Just get a programming job
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
For real. I made the life mistake of getting a PhD but managed to turn it into an asset by doing fairly straightforward finance programming shit that scares people.
doing fairly straightforward finance programming shit that scares people.
The reason it’s straightforward to you and scary to others is because you have a PhD. Even if it’s not in finance, you gained abilities in reading documents, extracting useful information, integrating knowledge, teaching yourself skills, building tools, and generating reports. To most people, those are difficult things.
If only there was a way these people could teach themselves these skills, even without access to a doctorate program!
A superiority complex? I find it quite simple actually
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.
You guys have a superiority complex? That must be nice!
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.
Add history majors
I have an ex friend who was condescending 100% of the time, despite being constantly being unemployed/working retail.
