      As a chemist, all I got was a shortened lifespan.

        Need to make a new compound? Use a carcinogen

        Liquid/liquid extraction? Carcinogen

        Neutralize a reactive compound? Carcinogen

        Clean your glassware? Believe it or not, carcinogen.

        Chemists have the most applicable skills of any science majors, and it’s all because of carcinogens.

          To quote an old professor: “there isn’t a lab table dirty enough that a little benzene won’t clean it!” Fortunately for us (and him) ‘they’ wouldn’t let him do that anymore.

          He also habitually turned his head sideways when working with, say, ether, because you dont want your pipe to set the fumes on fire.

      Seriously. As a biologist, my education was general enough that I learned how little I know about everything, instead giving me an inferiority complex.

    When it comes to the U.S (it doesn’t seem to mention employment rate) Mathematics was 11th place in the highest paying majors 5 years in according to an NY Federal reserve study last month: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/14/highest-paying-college-majors-5-years-after-graduation.html

    Add history majors

    I have an ex friend who was condescending 100% of the time, despite being constantly being unemployed/working retail.

    Hey now. Us physics majors can just do less efficient engineering work.

    …with an inferiority complex.

      Less efficient, but superior engineering! Eventually. For large values of later.

        Yes, but they don’t have finance or business degrees.

          I was tutoring maths to students enrolled in the economics program at a uni. And… Wow. Yeah…

      Done, but I am simply so much better than all the IT majors… I feel superior.

      Watch my latest YT livestream where I coded a JavaScript interpreter just using Haskell and a french press : https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=B7D-gmfeBYIZNeVE
