Iโm at a crossroads, and I honestly canโt decide what to do. Truly, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Background: I live in Texas and decided on software engineering at the last minute as my major because I took AP Computer Science Principles, did very well, and enjoyed it immensely. Plus, itโs a growing, high-paying career that my Asian mother approves of. However, the fact stands that I donโt have much experience in it, and despite liking what I did in APCSP, I donโt know if Iโd change my mind as the concepts get harder.
I applied to several schools and eventually nailed it down to these three choices:
University of Houston:
Pros: My older brother is currently a freshman in the honors college. I was accepted for the computer science major in the honors college, and I received the Academic Excellence scholarship for $6k annually. I also recently attended the interview for the Tier One Scholarship, which, if received, covers full tuition as well as 2 years free room and board along with other benefits including money towards studying abroad (which Iโve wanted to do for years). Iโd say I have a 25% chance of receiving it, given how many people applied and how many usually get it per year.
Cons: UH generally isnโt as well known as the other universities, and Iโm honestly not the biggest fan of the campus or dorms. Also, itโs a commuter school, and an active school community is very important to me. Thereโs nothing wrong with UH, but deep down, itโs not one of my dream schools and I feel like Iโd just be going for the money.
Texas A&M:
Pros: I was accepted for the general engineering major, and I havenโt applied to the honors college yet. I absolutely love the look of the campus and dorms. Also, I love its famed school spirit- Iโve always been a fan of supportive school communities and clubs. Socially, I think the school is a great fit. Iโve also heard great things about its job network.
Cons: Iโve heard about ETAM and how annoying that is to deal with. Iโve also heard things about the students being largely conservative and christian, which puts me a bit at edge because Iโm an atheist and active member of the LGBTQ+ community. I also might not get a scholarship there. Iโve also heard that UT Austin is better for job recruitment in the tech field, as Silicon Valley directly hires from there. Itโs also not as high ranking as UT Austin.
UT Austin:
Pros: I was autoed then accepted for my second choice major, Informatics BSI.

I'm in my first year of it. I got pulled in due to really feeling the vibe of the department and enjoying it's approach to technology and solving problems. I feel like a lot of the course work is really easy. On one hand, it makes me happy as it gives time for learning skills outside the class room, but I also wonder if I will have all of the skills I need to do well in the work place.
I feel like I will have a strong design background and customer experience understanding, but I wonder if I will have the skills for a product manager role as many graduate to work in those roles.
What do you guys think about this / other BSI program aspects?
Hi guys,
this is the 4th DD installment for OriginTrail. I've been trying to inform all of you regarding OriginTrail but hardly anyone wants to look. Well, now that the token is getting T1 listings, Coinbase & Coinbase Pro specifically, FINALLY, it may be about time you start looking.
Again, my previous DDs can be found here;
OriginTrail DD Part 1
OriginTrail DD Part 2
OriginTrail DD Part 3.
This part is simply a continuation from there. Part 1 and Part 2 are long, while Part 3 and Part 4 contain the latest updates and news regarding the OriginTrail ecosystem. If you have no clue as to what OT is, then reading Part 1 and Part 2 are basically essential, as none of the technical stuff is discussed in Part 3 and Part 4!
I'll just hit it off with the Coinbase announcement as OriginTrail is finally getting its first T1 listing:
Coinbase Listing!
- Coinbase announces OriginTrail one of 4 tokens to start trading on Coinbase and Coinbase Pro on October 28th! This is pretty big for OriginTrail as the token has been stuck with Kucoin as the only serious exchange since the ICO in early 2018. If you read my previous DDs you'll know that this isn't some coincidence and is going according to plan for what OriginTrail is bringing to the table in the grand scheme of crypto space!
- CoinbasePro tweet
British Standard Institute, BSI & Pharmaceutical industry
- If you've read my previous DD series then you're already familiar with BSI. BSI is exclusively partnered with OT for 3 years now and by far constitutes the strongest partnership between the two. Without exaggerating. Assuming you've read my entire DD series you'll understand why.
- BSI released a paper called "Building resilience[ and trust into the distribution of pharmaceuticals and vaccines](https://www.bsigroup.com/globalassets/localfiles/en-gb/healthcare/vaccine-best-practice/bsi-ngo-pharma-di
Salut. Am cateva intrebari legate de serviciile Postei Romane, si nu am pe cine sa intreb pentru ca nimeni nu cunoaste.
Am comandat pe 3 noiembrie din SUA un cadou de Craciun, in 9 zile a ajuns in tara, iar de pe 12 noiembrie sta la BSI Bucuresti "in prelucrare", deci de mai mult de o luna.
Mai am un alt colet comandat tot in perioada aia din Hong Kong (o cutie cu dulciuri japoneze) care pe 15 decembrie (acum 4 zile) a ajuns in tara la Bucuresti si de atunci este "in prelucrare".
Din ce am inteles nu exista nicio sansa sa primesc vreunul din colete curand prin posta. Exista o alta varianta? Pot sa merg eu la BSI Bucuresti sa le ridic, fara sa astept sa mi le aduca posta peste o luna-2? Ar trebui sa sun la BSI/Posta Romana? Sa fac o reclamatie online?
Nota: Am doar 17 ani si nu prea stiu cum functioneaza lucrurile, nici nu sunt din Bucuresti. Am nevoie de putin ajutor. Multumesc anticipat.
EDIT: Multumesc tuturor pt raspunsuri, am incercat sa sun si nu a raspuns nimeni. Dar am primit chiar azi dimineata un apel de la postarita cum ca a venit un colet in valoare de 9 lei (probabil taxa vamala si alte taxe?) pe numele meu la oficiu si sa ma duc sa-l ridic. Nu m-as fi asteptat in veci, parca mi-ar fi citit postarea pe reddit.
Felix:ย So. Who broke it? I'm not mad, I just wanna know.
Rosemary: ...I did. I broke it.
Felix:ย No. No you didn't. Susan?
Susan:ย Don't look at me. Look at Charles.
Charles:ย What?! I didn't break it.
Susan: Huh, that's weird. How'd you even know it was broken?
Charles: Because it's sitting right in front of us and it's broken.
Susan: Suspicious.
Charles: No it's not!
Brian: If it matters - probably not, but - Ashley was the last one to use it.
Ashley: Liar! I don't even drink that crap!
Brian: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?
Ashley: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles. Everyone knows that, Brian!
Rosemary: Okay, let's not fight. I broke it. Let me pay for it, Felix.
Felix:ย No! Who broke it!?
Charles: Felix... Jack's been awfully quiet.
Jack: Really.
[Cut to Felix sitting alone in his office, with his voice recorder. In the background, the rest of the gang are audibly yelling and fighting.]
Felix: ...I broke it. I burned my hand, so I punched it.
Exclusive partnership with BSI started in 2019. We've since deployed OriginTrail in key global industries enhancing trust, transparency & inspiring the world. Stay tuned on how it continues as billions of assets go from physical to digital.

I'm really interested in seeing how everybody is doing here. I'd love to hear from anybody who is or was in the BSI program on the IA track.
Are you currently looking for a job, internship or neither? What types of roles are you looking for? How many applications have you submitted so far? How many interviews have you had? Has the Career Development Office been helpful in your search? What resources or strategies have helped you the least/most?
The Supplier Compliance Audit Network (SCAN) is an association of importers that was formed to eliminate foreign factory audit fatigue associated with Supply Chain Security importing criteria within the US Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism program (CTPAT). SCAN importing members have combined annual sales of USD 1.25 trillion and source from factories around the world. Today, SCAN has more than 18,000 factories in its database, with several hundred new audits conducted monthly. All of the audits are secured utilizing the OriginTrail Decentralized Network and comply with SCANโs rigorous data privacy requirements. With flexible data permissions, the solution enables SCAN to share data with government agencies such as CTPAT.
BSI, the worldโs leading business standards organization, issues certifications for professional training and supplies key global standards for small and large businesses across several industries. Striving for the highest level of integrity when it comes to their services, BSI is raising the bar by protecting their training certificates and issued business standards against counterfeiting and foul use. OriginTrail-based applications developed for BSI enable quick validity checks for any document by cross-referencing trusted data. This data is stored on the OriginTrail Decentralized Network, which is connected to the Ethereum blockchain."
I Keep adding here one of the most hidden gem projects in all of crypto. Main stream adoption and mass use case utility is happening now with some much exponential growth on the way. The catalysts and the hammers the project is going to drop is mind numbing. Be patient and add at the same time Trac can move on a dime I'm looking for new ATH end of 2021 early 2022
Partnerships with SCAN & BSI & Oracle is next level remember be patient I have added a stash each day over the last week. And will keep buying more. This project is way undervalued.

Has any work at BSIS. Wanted to know what type of investigation they do and if it is field based or more desk work. Also do the have alternative work schedules or telework opportunities. In insight would be appreciated.
Details about use of blockchain in a supply chain application for the pharmaceutical industry. The implementation tracks donations of Hemophila medication to a low-income country. This is a presentation given by BSI America (British Standards Institution) and the World Federation for Hemophilia.

It's a bit long (42 minutes), but worth listening to if you're into this field.
Seriously BSIS these trainings are useless please either make them useful or stop making them a requirement. The trainings are borderline insulting to the intelligence of the people that take them. I can skip all the reading material and just take the test and pass with 100 percent my 8 hour training takes me about 15 minutes to complete. What a frickin joke.
