My school has BA or BS for science degrees (including Physics, which I'm doing). The only difference seems to be minor GE requirements. BA has to do foreign language, BS has to do science electives. I'm getting a BS because I'd rather take some easy geology or biology classes than sit through Spanish 101.

Intelligence is what separates the retards and the geniuses. Intelligence is what seperated man and beast. Intelligence is the reason why you are able to shitpost from your house. Dumbest post I've read all day and apparently it's a popular consensus among you /sci/ leftists aka Redditards.
>and you have to work hard and network even harder to make it anywhere.
Boohoo. Cry me a fucking river, you made your bed now lie in it. You made a rash life decision as an 18 year old thinking going into trades will make you money with minimum effort.

Networking is for people too stupid to use their real intelligence. Now, I'm not saying that there doesn't exist a task so daunting you need a connection of people to complete the job.
> but this board and all the sad stories are making question my decision
You are making yet another poor decision based on surviorship bias and you also happen to browse a forum known for housing socially-maladjusted people. Of course the people you see here crash and burn. But the economy is not the reason for their failure because people who browse 4chan are born low-life failures.

>Oh, so you do know where you are, why the fuck are you attacking me?
Because you need to wake the fuck up.Trades is menial labor and you're complaining on the internet about trades being a "hard job". It's clear you detest being treated like a retard when in actuality, you're not. It's also clear you wanted to do engineering or something more intelligent than the trades but the failure stories on 4chan are preventing you from reaching your success. Who cares if your job is comfy and you can shitpost on 4chan at it, who cares if you've got a promotion at work the trades is non-challenging and if you continue living your life like this you will have accomplished nothing.
