Do you judge people based upon their major in college?

[rcpratt]

CompE = God Tier

EE = Mid Tier

All other engineering majors = Shit Tier

:awe:

Non engineering degrees = might as well kill yourself cuz you're stupid as fuck

Petroleum engineers make more money than you.

If Trident took his head out of his ass he would realize that other careers are necessary for him to succeed in his. For example, forgoing his incompetence, if he designs some engineering product, he will require someone to market this product and sell it for profit. This requires a marketing/business major and without that even if he had a brilliant design(unlikely I know), he would be sunk in the water. Unless the engineer is a great polymath who can do all aspects of selling his product(design, fabrication, testing, marketing, presentation, etc), an engineer requires other people with different competencies to sell his product and get use out of it.

 

[Ricemarine]

Yeah. Business majors are the default option for people who have no idea what to do with their lives. IMO they are the type that were never bright enough to do well academically and are just along for the ride - hoping to come out on the other side with a degree so they don't waste 4 years.

Seems like a generic degree.

:hmm:

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

I've always wondered what this "Major / Minor" thing is in America? Someone explain?

Ah OK, I understand, over here we don't have such things a degree in x is just a degree in x there's no two subjects.

God you're an annoying troll. Why do you do this? Why do you pretend that certain things only exist in USA? Every university in the fucking world has the concept of major and minor subjects, including England. For example.

God you're annoying.

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

lol. TridenT, just so you know, I'm not doing engineering, and I don't even need to look for a job after I graduate, I get one lined up for me as part of the degree. Whereas you...how long are you planning on being unemployed for after you get your spiffy piece of paper?

There are only Chinese and Indians in engineering. Plus, my sister was a B+ student in civil engineering and didn't even get hired yet.

You have really low standards. My friend is doing engineering and he considers everything not an A+ as a fail.

Maybe he's just not very bright.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

C's get degrees.

I'm not your friend, bro.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

TridenT aren't you doing comp sci? That's not an engineering discipline...

 

[HamburgerBoy]

:hmm:

There's probably some truth to it. You can look at the average scores of different academic groups for the GRE and business majors do poorly in both mathematics and verbal/writing sections. There's obviously some really smart business people out there, but the average business undergraduate at an average college is towards the bottom of the ladder.

 

[sactoking]

C's get degrees.

D is for "Diploma"

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

but the average business undergraduate at an average college is towards the bottom of the ladder.

Certainly in my experience, business is the degree people go for when they're looking for the easiest degree.

So do sports players and movie stars, it doesn't make them any less stupid.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

Btw, I put CS under the umbrella of engineering majors.

lollerskates.

I have a CS degree, it's not an engineering degree.

 

[TheSlamma]

I find most people I know with psychology degrees tend to have social skill issues, always makes me wonder if they are doing it to find out WTF is wrong with themselves.

art history, astrology, philosophy, communications, Latin and religion = LOL

 

[dainthomas]

I do. When I think "engineer", I think "aspie with minimal social and verbal skills".

 

[TridenT]

lollerskates.

I have a CS degree, it's not an engineering degree.

Yeah, I know, but most people put it under that.

Fuck, it's not even a BS at my school. It's a BA!

What??

Was that sarcasm?

[roguerower]

Let's hope that you become the whiz kid you dream of blossoming into, because based on the last few years on here, you're more dense than a pallet of bricks.

Keep judging those around you, let me know how far that gets you in life. Meanwhile, I will be sitting at my actual, successful job, which I got with a construction management degree (9 months before graduation in one of the worst hit industries by the recession), something I guess you would "look down on".

Until you get a job, shut the hell up and study more.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

astrology

There are degrees in this?

 

[thegimp03]

No, I know many people without college degrees and they are great people who work extremely hard at what they do to support their families.

 

[Ricemarine]

Yeah, I know, but most people put it under that.

Fail (unless you meant UW-Tacoma). Also, I thought you didn't get accepted into the CS department yet.

 

[roguerower]

Fail.

Yea, well, what do you expect out of someone who struggled with Calculus I in community college.

Says BA on the damn worksheet when I got it.

It's pretty much a BA. BS don't have that much general ed.
