cyh23r5 | 6 | t3_3yuws5 | t3_3yuws5 | UWThrowAway117 | Honestly? Just to get a CS job for the summer term. I'm running pretty low on cash and my parents won't be able to support me as much as they have before in the fall due to some complications. OSAP helps but since I'm declaring CS as my major as of next week, my tuition will be jacked up for the coming fall term. That means I *need* to get an internship for the summer term, and I'm not in co-op.
I failed to get one for the summer after my 1B term (didn't help that I had to retake CS 135 in 1B). I got an 84 in CS 136 this past term in 2A and will be doing CS 246 & 245 in my 2B term starting next week. So I've started hunting for summer internships on [indeed](http://ca.indeed.com/jobs-in-Waterloo,-ON), [waterloo tech jobs](https://www.waterlootechjobs.com/), and using the [waterloo co-op job stats](http://vlyubin.pythonanywhere.com/companies) page to look for more places to apply to. Even if its just QA, I'm open to anything if it pays the bills.
If anyone has any suggestions on other places to look for internships I'd appreciate the heads up. I've also got a friend that is letting me borrow his jobmine account just to help find more places to apply to, although I'm unsure if thats a good idea because I don't know how many of them will be considering outside of co-op applicants.
Heres hoping I get it together in 2016! | 2015-12-31T01:18:05 | null | false | false | 82,505 |

Anyways, if you look at the 3rd and 4th reference on the [Wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Four), the articles clearly say why they don't consider Microsoft one of the "Big 4"—reasons including being a leader (along with IBM) of a previous era, because it dominates in the enterprise world, and consumers don't have the same deep engagement as a product that the other companies provide. Whether people agree with that is another story..
Personally, I've always heard Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft/Apple among most CS people, but Apple will get thrown in if you're in ECE (as opposed to Facebook). | 2015-12-31T03:02:55 | mápó tofu | false | false | 82,527 |

cyh3x0x | 2 | t3_3yuws5 | t3_3yuws5 | boosey-hawkes | Figure out which major/career I want to do. Had my hopes set on Computer Science, but I don't think I would like a career in it from what I understand of it.
When I was applying to university, I was originally headed for English or Music. I'm really lost =p and I admire my peers who have such focus and purpose in their first year.
I am shooting for a career in Psychology, which means I'm going to be headed for a post-grad degree most likely. Tuition is also a ton cheaper, which always helps.
Strangely, I am glad that I'm able to switch majors to a field I have relatively little exposure to. I think I am better off being unsure of my career choice than if I was completely set on Computer Science. Fortunately, my parents are able to help with tuition, else I would've been in big trouble.
I just hope that my interest in Psychology isn't superficial.
Also, 68.5 is a terrible term average, even if it's in a field I dislike. Granted, I dropped a bird course, but I'd like to do better.
Lastly, I'd like to live to next year. Same goal as last year, and I always question whether if it will indeed get better.

Just do a silly one that's loosely based on a fairy tale and it's much easier because you already know how it goes AND so does the audience, which means they don't have to struggle to follow it as much. You can even look up the stories in Japanese and use those as a guideline for vocabulary you might not know yet. (But don't just copy the story and then embellish in-between... rewrite it in your own words in Japanese so you know everything you're saying.)

cyhd8qj | 2 | t3_3ywgds | t3_3ywgds | kgju | I recommend getting an Arduino, which won't teach you proper embedded, but will get you close.
Once you know what things are like at the low level, you can write C code and compile it using the AVR compiler without the Arduino wrapper.
You probably don't need to join a team. There is a lot of great material online.
If you insist on joining a team though, look into the various engineering teams that make cars, and look into WARG. They expect you to know something though. Won't teach you the basics | 2015-12-31T11:02:35 | "$YEAR$TERM" CS | false | false | 82,567 |

cyhdv6d | 2 | t3_3yvcpx | t3_3yvcpx | Low-monthly-payments | Yes as an arts major you can apply to CS jobs. I got several cs/eng job offers and my co-op for this term is an eng job. All employers care about is side projects and technical knowledge.
Having said that, don't switch into arts just for co-op, you can find internships while still being in cs. Don't switch into a subject you have no passion for, because chances are you'll end up hating your life and possibly not getting a co-op or a degree. | 2015-12-31T11:21:37 | 2A Economics | false | false | 82,568 |

cyhcggo | 1 | t3_3ywgds | t3_3ywgds | HueTopUW | Instead of joining a team I would recommend buying a DK for yourself and just trying to make stuff by following tutorials and examples online. Raspi and Arduino are popular, easy to pick up and have very active communities. At first you will be doing no more than copying what other people have done, and that's fine for learning. Once comfortable you can start trying to make your own original projects.
Teams are nice and all but the best way to learn anything is to go at it yourself IMO. Plus there's always a chance that due to your lack of experience, teams might not want you on some of the more critical embedded systems work. But that's just my 2 cents | 2015-12-31T10:37:14 | null | false | false | 82,571 |

cyheb47 | 1 | t3_3yue9l | t1_cyh69tc | coruscatingpotlid | I don't know what they count. they probably look at all your marks because of how competitive it is now. I don't really know how the act works since I only took sat and honestly I don't know how much Waterloo cares. but since you only have 4 letter grades, they will probably depend on your score, so I would bump it up as high as you can.

cyhehom | 1 | t3_3ywgds | t3_3ywgds | wanTron_Soup | In terms of teams, definitely check out the robotics team. They have a lot of projects on the go that each have their own embedded systems. I can't promise you'll be taking ownership of large pieces of the system off the bat, but I'm sure they could help show you the stuff you would need to learn.
I never actually worked with the robotics team, but they always seemed pretty cool. | 2015-12-31T11:40:01 | Tron '15 | false | false | 82,574 |

cyhbepf | 1 | t3_3ywda8 | t1_cyh7e6y | uwaterlooretard | Thank you for your reply.
If I may ask you one last thing, I will technically still be in 1B because I took a reduced course load this semester. Do you think that means that I will be able to enroll in more than three courses and give me another semester to fulfill the communication requirement?
I will make sure to go talk to an advisor to double check this, but if you could share your intuition on this that would be great!

cyhfub9 | 3 | t3_3yvcpx | t1_cygyt1r | pondering_stuff5 | I've never actually heard that you could be kicked out of co-op for applying to jobs targeted to other faculties, I don't think that's true. I also don't think they care. Especially when you've got like 2 jobs that have been filed under your major, but were cross-listed with jobs from other majors.
I think if anything, they'd be upset with people in engineering or math faculties applying to Arts jobs (because there's less of them) but not so much with Arts students applying to engineering or math jobs. Not many students would do this anyways to start with, unless the job is already cross listed in another faculty (which happpen's semi-frequently). Either way, I don't see CECA kicking any student out of the co-op program for getting un-related experience ever, at most they might say something to you about changing it, but that's it.
Edit: Just also wanted to say that while I think you *could* apply to CS job's via Arts, I think other's are right here in saying to just do internships and arrange employment on your own. Transferring just to get access to jobmine isn't worth it in the long run. | 2015-12-31T12:17:52 | 4B arts | false | false | 82,592 |
