/thread

I've watched enough University challenge episodes to know that like 1 in 100 STEM males are not autistic, where the women are more like 1 in 2 not autistic. They wear oversized sport coats with ties that weren't even tied correctly with these ugly ass haircuts, some clearly didn't even take a shower and had bed head before going on the show. It's such a joke. Then you'll get 1 guy that is cool, conservatively witty, looks good, answers every question and gets the job done with zero autism. It's really rare though. They're typically in physics too lmao pretty funny considering this thread is already showing that. one of them was getting their PhD in chemistry, or maybe biochemistry, can't remember, but the majority are physics.

EE

Not really. Or, if it does, not after you discuss your salary.

yeah user girls get really wet over that 40+ hours per week for 60K starting salary.

Lol, nope. I got hired by Google out of graduate school. This was my first year:

>$120k salary
>stock worth $70k by the time I sold them it the end of the year
>$35k bonus

This was my first year. First. Before any raises or anything.

and you live in SF where it's about 36K per year to rent a studio apartment

how was the interview

>Most chad STEM majors
Geology
>Most autistic
Computer Science hands down

lol STEM majors talking about making like 100K per year as if it's a lot is always a laugh

>120k salary
>100K minimum cost of living

200k+ income
more likely 50k/year COL
Taxed like a motherfucker
>still makes more than you ever will

you can google the cost of living in places like that yourself. SF is extremely expensive. it's like saying you make 100K in NYC or London. nobody cares because it's not a lot of money there.

doesn't california alone take 10%? then even if you make more than i will you're still stuck in a far left mexico 2.0.

I'm at Google too but I've never had a girl give a shit that I made ~$140,000 last year. It's the norm here. I fucking hate California.

kek

Nah, I'm a CS dude and it's autistic as hell.
Aerospace Engineering sounds cool

It is the coolest if one is strictly concerned with making money. Otherwise it is the most boring.

Mechanical Engineering is the least autistic. It is literally the dudebro engineering field

>outlier
>he thinks that's the norm

Top kek.

STEM tards continue to be autist

biochemistry

this guy is an ME and he's autistic

youtube.com/user/EngineeringExplained

Well yeah, engineering in general is riddled with autism, ME is no exception.

>least autistic
Medicine or Civil Engineering

>most autistic
Physics and Computer Science

Hey fuck you I will Get 60 K after my food science degree lol.

Avoid pure maths or physics. It's just the least cool stuff even if it grants very good jobs.
Better try economics. Smells like money in the nose of people

>economic
>money
nice joke user. best money fields nowaday are probably CompSci, Math (Quant jobs) or Petro Engineering... anything that involves using math to solve problems in booming fields.

Economics is a nice flashy minor for my friends who did accounting or Finance.

physics major + economics minor

Economics will probably land you a job in finance and will teach you to invest. How is that not one of the best fields to get money?

>Economics will probably land you a job in finance and will teach you to invest

lol economics is closer to statistics than finance. you have literally no idea what you're talking about.

I'm CS at a decent school (UC irvine)

I think I'm attractive (I have 2300 matches on tinder)

But I'm still super autistic and can't really pull the 8s and higher that I match with. Ugly girls are easy lays because I'm attractive enough to where they don't give a shit
About what I say. Girls have told
Me
I'm pretty weird
Before

CS is truly autistic. Every girl I tell usually says "ugh I hate computers " or "ugh my computer had a virus once and it took forever to fix, are you good at that?"

And yet he still married his cousin

>Coolest
Biology Concentration like genetics
Chemistry

>Least autistic
Medicine

>Most autistic
Math (waste of time), computer science (oversaturated)

The coolest is probably AI or machine learning DESU. Or robotics. You say you're working in any of those things that have been on the cusp of public imagination and people will be impressed.

Whatever faggot implemented the text replace for t. b. h. to desu needs to burn in hell

it was AI

>coolest/least autistic
Bio (Chad cool)
Physics (my personal definition of cool)

>most autistic
Physics or pure math

t. Phys major, I know we're trash but I like it

How does pure chem rank in your guy's opinions?

I've noticed that on my course there's a pretty wide selection of students. You've got your normies, your people who just goof of but you also hvave some people who are genuinely into the subject and of course some autistic people. Pretty balanced and varied.

Also
>mfw bitchy girl bitches about not getting extra time for an exam
>despite not informing anyone she has dyslexia
I'm not sure if she genuinely had it. She seemed pretty fine with things. But who knows.

pretty normie-tier. not bad but not physics or math or engineering. you'll be accused of being a stamp collector.

I don't remember subscribing to this blog.

3rd year chem undergrad speaking for my school

>50% premed sheep, nice people, academically insufferable
>disdainful or ignorant of relevant math
>zero knowledge of programming and its applications
>significant normie population
>1% of people who like physics and PChem and are competent at computation are the smartest guys in the room
>materials science is a weirdly open secret; saturation of biochem premeds means nobody knows how awesome it is

but pretty good overall. i've only met a handful of people who are completely socially inept and almost nobody is downright anti-social. i would trade for some highly motivated/niche interest engineering kids

CS is pure autism. Even the guys in theoretical physics and the more obscure fields of pure maths are less autistic. I mean, the others are shy and can't hold a conversation and have strange hobbies, but CS students have zero social awareness. 99% of CS undergrads is human trash. Close second is civil engineering, I have no idea why, then theoretical physics and pure maths.

EE, ME, CE are dudeweedlmao tier, normal phyics and applied maths are normies and statistics and bio students are mostly social butterflies.

t. CS grad

This. Don't say you're in CS, take a subfield and pretend that you want to change the world

>mfw statistics

EE dudeweedlmao tier? Really? Aren't they supposed to be like pic? I know CS undergrads are like that too, but that's already well stablished.
Also, Civil Engineering autistic? How so?

this is one of the less autistic engineers

>socially considered the coolest
People are generally very impressed by chemistry (my major) but not sure if it's "coolest". Probably something like quantum physics or aerospace engineering would be considered coolest.

What about EE?
Freshman next year and need to know.

one of the most autistic engineering degrees. prepare to have 30 pajeets for every 1 white guy in your classes.

physics is pretty fucking cool no matter who you're talking to. math? maybe not as cool. engineering? really depends on who you're talking to. I'm sure most guys would think it's pretty cool.

I really don't know how any straight white male could think physics or engineering isn't at least pretty neat, though, and I don't know what would top them.

barring civil and industrial, of course. they're stupid.

I would too tbqh

but she was a qt3.14.

Physics and MechE are probably considered the "coolest"

a lot of the general sciences are just meme pre-meds without much practical worth so they aren't talked about much even if there's still interesting stuff there

CS/EE and Math are probably the most autistic

You're going to give the same response you give other people when they tell you their majors: "Oh, that's neat."

Majors aren't cool.

doing a really hard major like engineering/physics/math but acting like it's no big deal, never talking about it, and having other hobbies and interests is what's cool. nobody wants to talk to someone that just talks about one fucking thing all of the time. i don't care if you are feynman or von braun.

>Petroleum Engineering
>Jobs

kek

Probably physics. Organic chemistry students know they're in good company, too.

Projected job growth for petroleum engineers is a lot higher than almost every other profession.

Medicine is cool, but you have to deal with fucking ungrateful cunts all the time, so - pros and cons to everything. Also, malpractice is insurance is waaaay high and also student debt.

WHY IS EVERYONE CALLING EE AUTISTIC?

Suppose it's cause the maths content is pretty hardcore, but the concepts are boring - ergo, only an autist would enjoy studying it?

Kek, majored in EE in college then did pure math for grad schol. I definitely agree eith this thread that we are the Alpha-Autists

>but the concepts are boring

What's boring about integrated circuits, robots, transmitters or power plants?

Honestly most women I meet think mathematics is pretty cool. Most of them do say "I was soooo bad at math lol" though.

We're talking about public perception

everybody is in love with iPhones, those things are a miracle of EE...

Depends on where you live. In my country petroleum engineers had a great perspective until 2 years ago. Then the greatest petroleum extration company in my country was caught in a corruption scheme and now petroleum engineers are pretty much jobless and no one even gives them praise anymore.

Studying it is not fun for most people though. I would really love being able to enjoy EE since it is one of the most difficult engineerings and the pay is good, but it seems that I am simply unable to like it.

well yeah but we're talking about perception right? I'm sure most people would go woah if you say you design those millimeter square silicon circuits with million tiny devices that make mobile phones work

Even in european universities?
I'm not amerifat

You shouldn't read engineering unless you love maths. Pure and simple. The workload is very heavy and maths is everywhere. And everything you learn is absolutely necessary if you plan to become an engineer. Electrical engineering is supposedly only second to a maths degree in terms of maths difficulty. I would hazard a guess that physics is probably somewhere in between, with more difficult concepts.

Given that americlapistan is an extremely anti-intellectual country society-wise, everything that requires some kind of abstraction is seem as ''boring''

come on the math is not that hard, I'm EE and the most complex stuff we regularly do is Laplace, Fourier and Z-transforms and stuff like that

why do you think there is a difference? euro "universities" are even worse.

You didn't cover PDE's or stochastic processes?

We did but those are mostly subjects you don't have to actually take and in their place you can take more relevant stuff to the engineering part of the degree, like material science stuff, technology etc. That kind of math is useful only to some more niche parts of EE. Laplace and Fourier is something circuits are actually built on, and Z-transform is needed for anyone working with DSP at all. Other than that its mostly basic Calc stuff.

Also I'm not saying EE is easy because the math is not that hardcore, but EE is not nearly as math heavy as I thought before I enrolled... maybe its heavier than mechanical or chemical, dunno about that, but the most difficult subjects are actually in the electronics and technology world, not the math itself.

If you don't want to spend your time in university studying maths, the next best thing would be chemistry.
Interesting shit, for sure.

My first B.S. and M.S. was in Aerospace Engineering... then the space shuttle blew up... now I build websites and shit post all day

>chemistry
reaction mechanism or more maths.

You should at least be working on some cool flight simulators.

What and have to actually work!!!
Nahh... shit posting and watching porn for 6 hours a day is better

How old are you? Why not become a fighter pilot in the USAF? Dream job - flying an F-22 raptor around everyday.
Have to be physically fit, though, obviously.

I do like maths. It's physics I don't like. I'm simply not interested in why a rock reaches the floor faster than a feather on Earth but their speeds is the same at the moon. Physics is just too concrete for me, I rather enjoy the abstraction of maths. But sadly that doesn't give you much money outside of finance.
I wish I enjoyed building computers and studying circuits. That way I could be like Elon Musk.

Older than your dad... I remember programming with punch cards... they were just building the space shuttle back then... my professor at the time was railing about the lies they told the public, "turn around time of one week", "inexpensive", etc.
