[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you major in useless easy stuff[/quote]

Now majoring in Math is a useless easy degree?  :roll: [/quote]

DP.  But yes, it certainly can be.  Some of the laziest people I know are mathematicians, pi in the sky and all that, it can very much be a naval gazing humanities degree. To the extent employers think otherwise, that’s a fairly recent development.

But, if graduated without debt, he’ll be self sustaining as a kayak guide, so good enough.[/quote]

“Ivy League stem degrees” don’t even have labs, nor compare in level of difficulty or skills learned to a earn a math or engineering BS degree from Georgia tech, Carnegie Mellon, MIT, a service academy, CalTech, or top flagship state schools. And certainly can’t hold a candle to math at IIt, Oxbridge, Todai, ecole systems.

Ask anyone that hires or wants the trainability of a true mathematician what they think of the coursework and driven of HYP math major. [/quote]

My Ivy certainly had a lab for my stem degree. We had our own chip fab, wind tunnel, and built our own nano sats. Sure GT, CalTech, and MIT are on another level but businesses value more than just raw technical talent which is where Ivys and Stanford shine.[/quote]

So you had a 4-6 hour lab assignment every other week? 
And tests where 45% correct was an A? [/quote]

I’ve got news for you, no college or university in the US, anywhere, is like that in 2023. Grade inflation, athletic recruiting, affirmative action, helicopter parenting and college being a consumer-based business have eliminated such practice. [/quote]
