Don't be an idiot, anon. You'll regret that decision so fucking much.

I understand dropping out of STEM but dude save your money, modern university especially for the humanities is a huge ponzi scheme.

The Liberal Arts have been reduced to a rubber stamp program for the leftism machine. Trade degrees are the only things modern """universities""" are good for.

Is anyone here doing law? I hear it's the only option for any kind of writing major, but it is soul crushing isn't it. I can't imagine how it could be significantly more tedious than engineering. I was reading the Federalist papers last night and had a strange moment of appreciation for the English language, I can't remember the specific passage but the writing was both poetic and technical, I had an odd flush of emotion from it . Might just join the air force desu I have no human connection holding me here I just read study and exercise everyday

If you can't stick with engineering maybe you could try something similar where the classes you've already taken won't be a waste? Going to school for humanities is dumb and being in the military is like being a welfare queen that demands respect.

I was referring to the fact that they live on my tax dollars and don't actually do anything.

All the navy people I know hated it but love their brothers forever. I guess spending months in a tube underwater will do that to you.

I'm an air force vet. It's not a bad deal. If you want to spend a bunch of money to read you can do an enlistment and go to St. John's or whatever. Do something technical, preferably with a TS if you can because you can make a good amount of money with it.
