Oh look, a libertarian. The problem with your reasoning is that intellectuals and people who set out to acquire wealth are in virtually no instances the same person.

As for working hard, I happen to be an undergrad and thus far haven't exactly been challenged a lot.
So excuse me for lurking 4chan with my forearm in my colon while I wait for the plebs to drop out.

whoa mam. maybe i should have said 'financially comfortable'

all the intelligent people who work hard at what they do, that i know, are wealthy. not because they set out specifically to aquire wealth, but because they adhered to those two points. silly.

no one gives a fuck about your undergrad either since 1. its not finished and 2. its probably arts/social sciences. prove me wrong

I didn't have an issue with the term 'wealthy,' but with the condescending attitude that comes with wasting your life 4chan while telling others about how successful people don't waste their time on 4chan. As for anecdotes that no one gives a fuck about, my cousin got a master's in mathematical economics that he didn't do shit for, because, unlike almost everyone here including me, he's an actual genius.
Some people work their ass off and fail, others succeed without really trying.
Sure, these are exceptions, but I like to highlight them as they don't fit your self-righteous little theory.

And regarding that last paragraph, did that really sound like bragging to you? And yes, it's not finished, like I said I'm waiting. And no, it's not arts, it's engineering as highlighted in

Probably not, but I'm a computational engineer (hence the bitches) so I don't have any 'structures exams' and Wikipedia apparently only knows that one exam.

No, but my experience on this board shows that if someone claims to be Richard Feynman they're probably full of shit.

Well to say I'm purely organic synthetic is kind of a lie, because no one is purely organic anymore.
My syntheses usually revolve around self-assembling molecules into ordered nanostructures. So basicaly its a lot materials science and p-chem stuff as well. But the catch is that my nanostructures typically are based on naturally occurring organic molecules, usually those found in biological systems. The hope here is that we can shed some insight into possible molecular devices that function like naturally occurring molecules but more efficient.

I actually started off really well, too. Got in with a 97, dean's list first year. Now I just think about killing myself.

>What I wanted to be
Either Mechanical Engineer, Quant, or Maths teacher

>What I am now
PHD Philosophy student

Don't even ask me how, but along the lines philosophy overtook my interest in mathematics. Now without even thinking about it, I've pigeon-holed myself hard into academia. Here's to hoping I can get tenure somewhere nice, and nurse my regrets.
