You could have earned so much more. Why did you choose STEM over easier and monetarily better fields?

That's fine, you do you and the rest will do what they will. If making money and being extravagant is your thing that's fine.

Zuckerberg was a psychology major. He took a course in computer science.

the fuck, where are you getting these budget pajeets from? Anyone lawyer worth their salt is charging $800+ easily. Otherwise you're just getting some generic lawschool dropout bullshit

And that is the sound of pure meth majors eating crow.

Thats the starting in a good lawschool

You going to UCB?

Eh, I just wouldn't enjoy the moneymaking jobs, I'm like that. Sure, I only make a shitty 45k or whatever as a physicist, but it pays for rent and food.

I cherish the simple life.

lmao what? When shit hits the fan at least scientists and engineers will be able to figure out how to live sustainably, while the lawyers and businessmen will scavenge through shit for there next meal.

Yeah but if you go to business school you don't get to talk about the Laplacian operator

I don't care. I go to college to learn the cutting edge of human knowledge. If I cared about money or sex I would day trade Bitcoin and fuck prostitutes

Hey, thanks man! And good luck to you too

Every doctor I've met, aside from the odd surgeon, has been an utter moron.
As in, I, only with a passing interesting in medicine know more than most of them and have to correct for their errors (just so they don't get in trouble and fired).
They do nothing but memorise and reuse another persons analytics just because it loosely fits symptoms.
They're akin to undergraduates plugging and chugging.

>Money is all that matters.
When the world goes to shit, which it will and even billionaires in their bunkers are fucked.
The engineers and the scientist will be the ones to save themselves and those around them.
Money isn't everything you moron and when cryptocurrency replaces reserve/central banking, those hucksters are really going to go the dirt (like they should).

Wasnt steve ballmer (microsoft) also a Harvard Math major? I dont think he dropped out though

I too browse HN

>Why did you choose STEM over easier and monetarily better fields?

Good question. As for the answer, there is a simple and a complicated answer.

Simple answer: I found out I was good at math as a kid, then as an adult I found out people paid middle class wages to mathematicians. Therefore, I will become a mathematician.

Complicated answer: Sure, I could be more than middle class if I went into medicine or law or business but the thing is that is that in those fields, I would actually need to work.

Sure, you can be someone who "loves the business of business" (as so many businessmen like to say) but at the end of the day, business is not completely about being creative and executing great ideas to then see some numbers grow. You will eventually need to settle things in court, do vicious competition with other companies and sacrifice a lot of your well being for the well being of your company.

The same goes to law and medicine. There is no field in which you can completely indulge in for fun other than mathematics. Therefore, I chose mathematics.

Eventually everyone needs to make a list of everything they value

>love, money, territory, popularity, fame, time, health, happiness

And order it to your tastes, and then depending on how high money is in it, you choose what you become.
>happiness
>health
>time
>territory
>fame
>money
>popularity
>love
