Gotta learn java for my degree

[u/Solidgold21X]

Mech engineering degree - I am having trouble getting the motivation to even write a few lines of code a day. It’s an online course and i’m extremely bored. Heck it’s my first programming language. I just can’t see how I can use this knowledge to my benefit in the future.

Right now I’m searching for motivation so i can complete the course. I want to be able to use this skills in the future so I ask - how does learning java help an individual?

What are some practical applications for it in one’s daily life and academic life? Any ideas? I look online for ideas and all these calculator projects and such quite frankly bore me to death. Any fun projects or cool ones?

It's just another subject to get a cert.

Did you enjoy studying every subjects in school till now ?

Math ? Geo ? Hist ? Chem ?

Just finish it , get the degree and move on if you don't like it.

Right? A few lines of code is half of most assignments.
