i don't understand why people go for math/physics degrees. an engineering degree makes you more hireable. of course the material isn't as extensive but you should be able to get the books and learn it on your own after finish first year stuff like stewart.
why would you piss away 4 years and not get better accreditation? an engineer can do a mathematicians/CSs/physicists job if they can show they know the material. you can't do the reverse; if you know engineering material that's good and all but you have no accreditation and aren't actually allowed to work in that field. so by logical deduction, shouldn't you just get an engineering degree and learn the rest on your own?
depends on where you live. in austria/germany you get job requests sent to you when you graduate in physics

>Wasting 4 years of my life studying something I'm not passionate about.
Fuck that man. For context, I'm majoring in mathematics.
Before I got in I considered my other options, some engneerings included. Electrical and Computer... and I hated the fucking shitty requirements. A bunch of labs, a bunch of science classes, a bunch of applied engineering classes and even some non-STEM classes like "environmental something something". What the fuck?
Then I considered non-engineering but still applied degrees like CS. It was obviously better but for some reason all CS courses I found have some absolutely top homosexual science requirements like chemistry, physics and some even had biology.
I give 0 shits about all that. I just want to do math. Anything that is not math is certified BORING.
So I tried, I tried really hard but I couldn't. So I obviously went into the only degree that will allow me to not get bored: mathematics. The degree where you only do mathematics. No bullshit labs, no bullshit applied classes. Just fun.
And the sad thing is that it could be different. CS could be a completely mathematical degree. It could be 4 years of theory, some functional programming thrown in and boom, you got it. A non-shit CS degree.
Engineering too. There is so much applied mathematics which could be taught in a more theoretical manner. Instead of "Matrix Algebra with Homo Applications" you could have "Linear Algebra" in the way it is taught to mathematicians. You could replace all Physics classes with a broader set of Calculus/Analysis classes that teach in terms of theory but frame themselves in the context of physics.
But nope, we have to have labs and gay classes.
Not my cup of tea, friend. Not my fucking cup of tea. Talk to me when engineering degrees are not absolute garbage.

you go to a shit university

Engineers just design stuff,non-theoritical physicists do what engineers claim they're doing.

I love you you magnificent autist. Do some important math with your powers of 'tism.

>an engineering degree makes you more hireable. >of course the material isn't as extensive These two statements are incongruous
>but you should be able to get the books and learn it on your own Are you implying an engineering major can teach themselves proper physics? To do that first they would have to teach themselves real math.
>piss away 4 years It's not pissing away four years to learn the most fundamental principles of nature.
>an engineer can do a mathematicians/CSs/physicists job no they can't, because... >if they can show they know the material they never will.

Yeah, just designing stuff totally can't be physics. Sure, you just design stuff, retard.
All three winners are engineers. Look them up, they have degrees in engineering. Now, they're regarded as physicists and physics Gods.
Don't kid yourselves; in the end it all depends on your personality, talents and abilities. Whether you get a degree in EE or Physics if you're smart you're smart. It's as simple as that.
Your shitty meme degree, muh pure science!, won't make you smart, kid.
Ryder Smith
Most entry enginerring jobs prefer a math/physics background because the non math courses in emgineering are just shitty process design courses that don't help prepare you for industry at all.
Check job listing and you'll see too. Only matters if you get a masters or higher

Maybe because it interests me?
Nonsense. Sign me up for that mailing list otherwise.
