Did I choose the right college major biz?

[Anonymous No.50763309]

>>50763300
probably not

hard as fuck major with no real application for jobs

>>50763300
Well doubledubbs man, if you were an engineer you would actually get hired.

>hard as fuck major
This I completely agree. This fucking major is intellectually back breaking.

There is a running joke in physics. Basically, we come up with the equations so the engineers basically get our sloppy seconds, but the engineers don't care because they are too busy making money.

FML

Sure. Just make sure you gather some experience in adjacent practical skills like programming, data analysis or similar. A reasonable looking degree in physics is basically just a certificate of having a high IQ and non-pozzed employees will value this highly.

Just don’t pick anything that contains the word studies. Ngmi.

[Anonymous No.50763456]

>>50763366
No, you create equations for some toolsets that let engineers do their job.

[Anonymous No.50763488]

>>50763366
Thank you for your service.

>>50763456
Found the marketing degree.

[Anonymous No.50763522]

>>50763456
The toolset is wrong even though the equations are right though

Why?

[Anonymous No.50763605]

>>50763456
We literally create new science knowledge and discover deeper fundamentals about how the universe works from the smallest to the largest scales.

But we get paid shit.

Boomers have turned college into a scam.

[Anonymous No.50763620]

>>50763300
yes

>>50763366
Engineer here, we very rarely use any equations. And when we do, it's usually in the form of Excel spreadsheets. We aren't even getting physicists' sloppy seconds, they're just so distant from what we do that we never even think about them.

[Anonymous No.50763665]

>>50763300
For making money? Probably not. But it is a pretty based major if you're just going to college to "figure yourself out". You'll find that the analytical and critical thinking methods they teach you will seperate you from the rest of the pack wherever your career takes you. You may not graduate as a physicist, but you will graduate as a problem solver.

lol if by create you mean make up then I agree

Lean hard into stats and coding (R, python, Fortran). Phys and math majors are the real workers behind AI/ML. CS majors and software engineers are useless when it comes even to basic stats. I lost count of how many AI/ML with math/phys degree I’ve met and they are usually the ones who know what they are doing.

The universe does not care if you believe in it.

[Anonymous No.50763967]

>>50763871
They don't even have the order that shit happened correct.

First, newton. Then they figured out that galaxies rotate so fast they fly apart so they invented dark matter as an explanation for the galaxies not flying apart. They then noticed that everything in the universe is flying apart at increasing speed so they invented dark energy.

Nah, change now that you can into economic and finances, you will make it for sure that way. If you want to skip that just go straight into investing in vinu

[Anonymous No.50764055]

extremly fun if you are into it or are ambition to be good at. If you graduate you can truly be proud of yourself

lmfao! oh how naive you are! and you're behind on the science kiddo.

The physical, material world is exhaustively defined by an enumeration of measurable quantitative properties (mass, charge, spin, position, velocity, etc). Experiments have shown that the physical world is contextual: its measurable physical properties do not exist before being observed. In other words, consciousness is the property that instantiates all the properties of matter. Without consciousness there is no color, no temporality, and no matter. Therefore, it does not make sense to speak about an "objective" world outside of sensory perceptions.

sorry OP, shoulda went compsci

Fellow engineer here, and the equations we do use are very specific to our industry. I'm a mech engineer in HVAC, and I'm starting to forget the kinematic, dynamic, structural analysis, material science, etc. stuff since it's purely thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer. Not once have I even thought about the physicists who conceived the equations I've forgotten lmao.

Love me spreadsheets tho

You'll work your arse off for good grades if you want a good job out of it and then you'll be making as much as the girls that """studied""" human resources. Only do it if you have a passion for the subject

[Anonymous No.50764531]

>dark matter

>>50764321
HVAC is a pretty cool field anon, I had a colleague explain psychrometric charts to me once and I loved it.
I'm a systems engineer personally, so much less specialised and more about writing requirements and planning verification and stuff. In my field especially you need to be able to understand the topics and teach them to non-engineers, but it's pretty rare that I get a chance to do anything really technical myself.
