lol smash watches big bang theory and thinks thats what the real world is like. When it comes to math and the only real science (physics) most of the phd's really do nothing. Go to any real science/math guy and he will tell you that in their field you either have to be one of the greatest or you are nothing. (not talking pay talking importance of research)

Also, if you are just talking about reg real world jobs then math/science/eng jobs are pretty easy to do for multiple reasons that I won't get into here.

However, when it comes to research done by the engineering majors then even many of the average researchers do great things.

Also, some of the hardest phys research is done by ChE's (my old degree). I was actually the only person in our entire research group that didn't have at least a masters in phys as well (and most had phd's). Not only that but we often got paid by private companies for some of our work .

I sometimes miss my research days but then I remember what 100+ hours a week was like and not getting to play ff11 except for a few hours a week!

Can't speak to the rest of it, but in math its not just the famous guys who are doing worthwhile work. Like anything else though its only the famous guys that get heard about outside your particular area. You can be kind of a rockstar in function theory and not have any massively discipline spanning research and so no one outside of function theory knows who you are. Doesn't make your work less worthwhile. It means that most people don't really take the time to care about function theory, even if you can backtrace important results in their field to some odd little result in <mathematical discipline>.

if i had to really say, i would say that engineering is probably a little bit harder/more worthwhile than math. cuz with engineering, you are working on real-life stuff, and you have to find a way to transfer what you know on paper and in a simulation into a real, functioning device. but yeah, most of the people i knew that were doing math research werent doing anything exciting.

do you mean chemical engineering by ChE? definitely agree that is one of the hardest. i was aerospace (rocket science FTW ) and some of my friends that were ChE had even less lives than i did. not to mention 5+ hours labs, thank god i never had to take one of those. the one chem class i took was p-chem, and holy crap was that ridiculous. barely survived lol.

this topic has gone quite astray lol

Or poor. Its my understanding that the difference is pretty negligable and, unless u PVE, getting the armourings for belt/bracers is quite a few creds.

Or you want the PvE Set Bonus for the PvP set, then you pretty much have to use the Campaign / Dread Guard armorings. In case of a dps operative for example you most certainly want that extra 15% critical chance from PvE Set and the prolonged duration from PvP Set, so you will go for 3 PvP Set-Armorings and 2 PvE Set-Armorings. - And maybe you even want to switch for healing so you need another Set of Healing armorings... pain in the *** to grind.

Meh I think everyone always has bias for their own field. Interesting is in the eye of the researcher. Afterall THEY find it interesting (I certainly find my research interesting, but I know if I even try to explain it to people not in the field there's going to be a lot of snoring going on). Mathematicians are basically wizards, but working in the abstract carries its advantages and disadvantages.


Yes I'm off topic again, but seriously this thread was over once you released your little simulations.
