It would actually more frustrating to converse only with other physicists. They can be so dull at times.

My personal experience with economics is that it's not the field itself that cultivates boring personalities, but rather the academic pursuit of it. In simpler terms, all the interesting people I've met are those who are either actively working in the field or intending to work in it. The lifetime academics, on the other hand, are often about as dynamic as Microsoft Sam.

I do occasionally get pissed at how little most people know about physics both past and present. But those guys are better than armchair physicists, who deserve their own special circle of hell. The dick circle.

I can understand this sentiment. It'd be worse for you, seeing as the subject is scientific and thus more concrete in nature, but there is no shortage of armchair economists, either. I just have to sigh when someone gives me their nutshell solution to fixing the economy.

I'll admit I'm terrible at physics. I tried to take the subject at school, but I just didn't gel with it. I had no problem with calculus and the like, but as soon as the math was applied in any way, my brain would just go on strike.

In my final year at the University of Warwick studying History and preparing for unemployment.

Pretty much. Unless you are an accountant living in London, or happy to be a "recruitment consultant" (read target based bullshit) anyone with a degree is f**ked in the UK. Even engineers have a hard time as there is so little industry in the UK. Best bet would be to do a masters or conversion course.

Woo yeah for the fucked economy! Just about to (hopefully) complete an architecture degree, nicely in time to [not] find 12 months of employment and [not] subsequently move on to part 2 and three of the course! I think my best bet is to find somewhere in China, lol.

I'm in my third and final year of a BSc Mathematics at the University of Leeds. And I hate it. I won't drop out because it's my final year, and I don't want to have wasted the past three years or thousands of pounds in tuition fees. But I just want the course to be over (though thankfully all the modules I picked for this final semester are pretty interesting to me, whereas last semester everything was boring and overly difficult...).

To be honest, I wish I'd done Cinema and Photography instead (basically, film-making), but I didn't know such a course existed when I was applying for university, because my crappy high school was a grammar school and so frowned on any degree that wasn't sufficiently 'academic'. Hell, they even expected everyone to get A-Levels and go to university as a matter of course, I recall the Careers Advisor (one of the Chemistry teachers in a double-job) had a right go at one guy in my year because he didn't want to do university after his A-Levels, but to join the Army as an officer instead...

 

[Spacelord]

Organisational psychology! Hope I'll be employed some day...

 

[Chappy]

If I pass at the end of this year I will have a Foundation degree in Forensic Science and Archaeology and if I go onto the third optional year I'll have a Honours degree in Forensic Science and Crime scene science.

B.S in Mechanical Engineering (currently working on my Masters), when you see the army of rampaging gigant robots... you know who to blame! >=D

B.S. in Political Science and a J.D. (Law Degree). I'll eventually use them for lobbying, but right now I'm stuck in Afghan Human Rights work.

I'm not surprised at the number of tech jobs in this forum, even if it does reinforce a gamer stereotype.
