I think this diagram is wrong. I propose that:
God Tier = Mathematics and Physics.
Top Tier = Engineering (chemical, mechanical, civil (and by extension architecture), electrical), Biology (and the life sciences), Chemistry, Astronomy.
Medium Tier = Economics, Law, Medicine, Geosciences (and the rest of the Earth sciences), English language & literature.
Low Tier = As the diagram excluding English.
Shit Tier = As diagram.

Feel free to contribute your own model.

Why not just separate it into two simple categories?

Who's getting pussy tier, and who's not getting pussy tier.

I theorize that this separation would be much simpler to acknowledge and would streamline the significance of any subject; it would help balance out the copious amounts of posterior-agony that you seem to exhibit.

Here, I'll start. /sci/ would go into the latter.

What makes EE a godly tier is that once you get a few years of actual full time work experience your value increases much faster then a lot of other disciplines.

I think being a tenured professor of Business or Engineering is God Tier. Summers off, holidays off. If you work in a research institute you don't have to deal with kids if you don't want to.

>>1965689
I presume it's because we neither want nor need PhD's to go into industry. Whereas the natural sciences must endure another 7 years (average) of grad school before facing one or more post-docs and then subsisting as a workaholic assistant prof. before (maybe) finally getting tenure at 40 (average). Engineering is simpler, faster, mo' money, and educated in broader fields than most Nat.Scis. Not to say I don't respect Nat.Scis, their contributions are absolutely critical for the advancement of technology and anyone who gets into that field aware of how much bullshit they will have to wade through gets double-plus man-points from me.
