This bothered me for a while but I now believe it to have been a boon for my intellectual development. Most of my friends who went to top-tier schools grew complacent, graduated, accepted cushy white-collar jobs, an are in the same mental state they were as undergrads. On the other hand, I, because of intellectual insecurity, strove to constantly challenge myself, to learn as much as I could, to never fall behind academic developments and pressing global conversations.

They're only arts degrees because they can't possibly be described as science.

It's purely a matter of nomenclature anyway. Oxford only offers BA's, even for hard sciences.

There's two extremes of an interesting job with low pay and a boring job with high pay. Rarely people manage to find something interesting and well-paid. You on the other hand are bragging about a boring job with a mediocre pay, so I don't see any reason to post smug anime girls, fampai.

That's like science is pure maths, which is to say, not really.

Math, in economics, is just a useful tool, like any other.

I have heard that it becomes extremely quantitative at the graduate level, though.
