I love teaching. Its what I'm majoring in. English, Philosophy, History. I adore these topics. They make my life worthwhile. I just wasn't good at math and don't really care for sciences outside of encyclopedic knowledge (IE my own inquiries, not majors)
I'll be meh about my $30k-$70k paycheck, but its what gets me through life. How is that..."poor"?...

What this chart seems to do is separate things by pay.

Here's the flaw with that.


>Imply this is the best way to make money
The people who make millions are not physicians and engineers, it is the corporations and conglomerates who hire said people. You're only as rich as your boss, fellas.

>Imply you make more than ATHLETES, the anti-thesis of the geek/nerd high-tier culture

You might have a valid argument if scientists actually made a lot of money, but they don't. Yes it takes money to fund research, but that doesn't immediately make it a business. Art in general is much more of a business in today's society than science ever will be.

You are incorrect. Maths, physics, engineering, etc are pure, in that they are universal. The laws of physics on earth are the same for everywhere in the universe.

No two civilizations on earth have ever had the exact same system of law. Law is an impure and trivial field of study. Law in today's society is about suing people and making money. It's because of people who study law that OJ Simpson got away with murdering his wife. People who study law do exactly shit to uphold a high moral or ethical standard, and are only out to make money.

The other subjects are great only when they have a great mind behind them. They are shitty with a crappy mind behind them. Hence the subject itself is not the metric to follow, but only specific examples.

the study of most sciences could be considered to deal with the empirical, I.E. that which we can observe through physical instruments. On the other hand, philosophy deals with ideals, logic, reasoning, truths and untruths, what is right and what is wrong. Does the empirical nature of something to determine its worth? Are things which we can taste and touch the only things worth studying? To answer this question you must ask why do we study things? for the sake of learning, for the sake of bettering society and oneself are two common reasons. is there anything which the intangible ideals study in philosophy disavow as concerning these two things? does the study of what is right and wrong not better society? does the study of what a human beings purpose is, and how he should live his life not serve some benefit to the individual? and, is not the study of the facets of logic, (for instance, the study of our intrinsic need for casualty as explored by Kant) do these studys not provide one willing to read with something to learn?

as for the counter argument of practicality, law and state come from philosophy, they do not exist as empirical in the world. they were created by those who would think. both are often considered practical.

as for the reliability of empirical study versus the study of relative intangible objects like good and bad, it is difficult to call one necessarily more reliable than the other since the instruments which we use to study the empirical, sight, sound, touch, these are arguably just illusions which occur uniquely in the kingdom animalia. of which they are reliable tools to measure, who can say?

Computer Science graduate here. CS is instructed in a lot of different ways. Some institutions teach it as more of an applied mathematics (sometimes it is called this). Other institutions teach it as 'hurf durf programming'. The second approach tends to give CS a bad name.

One thing I forgot to mention that's kinda' nice about CS:

You can build anything in computers. With EE (another favorite of mine) you can do circuit design and simulation, but the actual cost of building a device is pretty high. You can drop $50 on a project pretty easily if you don't have a large base of components from which to draw.

I'm sorry, but the touch of the woman, the smell of death, and even the awe felt when tripping on shrooms and recognizing all the mathematical patterns in nature are not things that can be "reduced" to an equation or some set of mathematical terms. Only complicated into it.

Mathematics is the language of how things move, but there's an entire dimension of feeling and consciousness you're missing out on. Things that are subjective and can't be defined or completely understood through the distance of empirical methods.

Without philosophy there would be no scientific method.

Without human consciousness there would be no curiosity.

Without art, there would be no means by which the absorption of scientific knowledge by a human brain would be practical or enjoyable.

Looking at someone else's life work and dismissing it as shit because you don't understand its value or don't want to is

A) A shitty philosophy.

You are wrong. We can't do it, because the equations would be too complex for us, but these things can theoretically be described mathematically.

The "dimension of feeling and consciousness" you refer to is not a dimension at all, but is caused by physical processes which occur in the human body. All physical problems can theoretically be described mathematically, and all problems are fundamentally physical.

You still don't get it. You're taking my use of the term "dimension" so literally, belittling my entire argument because I used it in more of a metaphysical, identifiable, easily-understandable, practical way, which basically adds to my point that thinking exclusively on the terms of math and science are dehumanizing and just not worth it.

You end up with all this information that you take so seriously, but nothing to do with it. You don't understand the value of human intuition; being able to feel around and explain, in a way completely understandable by the layman, what is going on without all the terminology and meticulous stuff.

I understand that math can theoretically describe these things.

But that's it, they can only describe. A long string of mathematical equations and relations outlining how each atom in two human bodies move and interact as the two humans make love would encompass millions of pages and certainly wouldn't hold a candle to actually doing it.

There's a time and a place for everything. EVERYTHING has value when used correctly. It's all good.

My point was is that the dismissive, pretentious attitudes of all these little students who want to assure themselves that they picked the "right" major (when they don't even realize that there isn't a right or wrong one because they don't dare consider the philosophical implications of the things they say) are cheating themselves out of being not only the smartest people they can be, but they're cheating themselves out of a life worth talking about.
