Can I do this at the local starbucks, or does it need to be a true mom and pop coffee shop that employees a lot of studies majors?
Starbucks is too mainstream now. You need something a bit more on the fringe. Try some local school campus shop, ask around at the head stores or find a poetry reading (just follow the snaps). You risk getting an engineer posing as a Studies major at a Starbucks.
Whatever you do, don't mention money. They hate it. Their lives are about fulfillment but you will have to foot the coffee bill for you both since the QS person is broke.
Thank you for the advice DMC.
Hopefully whatever local coffee shop I find has their own blend of the roast, as oppose to starbucks' french roast. I'm truly excited to drink some coffee.
Avoid the yeast scented coffee.
I think that's the coffee CuckingFunt drinks.
It could be considered field research.
Know a brilliant guy who found physics not challenging enough and ended up with a PhD in history before he was 30.
Is that what he told you? How far did he go in physics?
Also, I am not surprised that a physics major could easily learn history. When a liberal arts guy finds it not interesting and gets a doctorate in physics, let me know.
Ya, but one requires balance. I happen to like what I do. If I didn't, I'd walk away from it and the flatbed semi that delivers my paycheck.I understand if you don't want to reveal your salary, but my guess is a nuclear whateverthe youdo (and that's not me trying to be condescending about your science degree, that's me not wanting to attempt to correctly spell your occupation) doesn't exactly worry about putting food on the table.
The master speaks. I'm proud to have met him before his passing.
Well I'm largely majoring in Accounting/Finance because I enjoy it. Nothing gets my harder than analyzing a company's annual report, doing a cash flows projection and giving an estimated corporate value.
Kudos. And because you like it, odds are you'll wind up parlaying your gig into a fairly lucrative career with less effort than you might think.
Sorry, I kept missing your post......
Doesn't focus on optimization per se, although post processing is a critical component of what we do clinically.
The project investigates the use of USPIO to cause mechanical stress in cells. It's purely investigational at this stage, but quite promising. We've found that certain gradient sequences are capable of moving these particles around in cell cultures. We can achieve this effect at field strengths as low as .3T with concentrations typically given clinically.
its good stuff to make nearly 6 figures a year with degrees in accounting, finance or engineering but it's always from the degrees that you gain a better overview of your life. money isn't everything in one's life and those living the happiest lives are not always the ones who have the biggest bank accounts. education might give you an easy path to a good job and a wealthy life, but that's not what it's all about tbh.
I wanna hear more about those doctors/engineers/lawyers in Funt's graduate class that decided it would be a good idea
to go get a liberal arts degree and work as librarians.
great thread
college edu has been so ed up these days it wont give you any prestige or any useful skills in the new work force. say you might have a degree in computer engineering but can still end up taking a deadend ty job at starbuck. so it doesn't really matter what your major is IMHO, the complete is worthless no matter what
Indeed...went from a goofy back and forth measuring contest to DMC completely sweeping the leg on liberal arts people...then giving a couple of kicks to the face for good measure.
No, he's not interested in money. Not everything we do is about money. Perhaps it completes him. Education is for the soul.
Kudos. And because you like it, odds are you'll wind up parlaying your gig into a fairly lucrative career with less effort than you might think.
You have clearly never been a TA for a high level writing intensive course. A lot of the science majors can't write worth .
Which, to be clear, is meant merely as a statement and not as a judgment. Science majors have chosen a profession for which developing those skills is unnecessary. So they are relatively unaffected by being unable to write well. But the claim that any science major could sit down and bang out a competent academic paper just because they're smart enough to do so is asinine and isn't supported by my own experiences having to read/grade tons of art history papers over the last couple of years.
However, I would never assume that a science major who writes a art history paper did so because they lack the intellectual capacity for academic writing. That would be stupid. The reverse is stupid, too. Everyone is different and is motivated by different things, but it cannot be assumed that just because someone chose a focus in the humanities, they did so because they lack the intellectual capacity to make it in the sciences.
As Ploto pointed out in the post you quoted, and as I've said many times in this thread, the two disciplines are too different to compare in terms of one being objectively harder than the other. There is no question in my mind that an engineering degree is incredibly difficult. My only contention in this thread is that, just because it's not based in science, an advanced degree in the humanities/arts/liberal arts should not be written off as easy or frivolous.
Do you honestly think this is unique to engineering internships?
So you didn't have non-engineering majors do engineering work? Shocking. If I ran a museum and took on a couple of engineering majors as interns, I likely wouldn't rely on them for their art historical knowledge.
Thank god that true story happened, though, else you'd be robbed of a sick burn.
I haven't done that. You've accused me numerous times in this thread of attempting to equivocate or directly compare the work of an engineering student to that of a liberal arts student, but my position has always been that the differences in the two fields make such comparisons largely irrelevant, if not wholly impossible. The fact that engineering is hard does not mean that everything that's not engineering is automatically not hard.
How is that different or worse than you and others in this thread assuming that liberal arts majors are only liberal arts majors because they're too stupid for the sciences?
And I wanna hear more about when Library/Information Sciences became a liberal arts program.I wanna hear more about those doctors/engineers/lawyers in Funt's graduate class that decided it would be a good idea
to go get a liberal arts degree and work as librarians.
I'd rather hear about lawyers/doctors/engineers deciding to become librarians. It's a lot more entertaining.
