you can at least go into post-doc hell

or if you're lucky, get an internship from supervisor straiight out of a PhD then land a $90K starting (eh at least you're not in debt or working slave labor anymore) after a couple months.

or if you're less lucky, get recommended to something nice after a post-doc / fellowship.

If you're not an international PhD / postdoc facing a culture barrier, you're already above a good chunk of the competition.

I have a feeling a good chunk of /sci/ goes to arts school but is in denial. Now back to Mad Scientist, i didn't know he was a sex offender. Must be a real basket case. I wouldn't be surprised if he killed himself while doing one of his shenanigans.

No, the point of that pic is he misunderstood the lecturer and still knows nothing about QM, but is already trying to critique it.

It's intellectually unethical to critique, agree with or suspend judgement on anything you don't understand yet. This is why he was kicked into intellectually degenerate departments like philosophy.

>Scientists and Engineers will never be richer than business executives and salespersonal.

The theory above was proven by the following hypothesis.

>Hypothesis one: Knowledge is Power hence Knowledge = Power
>Hypothesis two: Time is Money hence Time = Money

It's known that Power = Work done / Time. However Knowledge = Power AND Time = Money

So work out with the equations above bring

Power = Work done/Time
Knowledge = Work done/Time
Knowledge = Work done/Money
Knowledge = Work done/Money
Money = Work done/Knowledge.

Hence conclude that Money are directly proportional to the work done but inversely proportional to the knowledge.

Limit Work done/Knowledge as Knowledge approached 0 = infinite. Hence no matter how many work are done money are closer to infinite.

Conclusion: The less knowledge earns you more money since money are inversely proportional to knowledge.
