/lit/ - Literature

Lulz, posting it on /lit/ will get every uni student mad.

Is this /sci/ vs /lit/?

It would be good except engineering and astronomy should be low tier.

Linguistics is God Tier, and make Journalism diarrhoea tier. Other than that, all's good.

I prefer to do something that I enjoy, rather than doing some boring math & physics. HURR DURR IT HAS NUMBARS IT MUST BE SMORTER

Is this where I start the argument over which degrees are "useful" using such a narrowly defined concept of "useful" that I'm really just picking and choosing which degrees I feel are useful instead of making an objective statement.

Then I say I'm getting some degree in the higher tiers and that each are are useful by virtue of their existence.

Then I challenge one of the bottom tier degree holders by asking how it is useful, again using my own concept of use, and denying that there actually is any use in it, regardless of what the other person proves or says.

Then I go back to touching myself and reminding myself that money means I'm objectively better than everyone and that as long as I do my job I'm making the world a better place.

Consider that a significant portion of psych students are only majoring in the field because it's (apparently) easy, while a smaller percent are more serious, actually aspiring to enter the field of psych. (This is what I've observed, anyway.)

Your paycheck is the definitive reflection of how much your work is appreciated by society. Notice that, for instance, the most accomplished artists in society do well for themselves; further, that this is true across almost all artistic media. In aggregate, we appreciate them enough to make them wealthy. The same is true for anyone that earns an income: they are valued exactly what society -- in aggregate -- deems they are worth. Do you have a paycheck that reflects that you are very highly valued by society?

You should have at least at some point in your life try to figure out something about philosophy. At least figuring out what it does for degree holders, and what they can do with it (in b4 someone tries to troll with > philosophy degree and >do with it). Or at least understand what role philosophy has had in influencing thought, science, etc throughout history.

Ignorance may be bliss, but it isn't a becoming trait.

plus emergency services people get big ass pension

People in here equate money earned = quality job?

>my face

In my mind this is accurate if one is generalizing each tier by the caliber of the students.
i.e. 99% of the god tier majors are really good at/dedicated/interested in what they do.
That being said, there are people with shit tier majors that are really dedicated and display how useful they can be. But at the same time, there are a larger percentage of shit tier students only taking the course because it was the least competitive, easiest, or the only one where they could go to class stoned and still pass.

>>1252082
> implying that you're not

>>1252088
money has a lot to do with the quality of the job.
let me see you have a family making 13an hour. it sucks.
why not sell macaroni noodle art on the side of the road, and make 3bucks a day. its what i love to do.
whats wrong with this picture?

>>1252089

And at my university all the God Tier students changed majors within a year or failed out by their 3rd semester despite heavy use of recreational "study" drugs to help. Also a decent percentage of the God Tier students are either emotionally fucked up or have some other character defect about them.

Everyone else seems to have fewer, less serious problems.

>>1252104
thats nice. i suppose we should base a field of study on people you know, since that is the end-all answer to personality types.

IF I WORK AS A PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTANT, PRACTISING IN TAXATION/SUPERANNUATION, WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE ME?

>>1252102
You assume that everyone wants to have a family, or that we're going to be the only working adult in the family.

My friend's father who used to work as a lawyer told me to see through the illusion and not to chase money because I'll end up with everything but feel like I have nothing. He ended up going back to school to obtain teaching credentials and works as a teacher, and he says he's never been happier in his life and wishes he would have done it sooner even though he's not making anywhere near the amount of money he made before.

Not everyone ends up that way, obviously, but I'm not going to push myself to do something that I really don't want to do. There's more to life than making loads of cash and that stuff is more important to me than being wealthy.

You dig?

>>1252104
>at my university all the God Tier students changed majors within a year or failed out by their 3rd semester despite heavy use of recreational "study" drugs to help.

that doesn't really refute my statement. that just means that the slackers and uninterested students are weeded out. therefore the ones that actually do end up getting their degree are "good at/dedicated/interested in what they do"
idk about that character defect part though, maybe it's just your university, maybe its just a case of one tribe of people judging another with bias, or maybe we are emotionally fucked up...

>>1252122
understand ya fully. however, being a teacher is a lot better paying than other jobs out there, and you get benefits. this wouldn't be one of the jobs that are so low paying it isn't even worth thinking about.
yes, being alone does help. but that isnt the case for everyone with what they want.

>>1252135

I'd say that it may not always be the case that the slackers are weeded out, but that the people weeded out may be weeded out simply because the school, or the profession requires it (say doctors).

I know the stereotypical argument would be "but if they can't cut it in college, they would probably not do well on the job", but I generally disagree on the grounds that the education system is not comparable to an actual job citing critical difference in the two.

I actually had a rather interesting professor who stated that the American Medical Association essentially required classes to weed kids out as a simple manner of combating the industrial revolution (switch from artisans to production).

Can't speak to the truth, but it was an interesting poli sci class.

Saging.

>>1252122
There are different ways in life to make one happy other than one's profession. A lot of people value the ability to make sure their family is taken care of. This in itself is a whole value to happiness. Being a person does not necessarily mean that one should live their life to please themselves. There are other people who rely on each individual, and thinking more in the group aspect, and trying to provide, should be held on a higher priority than one's own interest.
As far as your friend's father, I would be interested to see how much money is in his family to begin with. I've seen a lot of individuals choose liberal arts degrees and not worry about finances; their parents also happened to be well-off and they knew they were set for life, no matter their trade.
It is true that women are working(I support women's rights and think all women should work), and that his wife brings in money. Unfortunately, he is the exception in his life choice being 'OK' in his family. The majority of women who go to college, get a good paying job, still want a male who is a provider and exceeds their pay. You can find proof of this from a simple google search. Women in general look for stability, and money provides this. I'm not trying to say that women are materialistic or shallow; they're not. It's just a fact of nature that women seek men who provide.(the majority)
