I need insight about my current internship.
Hey guys, I currently have an unpaid graphic/web design internship with a small local print/marketing shop. My problem is the owner, Jim, says he doesn't like the amount of web banner revisions I had to make (about 3-4) for his new website. This isn't anything new to me because this sort of communication error happens from my previous internships as well.
Jim stated that wasted his time and doesn't want to micromanage me, but he's willing to give me a second chance. This absolutely pissed me off because the purpose of the unpaid internship is for me to improve as a designer and letting me go does not solve that. It is also worth noting that was my first design project from him.
Another problem is he doesn't think I'm not doing a good job on fixing small problems on his site via liquid.css because it's hosted on Shopify. This is personally my fault because I told him I can do it but, Jim must have interpreted as I can do it well.
It's weird this was all of a sudden these are problems for him because we got a long well and even considered him a friend. There might be a hidden 'stress factor' in this considering he has a 1 yr old child and his business is only 3 years old.
So my question how should I should have handled his problems? I pretty much conceded the entire time because I feel disappointed in myself for not communicating well. Which also brings me to my next question how can I communicate better based on the given information?
I have 2 more quarters to go, and I'm sure engineering isn't for me. Please give advice.
I realize this may not be the right subreddit for this topic. If that's the case I'd be happy to remove the post (please give alternatives subreddits!).
I'm one of those students who picked engineering for the money. I know that's not the ideal reason to pick engineering, but at the time I was sure it was the right decision. Now, I'm not sure what to think anymore.
I'm studying electrical engineering at a decent state university. I have 3.3 GPA and am currently working as an intern at a local full-stack startup. I've actually worked there for half a year now..
My problem is, programming is the only field in engineering that remotely interests me, and I kinda suck at it. It takes so much effort for me to simply maintain the basic coding (data structures, more specifically) skills, and I'm seriously scared that I'll have to sacrifice my hobbies, interests, and relationships so I could call myself a software engineer. I can't imagine passing technical interviews for any respectable company in my current shape and form. I like to dream of developing computer games and web apps, but in reality I always feel too burned out to do anything, like I'm going against a rapid current.
I've always liked philosophy and history, and now I'm even thinking about just going to grad school for history and becoming a teacher. I know that's not the most efficient outcome of my undergrad years, but I seriously feel depressed and burned out all the time right now. I've thought about PM and UX design positions, but I don't think I'd be a good fit to be a PM (not much of a leader figure, usually quiet) and there are more UX designers with tons of experience than there are open UX positions.
If you have any advice I'd really appreciate it. If you don't thanks for reading this far.
Am I over romanticising of my future in the field of Computer Science/Programming?
So I've decided on a degree of Compsci, and hopefully will be starting next year.
The thing that stood out of CompSci was the staggering number of options one could go into, from my POV (ones appealing to me): - Game Development (Indies) - Web Dev/Design (websites, web apps etc) - Data managing/collecting (a fusion of this and web dev would be sick) - Software (solutions, new products etc) - Machine learning/AI
I know CompSci degrees don't necessarily teach all these, but I plan to self study whilst in uni/college.
Thing is, during my 3 year run is this a bit too much? I have intense interest right now, simply can't wait, but stuck until graduation.
70-100hr work weeks is what I'm planning, I'd be learning web design/dev first so I can work freelance to pay off college/uni fees.
Am I romanticist about this way too much?
After graduation I want to work for a possibly industry changing (slightly) company (IBM's watson) or possibly launch my own startup (after I validate some of my ideas).

Looking for group to learn programming - Michigan
This might be a long shot, this might be the wrong reddit, but it's something I've thought about, off and on for quite sometime, and I can't find any other place to post it.
I'm looking to start/join a group that wants to learn to program together in person offline, around the southwest corner of Michigan. Offline face to face, I know that seems to some like I'm asking the wrong group of people, but I'm in fact very reclusive. In fact my wife is in shock that I'm actaully reaching out with this post. I'm a somewhat intermediate programmer, some java, python, C, C++, web design, mysql and ruby. But it's boring and lonely coding and learning solo. Coding in a group seems like it would be a great experiance to teach and learn from each other, and perhaps grow into more than just a bunch of people who want to learn, into a group of real programmers, who knows?
If you live in the northwestern Indiana or southwestern Michigan area of the US, and want to join up and make a programming group to learn and teach. Or if you're part of a group in that area and don't mind if I hang out, let me know.
