There are plenty of STEM graduates who are autistic fuckups doing glorified data entry jobs. I know because the company I work for employs some of them.

A smart person can do well with just about any kind of degree from a good enough school.

What's the best ink color? I really like blue-blacks, they're not a weird color so it's acceptable to use it on pretty much anything but they look classier than just a plain blue or black.

I'm working through a bottle of Noodlers 54th Massachusetts and it's a really nice dark color, but the ink has a weird paint smell and it seems to dry out and get kind of crusty on the nib. I tried a sample of pic related and it's also really nice looking, but I'm trying to finish the bottle I have before I get a full bottle of another one.

Do you want a washable or a waterproof ink? 54th Mass. is waterproof and iroshizuku inks arent.

Pilot Blue-black is waterproof iirc but you have to get it imported from japan

I'm not stupid. I don't like the jansport and would rather use the backpack I already have over it. Condemn me for not buying something that I don't want to buy, will you?
It's not literally a jansport without the logo. There are proportional differences, and the texture isn't the same, and other things too. God you're fucking stupid

The ultimate /fa/ laptop, if you're playing it safe, is probably a MacBook Air.
If you want to subvert that though, XPS 13 maybe? Microsoft Surface is a choice too.
To subvert further, get a Chromebook. As long as it's an HP 13 or a Pixel, it'll look stylish, it'll be unique, and you won't fall into the crowd of fuckin nerds who got every scholarship and bought a Chromebook to save money hahahaha ;((((
If you *really* want to subvert that shit, you could get a thinkpad and run Xubuntu skinned to look nice.

That looks neat - is it pocketable, or does it need to be kept in a bag?

Binding's robust enough you technically don't need a separate cover for it (they look good though), and the cover's flexible. The paper makes it a whole lot thinner than you'd normally expect from a page a day planner. You talking about a TN Passport cover? I think the sizes aren't too far off, maybe the Hobonichi is a little bigger, and of course a lot thicker.
