if you're not a stem or medicine major you're literally nigger tier trash
Jayden Martin
>implying anyone actually enjoys their job
Logan Walker
Stem is for faggots who all want to try and be doctors. Go for econ or engineering, both god tier majors.
Mason Nguyen
Kek.
>muh theories >look at my paper guiez
Meanwhile I'm over here making bank in the trades, laughing at you tards while I bend you over for cash. >has engineering degree >cant make a fucking thing
Austin Lopez
I considered early childhood because I love working with children. Then I learned they make 30,000. Like fuck that shit I'm going for computer engineering earning more than double starting
Jaxon Ward
STEM is the best meme on this board.
Not STEM majors themselves; I have total respect for them. What they do takes talent and patience and it betters the world. It's the high school autists on Sup Forums that really get me going. The kids in AP Chem and AP Physics that have read The God Delusion 50 times are the best. muh starting salery yuh all retards STEM 4 lyfe
The best part is when these kids get their over saturated degrees and find out you can only get a job if you're a poo or a chink

Connor Wright
soooo I'm just old enough that it wasn't transparently obvious that a degree in anything not STEM was totally worthless, but it WAS clear to me that there was no fucking way I was going to pass the classes to study, say, chemical engineering
memes aside, was I supposed to just kill myself, or is it acceptable for plebs to accept their fates and study things like Spanish?
Jonathan Moore
I did engineering for a while but that shit is so boring and monotonous.
Switched to Econ with math minor and I love it
Brandon Rivera
>Spanish you're not going to be needing that much longer
Jacob James
>Stem is for faggots >Go for engineering You do know what the E in S.T.E.M stands for right?

Blake Evans
I'm gonna reach 100k this year and I'm a fucking sociology major. I just started working in a factory and used my experience and bachelors degree to move up to management. Basically, there's good jobs out there for anyone willing to look for them and work hard.
Charles Myers

Josiah Gutierrez
This picture is cancer.
Caleb Hall
I do. I work in R&D for an engineering firm, and we redesign tons of stuff.
Carson Morgan
I fell for the stem meme then stopped to launch a web startup with some friends.
Then I realised how boring websites are (we raised 500k usd and employ 4 ppl now) so I left and went back to stem.
Now launching a tech startup in NL
Brandon Hill
btw the offers I declined were about 50-55k euros (with healthcare and all)
Lincoln Rodriguez
tell us more
Why are websites boring? Why did you leave? Was the business successful? What is the difference between a tech and a web startup?
Chase Moore
> Be me > today > turn on the TV > see a nigger > who is this nigger? > Barak Obama > who the fuck is that? > literally a light skinned nigger in a suit > He is hanging out with some old lesbo on a stage > She is running for president > is he president? > is our president literally a nigger?
Christopher Nguyen
>1 post by this ID my stem job is cushy as fuck, and there is opportunity in a shit economy. the same can't be said for other STEMs or other fields.
the only people making those breakthroughs are in academia, and will be broke bernietards all of their lives so i will make the trade.
Henry Gomez
>60k starting That's the entire point, if it was enjoyable then it's wouldn't pay that much and would be flooded with women.
That said, if you are after money you should really only being to doing computer shit, or engendering/chemistry/bio for dat oil company money. Any one doing physics/math is a moron or just legit loves numbers and crap
Lincoln Thomas
retired on my 24th birthday because i was too stupid for college, knew it, enlisted and got BTFO in iraq
cool story bro
Jonathan Williams
>There are good jobs >In factories.
Until next year maybe. We will be 3rd world officially when pic related is handed executive power. We will be shit soon.
Jordan Watson
>got BTFO in iraq
did you died?
Anthony Phillips
I'm an electrical engineer and ya it's pretty boring. A bunch of mundane cubicle shit.
My first job out of school was a company that did work in refineries around the world. It wasn't EE but it was interesting work. Got to see some cool places and wasn't stuck in an office. I might go back to that job tbph. I kinda miss it.
Bentley Russell
leave troll.

who is it?
Austin Sullivan
>It seems like the only reason people do it is muh 60k starting.
Yea and that is going to go away once all the new graduates flood the market more than they already have and the H1B visas take more jobs.
Computer science is a meme.
Jack Torres
Websites are boring because what we did was an airbnb clone. So analytics, sem, seo, writing clickbait articles.
The fun part was dealmaking, partnership etc.. The entrepreunarial part.
Yes it was and still is successfull, I probably denied myself 1-2 M eur in 5 years and endless stream of pussy because we had comfy investors/ suport from city.
I left because I want to change things, With what I learn and work on (biotech) I can improve people's life meaningfully. Also, money for tech startup is really easy to find, raised 90k for nothing (EU grant).
Gabriel Long
What are the non MEME degrees then??
Is the world just too overpopulated at this point to get a decent job?
FUCK this gay earth
Joshua Cooper
how much do you pay in taxes? 40%?
Connor Robinson
cs fag here, my company passes over anyone with a H1B to hire an american because no one wants to do the work to hire them
we basically have no women working in dev and it's great
Joshua Collins
Bro, I went to NASA and saw some crazy shit. Gonna start co-oping next year. I got to research this awesome old dude's million dollar rocket that was the size of a beanie baby!
Basically, STEM is what you make of it. Engineering and Science are the funnest of the bunch, because you can actually see cool shit happen and you contributed to it. Math is a snorefest, but essential to all fields!
Jonathan Ortiz
Science Technology Engineering Mathematics
Ethan Lewis
It's dieded you fucking retarded faggot...
Kevin Morgan
try not living in such a cucked country. your country doesn't produce shit. start a business or do freelance work with CS until you can find some neckbeard to marry you in the USA
Jeremiah Roberts
Should I go with electrical, mechanical or computers?
I unironically don't know which way to go at this point.
Henry Carter
STEM is the only non meme degree
Jack Cooper
My dad's an IT security consultant, and an applications developer
Sometimes he'll get a client across the country, and he will work for them for like 2-3 weeks, then get another client after that
That's the only STEM I could see myself doing
Imaging that? Getting paid to travel and tell people what to do?
Other than that the only stem worth anything is medical, and you aren't going to break past the 110,000+ mark unless you have a master's in computer science
Lincoln Price
Civil Engineering master race. I might not discover planets, but I get to make your life worse with neverending construction projects.
Enjoy your perpetually under construction highways and remember that speeding fines are doubled when workers are present. Slow your roll.
Blake Morgan

Luis Miller
I'm a mechanical engineer and I love it. But I am one of the few that knew I would be an engineer since I was a kid. I was always designing, building, and taking things apart. So I pursued it and now I'm designing tooling for a great salary.
Elijah Ramirez
Any job in the medical world () is the most stable job.
Computer science coding can be self-taught at home, a ventricular restoration surgery can't.
Gabriel Price
what field do you want to work in?
i would look for jobs in the city that you want to live/work in and see what degrees they are offering jobs in.
ie if there is a ton of EE go for that
Ian Thomas
>Not doing Engineering/Business => Entry Engineering Job => Build Connections => Cushy as fuck management or CTO position / start-up using contact influence It's like you want want to abuse the system familam
Lincoln Moore
honestly, neither can CS. no one is going to hire a self taught cs guy because they can only make websites. you really learn a lot more at school that what they teach you on codeacademy.
15 years ago they would have, but not anymore.
Jaxon Scott
I can't tell you bro. I don't even know you.
Just go with whatever interests you more. However I will say you shouldn't just do it for money. You'll be miserable.
Landon Hernandez
I pull 75k/yr as a union pipe fitter. I'm 25. Zero debt because I didn't go to college. My cousin majored in chemical engineering and can't even get a job because he can't compete with chang and apu poo n the loo. He is currently working at save a lot.
Lucas Watson
Please tell me you're joking.
Thomas Lewis
>startup meme
Tyler Williams
They don't call it "work" because it's fucking fun, you goddamn lazy goon.
Ryder Jenkins
What does this even mean?
Levi Flores
>Civil Engineering How's it feel knowing you are the one the most meme engineering disciplines, only slightly better than environmental?
>You're never going to be the one who makes that breakthrough, discovers a planet or redesigns the computer.
ok
Kevin Cruz
I am a software engineering at a startup - I find system/algorithm design interesting work and it pays well. I can't think of much else that I'd rather do for money, especially not slaving away in a massive dimly lit air conditioned office filing reports for my boss from 9-5 until I commit seppuku (which seems to be like 90% of white collar jobs that pay decently.)
Samuel Gonzalez
Because learning is fun and it is more about a collective coming together to achieve the breakthroughs.
You are welcome to make your own theories, no one is stopping you. The great thing about them is that even if you're wrong, it's still a good contribution to science/maths etc and helps it move forward.
If you're interested in this sort of stuff, it is always changing, always advancing.
Austin Campbell
I'm a dual citizen; moving to the USA as soon as I graduate LEAF university. The only reason I'm here is because I'm paying $2500 per semester and graduating with no denbts.
Colton Anderson
STEM is fine if you're relatively intelligent and comfortable with/enjoy mathematics. All of my friends who went into STEM are living comfortably.
I personally went the criminal justice/law route because i wanted to be a police officer and mathematics was always boring, but I respect STEM nonetheless.
Elijah Harris
Economists aren't better pal. They all watch Wolf of Wall Street and think they'll be snorting coke off a hookers titties.
Julian Nelson
tfw I unironically don't know where I want to live either
But good advice sempfam
Jeremiah Phillips
Nice. I liked the pipefitter bros I got to work with in refineries.
We need to bring trades back...although I'm sure you don't want the competition.
Cooper Watson
smart move, keep your grades up and do a ton of projects. depending on the city you go to (austin, colorado somewhere, or another place with jobs) you should have an easy time.
don't be an autistic fag in the interview though
Mason Roberts
>Not doing Engineering/Business => Entry Engineering Job => Build Connections => laid off at 40 and replaced by poo in loo
fixed.
Nathan White
The worst part about STEM is hanging out with STEM majors all day.
>tfw I don't get paid for THIS shit.
Kevin Parker
>trade jerb meme Enjoy being stuck in that dead end for the rest of you life.
Luke Lee
no worries, you dont have to "move" per se, but if you live "by" a big-ish city or go to school near one, look at what they are hiring in. same goes with where you are from if you want to move back there.
keep in mind that a lot of engineering jobs might be outside of the city closest to you. lots of plants/factories are in the boonies.
William Lewis
Have you ever shot anyone?
Isaac Edwards
Is 26 too old to get a CS degree, and get a job assuming I make a github with projects and shit? I CANNOT stand this dead end wagecuck shit anymore
Ian Murphy
If you're still replaceable in engineering by 40 you've failed horribly in your career
Blake Williams
STEM is such a wide field, it really depends.
Camden Adams
i got mine over 30 with no github. i had projects from school though.
i had another STEM degree and only had to take like 10 cs classes, was finished in 3 semesters
Carter White
Too true, the stories about STEM personalities aren't exaggerated unfortunately.
Ryder Perez
it goes both ways. nerds get annoying, but 100% better than being surrounded by chads all day every day.
Julian Ward
Elaborate
Benjamin Jackson
Have fun working to make humanity even more comfortable and weak, only for you and your profession to die slowly when it all falls down (which it objectively HAS to sooner or later). When SHTF, trade knowledge is one of the only bartering tools you have to convince people they should let you live. I'm sure you'll do real well with your large-scale infrastructure maintenance and app development when you can't repair a generator or grow food.
Samuel Barnes
I'm in class right now. There are a bunch of super nasally faggots who have never done anything physical in their lives. Not only that but many of them are super introverted.
Not all of them, but the better they are technically the more autistic they are.
Jayden Flores
>high school >on Sup Forums
Funny way of spelling reddit.
Gavin White
Some are unable to carry on a normal conversation, some fell for the "all STEMs are autists" meme and have no self confidence, others are loud and annoying because they think they're the next hotshot in tech, and a lot of them are just ghosts with no personality to be seen.
Robert Wood
How long did it take you to get there? What did you start at?
Dylan Evans
Sounds like I'd fit right in
Elijah Reyes
A new engineer told me a story about how he was into lifting weights for "hours" every day. His biceps are literally as big as my wrists.
James Perez
Funny thing was I was all into chemistry and science and shit until I took AP Chem Glad I got out of that shitshow
Joshua Miller
I did 8 years in the military, so I'm sort of gorilla-mode. Some of these guys are in ok shape desu. Maybe like 5%
Anthony Moore
This guy sums it up pretty well. More than anything, they don't seem to have many interests outside of work which makes it hard as hell to have any kind of conversation. It doesn't help when they're super nerdy, but they couldn't get a 3.0 at a second rate college.
Brody Howard
Second. I think I really should go for Mechatronics instead of Law but I'm really bad with Math. Looks like I need find some assburgerly topic in law and go for it, I think it would be Tax Law or Corporate Law.
Wyatt White
>5% are in shape Expect that number to drop precipitously after college. They all get wives and get a beer paunch after a couple of years.
Jaxon Scott
> It doesn't help when they're super nerdy, but they couldn't get a 3.0 at a second rate college. This more than anything, the people who managed to get a STEM degree but their fingertips are awful. Full of themselves because the degree, incompetent because they're actually just not smart.
Adrian Diaz
I was pretty shocked at the low degree of physical fitness when I was in the Army, especially since I was an 11B ... but I was in 4th ID at Fort Hood, so there's that
