Useless degrees vs. STEM
Samuel Wilson
Anthony Rodriguez
The Military exists and will continue to for the coming decades, as does teacher's college. Society will always need more teachers to teach children "useless" information. Many "useless" degrees can also be used as stepping stones for further education in Law, Politics or business, which pay more and share a higher status than STEMfags who will be of no use in 20 years.

a STEM degree isn't automatically useful. Take it from someone who has them.
Most college grads in general haven't really studied hard and really don't know much of anything about their chosen field.
It's all about the individual, I know lots of people with worthless degrees who really busted their asses and had a game plan since day one, then executed it. And I know people with great degrees who are working in cell phone booths.
Your first question with any degree is: What do you want to do with it?
if you don't have an answer to that, then I wouldn't suggest college in the first place. The days of just having a college degree magically making your life better are over.

Any brainlet can do STEM if they put in the effort.

I got a degree in Philosophy
I'm currently going into a graduate degree in Computer Science
In five years time I'll probably be in the same position as any STEM major but I'll have the security of a foundation of Philosophic knowledge and considerations while they're neurotic messes looking for meaning in pointless rabbit holes

about to finish one myself. can you really go into computer science? i guess my formal logic course was pretty close.
i was also thinking of law. pretty versatile degree though desu.

jokes on you op one of my roommates works at starbucks part time and he basically plays video games, smokes weed, and fucks chicks all day.
op wishes he could live the barista lifestyle, but your dad made you do stem and now you have to waste your life in a cubicle, sad, but try not to get too resentful.

how did you deal with all the math requirements? i did a humanities undergrad, and my school made me do some basic calc and stats but thats not going to cut it at mscs level probably, that said i already work as a programmer so i probably don't need it, actually thinking about doing an mba so i don't get age discriminated into the poor house when i hit 40, sv is all about "diversity" as long as you're not old, lel.

>can you really go into computer science?
Yeah totally, its not going to be a thorough CS degree but its a year where I'll be studying specific modules towards program developement and will get a work placement. Its pretty sweet transition from just having a meme degree worth toilet paper.
>how did you deal with all the math requirements?
Guess my high school maths was enough for the moment. From my own experience in programming I doubt I'll ever come across anything that wouldn't be understood after googling a bit. Its not an MSC though to be clear though it can lead to one.
