I've heard many complain they didn't take calculus in HS...

Reminder to all the STEM fags in this thread.

I'm not saying STEM isn't hard. I'm not saying Math isn't hard, I'm not even saying there isn't times in STEM we need to engage in critical thinking and communication. But STEM for the most part unless you are off into weird experimental shit will always be a million times more straight forward than Humanities. The course load for Engineering was a 10th of the course load I have for History.

95% of my engineering course was just fucking gooks copying off each other, they wouldn't even hide it as well, a few of them could speak english, then the rest would just copy off them. My best friend largely used to just copy off me.

You can't copy in humanities, I've seen students officially warned for having paragraphs similar to eachother. In Engineering, I never had these crazy as fuck interpretive essays thrown onto me non-stop every single fucking week.

And here is the worst thing about STEM. STEMlords who literally think they are the greatest thing in the universe, but are autistic retarded pieces of shit once they step out of their field. The arguments I get into with STEMlords my god.

If I have to hear another STEMlord go on about how fucking "Logical" he is or "that's just logic" in a fucking intepretation of politics, sociology or history, I'm probably going to write a snarky comment on facebook for facebook likes.

Again, I don't think STEM isn't hard and I think STEM is massively important (despite how useless my engineering degree is, though I do have a nice certificate as well from an engineering guild) but the attitude against the humanities that is present in the media, in academia and especially from STEM students is complete and utter bullshit, especially with how fucking hamstrung humanities is in funding, while STEMlords try to grapple why they can't explain basic fucking science to the general public like Climate Change.

I heard a 15 year old say the same shit.

Well, then the myths about engineering are true, you get pragmatic dumbed down shit. Have you ever dealt witha proof that isn't half a page long? Have you ever had to invest weeks in a couple of problems? Have you ever had to scrutinize over thousands of data points and getting a rigorous and well presented (which means well written) report?

No one is downing humanities or history, but you are delusional if you think either subject is inherently more difficult than the other.

Trips checked.

I took calculus in college (it wasn't an HS course at the time). If I had it to do over again, I would have taken Accounting instead. I've never worked an integral on the job, and I'm sure knowing something about debits and credits would have been helpful.

Sure you have. Meanwhile, every goddam 12 year old adlibs some one-liner from Bill The Good Goy Science Guy, and Neil DeShill Tyson all day long.

I mean, did you actually listen to what the guy said, or does the existence of edgy teenagers who have read Nietzsche's wiki page make you discount everything he has ever said?

Knowing how to use what you learned is as important as learning those ticky trig substitutions. Accounting isn't just add this and multiply this you know, it also has some complicated mathematical work. It's like the people who think they should learn statistics instead of calculus because their knowledge of statistics is how to take the arithmetic mean and how to click linreg in a ti-82.

It was not eye opening

Can you do that? Wouldn't there be heaps of errors, thus resulting in a false claim?

because engineering grads own their own factories...right? oh no, wait, your just a cog in apple/microsoft/british oil/ whatever....
