Universities are heavily biased in politics or government. Even a government 101 course will glorify government interventionism and spending. As for political science, it generally does lead people to socialism and far left ideologies. I would know, I use to believe that shit too. Then you learn economics, and it’s still somewhat biased, but most economists stay away from the left.
This is why I quit University after one year, all the people around me were retarded. They couldn’t even read or write, which is something people learn from the first grade onward!!! Does it really take that much time for people to learn this? Pathetic!
Hey video game studies sounds sweet. Thank god for the cost of Canadian Universities! Plus according to PISA tests we’re the 10th smartest country in the world.
University courses (except for the math and science majors) have been dumbed down.
@axe863 Ha thanks. I meant more so what should I be focusing on now?
@captainfingerbanger A good knowledge of C++ is crucial. Finance is a very diverse field. I would assume that more transparent risk management for all those complex derivatives is in demand. I know an individual who is currently working on dis-aggregating the risk elements in certain securities.
@axe863 You seem to be in a promising position… can you offer any advice? I am a competent C++ programmer and learning as much as I can in my spare time but am a bit in the dark in a lot of ways
@captainfingerbanger Its those kind of interdisciplinary fields that still suffer from insufficient supply of labor.
@axe863 Very cool. I’m interesting in some sort of cross between math and programming after I graduate.
@captainfingerbanger No, Im still in school. Im doing doctoral work in complexity. I’ll be a new breed of quant
.
@captainfingerbanger I no longer have a soul
@axe863 I’m very glad to hear that. Are you an actuary?
@captainfingerbanger I said that to get some attention
. I have a weird sense of humor. I found all that coursework to be very interesting. I,also,found literary coursework to be interesting. Nonetheless, they are not relevant to my field, so I didnt list it. Ive taken chinese Lit & Poetry, two courses in philosophy, the Other: dynamics of western and eastern europe..etc.
@axe863 Ehhh… you can’t even make a point anymore without alluding to statistics.
@captainfingerbanger I understand your point. I should have qualified my last comment by stating that the (expected) value of said course is minimal for an individual with unrelated diverse coursework relative to the (expected) value derived with related diverse coursework. Im not speaking for all individual cases, I am speaking for the general tendency
@axe863 And I don’t understand the pat on the back you gave to yourself about your electives. I’m sorry to say this, but I think you have had your creativity and sense of wonder stripped away by a list of boring choices. I hope you don’t agree with Savage’s suggestion that they should take a class about “Churchill and–uhhhh–how he saved England from uhhh Nazis”. If you need a class for this, get out of college.
@axe863 A lot of people from other disciplines (math and physics being the most obvious) end up working in the software industry. Also, what is wrong with someone from, say, the humanities taking that course: it may pique their interest in the subject (it is MIT, afterall) and it could even inspire them in their writing (graphic novels, comics, etc.). It is not an issue of who takes the class, it is an issue of what the class is about.
@captainfingerbanger Actuaries are mathematicians who pretend to understand finance. Investment managers are financial economists who pretend to understand mathematics. Quants are individuals who are proficient in mathematics & finance but disregard the deficiencies of mathematics & financial theory.
@captainfingerbanger I am not ripping on game design. If one specializes in their major, it is beneficial to society. Software design is a sophisticated profession. It is the one course that I think shouldn’t be on the list. Nonetheless, its value is minimal if the individual isn’t majoring in the subject. There is a certain level at which the diversity of subjects reduce the value of ones capital. One becomes a jack of all trades, a master of none.
@axe863 There is so much wrong with an MIT class about video games. First of all, what good has the video game industry done for the economy? There is NO money in video games. Yeah, there is a significant amount of physics and coding that go into video games, but that is WAY beside the point. And it’s not like video games like Fallout 2 or BioShock have storylines as complex and interesting as any of the literature Savage would like you to think he reads (even though we all know he hasn’t).
@axe863 I wish I could be an actuary!
@thomaserossi Prove it. Prove that the people taking these classes are “illegals and affirmative action [recipients]“.
This guy attacks higher learning, agrees with islamic terrorists, and then says that the west is dying as if it’s not something he wants?
@janses08 Why are there such stupid non-productive classes? These individuals are being taken out of the workforce for 4yrs. They study things which they do not use in their lives (80% of people work in fields that aren’t their majors). Their lifespan is increasing & the age distribution of America is increasingly becoming skewed to the elderly meaning that absence from the workforce and lack of relevant knowledge accumulation is even worse on our fiscal health.
And you think this is trivial?
@janses08 When I was an undergrad, my electives were advanced portfolio theory , risk management, partial differential equations, stochastic differential equations etc
Why waste your time on bullshit?
