/sci/ is mad because philosophy actually requires intelligence, not just punching numbers into a calculator.

If an employee gets paid 100k/yr, the employer on average must pay an additional 33% of the employee's wages in taxes and insurance. thus your salary of 100k actually costs your employer ~133k.

I am a contractor, I pay my own taxes and insurance at a lower rate than an employer. Thus my job is to go to your employer, who's paying 133k for your services, and offer to do your job for 125k flat. You get laid off, and I then hire you and pay you 75k to do the same job that you used to get paid 100k for. I suck a 5-10% profit off your work, and live on the proceeds of your studies and accomplishments while selling your services to others and doing very little myself.

This.

I've never met a single math major who could grasp something like computational functionalist materialist or quantum dualist theories of the mind.

I'm a photographer for National Geographic who makes 80k gross in a year and gets all of his travel fees paid for.

Tell me, contractor: how would get my job?

I don't know what currency you're getting paid in, but it sure as hell isn't the american dollar lol.

I wouldn't bother for what you make. However if I really wanted to, I'd approach your employer and sell them on the savings offered by contracting out their photography dept, and when they hired me to do exactly that, I'd tell you that you're about to be fired, and offer you your old job at a lower salary.

Great job demand, starting at $60K, few years move up to $120K, can make own company and make millions.

What do you do to go up to 120? Not everyone can go into management you know. I'll probably go for a PhD after 10-15 years.

>contracting out a photography dept.

Yeah, I'm not sure you get how that whole contracting thing works if you think publications parse like that.

[Anonymous No.2488697]

>>2488677
I know how contracting works, I don't know how magazines work. Somebody does though... perhaps even you.

If you get 80k you cost your employer more than 100k. If you have benefits on top of that you probably cost far more. A staff position is nice when your work isn't consistantly valuable, but could you make more money going independent and paying self-employment taxes while subtracting expenses from your salary? If you're work is consistantly valuable you probably could. You can pocket the cost of taxes and insurance that your employer pays on your behalf... or someone else can.

You prick. I know lots of math majors that can grasp philosophy. And to be honest, I find it arrogant of you to mistake calling something rediculous with not understanding it. Some theories in philosophy are rediculous. Too much based on assumptions that never made sense.
Its not that math majors "can't think abstractly and rely too much on calculators". Its that you are too busy looking for obscure theories to actually find some that make sense. And thats the thing. Math majors tend to like things that make sense. Understand obscure and rediculous things is easy. Believing them takes alot of sillyness.

On another note: enjoy making little to no reasonable contribution to society. Enjoy living your life in a starbucks in obscurity.

He's speaking on statistics. And statistically he is correct. According to stats canada, the average entrance salary for electrical engineers is about 60k, and is in demand. 90% of students get picked up within the first year, in their field. Normally after about 5 years of experience salary goes up to 120k. And thats not getting a promotion, just the national average. Lots of opportunity to entrepeneurship there as well. I know a good couple engineers. One designs sonar for the canadian military.
INB4 canada has no military.
