I think the problem is the social environment on the job and the general disillusionment of being an adult.
Cheating on the math test while in high school was as pointless (sooner or later the chickens come home to roost) but it felt amazing in the moment because you were doing it with your buddies and against the “enemy” (teacher, school etc.)
Adults all of a sudden feel the need to be important so they suffer in that same scenario
- fragmede 3y ago> the chickens come home to roost For whom? For those of us who became STEM majors, absolutely. Math and its tests only got more advanced after I got into college. But for humanities majors who's requirements only required a single math class, if that, to graduate never had "the chickens come home to roost". At most they bribed or cheated their way though that one college level math class.
- JumpinJack_Cash 3y agoOk maybe but in this case the enjoyment was also short lived. One instance of cheating Also I was talking about high school where you have a set of mates to violate rules with as opposed to college where you kinda rotate people based on circumstance and location. Also you seem really triggered and stressed out, maybe the humanities people weren't wrong picking their path after all /s
- fragmede 3y agoHm. I'm not sure where you're picking up that I'm triggered and stressed out. Can you point out where you're getting that from?
- JumpinJack_Cash 3y agoYour bitter attack on the humanities majors for stuff that doesn't change your life one bit (it's irrelevant for you if they cheated/bribed or not)
- fragmede 3y agoHmm, thanks. Is there a way that my point, that cheating on a math test actually doesn't end up hurting people that it turns out actually didn't need that math, could come across as not bitter to you? I'm really not bitter about it. I'm quite happy with my math minor. It's relevant in that if they cheated/bribed, and didn't learn that modicum of math, to your earlier point, that the chickens don't come home to roost.

This is not a humanities forum, they are not here to debate, so why mention them at all?
- fragmede 3y agoAh. So if I'd said non-STEM instead of picking a specific example, it would have been fine?
- JumpinJack_Cash 3y agopicking on anybody who cannot debate and cannot defend themselves sounds bitter
- fragmede 3y agoI'll have to wrap my head around that one, but thank you!
