I fucking hate ppl who transferred from business program into the CS program. They are all talk and no action. Literally this girl who claim to be “good at algorithm” doesn’t even know how to write a quick sort. In the past 2 months I have received more request from business program students to “help debug program” than all of the other departments (science, engineering) combined. Worse, some just straight ask for my code so they can copy off my implementation.

Seriously, it’s okay if you don’t know how to do stuff. But it’s not okay if you don’t want to learn AND feel so fucking entitled. I have a lot of homework as well, it’s not my responsibility to **help** you.

Let them fail hard - or else, they might end up becoming your co-"workers" so that you would have to do your job AND theirs while only getting YOUR salary.

@M1sf3t From my experience, business majors are the most entitled. Engineering majors who transferred to CS are generally very humble.

@Fast-Nop or become our co-workers

@codeobfuscator Cause Engineers have been beat down my their programs. I don't think there is a single engineer that found all their classes easy.
Cause for some reason to build a website I need to know Chem, Biology, Physics, Calc, Stats, Linear Algebra.
This applies to other engineer majors as well.
Nobody has the inherit skills in all of these fields...
Except for that 10 year old with a degree already @_@

@M1sf3t Mobility is OK though, got me an e-scooter.

Business students are going to have some big advantages over CS purists because a lot of the heavy lifting for engineering in industry is done in a library. So business students have a second skillet and graduate with mediocre development skill. CS likely graduate with one skillset and slightly above mediocre development. You have more engineer potential than them but they can whoop you in the workplace with their soft skills. Persuasive skills and communication with the business will be the bane of your existence. See also Dilbert. They know how to positive self-talk and how to carve out a valuable niche.

Nobody is going to ask you to write quick sort after you graduate. Learn as much as you can from them.

@irene I have great respect for soft skill, that’s not the point. I’m just disappointed at some people’s unwillingness to learn and their sense of entitlement. I don’t want to post the entire chat history but I think just because you are having trouble with coding doesn’t mean its appropriate for me to give you the code so that you can copy my implementation. I am willing to explain my ideas and help you, but that doesn’t give you the excuse for not thinking and working hard yourself.

@M1sf3t Sorry for being unclear. I’m sure there are plenty of good business school folks out there, it’s just that in my university business student take an easier version of calculus, and (from what I’ve seen so far) the reason some of them transferred into CS is because of the potential of high salary, not because their passion in the field. Their lack of enthusiasm made me shake my head. Again, I’m specifically talking about *that* subset of people.
