I dropped out in middle school
i'm a bastard looking for the light.
I managed to get a BA in a hard science by doing a more science-y part of a Geography major. I'm retarded and the only things keeping me from giving up on being alive are my loved ones and anime girl escapism. I am afraid God will not save me because the priests tell me I am not good enough.
Philosophy and Econ. But I only take 3 econ classes a year.

I don't know what you are trying to imply with that statement. If you don't like the pastor, go to a different Church. If you agree with him, change yourself.

I'm not trying to imply anything? My community is very small. There are two denominations active in my area but in the priests in both of them denounce anybody who deviates from their respective doctrines as heretics. I mostly keep to myself and do my "heretic" business at home now.
I'm in Political Science.
College dropout working in the Trades, soon to run my own company
what denomination? if you're a 'heretic' according to their church doctrine then there is little point going to that church, even if you do it at home.
One is fairly traditional sort of Catholic and the other is a kind of Protestantism that I think comes from American television evangelists. There are also Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses, but their churches here are very cult-like.
what trade?
I'd be a Catholic, but Mary worship is the genesis of all feminism.
Check out Lutheranism, it's all the good parts of Protestantism and Catholicism
I sure am.
I'm not a feminist because I do not agree with the materialism that underpins the feminist thinking where I live, although I am sympathetic to some of their aims. I love Saints Maria and Maria Magdalena very much. I aspire to be like them as much as I can.
I once went to a Lutheran church when I was a child because I was raised atheist but culturally Norwegian Lutheran. I like the Lutheran theology even if it isn't a perfect match for me.
begome catholic,
website made by beatified catholic zoomer documenting eucharist miracles:

I do believe in such miracles, but I can't become a Catholic and they would not baptize me, anyways. I believe that
>God is not omnipotent, but He is doing His very best and He loves all of us so very much
>the material world is Hell, separated from God and Paradise
>the material world is a closed system the contents of which pass through various natural cycles endlessly
>sin is a consequence of the scarcity of material resources, which causes us to be selfish and wicked towards each other and is the reason that every calorie we consume comes at the expense of another living being
>God uses His limited power to send us messengers like Christ and to work miracles to remind us that He is still there and loves each and every one of us
>upon death, each and every immaterial soul permeates the barrier between the material and the immaterial and is cleansed of its filth before entering Paradise
>we should not kill ourselves, though, because the greatest of the filial relationships is the relationship between God and us and as such the highest form of filial piety is for us in the meantime to do our very best to always do the right thing and to work to alleviate the suffering of all living things
>the material world will one day collapse under the weight of its own corruption, and this is coming very soon
It's not very Catholic even if it is technically Christian...
Lawyer here, does that count as humanities?
I have a BA in philosophy and will finish my BS in math this semester.
Carpenter for now
yeah i majored in philosophy and thank god too bc STEMlords are literally dumb af. why would i want to get a computer science degree and make a decent salary solving problems when i could struggle for 80 hours a week as a barista while i desperately apply to grad school? STEMlord bugmen btfo

You should do you very best, too. :)
An user is giving you cheers from somewhere far.
Religious studies here. I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing. I only hope I can subtlety redpill some students be means of Socratic inquiry.
You realize that, by thinking in such terms, you are at least as retarded as people who want to do a feminist reading of Homer, right?
i gave up my phd studies in medieval african agronomy to become a gimp and fuckslave for my black master.
Based youth corrupter.
Why one or the other? I'm a STEM-humanities hybrid. The humanities are far more important, though, so if I had to choose a side I'd side with them, even though professionally I'm a scientist.
What turned you off of the medieval African agronomy?
why read about strong black men ploughing when you can get ploughed instead
Well, I'm not gay, that's why.
>redpill
what kind of redpills are we talking about?
well, jehovahs believe god isnt omnipotent, im not sure if theyll accept the other beliefs. i strongly suggest you look into arguments for god that entail omnipotency.
the biggest redpill is that there's nothing as smooth as an amerindian woman's hair.
pro-tradition, anti-scientism, Heideggerian and Elulian technological scepticism, deconstruction of the current political paradigm, Foucauldian analysis of the liberal establishment, etc.
so basically just a larp

Same but twenty-three. What went so wrong for us?
It's ok, buddy. It's really fucking ok. Get a STEMbug degree. I'm 27 and have a Master's, but that really doesn't mean anything and my life is shit. I'd trade my BS and MS for the 2 years difference we have.

Anglican could work for you as there are Protestant and Catholic-Orthodox orientating beliefs.
perhaps revelationn will persuade?
>Luke 1:37 "For nothing will be impossible with God.
>Revelation 11:17 "We give You thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, who are and who were, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign.
No. I'm a marine engineering student.
Thank you for the recommendation; I will look into Anglican churches in the next town over.
Scripture is material and written by men. It is not the word of God so much as an imperfect record of the word of God. Besides, I read those as statements of faith by the angel Gabriel and the "four and twenty elders" respectively.
No, I'm a guy.
I'm a language major studying for my meme degree and the only thing that keeps me from dropping out is being forced to work with my parents
I didn't go to a higher education facility

No but I would consider myself an academic.

that's theoretical physics
evolutionary biology
nice resolution you homosexual
art history and anthropology
>tfw graduated with a BA in Literature
>now work as a full-stack software dev
You too can unironically learn to code.
It's really not. Mathematics is the most useful major for finding a job. The most useless major is straight Biology (and shit like Marine Bio). Those are the humanities of STEM.
How did you learn? I’d love to. I didn’t work at all in my BA since I felt all of it redundant and lost motivation early because of it
Coding bootcamp and studying for a year. Doing small projects and following tons of tutorials online. It's not impossible, but you do need some aptitude for it. And your first job will be hell since you'll be working full time and studying in your downtime to keep up.
But i don't want to be a code monkey
You can be a coffee monkey or a code monkey, your choice.

Used to be in Philosophy, but switched after realizing the Pre-Socratics already discovered it all.
i dropped out of uni twice and am unemployed
Same
But long-term I'll probably go to law school
BS Econ. I’m an analyst. It sucks.
Math major, philosophy minor. Would probably rather go full math, but things could certainly be worse. The more I read of contemporary academic philosophy the less I enjoy it, in general.
As an aside: some of you here fail to grasp that mathematics is just utterly poetic. I really don't know how to get across how beautiful this subject is; it's a shame they call it a science and not an art.
>College
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH (im coping)
>I'd trade my BS and MS for the 2 years difference we have.
why? you cant get a BS and MS in 2 years
English major, thinking of doing a minor or a masters in something more useful
what's bad about it? currently finishing my bachelors in econ and unsure whether to do a masters or going for an analyst position aswell
That's just math with extra steps
It’s just a bad fit for me I guess. I really hate corporate or business work in general but really hate finance. It’s completely mundane and you’re expected to be a socialite business bug basically. It’s the quintessential office drone job. Just a hyper-bourgeois desk jockey gig. The thing about a master’s is you’d end up in the same spot anyway unless you go for the PhD in my opinion.
I AM A WAGESLAVE CODEMONKEY I HAVE BECOME THE THING I HATE THE MOST AND NOW IT'S TOO LATE

Geography is a based discipline, user
I thought about switching to philosophy for graduate school but I think you’re right. Philosophy interests me but philosophy doesn’t interest me at all. I don’t know what to do now.
I dropped out of university and now I'm a welder.
I mostly just spam Wittgenstein, haven't read him though.
I study law, I've made some nice connections so hopefully I'll get a job that isn't just inheriting my grandfather's country lawyer office
Is stone carver a Yea Forums profession? I'm thinking about doing an apprenticeship in that field after I'm done with my software dev training? Or is going to uni a better choice?
>Surely, no, right?
Everyone that posts here has authored a Habilitation on Big Chungus Theory
Absolutely
just make sure you wear proper respiratory protection.
I think it's still worth reading and doing philosophy because if you are doing something worthwhile and intellectually challenging you can't help but have philosophical questions about the nature of the work. It's hard exactly to articulate, but if you're thinking deeply and creatively, you'll naturally be led to question things more fundamentally.
Although, as you hint at, that doesn't mean you need to make a career out of philosophy specifically. What are your other options?

I don’t really know to be honest. is me. I don’t have any interest in continuing in that field but it also doesn’t really lend itself directly to other things. I don’t want to be a professor or anything. I’m just really interested in greek philosophy, modern philosophers who draw from it (there’s a few in particular), and ancient languages but no substantial interest in the rest of contemporary academic philosophy and none in analytic at all so far.
Double majored in undergrad so I guess I have two BAs, in my last semester of an MS program now, though
you should still take care of yourself, user.
It certainly sounds like Classics would be more your speed. I don't know how relevant this is to you but here in the UK many schools (even good ones) are quite flexible regarding the undergrad degrees they will accept for masters studies; if it's any good to you, you might well be able to go back and get an MA in Classics, which would be a worthwhile pursuit, I would say.
Might be worth teaching yourself some Latin and Greek to show you're capable & motivated, if that's what you want to do.
At any rate, I hope you find something compelling.
I'll finish my BA in anthropology/sociology this year.
Where is my architecture bros at?? My family runs a development company I get to skip the 10 year postgrad slave period and go straight into big money starchitect larp.

You're probably not PhD material if it took you that long to realize what was up.

You're probably brainlet material of you're still falling for the meme in current year

But how do you get a job in such a place though? Surely you can't just hand in your resume and you're hired, right?
How’s law school, anons. I don’t really have a burning desire to be a lawyer but I’ve been considering this option recently.
I graduated in STEM, but didn't get a job in that field so I feel like I wasted my time getting a degree that I wasn't actually all that interested in. A humanities degree may have offered a more interesting course of study with a very similiar economic outcome.
I’m majoring in pure maths. Still an undergrad. Planning on trying for a Master’s, maybe a PhD if I can afford it. I can’t imagine my life ending in any non-suicide way.
i double majored in mathematics and philosophy and am now in a social science phd program. hello to my fellow math boys and my fellow philosophy boys.

Everyone will tell you not to go to law school. Law used to be a valued profession, now it's a cutthroat competition for the few jobs available. The market in the US is high supply of young lawyers and little demand for them; that is, oversaturated as hell. Additionally, services like LexusNexus and consultants are reducing the need for individual lawyers. If you get a law degree from any school all willy nilly, you will be $200,000 in debt and no more marketable than when you started.
The only reasons to go to law school are:
1. You get into a T14 school and you can hack 3yrs with good grades to get into BigLaw
2. T100 but you're going to be working in your state in a specific role YOU CAN SECURE
3. T100 but you're going into patent law or something that YOU CAN SECURE
And you have scholarships or wealthy parents to foot the bill. If you're getting a loan, forget it.
Ultimately, since you said you don't have a "burning desire", forget law school user. You need that desire to even survive in this profession, cause your education is expensive and loans are debilitating. If you can't get a high paying job, they'll haunt you for the rest of your life.
Nope, graduated with a BBA in Computer Information Systems here, took many business classes including microeco, macro, corp finance, accounting, marketing, management, bus policy, etc.
>Yea Forums tells me to study humanities or kms

>Get paid just to show up to court proceedings for hardly not that long
>Depending on how much money I want to make in a week I can just go do jobs
I have so many options, why the fuck do people say its a hopeless field? It's honestly all about YOUR utility. Yea you can write a paper but what else can you do? I have a buddy thats so good with talking he managed to reach a top economic adviser position for a insurance company despite having a M.A. in philosophy and nothing in economics. Also know tons of people that are now working in foreign services. There are jobs out there you just have to look for them.
Most regular English / Philo / Classics majors are guys who are going for any degree in college and aren't thinking about what kinda job they can set themselves up for. Most Yea Forums anons are antisocial types who just like reading, so they'll never work on their social skills or learn in demand skills like languages since it'll taint their ideal of the "lonely misunderstood literature boy who reads Pynchon and Hawthorne" Yea Forums and tumblr are the same lol
So for most people, it's better to get a more in-demand or marketable degree anyway since they won't put in the work to make their humanities degrees worth something.
Math/physics, but I'm taking as many philosophy classes as I can, so I can build up my writing that I'll apply to grad school for philosophy with.
Or you could get a job as a projectionist.
How's school? Is it tough?
I have no idea what to do with my life. I wish I could just be a steppe nomad and be free but that's impossible escapist fantasy. I wish I could be a monk but that's the same deal. I have no need for material luxury but my only options in life are to endlessly chase material luxury and be miserable.
Geography major here. It’s worked out ok for me at least. Gotta admit I’d rather be in academia studying than working with GIS but you do what you have to
mechanical engineer
How difficult is it really to get into academia? Would love to be an archeologist or study theology or anthropology like the philanthropists of old but that seems like a pipe dream now. From what I've heard it sounds hard to just survive with any humanities degree.
It's hell and not worth the work / debasement of your character for such little pay.
What?
Computer Science here
Economics is a humanties so yes.
I study Bio but have always loved History. Kinda prefer it this way since I feel much more well-rounded as an academic when I can talk across disciplines. Meeting STEM folks who don’t even know how to think critically is extremely cringe and they’re usually less than worthless in terms of projects and research.
It’s a social science. Some schools might consider it a humanities but it is really not at all.
I didn’t study humanities in undergraduate but I’m thinking about going back to school for theology.
I'm a supply chain management major. I majored in philosophy when I first came to college but I switched once I realized that you pretty much can't do anything with a degree in philosophy outside of law school and academia.
I'm majoring in English Lit and it's not even my native language and you can't stop me Edelposter

Never went to university. I work part time as a cleaner which gives me plenty of money and time for books. I don't really aspire to anything beyond this.
Political Science
Medicine but i did it as a postgrad after zoology. Most STEM people are awfully cringy and embody the modern phenomena of scientism but most of the non-STEM people are meet aren't much different. I'm glad I studied biology rather than literature while still maintaining an interest in writing and philosophy (as many questions cannot be answered by science), it gives you a more complete and diverse outlook. Plus it's way easier to justify being right wing with biology than with philosophy
True but I dont give a shit about them.
Very based. I myself am studying math and theology. Hope to see you brothers successfully consume your university from within with the Divine Fire of Guenon (pbuh).
done electrical engineering
now almost full year as a RTL designer
after all these years i see, i will never be truly happy because engineering is simply boring
but there is cash there
tell me more, i’m otw myself hopefully
Extremely based, user. Are you in undergrad? What are you plans for those? I already graduated with a bug degree but I’m unironically considering going back to school for one of these two.
Get out while you can, user.
Studying Law, even though I’m hardly interested in it. Something like literature or linguistics sounds a lot more interesting. Still, I’m somehow coasting by with above average grades despite my lack of interest and effort, so might as well finish the damn thing. University is 1000€/year where I live fortunately so it’s not like I’ll get fucked by debt

Most people seem not to understand i do not only study what the world is composed of but also how it functions. Also its humilating and kind of my fetish how much we still dont know about that 'rock' we live on.

I see you have discovered the great truth hidden from Zoomers that work is separate from hobbies. The bugman aspect of tech jobs is that people build their whole identity around it as if it's some great thing.
The reality is that making websites is boring as fuck. Once you've made one, you've made them all; they call it CRUD for a reason. Just as boring as factory work.
Same shit when these "people" get excited about a new framework. It's like getting excited over a new, slightly different, hammer. Sure it might drive some nails better than other hammers but you still shouldn't use it to drive a screw.
