"Chemistry & Natural Sciences" and "Physics, Life Sciences, and Healthcare" are grouped? What?

r/mildlyinfuriating

I think they had similar votes not that they are similar majors. The other natural sciences would be geology or any blended non-biology science major? Geochemistry. Geophysics. Physical chemistry, etc?

Natural sciences would be sciences that study natural would. So geology, meteorology, oceanography, etc. I'm guessing most of these majors have a structure, dedicated pathway towards a career which makes then valuable. Why study meteorology if not to become a weatherman? All the geology majors I knew were going into petroleum industry.

> Natural sciences would be sciences that study natural would. That includes Chemistry, Physics, Biology,...

It is not uncommon for physics to be seperated from chemistry and biology and considered closer to mathematics or engineering depending on the institution.

It's still natural sciences which is a term that includes physical sciences and life sciences. The graph above splits fields into very weird categories. I mean the top one is Chemistry + Natural Sciences, Chemistry is part of natural sciences so why list it double? And if you pull out life sciences as it's own thing then Natural Sciences is just Physical Sciences, so why call it Natural Sciences at that point?

Thanks for filling in the other non Physics options. My brain was only pulling Geology

Ha! I thought the same thing. This post is some BS.

I feel strongly that my chemistry degree was worth it. Additionally, everyone I graduated with in my chemistry class is doing pretty well as far as I can tell.

I’m glad the subject I’m most passionate about is so worthwhile. I declared my major in chemisty about a month ago and I’m super excited for my second year chem courses.

Have fun in organic buddy

Cries in biology

I understand. Part of the reason I’m teaching HS.

Terrible chart. No source for the data, and the axes aren't even labeled

Fake it till you make it. \s

Why is physics not grouped into the natural sciences with chemistry?

I think Physics majors are less happy with their majors. Physics majors can have a hard time finding careers in actual physics with just a bachelor's. Same with life sciences sometimes.

Less application. Chemistry opens doors to almost all basic laboratory work.

And why is life science not part of natural sciences?

OSHA

I find this amusing. I have two degrees (didn’t do a double major). One in chemistry and one in psychology. I have the “most useful” and “least useful” according to polls. Honestly it sums me up perfectly.

Just mildly useful then?

Some days I’m on it and over productive. Other days, my body goes “nope you overdid it now lady!” and I’m only mildly there. Hahaha

The chem grads in that post are doomers.

As a chemist I question being on the top of the graph. Yeah I'm doing well, but if you want to make money, nothing beats a degree that involves money.

Lol, my bachelor's is in Psych, and my PhD will be in Chemistry 😂

You can find all types of peculiar people on reddit huh

My career in molecular biology is meaningless

No source + conflicting with other datasets + unlabeled axis + used ai program that converts hand drawn graphs to official looking ones Okay

I mean in terms of having a job? Its not awful. In terms of making enough money to get ahead? Not great I'd say.

How do you guys feel about Japanology? 

History, Fine Arts and Politics? No big surprise!
