The unfiltered autism doesn't mean they're more "passionate", "intelligent", "dedicated" or whatever bullshit a professor or PI tries to sell.

STEM is superior. If you aren't STEM than you're major is essentially useless as it'll barely contribute to society in comparison to real majors.

>>34784397
>>34784404

To teach high school I'd need to get a teaching degree on top of that. In principle I'm eligible to teach in university, but I have to wait until someone dies and vacates a spot.

>>34784412

I know I fucked up. It's not like I didn't see it coming, but whenever I talked to a professor about switching to something more applied they talked me out of it on the grounds that anyone can do applied maths, but good pure mathematicians are very rare. I swallowed that bait like I did the "be yourself" bullshit in high school, which is why I'm here. Jobless as well as gfless.

>>34784520
>STEM is superior. If you aren't STEM than you're major is essentially useless as it'll barely contribute to society in comparison to real majors.
But you're just an undergrad, and all undergrads are scum. You have to at least have a degree before you can boast.

>>34784424
Thanks for the advice man. Think I'll stick with Chem though; I genuinely enjoy it and my ultimate goal is to be a doctor, so the undergrad major doesn't matter too much. Just wanted to make the thread so that other STEM-bots here could feel a little better about themselves tonight.

>>34784693

Because the army is one of the few employers left that operates on a "What can we teach this candidate?" rather than "What does this candidate already have 5 years experience of?" basis.

Well, art majors and regular (non-college) humans don't have relevant opinions. Other stem majors will recognize that you're smart if you're at least a third year student.

I don't know how you cam to that conclusion. I have an inferiority complex dude.

Why wouldn't a stem major be smart? Do you think that art majors are somehow as smart as stem majors? They have easier classes, yet somehow get lower grades. They cant handle simple math classes and straight up fail introductory stem classes like Chem 1.

Not all of them are smart though. My friend got a D in intro Biology and he wants to be a doctor. Kek. He doesn't volunteer or research either. Sorry about my rant dude.

You're inferior. Get your non-rigorous major ass out of this thread.

>>34786397
Doesn't invalidate anything I said considering that earlier, I stated that being a third year stem undergraduate would be considered smart.

see
>Other stem majors will recognize that you're smart if you're at least a third year student.
I was also referring to other stem majors' views on stem majors. Art fags don't have educated opinions, so your views on anything don't really matter.

>>34786399
>"Was just reminding you that you'll never contribute to society with your "education"
i.e. "you'll never be a cog in the capatalist machine, producing commodities every day that are sold as "original research" every day, just to be thrown away by society once your research stops making more toys for the masses to buy

lol, stem majors literally know nothing except chemistry or math or whatever they majored in. Liberal arts people are the ones who have the education that you're referring to. STEM is basically just the information age's version of the manual laborer. Liberal arts is where you learn to reason and think critically and be a good person and reach intellectual maturity.

>>34784520
>STEM is superior. If you aren't STEM than you're major is essentially useless as it'll barely contribute to society in comparison to real majors.
Dumb. There are lots of majors that are extremely useful that are not STEM. Law, Medicine are the most famous examples off the top of my head.

>>34784568
dude there's so much you can do with Computer Science, just buckle down and put the vidya on the back burner for a few years. It's worth.

>>34786055
why not? because everyone can be a stem major, you literally just checkmark a box when you're picking your majors. college classes are easy as fuck for the most part so graduating with a STEM degree is hardly an accomplishment.

There are obviously exceptions, like EECS at berkeley or CS at cal tech, but those are the rarity. Biochemistry degrees are a dime a dozen

>>34786565
Liberal arts majors get brainwashed

>>34787060
Medicine is STEM. I'm pursuing medicine after college.

>>34787233
I know the major is easy. Anybody can do it, but graduating with a high GPA is was separates students. I also don't intend to use my GPA for anything other than a stepping stone for medical school, so I do agree that it isn't a big deal.

Also, read >>34786718. You'll be able to tell that I'm a massive sperg (if you haven't noticed yet) and hopefully it humanizes me a little.

I need to get off 4chan. I have my honor's society induction tomorrow (today).

>>34787301
Nobody knows what your GPA is tm when you mention your major. Other students couldn't give less of a shit what you are studying beyond feigning an interest. Good luck with your premed hopes, I was in your shoes over 10 years ago

>>34787301
>Medicine is STEM.
Many elements of medicine involve STEM, but medicine as a whole is not STEM. That's the whole reason some people are pushing STEMM instead.

Bio bachelor, education master. It's a shame most of you didn't get NGSS/Common Core science, it provides a better education than university does for the sciences.

Replying just to let people know of other options.

Get a 2 year AA so that you can get a job working at a semiconductor factory or as a Field Service Engineer, or go military and come back to it. 50k-~130k, based on position, experience, and nightshift/ot.

I make 90k in Arizona, former military.

Calculus is intermediate math:

Basic Math == everything up and included advanced Algebra

Advanced math starts with Fourier Transformations and non-Euclidean Geometry.

I don't disagree. I never claimed to be an "average" robot... just that I enjoyed helping my fellow robots. As a 5/10 Aspie, I can at least relate. I am 100% convinced that fellow robots are more deserving of any help I can give than Chad is.
