Studyit yourself then. A degree does not limit your capacity anon. As St. Thomas Aquinas said, Veritas Fillia Temporis

don't study stem and you will regret it
do or don't study stem, you will regret it either way

Same here. Got a degree in CS while still reading tons in my free time.
Going to university to study Latin is retarded, OP.

What is the best STEM major for somebody who would rather study philosophy, history, or the fine arts? Math? Physics seems cool but it looks like there is a lot of slogging through boring shit before you get into the interesting stuff

>>15160210
Probably
You'd have to be decent at Maths/taking concepts in in the first place
But it can give you time seeing as a lot of the time you just have exams/tests instead of big projects
If you are into grundlagen autism then there is option for that too
>major
Don't really know enough about stars n strips education to expand further

Oh and don't major in something you aren't already interested in

>>15160091
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Should've studied energy and land resources management or something like that. Never understood why normal people pick degrees in psychology.

>After those jobs, however, the report starts to look more like the findings from a study from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which found that only 27 percent of college graduates work in a field related to their major.

I'm studying computer engineering. No regrets so far. If I were rich and in another nation I would've gone for art, but so far this is my only realistic option at not being a poorfag.

Industrial Design or Architecture straddles the line pretty well

In a discussion about learning philosophy, they'll say you're a directionless psued if you are not talking to others as you study philosophical works like Plato, etc. Plato cannot be read and fully understood by an uber-incel, but rather in correspondence with a mentor, thus demanding oratory and rhetoric. How true is this in practice? Would this vindicate (some) academic institutions?
