I feel as if this is an overstatement. Especially if you have a comfy residency. Granted those are hard to get. But you don't have to work insane hours, be depressed by death, or even interact with patients. Also hours can be allocated in nice ways. For example 7 on/7off.

So the best way to be an MD is to avoid being an MD and try to get the residency that most closely resembles an office job?

how'd that work out for you? i'm a physics major considering a cs minor, do you suppose that would be worthwhile or is it not worth it unless double major?

[Anonymous No.10006963]

>>10006501
It really depends. I did a double major, and the only things I missed out on were complex analysis and a second semester of topology. I came into school with enough credit to start multivariable calculus, so it gave me more time to take more math and CS. Funnily enough, I think my hardest class was my graduate algorithms course, but I attended a well ranked research school, so your mileage may vary

Basically don’t put too much stock into this major or that. If you find something interesting from another field, study it yourself and use your skill set to put it in terms that you understand. I did grad school for EE because I wanted to work more closely with quantum electronics/information, and by far my complexity theory, probability theory, and differential equations background has helped me a lot where some others have struggled

[Anonymous No.10006974]

>>10006962
Do the double major if you want to learn actual CS. In my experience, people look at the minor requirements and think they know what it’s all about, but you can choose to take harder courses like graphics or advanced algorithms. Keep in mind, I’m >>10006963 and went to a good school for CS (and stem in general), so I’m not sure how good your CS classes are. Mine were math heavy, involved problems around many areas of math and science, and the classes that involved programming were long projects that had big derivations (I’m looking at you, advanced graphics)

[Anonymous No.10006979]

>>10006974
i'm just trying to get a familiarity with programming, enough so that I can put together code for future work in physics labs. I would think a full double major might be overdoing it for that, as I'm not interested in getting into the theoretical side of things but just a competency behind a keyboard.

then again, I don't really know the scale of the projects I'll work on in the future and a deep understanding of CS certainly wouldn't hurt in any situation...

Haha, I understand. I too want to work in a lab, so I understand the feeling. My frustrations come from the fact that a lot of schools treat CS as a vocational programming degree. It allows students who hate math to say they’ve gotten a CS degree..and I think that’s insanely messed up.

It feels patronizing, especially when I read springer books, analytical combinatorics, AI texts, real time systems papers, etc., and it’s readily apparent that most schools shield their students from the nature of CS. They don’t have to necessarily teach out of springer texts, but I wish more schools would be as unapologetic about what CS is (read: not a programming degree)

It’s not really a task worth doing since no STEM degree except a CS degree is a strong guarantee for a job. This list is trying to composite multiple criteria that aren’t all easily quantifiable to make some easy ranking system.

The medical professions have amazing employability, but you have to go through a lot of training and money to get there. Actuarial work requires more or less the same. Theory heavy CS jobs are amazing, but not every school has an amazing CS program. Math and physics are the subjects from which many others build, but employment is rough, and many smart people are rejected from persistent positions because of space and luck issues.

The only thing I can really say is this: IT is brainlet hell, you’re better off doing a mainstream money making degree (CS, nursing, etc) and launching your career in non-fine arts via promotions, events, and networking by yourself, and that good sociology is statistics heavy. Take classes and study things outside your field if you have an interest in them. Almost all interesting research is interdisciplinary in some way.

First of all, don't listen to that meme (listen to my meme instead!)

What you should do is figure out a general area you want to work in. Figure out what math you will need for it and choose your curriculum based on that. 90%+ of jobs are applied and won't need anything beyond the math that comment is hating on.

But to answer your question, real analysis, abstract algebra and topology are the typical theory courses for undergrads. There's also no shame in taking all applied courses if that suits your career/goals.
