Why is society designed to hugely reward well-rounded people who are good in everything, while punishing those who are really good in one area but failures in others?

If you're well-rounded and have decent grades in all high school subjects, expect full ride scholarships, admission to the best colleges, and lots of awards.

If you're like me, with straight A's and chemistry and math but failing history and english, expect to end up going to community college and having failed potential, because apparently society judges the competency of a chemist by how well he can write a literary analysis essay on boring novels from the 1930s. Society judges a potential mathematician by how much he knows about the causes of World War 2.

I could be such an amazing chemist, and yet I'm held back because I don't care about writing essays and comprehending novels and memorizing everything that happened in the world wars.

I'll be posting from fucking community college in a few months. All the adults in my life said I'm very smart, and I'm just a regular old dumbo because of history and english, meanwhile I'm excelling in chemistry and math and no one cares. Society doesn't appreciate specialization anymore, unless you plan to be a plumber or work in the trades.

Your lack of intellect is showing. If you were truly smart like you claim to be you would know how you could get into a University to study chemistry. But you are truly a brainlet, so you'll probably never figure it out.

>If you were truly smart like you claim to be you would know how you could get into a University to study chemistry.

I can't get into a university. My acceptance into a chemistry major is about to be rescinded because I'm failing english and history.
>>
>>36026062
Like I said you are truly a brainlet. You can get into University to study chemistry. You're just too much of a brainlet to see the obvious truth in front of you.
And know I'm not going to tell you the answer that will solve your problems. Figure it out for yourself if you're so damn smart. I see it, so why can't you?
>>
>>36026120
>You can get into University to study chemistry.

You can't get into university to study ONLY chemistry and nothing else.

The system is designed to give you only a MAJOR, which means a lot of classes are still stuff like english and history that I struggle with.

Even if there is a such thing as "University of Chemistry" the degree would be rejected because only well-rounded people with a degree from many subjects get respect.

>Society doesn't appreciate specialization anymore, unless you plan to be a plumber or work in the trades
I don't think that is true. People have never been more specialized in their jobs than they are today. It is just something they do in high school, because they figure that people haven't decided what they want to specialize as yet.
>>
>>36026212
My point is that universities will retardedly look at your high school transcript and go "Welp, this person who wants to major in chemistry, sucks balls at history. Better not let this dumbo in OUR university!"

And even once you get in, you will constantly be evaluated on HISTORY performance, and if you do bad in the history classes that you are forced to take, you will be expelled from college and no longer allowed to study chemistry.

It's a fucked system. Why can't we specialize in one subject?
>>
>>36025916
This just a lack of discipline. If you were disciplined you'd do well in everything. Smart people can write essays as well as they can solve partial differential equations or determine where the series converges
>>
>>36025916
So you go to community college and only take the classes you want and get straight A's and then get into Harvard for the final two years and you get your degree from Harvard.

But to answer your question, it's more a test to see who can be a perfect wageslave than who is competent. If you're not good at doing pointless bullshit that you don't enjoy, you won't be an effective wage slave so you are punished.

Fucking faggot. The brainlet was supposed to figure that shit out for himself. Now he'll never progress past being a brainlet.

It does show that a person is willing to study things that don't interest him. A lot of the stuff you learn in universities probably won't be interesting.

This alone proves you're really not that smart
Those are piss poor easy subjects unless you're studying the higher level shit for a career in those fields

Shouldn't OP do the opposite, get the boring stuff out of the way in community college, and then study chemistry in a good university with research labs

Having an "A" in high school subjects is not "well rounded," it's "not being fucking retarded."

If you can't get an "A" in every single high school class regardless of subject you are a straight up fucking retard. High school is so god damned easy. If you miss an assignment you can complain to your fucking teacher and get full credit for a late assignment. If you don't show up to school someone calls your fucking house and makes sure you get all your assignments. High school is a fucking joke.

If you're failing HISTORY and ENGLISH? Holy fucking shit, you're just lazy as fuck. Those are the biggest blow-off classes ever. You'd have to neglect to do your homework in order to FAIL a high school class. Just doing all of your homework is enough to get you a C in those classes.
>>
>>36025916
>"I don't care about writing essays"
Oh so you basically didn't do your giant writing assignment worth 20% of your grade. That's the only way you could fail high school fucking english. What a joke. Reported for underage.

Doing things you don't want to isn't a good thing.

University is a kike scam to indoctrinate young adults into becoming wage slaves. Doesn't matter if you excel in something you still have to go through LGBT 101 to make sure you aren't a racccist.
>>
>>36025916
>Studying subjects you shit at in hs
>Americlap education
English is mandatory where I lived but other than that you choose whatever you want.
One of my mates finished hs getting 40% in English but he still got a free ride into a super competitive vet med program because he aced the other subjects he did: Maths, more Maths, Chem and Phys.
>>
High school level chemistry is nothing you fucking retard. If you think you're a genius for being good at high school chem and math, you're mistaken.

You're an actual mouth breathing retard for being unable to pass such easy courses.
>>
>>36025916
Society doesn't care "anymore"? Because you, with the Godly perspective you have obtained from being alive for 16 tiring years, have an understanding of the societal context "before" now? You are admittedly bad at history and don't care about it. How do you know what the past was like?

Also your assertion is false; my high school told me explicitly not to be an all-rounder, because colleges prefer to see excellence in your intended major with on-par grades in the rest.

You're not a "specialist" in math and chemistry, you're just someone who doesn't give a fuck at all about school and only cares in 2 subjects. That's how colleges view you. If you could even manage Cs in your classes then colleges might appreciate your math and chem scores but until you start passing classes nobody gives a shit. High school is so easy I would have to try to fail a class in high school. Just do your assignments nigga.
>>
>>36025916
Pretty much the only thing society cares for is your appearance and how social/open you are. If you don't have connections, you'll be a failure, and the only way to get connections is to be attractive and open.
>>
>>36026617
That's not true. The most important part is how much money you can make someone.
>>
>>36026555
>>36026176
And all this bullshit about doing subjects outside your major even in university ... fuck that. I can only imagine it's a way of slowing your progression through university so they can get more money out of you.
>>
>tfw I'm failing my fucking classes even though I know FUCKING everything already
It's not even being "smart but lazy" I just outright refuse to fucking do since I know the shit already, it's what I've been practicing my entire goddamn life day after fucking day since it feels like such a waste of my time which could be better spent doing shit I DONT know how to do
Well for English and shit like that

>>36026645
That's a side factor compared to social skills and social skills greatly increase the money you can make
Go check out upper management for any business. Being good at golfing and making connections is far more important than actual knowledge

Specialization is for insects.

And seriously, HS English is easy as fuck. You can even be a fagmaster and read cliff's notes if you think you're too important to read The Great Gatsby.

Same deal with History. Just skim the textbook and make notes of major eras and people. The Fertile Crescent, etc.
>>
>>36025916
It sounds like going to community college for 2 years is what OP needs. Textbook case of "I'm smart but just too lazy to achieve anything with my intelligence"

Not everyone is mature enough to go straight to a 4-year university. OP needs time to mature, and community college provides a nice 2nd chance.
>>
>>36025916
>Society doesn't appreciate specialization
It does, you just have to be better than only getting good grades. If you were actually the geenius you think you are, you would have done some research in chem or proven some theorems and maybe been an Intel STS finalist and had Harvard Stanford and MIT sucking your cock.

Instead, you just sit around being arrogant and whining on 4chan instead of accepting reality and shitting out a couple hundred words on The Great Gatsby so you can achieve your goals. Why shouldn't universities expect a retard level understanding of civic affairs btw? You still have to be a functioning member of society and be able to communicate your ideas, dipshit.

That's because the manager has to manage, he doesn't do the groundwork. You can be ugly and still be good at managing though.

Came here to say this

Someone like OP, if they go directly to a daunting 4 year university with pajeet teaching assistants with heavy accents who don't care about you, will probably drop out within a year and end up either a construction worker or stripper, depending on gender.

There's nothing wrong with community college if you need time to grow/mature.

Meanwhile
>Have loved history since childhood
>Go to college
>Show myself capable of researching/editing/writing long papers on obscure topics
>Had to prove basic STEM competency - Math, Symbolic Logic, Astronomy, Geology, Biology
>Even demonstrated diplomacy and BSing skills by passing mandatory diversity classes like "sociology of race"
>Sorry anon, we only hire autistic savants completely specialized in STEM

At least my STEMlord friends are all getting replaced by Pajeets. One even had the nerve to tell me I'm spoiled by my state job(library).
>>
>>36026906
The sad thing is that OP doesn't realize without the concept of a language, and the ability to record the language he wouldn't have his precious chemistry. History and English literally enable you to learn the things you are learning.
