wish I took sociology or anthropology instead of this mickey mouse polisci major

wasting years learning about poll optimization and legal jargon when I want to learn about the organization of society. i guess i assumed the so-called 'science of politics' encompassed that more so. it sucks because I'm a senior and at this point I guess I'll just ride it out

  • i can commiserate as i did computer science and completely and utterly regret it. wish i either avoided STEM entirely or just studied mathematics.

    • what made you hate it?

      • just ended up realising I'm not passionate about programming, it was the maths that i liked. plus the industry is horrendous, i had a corporate job for a bit and it left me completely jaded and not wanting to program for a wage ever again. i also felt generally a bit stunted from doing a pure stem education which I've been trying to make up for on my own time since.

      • I'm a different person but I personally have really hated how intricately connected all the STEM departments in my uni are to defense companies that come hire here.

        • not the same here, but similar. we are always coding or managing infrastructure for evil fucking people, thats for sure.
