>> It isn't relevant to most of the jobs.
You learn math, programming, statistics, a lot of more math, physics.
You can get a job in a multitude of fields. Finance, programming, game development (advanced physics engine), etc. etc. Math is the foundation for all technologies, if you have a degree in Theoretical Physics you can pick a lot of other technical fields much easier than say, an English major. A lot of engineering knowledge comes directly from physics.
I think his point is that if you want to work on a technical field (programming, server admin, etc.) why are you getting a liberal arts degree? Which is a fair point in my opinion.
The reverse is also true, if you want to do creative writing, media,English teacher, etc. why would you get a "Theoretical Physics" degree.
- mbreese 15y agoWhy does everyone assume that English majors can't program? Or that theoretical physicists can? (they usually aren't very good at the engineering side of programming)
