Anyone here quit STEM professionally? I originally just came here because /diy/ was useless for calculations but now I stay because it feels good to sit back and watch all the rats gnawing at each other now that I am not one of them.

Id have stuck through ot all if it wasnt for the last one but the fact is there is no financial reward for throwing your social life away for chemistry.

OK, let's break this down:

>Elitism
Pure maths elitists are fooling themselves if they think they're employable, whereas engineers and technicians are some of the most down to earth people I've ever met
>Autism
The very definition of autism is a maths nerd. Applied scientists and engineers however are usually pretty normal in my experience.
>Study till you drop culture
It's study till you graduate culture, actually. What's the matter, kid, you still at school?
>Mundane lab work
Sounds like you chose a shitty topic of research. Scientific research is the most stimulating thing there is.
>Already been done
Read more literature and you won't get scooped like a amateur
>Endless exams
UnderageB& pls go
>Terrible social image
Stereotypes will change as technology becomes more mainstream. Geek culture has been mainstream for years.
>Cerebrotonic lifestyle
I had to google this because any normal person would have used the word introverted, (are you are trying to impress somebody?). Most people employed in STEM had to go through interviews and are therefore likely to have reasonable people skills.
>Shitty job market
Science and tech jobs are everywhere. They are competitive sure, but that just weeds out all the plebs like OP. STEM job opportunities can only grow with time so I have no idea what you are on about m8.

In conclusion: OP is faggot
>>
I have to agree that the competitive 'job market' sucks ass and if it got rid of, it would all be better off

Remember when OP got BTFO?

I do.

And the dogged refusal of STEMtards to accept that the field is full of cancer just like this post. I say STEM has issues I get shouted down with "hurr youre just not good enough" which proves my point about elitism.
>>
>>7731066
I'm guessing you are unemployed and bitter about this?

Well good luck getting a job outside of "elitist" STEM. Don't worry, there's no need to be a high standard graduate for a career in finance or law, i'm pretty sure they take just about anyone.

Great working hours apparently too - Lawyers and bankers don't work very hard and get loads of free time to spend on their healthy social lives.

OP, you are a retard.

sageing for useless shit.

You claim that you have people skills while you fail to understand that the recent prominence of geek culture in our society doesn't have anything to do with science and the effort you have to put into it at all. The new geek wave is an output of identity politics were people self ascribe certain traits to themselves in order to create an image of themselves how other people should see them.

What is easer to achieve being in STEM or following geek culture and watch every episode of Big Bang Theory?

If it would be possible to get taught STEM without learning like in Matrix, people would do it and everyone who would be capable of doing it without any help but only enough time will become useless.

This.

All professional careers are tough. STEM is pretty decent if you're intelligent because the work is less grinding and more creative problem solving, so if you're good at it you can have decent hours and make time for a social life etc. In law and medicine you are forced to labour until you die (or specialize).
