Whats wrong with each degree?

Essentially a roast thread of:
>math
>physics
>chemistry
>biology
>engineering
>comp sci

They're all nerds.

>math
>physics
>chemistry
>biology
no good related jobs

>engineering
>comp sci
normie/cringe respectively

>maths
300 k starting, but that's like nothing

Th-then what are we left with?

>>math
bullshit pointless manipulation of symbols to no purpose

>>physics
permanent virginity

>>chemistry
too much in the past

>>biology
too difficult to do scientifically so is done in a touchy feelie way

>>engineering
too much like hard work learning pointless maths that a computer can do

>>comp sci
mra and libtard cesspit

cs master race

math: you have an average iq but are a good student so you can memorize steps and pass tests, this gives you the false self image of an intellectual and scientist

physics: you soldier on convincing yourself that you'll be working in the particle colliders in a few years, which will make your career as a consultant to oil companies all the more disappointing

chemistry: a great investment, someday you'll maybe have a high paying job even though you're not smart or good at science

biology: when you get tired of speculating you can speculate about other peoples' speculations

engineering: the field you choose after realizing your best chance at love is building a realistic robot

hit me, bitches

>>physics
>permanent virginity
tfw when you chose to study physics unironically.

>math
Often lacks marketable skills, usually severely autistic.
>physics
Similar to math but better on the skills part, unless you went for astronomy after seeing a talk by Lawrence Krauss.
>Chemistry
The more you focus on synthesis, the more you risk becoming a lab slave.
>biology
Also risks becoming a lab slave, and often lacks math/physics skills.
>engineering
Good degree. You'll get a job and become a functional human being. Unfortunately you won't be advancing the the frontiers of human knowledge. Go for it if a normal work/family life sounds good enough for you.
>CS
Absolutely awful. Filled with fat autistic bronies who are at best glorified code monkeys.

thread

What exactly about making games is dumb shit? What is your goal in learning the computational sciences in place of software development?

Literally this statement for any discipline, ever. Japanese class is 80% weeabos the first year, Spanish class is 80% retards fulfilling a language requirement first year, on and on

Some game developers can be cool, but most just play games, think its easy to make, and then want to make gamez expecting it will be something like RPG maker.

>too difficult to do scientifically so is done in a touchy feelie way
everything is based on mathematic models so i guess math is "touchy feelie"

drug dealing

I would say that game developers are generally intelligent people

However, it's those who want to be game developers that are fags

Yea, it's those i'm generally talking about. the Wannabe game developers, so they take a CS class and drop out after learning actual shit like big O

Tbqh I feel very strongly about the axioms of ZFC.

I've debated people on Veeky Forums who do not agree with them. Fuck those faggots. Set Theory is literally the best we can do.

Except for maybe the Wildberger axioms. ZFC Set Theory and Wild Theory are pretty much as good. Maybe Wild Theory is better but we still have to see.

Wildberger claims he can prove the goldbach conjecture easily using the axioms of Wild Theory so if that is true then I guess Wild Theory wins. Restart math, bois.

In modern world the point of getting a degree is getting degree. That's what's wrong with all degrees.

Should we have degrees for the sake of degrees?
Or do science for the sake of science?

What a clueless faggot.

>tfw you want to study CS because you like algorithms and math
this is me. I started off in math because I liked logic and operations but ended up in CS because it allowed me to build entire arbitrary systems. I just go to class and am genuinely intrigued by neat algorithms based in math and optimization while classmates are literally "man, fuck theory, I'm gonna bury my bad grades in CSS, PHP, Node.js and show these professors what success is"

universal answer: the people; publish or perish
other than that and more specifically:

>math
people are too interested in appearing smart and clever
>physics
the stuff going on seems so unintuitive and far removed from reality that I'm not sure i believe most of it
>chemistry
i really have no problem with chemistry other than the undergraduate classes and doing it
>biology
no issues, really...
>engineering
the professors
>comp sci
nothing

>chemistry
Titrations and premeds who want their hand held throughout everything

>i really have no problem with chemistry other than the undergraduate classes and doing it
Holy fuck, this is me
>actually start to understand the intuition behind all things chemical after a few courses
>hands like Marty McFly ensure labs are gonna be a bitch forever more
There were days where I'd literally wish to die in a car wreck on the way to lab

>biology

Biologist with interests in chem and math here. Damn straight. But not biochem

>>math
Can easily avoid all the difficult classes
>>physics
You need a good math degree
>>chemistry
Sparse major
>>biology
Premeds
>>engineering
Needs an extra year of co-op
>>comp sci
Middle school level

I majored in math because:
I was afraid I'd flunk chemistry class.

I majored in physics because:
I'm too autistic to be an engineer.

I majored in chemistry because:
I didn't think there would be this much math.

I majored in biology because:
I didn't think there would be this much chemistry.

I got into engineering because:
I thought it would be less work than physics.

I got into comp-sci because:
I want to stick muh floppy in that. Giggety-giggety!

I'm first year Uni in Australia, I have so far taken a unit in each of these fields so i'll give my perspective...

>math
complete fucking spergs, 0 social skills and don't know how to do anything but study. Not much more to say

>physics
One of the few admiral fields if you succeed and aren't a full sperg.
No women allowed, if they are enrolled in physics then they are likely doing it to be edgy and will be booted when they realise how hard it gets.

>chemistry
semi normie, people who want to think they are smart but can't do physics/math.

>biology
Ultranormie meme degree. Everyone who wants to go to uni but don't actually have any academic passion and just want to talk about animals.

>engineering
Know how to use formulae, who gives a shit about how they work or the theory.

>comp sci
Two catagories here,

Autism: Disgusting fat asocial fuckers who never leave their PC.

Brainlet: by their apelike nature are able to brute learn all the course material, will finish their course with zero ingenuity or creative skills. All they will know is how to code 50 different sorting algorithms

>tfw physics
I-I had sex once, I swear.

>math
Cool people for the most part. The autists really soil the batch (I am guilty of this, but working on tempering my outward enthusiasm). There are tones of condescension toward "inferior" fields broiling under the surface, which is not a good mentality I think. Also, many focus too much on the rigour and specifics without stepping back and appreciating deeper truths and connections.

>physics
Also pretty chill for the most part. Some can get an inflated ego like mathematicians, but this is not true for everyone. There is a growing rift in accepted levels of empiricism and belief amongst the community, and I foresee a greater divide in the future between theoretical physics and applied physics. This sort of schism developed in the mathematics community in the last century, so I guess it is true that things in mathematics hit physics a century or two later.

>chemistry
I don't know too many chemists, but the ones I do know are generally pretty down-to-earth. They have an extra level of appreciation for shitty jokes pertaining to their field since they understand that their work is just not as high-caliber as the front lines of mathematics and physics. They feel the need to justify their field, which really just reflects an overarching theme in academia of malcontent and lack of center. It's just very pronounced among chemists.

>biology
We're getting more normal as we go down the list. Biologists far less commonly exhibit the sort of autism you find amongst physicists and mathematicians. Some are motivated by job prospects or only hold mild interest in the field. Not a lot of animosity toward other fields, since they don't go in expecting to face a challenge comparable to high-level math and physics, or the work load of an engineer. With this, they just do their work and live their life. Probably the most admirable bunch here.

()
>engineering
Lots of smart people here, but also lots of bad attitudes and narcissism. Perhaps the least mature of the bunch, at least as far as philosophy of their role in society goes. They find things about all other fields by which to knock them, somehow searching for validation that they are smart or special. The math involved is rudimentary compared to what physicists and mathematicians deal with, and they don't care about precision nearly as much. To their credit, engineers probably do have the biggest workload, but this is fueled by previous generations of engineers who feel that bigger work loads imply higher levels of skill. In the end, the good ones fail to counteract the bad ones that cast a bad light on the field, which is certainly important for society.

>computer science
Once the memesters and neckbeards have either dropped out or gotten serious about the field, computer scientists are not bad to be around. They impose artificial difficulty upon their field by trying to mimic the mathematical literature, but this only fools the computer scientists and those that have studied neither it nor mathematics. Despite this shortcoming, they do interesting work and tend to think in ways mathematicians don't, so the results are interesting to the latter and the fluffy language is overlooked. Unfortunately, computer science tends to entirely overlook the value of generalization, so they don't see how their objects of study interact on a higher level, which would open up the doorway to new and exciting results. This is slowly beginning to change, however. All told, computer science is like the little brother of the STEM fields: they have great potential but still need to develop.

Cool evaluation. Someone should make a chart of the kind of people in majors or something like that

all those degrees are autism

Rate my bioinformarics degree :
Is it better than computer science and biology? Or maybe worse? I love both

It's what math/cs majors who want to be around lab wominz do. Comfy if you live in a highly developed area of the US, be prepared to move if you don't live in a major stem city

>tfw I had a CS instructor who loudly announced to the class that he's a proud brony
the man is a full-blown linux greybeard for fuck's sake

It's not the reason you're a virgin

what state ausbro?

for bio it's more like "we do the same subjects as the med/dent students, i'll get in postgrad"

engineering attracts a lot of lads

pro: more specialized than comp sci and bio
con: more specialized than comp sci and bio

find a professor/t.a. who has the thing you want to do in the future and pick their brain.

if you can pick up some mathematical modelling skills you can make yourself more valuable

Are you me, nigga? Your post describes me to a fucking T, except I have an actual motor tic disorder. Prof still lets handle most things which aren't halide acids, strong bases, or mercury

No I mean that it is respectable if you do well and actually get a degree while having the ability to maintain a normal lifestyle.

But yeah who the fuck cares about physics unless you are that genius

I think bioinformatics is pretty good.

Does pharmacy belong on Veeky Forums?
I figured it would be cool to do, because it combined every science to some extent.
It turned out to not involve any science at all. Not even the physics courses involve any math, and everyone there is just a disgruntled med school rejects.

>Ultranormie meme degree. Everyone who wants to go to uni but don't actually have any academic passion and just want to talk about animals.

Is this America? topkek, no wonder people laugh at your unis and students

This is coming from what I've seen at a top UK uni (note: I may be biased since I do maths+physics):
>maths
two types of people: the autists who get only top grades and never speak, and the people that thought university level maths was going to be the same style as high school, ie: solving easy problems that give satisfying answers, and therefore not liking the rigour and the type of proof questions asked in exams. Most of the latter people want to work in actuarial jobs or as high school teachers.

>physics:
Most of the people here dress like your stereotypical nerd in the meme TV shows, ie: metal shirts, long hair, videogame shirts, no style, and they speak about stereotypically nerdy stuff too. Some of the women that do physics are either in the previous category and are okay at physics, and then there's the women that just sound like they're retarded and got conned by the whole women in STEM meme, although maybe they're just acting stupid as it's not fashionable to be good (most of this latter group are significantly more attractive).

>chemistry:
I don't know too many people here, but most of the ones I do know are normies.

>biology:
mostly nature lovers (people that love hiking, climbing, etc) and I-love-animals girls. The former group tend to be people who enjoy going to the pub and having a calm night, listening to live music or even playing, while the latter are more about just going out on crazy nights.

>engineering
mostly just lad type guys that are in it for a good job at a car company or something similar. They enjoy engineering, not for what it is, but by how cool it looks. They go out a lot, and the women here are also pretty "nerdy", but not in an entirely cringey way as in physics.

>CS
A lot of people here are people that are just in it because they like videogames or anime, mostly autists, although the ones who arent are quite normie.

Also I've noticed that guys that do either maths, physics or engineering happen to perform the most autistic sports, ie: rowing and bodybuilding/powerlifting.

lmao faggot

Bump

Same here, but that's because I was 98% of the high school grade needed to get into engineering. So now I get no sex AND no job!

Not geophysics!

Maybe we need to push for an autists-only version of olympics? Oh wait. We already have that. It's called college.

not accurate at all for chemistry, i love to quantify meaningful things around me so chemistry was the obvious choice

Why not do a maths degree and take CS electives?

Lighten up, Francis. It's a joke thread.

Geophysics are just filled with guys that just like to hike and get drunk at conferences and while they work.

They're actually pretty dope. They know just enough physics to not be retarded without being autistic.

So now I know why I'm still a virgin.

>>physics
>admiral field
the fuck is an admiral field you autist

>>comp sci
>normie/cringe respectively

When did CS become normie tier?

>>comp sci
>Two catagories here,
>Autism: Disgusting fat asocial fuckers who never leave their PC.

I am this one. Literally was at the PC for 8 hours yesterday.

>mostly nature lovers (people that love hiking, climbing, etc) and I-love-animals girls
those are the ecologists, we molecular biologists and physiologysts are a different bunch

add >brainlet

to computer science apparently

Are you retarded?

CS became flooded with cringey retards who AREN'T interested in gaining the knowledge of how computers work and how computers could improve our lives, but instead want to make retarded video games

What a clueless faggot

Can you even survive a fucking hit faggot

>Math
Masturbation without ejaculation
>physics
We take huge ass machines to crash tiny particles into each other. There are two possible outcomes out of this: We are right or the Machine didn't have enought power.
>chemistry
Only studied to make drugs
>biology
"dude. Monocellurar structures lmao"
>engineering
I dont even want to begin with that

You didn't even try.

It's like if someone is asking you to puch a retarded kid in the face and you're looking at you phone going "yeah yeah whatever" and try to weakly hit the retarded kid with your left hand and miss.

Please add geology roasts. We are a real science too.

Philosophy :>)

And you all look up to the supreme intellect of biochemists. Feels good to be on top in the life sciences.

>too much like hard work learning pointless maths that a computer can do
Hahah shit

>>Math
>Masturbation without ejaculation
LMAO.

>Please add geology roasts.
Still trying to figure out what a rock is?

But seriously, most of us wish we were geologists. Could actually go outdoors someday.
