yeah a business degree is similar to a science degree haha down here in reality everyone i know with a stem degree immediately got a great job. immediately. every single one. denial ain't just a river in egypt. i know it's a hard field, and i know it makes you feel bad to know deep inside you couldn't make it in that world, but hey, go gently caress yourself

What if you are dumb though and can't do STEM at all? Sounds dumb to waste all of that money on education you can never complete instead of learning how to build your own drug business.

i find the easiest way to success is to figure out where the rich people live and then enter their homes when they sleep and hold a gun to their head waking them up and tell them to give me a lot of money or ILL loving KILL YOU I SWEAR TO GOD JUST GIVE ME THE MONEY AND YOULL LIVE ANOTHER DAY BUT I SWEAR TO GOD ILL PULL THIS loving TRIGGER, then they give you a lot of money and you run out of there hella quick some of them hire assassins to get their revenge at you but they're usually no big deal

STEM degrees are objectively worth less than liberal arts degrees unless you go postgrad the gently caress you gonna do with a bachelors in bio or physics homie. if its the former, have fun being an assistant lab tech making 25K a year with zero hope of advancement. if the latter, i dont know, you could be a part-time SAT tutor at the huntington learning center for $14/hr probably thathonkey posted:the worst thing about majoring in STEM is other STEM majors also this

Yes, college is worthless. Worthless for those with no passion or interests beyond video games and Kim Kardashian which accounts for 70% of people. Those people should just simply not attend college and fast track their way into service work or factory work. When they have the passion, then they should go to college.

UV_Catastrophe posted:lol these STEM vs. liberal arts debates are always hilarious This post understands the truth. I do both "science" and liberal arts work, and nobody is happier, and only seldom are the nuts and bolts people that much better off. Unless you work for the various entities that feed off of the fears of the wealthy. Then you're solid. Playing the neo-liberal game is getting a bit loving silly, and perhaps more so for the libarts people, but the engineers are like "Why sure I'll work on your ridiculous toilet, Bill Gates, why the gently caress not?" more often than they're actually creatively or intelligently solving human problems. Most hope for a job in the oil industry, and turn pale when their specialized hydraulics knowledge seems incompatible with renewables when gas prices drop. Likewise, while the liberal arts people were usually already crazy and loaded with cats, the engineers who hit the skids seem 50/50 resigned permanently to retail / off the rails insane. Nothing is more frightening than an intelligent, systematic mind that has been betrayed by the whimsy of economics. In other words, college is nothing more than a way to solidify your existing privileges or gain marginal access to new ones, and then only if you desperately, madly try. Sending everyone to college is well-intentioned, perhaps but ultimately poorly thought out. Sending everyone to community college may be a much better approach, but nothing is going to address the fact that primary education has gotten the poo poo kicked out of it worse than any college system (no ability to monetize kiddos like you can grad slaves and adjuncts; no secondary productive capacity), and people will therefore continue to be mainly more in debt, and seldom 'more prepared.'

nothing is more hilarious than engineers who are perfectly happy being cogs in the corporate machine, imagining themselves being superior to everyone who didn't make the same choice, and then seeing those very same corporations betray them. except maybe all the engineers who are glad to see corporations and politicians pushing to increase the number of people getting STEM degrees, too stupid to realize that the reason corporations and their kept politicians are doing it is to flood the market and drive down engineers' salaries.
