaza]

oh ok tysm

[lost oxide]

Hey guys ... can someone tell me how is bachelors in comp science different from that of software engineering ? And for a guy like me who likes programming ... which one should I choose ?

[ancient blade]

Hey, im in my eleventh grade and just about to take my igcses in 10 subjects, but i want to become a lawyer (or something with politics), because the subjects i most enjoy are english and economics, but im not really sure about my carrer choice. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

[dusk yew]

hasanabi O.O

[old radish]

Anyone going into the Cs path and doing A levels?

What are good A levels for Csc?

3 A levels and some cool extracurriculars
Or just 4 A levels and not as much cool extracurriculars?😂

[old radish]

Phy, Math and Fmath or
Math, Fmath and Csc
For computer engineering?

[thin ivy]

Are you not raking english?

[muted matrix]

guys need suggestions

for As Subjects

[solar wadi]

what do you wanna do in the future

[thin ivy]

I would recommend you to take computer science related stuff on your own while keeping other things open ( if you are just looking into cs)
If you have decided then i think what you are doing is fine @old radish

[muted matrix]

into accounts but little undecided

[solar wadi]

Math, economics and maybe English

obv accounting if you can take it as a subject

[thin ivy]

I need some help related to scholarships

[golden bear]

scholarships for uni?

[old radish]

Not at A levels

[old radish]

Not totally sure about Csc. But I know I like Math and I can Physics incase to keep the Engineering Side open.

I find Economics cool but it’s only recently that I’ve looked into it. Didn’t take any business sub at IGCSE and too hesitant to dive into something that I haven’t done before mid year.

So I think Phy, Math and FMath then

[thin orbit]

Can somebody tell what a daily life looks like of a data scientist
Sitting and coding most of the time? like please guide me on this if anyone knows

[muted matrix]

Guys what to do after IGCSE

Whats more recommended to follow

[golden bear]

wht do u wanna do?

[worn ridge]

Is biomedical engineering a good career?

[sterile sedge]

Yoooo

Anyone doing physics or engineering here??

In the future is comp science more secure in terms of pay and job compared to engineering??

is CIE AS level harder than Edexcel AS level?

ive been told its much simpler to do edexcel, but my school does cie.

should i convince my teacher to let me do the edexcel paper?

i do maths stats bio chem and geog btw

[cinder compass]

Oh man CIE is definitely harder than edexcel

[golden bear]

edexcel's grade boundries are much much higher than CIE

[sterile sedge]

nah

[old radish]

Depends on where you wanna work. A mixture of both probably even better, I'd say if you can do a double major.

[frosty sage]

as long as there’s work, i wanna work

as long as it doesnt require a damn phd

[patent lance]

Anyone can give an opinion about biotechnology?

[grand night]

I personally think it sound like a pretty interesting career

especially since it is STEM, I would encourage it?

[snow creek]

fuiyooo biotech weyh

[patent lance]

https://tenor.com/view/uncle-roger-haiya-funny-gif-18052423

asking oni hhahaha

[snow creek]

If u r interested then just go for it xD

[slow widget]

do you need A-level chemistry to become a psychologist?

and what A-levels would be optimal in becoming a psychologist

[grand night]

better check the uni programs to get the idea. I did that. Otherwise I would be stuck with bio while architecture programs ask me to show them an A level with maths hysics and Chemistry

so basically, you need to check what unis require

then you get into a program., get a degree, and get a job

[little narwhal]

anyone know about BSc Social Development and Policy?

[gaunt quartz]

anyone know exactly what alevels you need for undergrad medicine? :)

[golden bear]

im p sure the university require the subjects but its usually chemistry

[gaunt quartz]

ik that you need chemistry but idk if i should take bio or physics

like one of those 2

like which one would look better on a application

[solar wadi]

Definitely bio @gaunt quartz

from what I’ve seen, most unis require Chemsitry AND Bio, and either maths/physics

plus bio is much more related to medicine I’m sure you’ll find it very interesting

[gaunt quartz]

ahh thank u - i love biology i just didn’t know which one was more applicable

[shadow tree]

i'd recommend physics over math, even though math is nicer

because one of my friends doing medicine in poland has a fair bit of physics in first year

bio physics and chem

[gaunt quartz]

ahh thanks for everyone’s help :)))

rly helped with my decision

[grand night]

Yeah I dont think he needs math for this

My school has the meducal group in A levels taje chem physucs and bio as obligatiry. Maths is for the engineering group

though this sort of thing can depend on the program, i doubt medical kuds need to learn nath in A level

[muted matrix]

Yo guys

Suggest AS subjects i must take for Engineering

[crimson willow]

PCM

[grand night]

Like I mention above

[grand night]

Physucs Chemuatry Maths

My school makes those compulsiry for engineering group in A level

[snow creek]

PCM is gold

[gaunt quartz]

rly thanks ( i’m a she tho lmao ) 😂

[grand night]

No problem

[patent lance]

hey everyone, do y'all think taking bio ONLY without chem in A levels work?

[gaunt quartz]

i’m pretty sure you can take just one science but it may depend on ur school :)

[marsh light]

i want to do biomedical science (not engineering) , and I didn't take physics at A levels, is it possible? cause it says pcm or pcb on most college websites :((

[golden bear]

Depends on what you do but I’m pretty sure that chemistry is more important than biology if you wanna do something medicine related

[wooden vine]

can some one suggest me subjects to become detective?

[gaunt quartz]

first you have to become a police officer so basically you need to have at least a high school diploma - and some would want a college degree

if you want to be a detective in america then you need

btw i adore your pfp yagami light :))

[shadow tree]

Unless you're going to Egypt no, because it's not only about the content, unis also want to know you can handle the workload

As far as I know that is

[patent lance]

Why Egypt?

[shadow tree]

Idk I have Egyptian friends and their requirement for medicine is just A* at bio a level and 7A* IGCSE

[wooden vine]

why thank you :3 i love death note

[gaunt quartz]

death note is the besttttt

i love the manga as well :)

[wooden vine]

ikrr!! i frikkin loved it to death

[wooden vine]

tbh i never read the manga but i loved the anime. my all time favorite anime, next to konosuba and attack on titan

[slow widget]

Hey

So um

I just want to do IT as my career

So what subjects should I take and focus on during A and AS

[gaunt quartz]

omg you should rly read the manga :) my favourites are death note and assassination classroom

[wooden vine]

holy..... you know assasination classroom too XDXD

[gaunt quartz]

in fairness i’m watch rn XD

but i loveeeee koro sensai

[snow creek]

7A* in igcse waaa

You thinking more of gym fitness that kind, or the recovery physiotherapy kind?

[slow widget]

Gyn fitness

[cinder compass]

Ooo then I don't think you need a full bio-related degree to do it?
(but I may be wrong, someone in the field pls correct me)

[slow widget]

Many ppl say medicine is just depressing

lol

[solar wadi]

those people were probably forced to go into it

medicine is very very hard but it’s also really interesting

[old radish]

So it’s better to look else where?

[somber marlin]

is comp sci the only thing that'll get u employed now adays?

[somber marlin]

aight

[marsh dagger]

i hear they need tons of doctors too

[marsh dagger]

Nope

yes the no of people doing CS is increasing rapidly

but the demand for talented CS people is increasing just as much if not more, especially with the pandemic massively increasing the extent of technology's use in our work and day to day lives

[shadow tree]

Yeah oops 8 sorry

For taking a course in mechanical engineering, do you think IB chemistry is helpful or will IB computer science do???

[slow widget]

ib computer science

[sullen moon]

Please @ me on this one. I really need some advice.

Okay so, I'm not exactly good at science (IGCSE Phy, Chem, Bio) or math. I was better before, but not anymore. I honestly don't feel like science is the right stream for me. But, I really adore Psychology (or do I? I really don't know) and I kinda want to learn more about the subject. I don't know, still trying to figure out if I want to spend the rest of my life studying this particular subject either. Due to current situations, I have to switch from IGCSE to CBSE after my board exams. I really don't think I can go for science stream. I was thinking if I can choose Arts & Humanities (since it also provides Psychology, from what I've seen) or Commerce (I'm kinda interesed in this because it deals with accounts and stuff. I don't have to learn the quadratic equation every single time I guess) after studying 11th and 12th. It seems more... idk, reasonable? What should I do? I don't know what to do 😭

[slow widget]

at the end of the day homie, youre gonna get a career in whatever you route you go with, so go with what you like doing more

cuz if u working a job you dont like doing or arent interested in

its a waste of time and all the effort u put in

[sullen moon]

I know, but I honestly don't even know which path to choose

[slow widget]

the one you want to do

[sullen moon]

hm...

[slow widget]

which u implied is pyschology

[sullen moon]

yeah

but im not even sure about that now, because of the chemistry and biology part

it just seems so hard

[slow widget]

fax g im facing the exact same struggle rn

[sullen moon]

and i dont know if im capable to get grades i want

[slow widget]

but i just gotta keep my head down and work hard

cuz ik physics and chem are hard asf

but in order for me to get the career i want i just gotta work hard and put that extra effort

[sullen moon]

what;s the career you want?

[slow widget]

if you really truly want something you gotta work for it

[slow widget]

geoscience

[sullen moon]

oooooh

[slow widget]

well not career but thats the uni course i wanna take

[sullen moon]

where do you live? if it's not too personal

[slow widget]

saudi arabia

[sullen moon]

because where i live, i didnt really get many options

neither was i taught about all this

[slow widget]

oh so u arent going abroad for uni?

[sullen moon]

i want to

[slow widget]

oh

when u sit ur igs?

[sullen moon]

im doing my igs here

im switching boards because the sciences are too hard in igcse

and the math, whew

[slow widget]

yeah thats kinda fax

wat are all subjects u take if u dm me askin

[sullen moon]

i'll dm ya

[slow widget]

ok

[sullen moon]

oh nvm

im taking

• bio
• chem
• phy
• business studies
• french
• english
• math

because the staff at my school are limited

[slow widget]

aight so what do u intend to take once u finish IGs

Cuz id suggest focusing on those

and whatever is less important just try get an A maybe a B

[sullen moon]

well, i had chem math and bio in mind because psych

yeah

[slow widget]

cuz like if u find sciences hard and u wanna do them youll need to focus ur time on them, meaning like straight As will be much harder to achiev

[sullen moon]

yeah..

[slow widget]

i know many people who just got straight As on the subjects they needed and aimed for Bs for the rest

[sullen moon]

but i can go for a different stream once i finish my school, if im correct?

[slow widget]

and they did well and shi

[sullen moon]

oooh

[slow widget]

yes if the subjects fit

[sullen moon]

so if i go for like

[slow widget]

and youve done well w subjects required

[sullen moon]

humanities or commerce

[slow widget]

like if u failed business u obv cant do accounting

etc

[sullen moon]

ah

im doing pretty well in bs

[slow widget]

then yeah u could go that stream for sure

[sullen moon]

but will bs be enough?

math?

and english?

goddamn i actually like cie but india's education system is trash

[slow widget]

For IG at least you need minimum c in English and maths to pass

[sullen moon]

ah

im good at english but idk about math

[slow widget]

C is achievable my guy

I believe in you

[sullen moon]

aww

idk man

the sp i took this time was h e l l

[gaunt quartz]

i believe in you too stae

[slow widget]

If u need help w some stuff dm me

I wouldn't mind helping you if I can find some time

[sullen moon]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

thank you so much, i'll keep that in mind 🥺

[slow widget]

(:

[sullen moon]

a c in math?

and dont you mean.. eC? (dont come after me please)

[smoky vine]

lol ikr but like at least ig is better than cbse and shit. those ppl legit end up memorising evrything like even math sums and english comprehension passages frm their txtbk

[inland scaffold]

It looks different tho cause the people I know in CBSE just score As and A*s

[frosty onyx]

Lol, yeah CBSE is weird. Their early stuff is wayy easy compared to CIE, but their later grade stuff ramps up in difficultly so fast...

And of course most of it is memorisation.

[inland scaffold]

You need to have a couple of hard drives for a brain for that board

[smoky vine]

fr tho 😂

[smoky vine]

true like the physics stuff wtaf

[frosty onyx]

Mmhmm

[thin kelp]

what are the recommended AS topics if I were to take the architect path in uni?

[hollow raptor]

I think DT

[thin kelp]

what else though

cuz im sure there are other qualifications needed

[alpine fern]

its usually math, one science and design and tech

or at least some sort of designing i dont think it needs to be design and tech

[alpine fern]

tho its not must its just recommended

in my opinion going with DT and math/physics should be enough

[zealous swift]

hey so im doing alevel further maths and im really struggling with m3, would it be possible for me to do D1 instead of m3?

this is for edexcel ial btw

[flat plinth]

hey guys, i just want to know could i survive a bachelor of science (computer science) with just having completed as (not a2)?

[marsh dagger]

you probably could

most bachelor CS courses assume you have no previous CS experience, so they start from scratch

A2 will make your life in first year easier, but its far from a necessity

[spiral brook]

anyone keen to give me some help

[flat plinth]

@marsh dagger thanks! also, will a2 subjects like math and computer science make it easier?

[marsh dagger]

Certainly, in fact decent grades in A2 math is a requirement for a lot of them

And A2 CS will make the first year much easier, at least here in the UK

[mystic dove]

i have a similar question but regarding medicine

will i survive med school with AS math?

[solar wadi]

Most probably but it all depends on the entry requirements of the uni since most of them require Bio, chem and either physics or math

[mystic dove]

i see i see, thank you

[patent tusk]

anyone pursuing a degree in finance?

[lavish scarab]

Will i survive a level of any language?

[potent violet]

FOr non science degrees

[marsh dagger]

Which countries are you looking at?

[coral cedar]

Mainly Canada and europe

But I still havent decided yet

[toxic atlas]

hello

[tender stump]

Hello, Im currently in AS doing Psychology Biology Maths and Economics, and Im thinking of pursuing a career in the psychology field. When i first was choosing the course i was thinking, oh well, i mean economics fits. But now i've realised its much more than that and i don't really like the course (tbh mostly bc of the teacher). Do you guys think I should just drop econ? Cause im thinking like, if IB students can handle 6 subjects how come I can't even handle 4

[coral cedar]

I do economics self study and I mainly rely on youtube so maybe you try learning the content by yourself and then decide later whether you want to drop economics or not.

So now am torn between the two

Advice plz?

[coral cedar]

Electrical engineering will get you a job for sure lol its a perfectly safe option

[cinder compass]

Be a neuroscientist who studies brain circuitry 😉

[wicked drift]

What kind of laptop does one need for engineering( if you don't know which one you might choose)?

What's the safest option(or recommended specs)?

Do you need one?

[slow widget]

you definitely need a laptop for Engineering

go for something which has quite a bit of memory, and usually the unis tell you which software's you need for the courses, so get a laptop which supports that

Like for example, I have a mac, and the software used in my course isnt supported on a mac

so make sure you research which specs you need for the course

[crimson willow]

Yes

^^^

Also don't waste money on Macs

[crimson willow]

I'd say:
8-16 GB of RAM
4 Gigs of VRAM
Any processor above 3.5 GHz

Make sure you have either a lot of HDD or a small SSD with a portable HDD

[wicked drift]

Is 1tb HDD good?( not an expert on this stuff sorry)

@crimson willow

[crimson willow]

Yeah that's fine I think

[wicked drift]

And I meant if you don't know what kind of engineering

what about 3 Ghz

[crimson willow]

That should be fine but mind you most good PCs that I've seen seem to cross 4

[wicked drift]

Wait PC isn't the same as a laptop,is it?

I'll just google it

Googled it

[potent violet]

PC is hardware box that you see in school

[wicked drift]

Apparently this kind of laptop is good or ok for engineering

[wicked drift]

Thanks

[wicked drift]

The other options are macs

Mixed reviews for the macs (for engi)

[slow widget]

when do you go to uni

[wicked drift]

Idk

Not sure

@slow widget I guess a year or 2?

[slow widget]

okay

[wicked drift]

@crimson willow @potent violet

Don't universities normally have places for computer use?

Buying a laptop is convenient but not too necessary right?
(So I dont get too stressed about whether or what to get)

[fleet carbon]

why is a laptop needed for university

[crimson willow]

They do but it's best to have one for yourself to work on things and that's also why you want have a portable one

[fleet carbon]

not everyone has the money for it

[crimson willow]

Essays, assignments, data analysis and more recently, class

[crimson willow]

Agreed but it's necessary at this day and age

[slow widget]

the same reasons you need a laptop now + many more :)

[fleet carbon]

isn't a desktop enough

[potent violet]

You said engineering right?
So basically you need to have a laptop on you for projects, programming stuff and keeping it is just so helpful for your work experience and cv

[wicked drift]

8GB
1TB HDD
3Ghz

Should I search for something with these specs or something or different?

[slow widget]

it comes down to personal preference. Many students like to take notes in lectures and classes. You cant take a desktop to class.

[crimson willow]

Portability

[slow widget]

this seems fine

[wicked drift]

^

[crimson willow]

Also, the cost really depends on the build

[potent violet]

It neednt be 8 GB , 4/6 works just fine

[wicked drift]

Hp Pavilion? Or something along those lines(windows stuff)
(Not literal windows)

[fleet carbon]

I am starting to feel ancient

I got this trash smartphone I have in my a levels with a lot of reluctance too

[crimson willow]

What? That is barely sufficient for matlab

[potent violet]

Fr?

[slow widget]

na bruv things can get very laggy very quickly if you run matlab

[crimson willow]

Exactly

[wicked drift]

^this?

[potent violet]

Oof

[crimson willow]

I mean yes and no

[potent violet]

I know thats a joke but its considerable option

[crimson willow]

It's okay for a starting point

But you'll need processing power

[wicked drift]

So what do u recommend

[crimson willow]

Predator?😂

[wicked drift]

But I dont need to worry about picking the wrong laptop and facing the consequences, do I?

Like not being able to do a certain assignment because the uni computers are bad

[wicked drift]

^

[crimson willow]

Yes

Just pick the right specs

[wicked drift]

@crimson willow @potent violet @slow widget @fleet carbon

[potent violet]

Btw

Anyone knows a good way for comparing 2 careers

[crimson willow]

Anytime mate

[crimson willow]

Really depends on your priorities

[gaunt quartz]

and what you enjoy

unless your desi

[potent violet]

About enjoyment its about the same for both

[gaunt quartz]

ahh

[potent violet]

For priorities, i value my personal time more than work time but the way as work goes one can be independent and the other is like working for a person i suppose

And id rather be independent

[gaunt quartz]

hmmm

[fleet carbon]

i didnt really do anything

[wicked drift]

@fleet carbon you asked a question that led to some more info, thanks!

[magic hill]

ok maybe im too young for this maybe im too old for this but my plan in the future is to continue my fathers business somewhere else and do better. business in car spare parts modifications and dealing. but idrk what course to pick or how to go along. i want to become skilled at business and really really educated on the topic of automotives and stuff. atm im living with the info that i have to pick physics mathematics and chemistry for next year (as level) and that i have to do automotive engineering? but i found out its for like people who work for designing or manufacturing of cars in factories and stuff. company work. but i only intend to work with companies and market until i have gained enough experience and confidence to initiate my own sales proudly like my dad. he worked for about 23 years before opening his very own shop which is very successful. he was able to make it all work because he worked under a company which sold spare parts for trucks and cars and stuff. he gained experience moved out and did his own thing. i see so many possibilities and improvements in what he does but for many reasons he really cannot branch out or improve much. i want to continue to do what he does but better bigger and at a different place. selling cars spare parts modifications and stuff. so if anyone can suggest or narrow down my paths please help me in this matter as i dream big but know less on the matters of my future. thanks in advance and have a lovely day everyone <3

[fleet carbon]

oh that's nice

[slow widget]

hola, what if have comp scinece, business, accounting and ecnomics in my A-levels, what exactly would i be in the future?

[coral cedar]

Um its pretty risky honestly I suggest you drop one of them and take math

math is required for all of the degrees related to the subjects you take

[gaunt quartz]

guys guess what

im going to go fail my maths exam

wish me luck !!!!

[potent violet]

Good luck!

[slow widget]

good luck mate

[coral cedar]

good luck!

[gaunt quartz]

oh wrong chat lmfao sorry

[visual robin]

Hi, can anyone tell me the difference between medical biotechnology and biomedical science? I can't really tell the difference between them after reading the overview of both

[wild lynx]

Are A Levels Worth it?

[slow widget]

i suck at maths...rlly badly

[coral cedar]

Then idk what you can do with those subjects maybe some universities might accept you for business related programs without math

[slow widget]

did you actually fail

[gaunt quartz]

pretty sure i did haha

[slow widget]

wtf

sad

[patent lance]

heyy i have got a question

what do yall think of this a levels combination: maths econs chem

[coral cedar]

Its a good combination ig

If you can handle 4 A levels maybe take physics as well thats what im doing

[slow widget]

yea try taking physics as well it may open up many more pathways

[patent lance]

what if i replace chem with bio hahahha

btw thanks a lot for replyingg 🙏 🙏

[coral cedar]

I think replacing it with physics would be better if you dont want to take 4 A levels

Math physics and economics is a good combination

[patent lance]

I see, thanks againn!

[slow widget]

yo guys

[coral cedar]

Are there any A level students here who are preparing for IIT JEE or wrote the exam? If so, do you have any tips on how I should start preparing?

[fresh hornet]

Have you had any form of JEE prep before

[coral cedar]

Nope

I planning on starting after my AS exams

[fresh hornet]

Coz from what I hear from my friends who are doing JEE and A levels, you need to have at least 2 years of prep

[coral cedar]

Oh

Im planning on starting prep right after my AS exams

Is it possible to study over the summer and write the exam next year?

[fresh hornet]

See the thing is that even if you grasp the concepts quickly, the main problem is the sheer amount of portion

[coral cedar]

Oh

[fresh hornet]

And doing that along with A2 which is also pretty vast, will get very tiring very fast

[coral cedar]

but im not planning on writing JEE advanced

just JEE mains

[fresh hornet]

Oh then It might work

I was under the impression that you might be giving advanced as well

[coral cedar]

Nope

Im aiming for one of the NITs

Preferably the one in my state so I count under the home state quota

Is the JEE mains syllabus manageable for A level students?

Im also planning on doing BITSAT do you know how hard that is compared to JEE mains?

[fresh hornet]

As long as you're able to manage both in tandem while being able to understand the concepts at a good pace, I think a year is workable

[coral cedar]

Oh okay

[fresh hornet]

I'm not sure about BITSAT

[coral cedar]

Oh okay

And is it possible to do it before my board exams in case my board exams are in may june?

My school might be conducting it in May june because of covid

[fresh hornet]

When are you giving A2?

[coral cedar]

Next May

or march my school hasnt confirmed

[fresh hornet]

I don't think covid will affect next year's exams

At least I hope not

[coral cedar]

Because of covid we couldnt do the March exams this year coz we couldnt finish the syllabus

if we manage to finish the syllabus early next year then I might do it in march

When is JEE mains held usually do you know?

Ik that this year they introduced multiple slots

Will that be there next year as well?

[fresh hornet]

I think they'll only announce that next year

[coral cedar]

Oh

[fresh hornet]

I only know that this year it's being held 4 times

[coral cedar]

Yeah ik that

I hope they continue that next year as well

[fresh hornet]

Yeah that'll be pretty neat

[coral cedar]

I heard somewhere that they introduced this to prevent students from taking a drop year or something

I dont get the ranking system though do you know like how much you have to get on the exam to get a specific rank like say under 5000?

[small turtle]

im doing A level and NEET together

[coral cedar]

oh

[small turtle]

taking a gap year was an ideal option for me

[coral cedar]

Oh okay when did you start preparing?

[small turtle]

after AS

[coral cedar]

Ohh

[small turtle]

so beginning of A2

[coral cedar]

Im currently in AS

[small turtle]

ah ok

[coral cedar]

but im planning on starting during the summer

like right after my AS exams get over

[small turtle]

yea ok

when are u planning to give JEE

[coral cedar]

NExt year prolly but idk

I dont want to take a gap year

but im only doing mains

[small turtle]

hmm k

[small turtle]

why not?

[coral cedar]

Im just keeping indian universities as sort of backup lol coz of covid

[small turtle]

ohh kk

i see

im planning to study in india itself so

[coral cedar]

Yeah

id rather go to some university abroad than take a gap year

theres many cheap places

[fresh hornet]

Any examples

[coral cedar]

THeres many universities in europe which teach in english

and they're pretty affordable

[fresh hornet]

Oh ok

Coz rn I'm only planning Australia

[coral cedar]

University of melbourne has this scholarship I think it can go up to 100%

you need like all A*s

Also just a clarification, Indian universities require 4 A levels + AS english right?

[small turtle]

yep

5 subjects

on one marksheet

[coral cedar]

All in one exam series?

Oh okay

[small turtle]

yep

[coral cedar]

I currently do 6 AS levels with english.

And im continuing Math physics chemistry

[small turtle]

damn 6 AS levels

[coral cedar]

But Im planning on dropping one subject out of IT and economics.

which one do you think I should drop

im self studying economics btw

[small turtle]

ah ok

i took 5

in AS

and 4 in A2

[coral cedar]

yeah 5 is common

I just took eco extra coz Im planning on applying to US universities as well and they want "well rounded" subjects

Im most likely dropping IT

[small turtle]

i see

anyway good luck mate

[coral cedar]

SO will A2 Math physics chemistry economics be fine for indian universities?

[fresh hornet]

Yup

[small turtle]

ye

[coral cedar]

or do they have a specific requirement for the 4th subject?

[small turtle]

no no

[coral cedar]

oh okay

[small turtle]

unless u are doing NEET

u need bio

[coral cedar]

Yup

[small turtle]

but ur doing JEE

so
