Honestly, 60% of /sci/ is made up of overly expecting high school students that think because they have a 3.6 graduating GPA they're going to Harvard for nuclear engineering or some shit. The amount of shitposting about people's level of education here is astonishing, but then whenever we have a diploma thread, suddenly nobody is around to show a single degree over a couple Master's. Most are undergraduate degrees.

Fuck, I'd be impressed to see more than 5 high school diplomas posted itt.

I'll have my masters by september technically, but it's really just something I can give to my mom to show off to her friends. I'm in a phd program so another piece of paper doesn't matter unless it means they'll pay me more (it doesn't).

Yes, hotel administration is a big deal in Las Vegas, and having a Master's puts you in a position for executive level management in the casino industry.

You can post to /sci/, as well as enjoy science, without actually having a degree in science.

>>9022908
I'm not familiar with Vegas too much, but I'd argue that most of those high level executives are old Vegas boys that had some sort of foot in the door back in the day. Now you probably want someone with some level of qualification to manage your staff.

>>9022919
Not the case. Casinos promote heavily from within and most directors and VPs have unrelated degrees or no degrees at all, having started as literal maids, barbacks, etc. The unions hold a lot of sway in LV, and although management is not union, it serves casino interests to promote line level employees.

Also, having a degree in hotel administration doesn't really prepare you for managing within a casino, which is why most UNLV hotel grads start out as beverage supervisors, the same place recently promoted line level employees start their managing career.

Source: my brother is a VP at caesars and I worked in the casinos while I did my mechE undergrad at UNLV.

>>9022931
Neither is business. Some of the richest people out there never graduated high school, let alone college. But most business degrees are still effective at giving you an edge in the industry. I think it's like a paralegal or AAS degree. Where it's mostly something you go to school for to either advance a career you already started, or to do a job you already have better. Many employers will also encourage you to work on your degree, with offers to pay for school and pay you more. Probably to keep you in the field or have someone highly qualified working for them.

I'm not trying to totally discredit the program, because it does what it claims to do - it gets you a job as a manager in the casino industry in Las Vegas, but the idea that having a masters in it is a ticket to a VP (or higher) position is laughable, and really, shows a pretty high degree of ignorance in the area.

I don't know why anyone would want to manage in Las Vegas, anyway. The directors (a realistic goal for most dedicated career managers) cap out at around 100k, and have to put in awful hours to get it. I know so many kids who did hotel admin at UNLV and now work 12 hours a day as allow level management for 45k/year and they hate it:

Apply to all of them, which ever you get accepted to. Otherwise, a genius like you should be able to use USNews for rankings.

Don't pay too much attention to the rankings of programs, your top concerns are student quality of life, cost, distance, and available financial aid programs for your demographic. Also look and annual endowments to the program as well, as that's more important than where it ranks for most students.

Why would you not keep and frame a reminder of all of your hard work? At least you could show it to your kids down the road, I remember a study that showed a correlation between parents that displayed their achievements and their children's long term success.

1 year of unemployment with Magna cum laude in mechanical engineering !?
So your classmates with lower GPA had more trouble.

That's Why STEM degrees are Memes.
People say "Employment Guarantee after Graduating".
But even if your GPA is high, the market is saturated. There is lack of Jobs.

Programming is booming for a while. However Pajeet Outsourcing can kill the CS Jobs soon. The Hardware is already done by Chinks. Now Software would go to Pajeets.

If there is another Economic Crash in Tech Industry like the DotCom Bubble we are fucked.

Meanwhile Sillicon Valley Companies like Google spread the Meme on Media that
>We are importing Pajeets because there are ""not enough"" CS graduates in USA.
While the truth is that Google just want the Pajeets because they are cheaper.

Now Tech & Engineering companies are also replacing Technician & even Engineering Jobs with Automation.

Economic Crisis Fear is Real.

Harvard School of Engineering offers Electrical, Mechanical & Biomedical Engineering

Applied Math, Computer Science & Engineering, (Graduate) Applied Physics, Environmental Science.

Civil & Industrial which are for Plebs aren't offered.

I don't know why Chemical, Aerospace & Nuclear Engineering aren't offered. But Chemistry is offered.

I think it's possible to do a Minor taking classes from the Nearby MIT.

>>9024096
>I don't know why Chemical, Aerospace & Nuclear Engineering aren't offered.
All subsets of Mechanical. Besides, who goes to Harvard for engineering?

>>9024096
Those engineering disciplines aren't offered because engineering is typically a vocational degree. Harvard only offers lip service to STEM because otherwise they would lose out on star prospects to Stanford. Their computer science degrees, for example, are quite good. And with their recent $100+ million donation to the Engineering Department, the other fields may soon become competent as well. But Harvard was never known for engineering because MIT could always suit that niche.

>>9023962
I'd choose forensics way before real police work. Safer, great pay, using your degree, etc. CSAs/CSIs usually aren't sworn officers.

>>9023944
If a cop walked into your lab could he arrest you for possession of cocaine? Saying "no, I was just going to give it to animals" can't possibly make you immune to the crime.

>>9023937
STEM used to be the way to go to make real money, but it's only true if you get a graduate's degree or higher. A shitload of people have undergrads. That's why for undergraduate studies the best degrees are medical field majors like nursing, medical equipment techs, dental hygiene, physical therapy, etc.

Hell, right now where I live degrees that involve social work are really high demand right now, and there's a bunch of county and state hiring booms for social workers, both entry level and with experience. With a master's you can get into management and directorial duties, which are starting out at 70k usd/year and going up to like 90k. It's ridiculous.
>>9023545
Agreed. If you can't post proof of your education, don't bother shitting on others in this thread. You're automatically considered full of shit. Besides, I have my AAS in diagnostic medical sonography hanging in my home office. Even if it's sitting in a $7 Walmart frame, I don't see why you wouldn't want to hang your achievements up at home. It makes the walls look less empty.

My brother did this. Graduated HS with like a 3.7, had a bunch of extracurricular activities under his belt, was what I considered to be really smart, etc. I went to community college because of my shit grades, but I always figured he'd go to UF or FSU. Instead he got his fucking cdl.

Last year he made 90k and he wasn't even working full time. I'm so fucking salty it's ridiculous.

>Instead he got his fucking cdl.
>Last year he made 90k and he wasn't even working full time. I'm so fucking salty it's ridiculous.
Should've done this desu. I mostly went into engineering to make cash and to be left alone. I've got that now, but I'd be farther ahead financially as a driver.

At least truck driving will likely be automated first.

>>9024137
Harvard is looking for future leaders, inventors, all that meme. They only offer the engineering degrees conductive to inventing the next big thing, so EE for electronics, BME for medical breakthroughs/devices, MechE for MatSci but more flexibility (notice that they have far more MatSci professors than MechE ones despite the fact that they do not offer a MatSci degree, there is a clear focus on that) and CS for Silicon Valley. There is an option for EnviroE because its the part of Civil they actually care about, as they are a bunch of liberals. No ChemE because its focuses (MatSci & EnviroE) are already covered by MechE/EnviroE and has inferior job prospects, no AeroE because MechE is better, no NukeE because again they are a bunch of liberals and if they want to figure out Nuke Fusion then their physicists or MIT's physicists are going to figure that out rather than NukeEs.

Also their department will be great by default because they have metric assloads of money, the ability to easily get amazing professors, and the ability for students to just take classes at MIT.

Lots of state schools offered a full ride or close to it, the school I ended up going to offered a full ride for National Merit and I also got another full ride academics scholarship from them. Between the two scholarships I ended up getting like $100k in free money, it covered tuition, books, housing, food, fees, and pretty much everything except the parking passes. I'd say it was well worth it even if it meant not going to a big name private school or whatever.

And the quality of an education can differ vastly from person to person, and is especially dependent on the faculty they end up working with. People in this thread (and in general) shit on CSUs hard, mostly because the students are kinda shitty who go there. But there's plenty of amazing researchers at those universities just waiting for a determined student to come their way. I was one of those.

I spent so much time and effort on this, and the best job I could come up with was district management. I make 1300/week when most of the guys I graduated with are making twice that. My only hope for promotion is either someone above me dying, or getting an MBA and transferring to operations.

It might seem like first world problems, but it sucks to put in so much time and effort to see younger guys drive better cars to bigger houses while you live alone in an apartment and drive an accord.

>>9025529
Dude you are making ~65k/year starting, you are ok. Just treat it as a springboard to a better job, and don't procrastinate on that. Also get that MBA in a few years, it will really up your earning potential to the 100k+ range which is a fantastic place to be.

>>9025536
Do you realize how much that shit costs? I just paid off my most of my student loans by living on ramen noodles in a shithole simply because I didn't want them weighing me down the rest of my life.

You are still making 65k a year and have payed off your loans putting you in a far better position than most of your peers. You are also making a very high salary for your early career and if you save for an MBA have the potential to make a fuckload of money later.

Only a select few people immeadiately start making mad cash. Even Goldman Sachs hires don't start ramping up until they are approaching 30 and have a MBA.

Really? They have 40k+ students enrolled every year, I wouldn't think they'd have a problem.
But if you're from out of state they probably want that 2x tuition multiplier.

>>9025613
It was in the Northwest territories when it was founded, and I really wish I didn't have to explain this to everyone.

My only solace is at least UChicago gets similar shit from people who think they're a state school.

For a while I viewed UCB as some place where gods among men would go. But the students there are still throwing a temper tantrum like the psychopathic adultchildren they are.

Funny how appearently these MIT grads couldn't connect a simple battery to a light bulb.

>the vast majority of the human population, including many groundbreaking scientists, don't go to an ivy league school
They pad grades anyway, so who the fuck cares? These schools cost hundreds of thousands to attend for a level of education equal to what you would get at a good state school. The difference being the opening for jobs immediately after due to elitism. Besides, after only a few years of work in your desired field, your merit is based on the work you do and how well you do it, and nobody gives a shit about what school you went to anymore.

Also, post diploma.

>>9025608
The reason you're getting emails from every school is because of Phi Theta Kappa. Part of their benefit is supplying universities with your information, and sometimes even supplying your transcripts as well. The reason they even offered you membership is probably because your college supplied them with your transcripts, as they do every year, in order to benefit high gpa students to help ensure success from their schools. This translates to universities that like what your transcripts say offering you tours, discounted tuition (but still out of state), and the opportunity to apply for grants and scholarships.

Honors societies really do help people build careers, especially for people who don't heavily do internships or other entry-level extracurriculars during their studies, which is what comprises the vast majority of community college students. People that work part/full time in something else while attending to advance their educations.

You're the most pretentious little fucking shit, I'm serious about that. You're making up excuses for why you haven't been successful instead of forcing your way into success with a smile on your face. Force your way into a good college, force your way into a high GPA undergrad, force your way into an amazing top tier graduate program because of undergraduate grades, and there you have it.

I can't believe how many people on here have business degrees, though. Lol. Bruh, you're not part of STEM because you have a bachelor's of "science" in business or economics. No wonder the threads here are popsci and calculus homework help

What does /sci/ think about and b undergraduate degree in biotechnology?

>>9026781
Only really for engineering, because it being a BA means the vast amount of requirements for the degree were probably changed and/or its not ABET accredited. I am not including CS in this as its pretty much the same for BA and BS.

>>9026916
It's a diploma thread, you can enjoy science without studying it in school.

>>9026129
That was my post you're referring to. And I know what the MIT battery thing is too. They went around to people who don't actually spend time putting shit together and tricked them with a request to light a bulb with not enough wire. They likely cherry-picked the responses they got. All in an effort to make fun of intellectualism.

If somebody did that to me on my graduation day, I wouldn't have passed it either. I was high as balls. You shouldn't judge a huge number of people by what one asshole with a video camera does. And you shouldn't judge a school by seeing if all it's students know how electricity works. In many cases, that's not what they were there to learn. You should judge a school by it's graduate program. Those are the people who do all the work.

What do ethnic and gender scholarships have to do with academic scholarships? That's two separate things. You can probably take whatever test you want, but as far as National Merit you only get one shot your junior year of high school so you're out of luck there.

>>9027646
I can only find a handful of scholarships for academic merit, someone on reddit mentioned they are a dying breed. I mostly find ethnic or gender scholarships despite being a white male, not even transgender scholarships since I could just ID as demiboy or some shit.

You're partially right, but going to a top-tier undergrad is still a pretty solid indicator of intelligence. There's a reason that 50% of my professors went to the top 1% of universities, especially for grad school. >>9026303 is correct that this is pretty class based though.

>These schools cost hundreds of thousands to attend for a level of education equal to what you would get at a good state school.
This isn't entirely true if you're doing undergraduate research. My PI in undergrad looked specifically for grad students coming from labs she was familiar with at schools like Berkeley because she knew the quality of the research they were doing.

At the end of the day, your terminal education is typically what matters the most, but building a solid network in undergrad is never a bad thing. There's a reason why there's a correlation with success and undergraduate education.

>>9027829
Good point, I should not focus as much on how shit it is for me.

She lives in a community sober living house and has been beaten on numerous occasions by this black guy who wants to be her pimp. She won't file charges or restraining orders though.

There's some truth to this - I had a lot of trouble getting a first job, and the interview that finally got me hired was one for a job I thought I didn't want. I went in to this part-time job interview with the intent of just getting some interview practice, told them that I'm much more interested in a full-time position than part-time, and that I was sitting on another offer so I needed a decision within 3 days.

That afternoon I was told that they want me, and the next day I got a formal offer for a full-time position as a structural engineer.

UNC is a top 5 public university, but it's #30 in the country, in "universities" which already ignore elite colleges like Amherst.

>>9028935
You need to look at program rankings, overall rankings don't really mean shit.

>>9028935
UNC is higher ranked in its individual graduate departments. It's a much better school than Amherst overall in terms of research output and overall academic quality. It's highly ranked in many graduate departments and is well respected among all universities. It's a better school than most of the universities in th US outside of the Ivies. In NC it's seen equal to Duke but cost less. It's even ranked same as Duke in CS.

Penn state has a top notch mathematics program and other areas of engineering. You are looking at overall rank when you should be looking at individual departments.

You know nothing about US colleges to tak so much shit about UNC. You couldn't even get in if you applied lmao.

>>9029043
DESU I attended Duke and other public schools. I saw very little difference. Even at the graduate level UNC and Duke math students IMO are comparable.

You keep going on about rank #30 ignoring their higher ranks in ondocidual departments. A achool's overall rank doesn't mean much to me. You look at the professors there and their research.

Also. If you aren't a brainlet you can work with professors from MIT even if you go to another school. If you're good it doesn't matter where you go. Someone I know graduated undergrad from a public and now they teach as a professor at an ivy.

I agree, unfortunately hiring committees, grant awarding committees, tenure review boards, and everyone else are too chicken shit to know this.

The best school I ever attended for any class in terms of *teaching* was a public school not in the top tiers.

I don't think you and I disagree. I just have never seen this matter in important things. Over a beer, everyone admits this though.

There is a lot wrong with this post. But the idea you even need to go to X school to en smart is false.

Abstract algebra is going to be taught the same no matter what school you go to. If you're smart you'll learn the material in class, or sometime after class, whether that be after you took it, during the course, or before you take it.

The point is you'll see the same theorems as you would at any school as you would at MIT. The difference is whether you as an individual will learn it.

A top student will show themselves to be top one way or another. They will stand out. It doesn't matter if they went to a low ranked school or not. The field of math does not care what school you went to. They only care how you are as a mathematician.

One of my professors went to a really low ranked undergraduate school. One you'd shit ALL over. He ended up won a PhD from MIT. Know why? Because he's good. He's really, really good. His undergraduate school did not determine his life path. His sheer ability pushed him at the top.

I took the test as a sophomore and I guess I did well on it so my school district put me in this free class with all these other kids who had done well from other schools to try to get us all to make national merit. The guy who did the class gave all the tricks and stuff to do well on standardized tests so the next time I took the test as a junior which is the one that counts for National Merit that shit was easy. I guess he did a good job because probably like half the people from my high school in that class ended up making national merit, and I've scored at or close to the 99th percentile of every SAT or ACT or GRE or whatever standardized tests I've done. And I'm not some genius or anything, you won't see me bragging about my IQ and shit on /sci/.

Standardized tests are bullshit, they're a test of your test-taking skills more than any actual knowledge. It's pretty pointless to study the actual content on the test because it's easy, you just need to treat it like it's a game you need to crack.

>Does the guy that posted his two year arts degree have a more credible opinion because he has a diploma?
Criminal Justice is probably the hardest "arts" major you can study. He also graduated with "high honors". I assume the requirement is at least like a 3.6-3.7 like Magna Cum Laude.
As far as I'm concerned, he has more room to speak here than someone who doesn't have any proof of education.

I'm considering UW Madison for grad school, would you recommend it?

>>9029690
Absolutely. In no case would someone post in this thread "I'm considering X college for grad school" in which I would not recommend it. Apply to your top picks of schools and see where you get in. If you get into UW, that's amazing. If you get into UNC, that's amazing. If you get into Arizona state, and it's the best college you applied to and they have a good program for your desired field of study, then congratulations, go there. I don't believe in college elitism. You get a graduate degree from any university that isn't some unranked, unnamed, unpublished shithole and you're doing amazing for yourself.

>>9029720

I'm all for this in undergrad, but I think that once you get to the graduate level you need to be realistic. Going to a school that isn't in the top 50 (or maybe top 25) likely isn't best for your future and might even be a waste of your time. If you intrinsically enjoy your field of study then by all means go for it but don't be delusional about your career prospects and understand that at this point you're in it for the lifestyle moreso than contributing significantly to science.

Of course there are edge cases, certain professors at lower ranked schools are doing really important research, but those are exceptions rather than the norm.

>>9028977
>>look at individual departments
he's right though. Purdue may be ranked #60 in the US for all universities, but it's ranked in the top 10 for graduate and undergraduate engineering programs, and its nuclear engineering program puts out more publications per faculty than MIT's. UMich's nuke program is the best in the country. Penn State has very good engineering programs as well, as does GA Tech, and a number of state schools that don't fair very well in terms of overall rankings

>>9029782
Same holds true for NC State University. It has a top 10 Nuclear Engineering Program and a high ranked Engineering department in general. Top 15 in Statistics. It also has probably one of the best libraries in the country on its engineering campus.

I think it's the other way around tbhfam.
I went to school with someone who declined an offer to do his doctorate at MIT, and chose to come to Purdue instead.
In the real world, there is much more to choosing a grad school than rankings (PI, research goals, funding, recent work by the dept. etc.)

>>9029793
Of all the people I went to school with during undergrad, the only two schools that people I knew ended up going to for grad school (nuke) were Michigan and NC State. Very good programs.

>>9029810
Well said anon.

>>9029690
What are you planning to study/what kind of research. They have excellent medical physics and nuclear engineering programs. Good chem programs as well.

>>9029819

Chemistry, specifically inorganic

I banged a Harvard student. Does that count?

What the hell do rankings mean anyway?

UIUC has the #1 condensed matter physics graduate program, #2 materials science, #5 computer science program, #2 computer engineering program, #4 electrical engineering program, along with a slew of other shit.

But the undergraduate students here are still retarded because the school literally takes anyone and everyone.

If anything, student selectivity should be the most important factor in judging the quality of the institution.

>>9030885
>If anything, student selectivity should be the most important factor in judging the quality of the institution.
Not a chance. Student selectivity just makes elitist schools like ivys and stanford, but doesn't necessarily guarantee quality research output, good professors, quality graduates, etc.

>>9030889
>quality research output, good professors, quality graduates

I suppose all these things just fall out of the sky then?

Or maybe, it has something to do with the quality of the people who are actually at the university.

Step aside brainlets, real school coming through. Cost <$10k total because I had almost a full ride

>>9031408
Okay so the GI Bill actually worked? I was thinking of going into the navy or air force with an associates in a hard science or tech but I don't know if I will get screwed out of money and be legally obligated to get shot. I don't know much about the system and on here people are brutally honest about their situation(probably). The people I have asked are biased about the system and asking them about the military is like asking what a jew thinks of money(just an example not actually hates jews but wanting to get point across)

>>9031572
How did you get a full ride?

>>9031572
Noice job m8 wish I could've gone there

>>9031619
An associate's might mean warrant officer at best, and that's usually only technical degrees. I don't know where you'd go hard science.

We have a volunteer force now, but if war goes apeshit in the next decade people will stop wanting to join.

>>9031638
Would the GI bill work to pay for bachelors degree if I had a associates degree in a technical field?

Hahahahahahahahahahahaahah

I feel like a retard getting a CS & Physics degree at a private liberal arts school where Im going to graduate $100k in debt. Its too late for me anons Im fucked I just hope I can get into a great grad school for physics

It really depends whether or not you're in the honors program or on main campus.

If you have neither, then it really isn't worth shit.

t. im in one

I'm going to transfer to University of Florida to finish off my civil engineering degree, just wondering if I should shoot for a double major in construction management as well. I feel like it will keep my career from stalling out early on.

>>9032059
>I feel like it will keep my career from stalling out early on.
What is your long term goal? A masters in civil engineering seems like a larger career move than construction management, but I don't know shit about either.

>>9032059
At least minor in construction management. While you won't stall without it immeadiately its good to have. You also kinda save your masters for something like a MBA if you want to massively increase your earning potential by going into the business aspect of whatever civil field (really construction)

>>9032059
Do it. A construction management degree will help open up all those juicy management positions.

>>9029489
wait you took the test twice? damn at my high school we only took PSAT sophomore year once. Lived in midwest bumfuck state so only like 1 person even got semifinalist for our school.
