About here

coming from a chem major

>philosophy
>dumb

>>6958656
Yeah, your a fucking idot

>>6958679
In terms of ancient Greece no. In terms of modern day usage and getting a well paying job, yeah it's dumb as shit. Philosophy is shit tier liberal arts down with Gender Studies. Coming from a pre-law student.

>>6958688
Pre-anything is same tier as arts imo
Wait until you are in second year to claim it

>Pre-Law and Biology is smart
>Nursing is above average
Into the trash

>>6958688
Some modern philosophy is actually pretty good. Particularly 20th century Political Philosophy and Ethics. Aesthetics are bullshit anyway and Epistemology/Metaphysics was good a millennia ago, but now attracts "hurr yu cannoth now knophing durr" fags only.

Chem Engineering/Psychology Double Major here

1. Theoretical Physics majors
2. Mathematics majors
3. Applied Physics/Applied Math
4. Engineers (Chem = Electric > Computer > MechE = Aerospace > Civ)
5. Chem majors, offshoots of chem majors
6. Bio shit
7. Pre med
8. Pre law
9. Soft sciences
10. Humanities

Mathematics
Physics
Chemistry
Engineering
Philosophy
Biology
Comparative Literature
Psychology
Sociology
Oceanography
Forestry
High School Dropout
Gender Studies

I'd put Theoretical Physics alongside Pure Mathematics.

>How would you rank college majors based on student intelligence?

I wouldn't because the practicing specialty/application is more inductive to their possible intelligence than the major itself as a whole.

For instance do you think the intelligence of the average person who goes into Surveying is the same as the average person who goes into Structural Engineering within the field of Civil Engineering?

What about in Foreign language? Is the person who specializes in Spanish the same as someone who specializes in Japanese?

Same goes for the Arts and Music where the specialty could range from painting and single instrument play to computer animation and musical theatre do you believe they're all the same?

Not that should it matter since you should do what you want to do instead of what the masses want. Assuming you care about passion of the craft more than economic security.

Eventually you will wind up working for someone who went to Hardvard/Yale/Princeton and majored in music or art history.

My dork friend (MIT) hated Wall St because he could not handle being the office bitch for for an Ivy League girl.

>1. Theoretical Physics majors
>2. Mathematics majors

Theoretical Physics is just an application of Mathematics.

>>6958729
>engineers smarter then chemists

>>6959032
Well, engineers can get jobs

>>6958950

So?

>>6958656
>Computer science in Tier 1
I'm not even going to comment on anything else you have there.

>>6959108
>>6958647
So many jealous CS haters on /sci/.

>>6959124
you're like those fat chicks who tell them that real men want curves

>People who put majors in tier lists
retards
>people who study what they like and are good at it
smart
>people who do engineering/math/physics for the nerd cred and sucker at it
most of /sci/

This thread is so pretentious, there are some dumb as rocks people in every major who get in just cause they heard it had money in it and just to say, "Hey I'm an engineer/math major respeck me" and the latter applies to a good portion of this board.
