STEMlets, when will they learn?

I have used hermeneutics to determine that the first buttmad STEMlet to reply to this thread is a little gay faggot.

Imagine falling for such obvious bait, holy shit newfag

>>15214451
I did not know cogs were capable of posting.

>>15214451
i know i'm responding to bait, but--money isn't everything. In fact, if i am to believe Mad Men, money means almost nothing.

This is true. I regret my philosophy degree so much. I can't believe I was excited to be doing a PhD in this shit stain of a field at one point. Meanwhile all my math and engineering friends were working on solving real world problems and getting approached by various companies while still in school.

It's not even about the money, but contributing absolutely nothing to society. While doing my undergraduate thesis on Husserl, I just realized how pointless and trivial it all was, abstractions on top of abstractions but with no clear definitions or rules like math.

My only choices at this point are to perpetuate this bullshit to the next generation of young "intellectuals" or die a worthless bum because I thought it was a good idea to get a student loan for a toilet paper degree. To anyone else considering this path, just read this crap on the side because you will eventually grow out of it like a bad emo phase that's only celebrated in braindead bourgeois circles or basket weaving forums like this one.

I'm in the same place with it man. On the one hand, philosophy taught me how to think and write with precision I never would have had as a business major--but the lack of applications really makes the degree hard to justify beyond "soft skills". Have you thought about law? That's what most people I know in the major do. I'm leaning towards business personally. You should trust in your philosophical training to put you ahead of the communications and poli sci plebs at least

>>15214901

Where you guys plebs who decided to major at philosophy at schools that weren't Ivies? What were you thinking?

At 18 years old I was shuffled into a damp mildewing room where I would select my course of study for the next four years with the click of a button. I don't regret it, though. I would have been horrible at anything else--and I studied what I loved. Now my plan is to work for a year and then go back for math or tech. I haven't dipped into my gov't loans yet since I got scholarships and I'm not especially rushing to shave off the rest of my years in labor--so trade school, law school, business school, or even another undergrad are all at my fingertips. And now I get to start another adventure with the greatest masters of logic and argument--from Aristotle to Kripke--having formed and matured my mind.

Out of interest anon, what did you study? Did you like it? Do you find it useful?

>>15214451
cope lmao

>>15215026
Unironically you will have better practical applications of a degree with CS.

I graduated undergrad with double major business and spanish degree (seemingly employable, no?) from a decent school. Couldn't get a job anywhere for two years and hated everyone in my Business degree uniformly. Very useless classes, honestly more useful for forming a certain kind of person which I was dead set against becoming. (This was Business Admin, a Finance degree might be different idk.)

Then I entered a grad program that was essentially a data for the humanities degree and got an interview with my current employer on the day I turned in my thesis lol

Go for the double major tho!

Both boards are filled with pseudo-intellectuals and retards wishing they were as cool as the pseudo-intellectuals.

nah /sci/ is worse bugeyed faggot, people who pretend "engineering" makes money deserve to become catamites of their respective educational institutions

Think you can find in general higher quality discussion on /lit/ more than anywhere else, which is why I think many people come to this board, although as with finding any actual valuable discussion on this site it's like a needle in the haystack and fairly infrequent

/sci/ is full of students in their first semester and there is nothing more annoying than CS, maths and physics freshmen. /lit/ at least have some posters that are not first semester liberal arts students, which are also annoying but in a way less gay way
