>philosophy

The only kids who care enough to read philosophy are those who weren't smart enough for STEM.

Start with the Greeks.

Philosophy is harder than the average STEM subject. I say that as a STEM major.

Not really. You are just more likely to be paired with opinionated professors who are almost always guaranteed to disagree with you at times and hold you accountable with a low grade. If you are strong in your STEM field, you are almost guaranteed to end your collegiate era with a good GPA. In Philosophy, you are more likely to end with a mediocre GPA because philosophy is partial to opinions in many cases... I wouldn't major in philosophy. I got a B in my intro class and said fuck that.

You must have had shit professors. I got an A in my intro class and argued the fuck out of the professor. Honestly, to the point the rest of the class just shut up and let us argue. It was pretty pathetic.

Thanks. I don't get how anyone can think that putting glorified conceptual lego blocks together to meet predefined goals is a mark of intelligence.
