Techie or Fluffy?

<p>Well? </p>

<p>Fluffy here. <em>triumphantly throws fist into the air</em>?</p>

<p>I’m a fluffy techie. I’m slowly evolving into a full-fledge tech with a soft inner-core. We’ll see what happens when I get to college!</p>

<p>Hahaha, never knew that the opposite was called a fluffy. I am probably somewhere in between but leaning toward the techie side; though I’ve got aspirations of being a “full-fledge” techie. Techies rock!</p>

<p>what?</p>

<p>…what kind of techie are we referring to here?</p>

<p>College major-wise. </p>

<p>You know…techie = casual or hardcore science/business/etc. majors that are intent on getting a job and fluffies = people who major in things like english/psychology and spend their college years in an intelllectual orgy(for lack of a better word) and have a hard time finding jobs after graduation. </p>

<p>At least that’s what I’ve gathered out of all of this. :|</p>

<p>Actually, I was just reading an article in the NY Times about this. Contrary to popular belief, an English major can apply their skills to a wide range of disciplines: journalism, teaching, law school, or most things completely unrelated to that. And I think it’s sort of narrow-minded to think otherwise, because many people’s jobs have nothing to do with their major. It’s more about the type of person you are and where you went to school than your major. Anyway, sorry for ranting. GO ENGLISH MAJORS, YOU ROCK SO HARD!!!</p>

<p>Yes, that’s the whole POINT of it. The two sides are generally very narrow-minded and the term is most likely coined out of mockery.</p>

<p>this is really weird… my music teacher was telling us the real definition on fluffer today in class… Would being fluffy mean that you are a fluffer or that you fluff?
Because the old definition (70’s/80’s) is the girl that prepares the guys for Play(You know what)</p>

<p>amen to that, lirael! :slight_smile:
Actually, I would have to say that generally, no bachelor’s degree is particularly more helpful than others in getting a job. For a lot of fields, a masters degree or above is almost requisite. And statistically, I have a better chance of getting into medical school with my philosophy degree than any of my biology or phy sci major counterparts. Besides, philosophy (and humanities in general) are just so cool :)</p>

<p>heh…heh, quote of the day, “intellectual orgy” !</p>
