so.../sci/ on average how much do you scientists/physicists/mathmaticians and engineers actually make in one year on average. Its not really 300,000 is it?

I mean, going through all that schooling for a degree and stuff must put you guys in quite a bit of debt and stuff. Also what is a day at work like for you guys?

Im a blue collar worker personally, working as an apprentice electrician, im only going to spend like 40 weeks in school in the next four years, until i get my journeymans ticket, at which point i will be making 100k plus if i decide to work up north on the rigs or at one of the diamond mines, or about 65k if i work in a more residential setting....college/university just seems like a waste of money to me, i tried it, and couldnt figure out why so many people decide to go. Bur i guess if doing something you enjoy is really what matters, i would be happy even if i made way less than i currently make, which isnt very much anyway.

also, we can talk about what happens you die ITT

>in quite a bit of debt and stuff

No, Grad Math and Physics programs (most science programs) pay the students. You will have no debt.

Only engineers (faggots) usually have to pay for grad school.

english, history, econimcs, i fucking hated math too, but math is good to have so i didnt really mind it.

i just dont really understand why somebody who just wants to program computers needs to learn all of this unrelated shit.

im loving working in a trade because when i go for my schooling every year its 100% related to what im doing and we do plenty of hands on to back up the theory

>>	Anonymous Fri Sep 24 23:50:13 2010 No.1799814 I dont understand why sci hates engineers? engineering is just applied /sci/ does /sci/ hate scientists too or just applied scientists?

>>	Anonymous Fri Sep 24 23:52:13 2010 No.1799821 >>1799770 False. If you are any good, you get paid for grad school in engineering. It's usually business majors who have to pay for grad school.
