I always find slagging on “liberal arts” as funny.
Who do you think writes most of the books you read, or the TV or movies you watch…?
Or does the design work of any of the media you see…?
From advertising to concept design, cinematography to graphics.
Or the music you listen to…?
Or writes about the history of your world, or your country…?
A world without art or literature would be pretty bland, wouldn’t it?
Yup.
Art history.
And a degree in chemistry and a post grad professional degree in allied health care.
I work in a hospital clinic and part time for a theatre company.
It’s kind of cool to have two completely different kinds of jobs.
Yeah, already caught this before. “rdeckard” once posted something deliberately irreverent, and I playfully followed suit. Then “gropegrope” criticized me for doing this but didn’t call out “rdeckard” for doing the same thing.
“Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against unpleasant impulses by denying their existence in themselves, while attributing them to others.[1] For example, a person who is rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude.”
“So the art degree is still completely useless and a waste of time, but yay you took something useful – chemistry.”
Not at all.
The art history and humanities I took I use every day.
Watching movies, reading books, understanding what the writer or director was trying get across.
It’s amazing how much more you get out of movies when you understand the how and why behind it.
Watching the news and understanding history, how we got here (politically), how and why other people have different ideas and values…
And it really helps when you are a set and costume guy.
My professional degree was necessary for the work I do with patients.
Which is very rewarding as well….actually helping people go from broken to healed.
My chemistry degree….pretty much useless.
I don’t use any of it on a daily basis anymore…or even on a monthly basis.
I hardly remember any of it.
Organic chem is pretty arcane stuff…not very interesting, and not very useful in daily life or in the vast majority of professions.
It’s pretty tedious working in a petro-chem lab or doing quality control for a paint company…not any more stimulating or rewarding than flipping burgers at McDs….I guess the cash was better.
Having been there though, I’d never recommend anyone to go into chemistry…
“…in which a person is faced with a fact that is too uncomfortable to accept and rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence.”
The instance I’m referring to is gone since I was super drunk and posting a lot of nonsense. Tiki deleted all my comments for that day. But thanks for finding another example rdeckard/gropegrope. Interesting that rdeckard is the one that remembered it and not gropegrope. Very interesting…

Look how close together in time rdeckard and gropegrope comment. And gropegrope did mention they had an alt at one point. Now we know what it is!

Neither one of you answered the question.
Not sure how first is science and not also engineering.
