Congrats on getting a job as a mathematical physicist! Among my cohort (which includes a few maths/physics double degrees) that makes you something of a unicorn

Congrats on getting a job as a mathematical physicist! Among my cohort (which includes a few maths/physics double degrees) that makes you something of a unicorn. If you take a moment to revisit my post, you'll notice I never mentioned difficulty. I'm well aware that some non-STEM degrees are incredibly complex and I make no claim to any ability in those areas for myself. I also never made any value judgement about courses being "greater" or "lesser". That's a subjective call and ymmv. I absolutely don't discount all non-STEM degrees as being 'useless' and there's plenty of insight and wisdom to be had from people with a deep understanding of history, or comparative culture, or any number of fields. And yet I still feel it's a grave disservice to tell the average high school student that they should go to university for the sake of it, even if that means specializing in glazing techniques in 14th century French pottery or whatever other navel-gazing pursuit, while your insane U.S. tuition fees are extracted from them.
