>mfw I fell for the physics meme

Fuck me, I should have studied math or chemistry instead

>I should have studied math

Fuck yeah you should have as it is an objectively superior subject, but why are you shitting your pants now?

It almost makes no difference in the job market what 'pure science' you majored in.

>tfw studied Philosophy and now I make 599k/yr

hehe

Went better than expected, I guess.

>It almost makes no difference in the job market what 'pure science' you majored in.

but I feel like a retard compared to math majors and I'm jelous of chem majors because they have cool experiments while our experiments are boring as fuck

>Went to university for 8+ years to get paid 60k a year
>Not wanting to kill yourself on a daily basis

Pick one and only one.

>I feel like a retard compared to math majors
That is just natural.

>chem majors because they have cool experiments while our experiments are boring as fuck

Well, what did you expect.

Switch majors, you obviously don't give two shits about physics.

>Pick one and only one.
Eh. I enjoy what I'm working and never lived a lavish life. You can think of it this way - I've paid in those years at uni, and can look forward to the next 40 or so doing interesting projects, whereas my deadbeat sister will be a labmonkey for the rest of her life. I think I chose better than she did.

I suppose you are right but if I was you then I would look for other ways of making money. Like saving up and buying stock to sell at a profit.

You will enjoy your job but if you get to like 50 and you are still renting a shitty apartment then you'll probably end up jumping from your window to your death.

>I am an incthyologist
Kill me now.
