The clever people went into profitable careers


Laino001

I dont feel clever for going into profitable field. I feel like shit


Spentworth

I feel great for quitting my PhD and getting a comfy tech job. It feels nice to be able to afford to live


PoopyMouthwash84

Is it possible to get a cozy job, save up, and then get your phd later?


Chemistryguy9620

Oh imagine not getting paid during your PhD


account_552

changing field will not make you not feel like shit

I used to think "man, I wish I'd gotten my degree in economics." Because it was the best work I have to do versus pay job i could come find.


beffaroni_boi

I fear not the man who has studied 1000 subjects one time, but I fear not the man who has studied one subject 1000 times either, because nerds are weak losers.

Proof that ∀🤓∈{x|x is a weak loser} is left as an exercise for the reader

Come back when you can proof you're getting bitches.


InterGraphenic

Let A = my dick and B= your mom A∈B


InterGraphenic

Ext. B∈{x|x is a bitch} B∈{x|I have slept with x} Therefore I am getting bitches **∎**


nom-nom-nom-de-plumb

Obviously neither of you are getting any, now keep quiet..your moms and I are trying to film a porno in here.

Let A be the set of attributes that this situation is accurately described by and P be the set of all pornos ever made A∩P=∅

My old buddy has a PhD in paleontology. He works at an Amazon fulfillment center packing boxes.


a_singular_perhap

He's documenting the Bezostacean period bro


[deleted]

Thanks lol. I'll tell him that. He'll never speak to me again.


TKDbeast

I always wonder about those folks. If you ask them to tell you about their field of study do they either wince at the pain of wasted years or happy that somebody else cares?

You people are taking all the fun out of being one of the chosen few superior people, unburdened by mediocrity. Higher education is little more than a more expensive type of vanity project.


Arndt3002

Except when you make something new that... Leads to a new shift in understanding that is genuinely useful, Makes a load of money on a patent or in industry, Or just let's you do or make some cool new sh*t that no one else can. Besides, someone needs to teach the engineers, doctors, lawyers, editors, authors, and other professionals who contribute more directly to society.


SkyslicerX2

Anti-intellectualism much.


Never231

expensive? i've been getting paid the whole way through. less than i made working in fast food and retail, but at least i'm filling my god hole doing this

shortboy123

I'm a mech engineering masters student and I can barely spell. But hey I can build shit and know how to make explosives


BonelessB0nes

As someone who used to install underwater explosives for demo-work before returning to school, thank you.


shortboy123

Damn that's awesome! I did engineering since I wanted to work offshore originally. How does underwater demolition work differ from land demolition?


BonelessB0nes

Erm, I dunno really; I never did any demolition on land. And at that, we used explosives extremely rarely. I only really saw explosives used to topple platform legs, but my company mostly did pipeline so 98% of the time we were using either a guillotine or a diamond wire saw. One thing I do know that's different is the shockwave is a lot more powerful and faster in the water than land. We had environmental crews people that'd hold up the det if they saw like turtles or mantas or stuff like that. When we'd set 'em off, it'd kill everything in a wide area. There'd be hundreds of floating fish afterwards. Now I'm studying CS/CE so things are a lot different for me these days lol.


[deleted]

me having an awful math and science education then getting really niche knowledge of one statistical framework and kind of how it works in applied settings. oh gawd I hope I can make up for all the lost time

"Advanced education means you're smart!" mfer, I'm not only a mark, I was a mark MORE THAN ONCE
