This thread makes me lol.</p>

<p>Just cause you get a quant degree doesn’t mean you’ll be making more than that music or art history major. </p>

<p>IN THE REAL WORLD:</p>

<p>If you are a smart engineer but a complete ******************** to work with, you’ll be a cashier at some hole-in-the-wall for the rest of your life making pennies.</p>

<p>If you’re smart with quant stuff but either choose or are only semi-awkward/******, you’ll be in the IT department making a stable salary but not being able to climb the ranks at all in your life.</p>

<p>If you’re quant and are a sociable and good person (aka NOT some loser who disses liberal arts majors and projects an attitude of superiority to their fellow human beings), then you’ll be doing very well in the real world. </p>

<p>In the real world, no one cares you are smart and good with quant stuff if you’re a complete ***hole, because there are millions of other good quant people who respect liberal arts majors, those less fortunate than them, their equals, their superiors, etc. </p>

<p>If you aren’t a quant but are a very smart and good team-player, you’ll do very well too. That’s why Art History majors from Columbia (they must possess some quant abilities of course, but they don’t major in it) get jobs as bankers making more money as starting salary than some RPI graduate could ever dream of. </p>

<p>Stop the flame wars, it just ruins your own personality.</p>

<hr>

<p>I’ll be loling even more if one day while you are on the job you make some off-hand joke about music majors to your supervisor, only to find out your supervisor was a music major. Doh!!! Sucks, but you’d deserve it and your consequential pink slip.

</p>

<p>Like none of the humanity majors is an @$$hole! Art History major from Columbia? LMAO! Yeah, screw humanity majors from non-ivy schools!!</p>
