Is there a listing of the tiers of scientists? IE Astrophysicist = God tier and Chemists = Shit tier?

Or am I only thinking of Randal Munroe's comic about the purity of the sciences?

These hierarchies kind of annoy me. Even though I'm a physics major (and therefore at the top), I don't think there's anything wrong with someone who's interested in psychology (apparently low tier) majoring in psychology. If every fucker majored in physics, we'd have nearly everyone competing for 0.1% of the jobs, and 99% of skill-requiring jobs would be left undone.

That being said, I never understood why people would want to major in "women's studies" or some stupid shit. Seriously, what can you do with a degree like that? Congratulations, you're an expert at political correctness and inadvertent reverse sexism, have a cookie.
