Why do people attach success/fullfilment with yearly financial income? It's fucking absurd. Valuing the worth of your life based off what you're being payed.
Such is the propaganda society pumps out to children

>tfw BLS gives poli sci a better projected growth than Comp Sci 8)
It's because STEM is being over-saturated. It's like the 2000s Education field all over again.
Yeah that's what's real shit about all this STEM propaganda being pumped out. It tricks kids like me into thinking its the only viable option for a career and when you begin to trick thousands of kids into that you begin to get a terribly oversaturated job market. I understand why they did it in the first place because the job market was legitimately starved of engineers and computer scientists.

]but its true. liberal arts majors arent the ones raking in the cash.
that only matters if you're a dickhead who gives a shit about making a lot of money
evryone should give a shit about making a lot of money. you should be trying to make as much money as you can.
and then do what exactly? buy a big house? an expensive car? how exciting. i dunno if you're young but there really is more to life
youre right there is more to life, but not having to worry about money makes life that much better. why make $40k when you can make $140k?
Because I can live totally comfortably off of $40k and that other $100k is entirely unnecessary.

You know a person can live comfortably without  making 6 figures right? I'd be happy with 30k-40kk tbh but I can make a lot more than that in my career field.

Welcome to the fold, Polsci. THERE ARE DOZENS OF US!
I thought you decided on law IIRC from that one thread in serious. Unless you're doing your bachelor's in poli sci and then law school?
The Law Adviser on campus suggested I do Polsci instead, just in case I wanted to switch again later on. More options than a pre-law degree.
Yeah actually pre law students are some of the lowest scorers on the LSAT. I've heard the degree programs do a terrible job of preparing you for law school. I think you made the right decision.

TIME TO REMOVE SOME KEBAB

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/conservative-victory-in-poland-redraws-the-map-of-europe-2015-10-26?mod=googleeconomypolitics

Quote
The victory of Poland’s conservatives in Sunday’s general election marks a seminal moment in post-cold war Europe.

Poland is Europe’s swing player. No other important European country — Poland is a little ahead of Belgium, but behind Switzerland and Sweden, in the gross domestic product rankings — has over the past 200 years been obliterated from the map by its neighbors, and then reforged with, and in, a new European identity.

This victory gives the Poles some legitimacy to act as a barometer of the continent’s mood.

The return to government of nationalist Jaroslaw Kaczynski’s Law and Justice party (PiS) will significantly influence three interlinked developments guiding Europe’s future. Across all these questions, Kaczynski adds to the problems facing Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose status within and outside her Christian Democrat party has been weakened by widespread German divisions over mass immigration from conflict-ravaged regions.

The presence of a vibrantly anti-Russian party at the helm of a pivotal Central European state will also not make life easier for President Barack Obama and his successor as they try to broker some kind of rapprochement — whether over Ukraine, Syria, energy or sanctions — with Vladimir Putin’s recession-hit yet increasingly self-confident Russia.

PiS, a heady Polish mix of conservatism, populism and nationalism, is estimated to have won 38% of the vote, and may be able to rule without coalition partners. The centrist pro-European Union PO party conceded defeat after estimates gave it around 24%.

The first set of issues where Kaczynski will make his mark will indeed be over relations with Russia. Kaczynski was Polish prime minister in 2006-07. He nominated Beata Szydlo as his party’s candidate for the premiership, partly because he realized that his frequently brusque style displayed a decade ago could discomfort Polish voters concerned about good relations with the rest of Europe.

He may use the return to the front line to proclaim that he habitually warned the West against Russian aggression, hampering Putin’s efforts to project a more statesmanlike image on the world stage. Kaczynski detected Russia’s hand behind the disastrous plane crash in 2010 that killed his twin brother Lech, then Polish president, approaching an airfield in Smolensk, Russia. Long-running conspiracy theories may now be reignited.

The second field of potential skirmishes is over the euro EURUSD, +0.2904%  .

For years, Poland — the seventh biggest economy out of the 28 in the EU — has been seen as a prize candidate to join the European single currency. The three Baltic states — Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania — have all become members in the past few years, as did Slovakia and Slovenia earlier on — steps hailed as evidence that the euro bloc was integrating parts of Europe previously behind the “iron curtain.”

However, Poland’s qualms have grown about tying itself to a low-growth currency area beset by tension over debt accumulated by poorer countries and owed to rich ones. Marek Belka, the caustic governor of the National Bank of Poland, whose term ends next year, is unlikely to be displeased that the political impetus for euro membership has been ebbing fast — and, under Kaczynski, is likely to be snuffed out altogether.

Also read David Marsh on why Poland and other P-Group nations are the ones to watch

The third area is immigration.

Poland will go to the vanguard of Central and Eastern European countries insisting that national borders are sacrosanct and refusing to join German-led action to agree immigration quotas based on Germany’s own generous treatment of asylum-seekers. Kaczynski, who has warned that people fleeing Syria could bring diseases to Europe, will make an unpredictable bedfellow for other more moderate leaders.

His visceral distrust of both Berlin and Brussels may make him somewhat too polarizing an ally for David Cameron, the British prime minister, as he seeks continental partners for EU reforms ahead of the British referendum on Europe to be held in 2016-17.

But, whether in foreign, economic or social policies, Kaczynski cannot be ignored. In abrasive and sometimes uncompromising form, Poland is back on the map.

But seriously this could mean a lot for the geopolitical landscape of Europe and the EU. I think it will be a beneficial thing for Poland and put them back on the map.

Is it your first year of politics? I've been studying it a while now, it's pretty shitty but it's definitely one of the more respectable arts subjects, there's tonnes of options you wouldn't even think of. Just stay away from the professors that are trying to push you into rubber stamper placements.
I'm finishing out this year of comp sci. Next semester is when I'll switch

I was getting 0 enjoyment out of computer science and the thought of spending the rest of my life coding was beginning to make me sick to my stomach. Politics is about the only thing in life I'm genuinely interested in and get any enjoyment out of. I suppose the pushing factor was how much my Uni's poli sci department helps their graduates get jobs, that being said its not nearly as limited of a career field as I once thought.
two weeks ago you loved coding
I don't think I've ever said I loved it. I'm gonna need a direct quote. I mean I forced myself to like it for the first two years but that charade could only last so long.
you talked about how much you loved writing that RPN calculator on Skype, I don't have a quote
I mean I loved finally getting it figured the fuck out because I hit a wall with it. Yeah I enjoyed the problem solving factor of comp sci but solving problems is always going to feel rewarding. That's not really unique to comp sci.

Hunter, Years ago you came to Fort Benning, GA and made a presence at 4th Ranger Training Brigade in order to demonstrate the arduous physical events that Rangers encounter. Bottom line, I was the NCO that escorted you through the WORM PIT at 4th RTB...do you or can you get a digital copy of that episode or a digital copy of the segment filmed at 4th RTB?

Oh yeah I lack about 4 major classes for comp sci to be done so if I ever wanted to go back and finish it I could do so in 2 semesters most likely. I definitely gave it a thorough try, its not like I backed out at Programming 1. I took half the required classes.

I hated programming, too, and while I stayed in engineering, switching majors when I learned I hated what I was on was a great decision. I hope you really enjoy your new major.

What kind of field are you thinking of working in?
I mean I'll take what I can get but ideally a political analyst, being part of a think tank, or working for the campaign of someone I genuinely support. Realistically I can probably expect being a lobbyist for one of the tribes or an oil company, that's where a lot of the graduates from here end up.

It provides some entertainment and information from time to time but it's pointless for the most part. I wonder why I let myself get caught up in it so much sometimes. I suppose its the old biological imperative of being right or getting the last word in.
Is it a biological imperative, or is it just an ego thing? or both
Hmm yeah I suppose it might be leaning more towards the ego part because not everyone feels the need to do be right or get the last word in.
