[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why stop at Humanities?  We (CS/EE majors) made fun of the Math and Physics majors on our floor - we kept joking what are you qualified to do? We'd probably go after biology as well but only had one.

One math grad joked after getting his first job that UPS truck drivers were making slightly more - this was in the 90s just before the Internet explosion.

Working at NASA - Physics/Math majors looked down on everyone else. Think Sheldon and Wolowitz. They ran the place.  They even listed on open positions "hard science" they didn't care which one. That was for something that required hard coding.

The Business majors keep telling use we're the "smart guys" while significantly making more than us. Off course they only hired Humanities as they moved up. One even told me Humanities start low and finish high. Tech start high and level off.  Yes. I understand the comp plan for FANG and the ludicrous salaries are not the norm.

Difference is that tech majors have nice paying jobs doing comfortable work. Business majors generally have to burn out their soul and be miserable people to succeed. Look at the ghoul in the oval office. [/quote]
