Planning on going back to school purely for fun in a few years. I would love to study math/CS/physics/eng but that’s out of the question because I hate the people that usually study that
Biology or chemistry seems cool too but the pre-med students are always annoying too, and the grad students too sometimes if they have grandious ideals about curing cancer or becoming a neuroscientist or something
So I’m considering humanities maybe, but maybe one that does not have lots of liberal vibes though like English, sociology, psychology, etc.
I don’t doubt this is partially because my program was lower-tier but other than a professor making an offhand comment about the chemistry department’s funding once I don’t remember ever having a conversation that suggested a rivalry with other disciplines. Doing a phd was so much more fun than undergrad because the other students were all very passionate about math. There’s something really magical about getting to nerd out in a group on a regular basis and I still miss that tbh.
That’s really nice. My school was a particular intense type of toxic because the CS and eng students are one of the most coveted for top jobs in silicon valley and hedge funds, and is by far the most well known thing about the school, so that really warps the environment for related majors like math and non software/computer related eng
And yea I agree, discussing math with somebody is magical because there’s so few that can speak the language
