Why is engineering the most dominant field on /sci/?

If you go look at the type of people Engineering graduates are vs the type who do chemistry or biochemistry, you'll find they're pretty different cliques. Not because of the fields changing them - it's just the type of people those subjects. Just like you get obnoxious loud people studying drama, hippies in music and self-hating people in women's studies.

That's my anecdotal evidence from my uni though. I think the chemistry/biology/etc group are more fun to hang out with but I may be biased.

what do you mean "on /sci"?

in real life.

>>8569107
And here I was thinking all this time that mathematicians constituted the majority of /sci/. Turns out they are just very loud and obnoxious, and a poison to any kind of intelligent discussion.

Biochemist here. Work with a mixture of biologists and chemical engineers. The job needs all our skills.


By your powers combined.....

Why are there no pure chemists though, what is going on?

>>8569181
What are you talking about? There are more biology graduates per year than all engineering disciplines combined.

>>8569317
There are more chem fags on that poll than bio, what are you on about.

>>8569343
Ah, must've changed still I last looked. Still though, that disparity between biology and chemistry to the others is quite mysterious.

>>8569350
Pure blooded chemist here. We are very few sadly, the toxic mathematicians hate us and they yell loudly

>>8569350
My guess is most of them were driven out these past few years by field "banter" and shitposting. This is not the case nowadays probably because of recent advances, but it might be too late. There a few relevant threads here and there once in a while and they seem to get proper answers, so idk.

Come home chemist-san, we were only joking, we don't dislike you.

Apparently, Stack Exchange is better?

>>8569329
Indeed, but that's a good thing. We need more hot chicks at McDonald's to serve me while I work at Boston Dynamics.

>Apparently, Stack Exchange is better?
You misspelled stock exchange; the only thing that matters.

>>8569329
that's hard to believe

>>8569107
>where are all the chemists and biologists?
sitting at my desk, waiting for my DNA to purify

>>8569317
there are. I know people that work in chemical facilities, but they probably don't shitpost on flour chins

because its literally the most useful undergrad degree you can get.

it doesn't matter what you plan on doing as a career, whether its academia in some other field, working in industry, or working for yourself. its career insurance in case you don't actually get into that PhD program at Harvard. whether you achieve your goals or not, you can take that BS in engineering pretty much anywhere in the world and make a living.

that kind of peace of mind and versatility is worth way more than a few semesters of undergrad classes in muh pure science.
