/sci/ - Science & Math

There is absolutely no context to this image...Are we talking exclusively about undergraduate degrees? Top 50 schools only? There are many tracks for Mathematics and the Physical sciences. My school's CS department requirements are very similar to the Math department's requirements and there is a lot of go-between. "Engineering" on it's own doesn't fucking mean anything, so I'm unsure how that can be considered "god-tier". Undergrad degree in medicine, what the fuck is that?

If we're talking about general fields that are acceptable to do research in then, obviously its going to be mostly physical sciences and some areas of mathematics.

Most graduate students stumble into their PhD thinking that they will fall onto a compelling, revolutionary thesis and walk out with something mediocre. A lot of people would contribute more to society if they had entered the workforce earlier. 90% of the people making judgement of any kind about these fields of research listed probably haven't even farted on a reputable research publication.
