Is "study what you enjoy" a meme?

There are two kinds of mathematicians. Ones who actually like proofs, and ones who liked high school math and want to be teachers. The second brings down the IQ so buzz off.

It isn't a meme if you don't care to enter a specific career path and if you're not going into 30k+ of debt for your degree. If you just want a job, earning a college degree just makes it easier to get a job that isn't menial labor. If you want more money, you'll have to bust your ass there to earn the same amount of money that you otherwise would having a CS degree-- but you're at a much better starting point with a degree in English/History/etc than without it altogether, even if you aren't making 50k+ to start. If you're getting enough funding, absolutely miserable studying CS and young enough to allow time for growth in your career, I would consider the idea.

Im and undergrad CS and do "research" with a PI in the neuroscience school, although what he does is more behavioral/mental disorders and treatment oriented. Essentially I'm the equivalent of a contractor pitching in ideas without the background necessary for scientifically proving them, so not a true researcher. I just got really lucky with a PI that sees my input as useful and valid to his end goal.

Sure, that guy is an idiot, but the rest of the team is a bunch of idiots too
