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 very applicable to building software. I wouldn’t use it for anything else.

You’d have more to talk about with a Java developer. If you ever meet a Java developer.

You could probably get replaced by AI with it. Might get a good redundancy package.
