I'll agree with most of your list, except Theology.
Non meme Theological study has alot of its basis in philosophy which seems fair to put in the mid tier.

I'm going to do a math degree because of this too.

Math is fucking cucked, it's useless by itself it's 100 times better to go Physics or Chemistry subjects which WILL land you with a job.

computer science is essentially just a subfield of mathematics (and a bit of philosophy)
unless you're talking about the computer science major, in which case i agree

I think the majority of computer science majors I knew were obnoxious, but there were definitely some interesting, brilliant people that I met who were in the field. From personal experience, I feel like the computer science students usually try to appear as smart as possible - and while they were intelligent- it came off as insecure. The math majors I knew were usually quiet geniuses.

>> No.12317114

>>12317102
I think it depends - then again, the best CS students I knew were the double majors in math.

>> No.12317115

>>12317102
>>12317114
Also it's hard to not be insecure when your field is so new and full of great problems, but it's got low hanging fruit and thus a lot of less than excellent people going for their slice of the pie

I had helped comp sci majors as a
mathematics tutor in college, mostly in calculus
where they need to pass the class the most. One of them needed me the most. He
passed differential calculus with my help and
is working on integral calculus with my help.
At one point, he was interested in some
problems in number theory that he wanted to
go over with me. At times, I would mention
seeing the other tutor for extra help, but he
rather learn it from me.
Do you all had this sort of experience?

I guess...one would never let go the lightning
that struck them in the darkest of nights.

Did CS, kinda hated almost everyone in the field including myself.
It's full of normies I was too autistic for this shit

The majority of CS majors are the absolute fucking worst. I took a CS class that was (almost) a math class (graph theory) and we spent almost 3 classes covering induction. It was truly embarrassing and painful. However, the best CS majors were also math majors and they were quite brilliant.

I can attest to this. I don't know of any other major that will have a portion of their population lugging around gaming laptops with loud-ass fans and playing video games in class.
