How did you guys deal with realizing what all of you fags will do will not amount to anything significant in the real world? All your teenage dreams of being the Next Einstein and Feynman slowly being suffocated by reality. Falling for the STEM meme. The contradiction between your ambitions and the impossibility, what do? Pic somewhat related.

I don't know OP, but what caused your life to be such a piece of shit that you have a psychological need to try to make everyone else feel as horrible about their lives, as you so obviously do?

Same.

Also, if you go into science because you want to be "the next Einstein" you're putting the cart before the horse. And I already realized as a teenager that I wasn't a genius.

All I want to do is work in something I actually give a shit about because everything else seems like a waste of life. Thus I only really ever had one option.

I don't know what you mean by significance in the real world, but I doubt a scientist's contributions are any less significant than those of most other professions. What's the significance achieved by driving trucks/pushing money around/selling trinkets? In a wide enough perspective it's all so insignificant anyway that you might as well do what you like.

My childhood dreams included a wife and a cat, and a small cozy house near a train station. And it's coming true next tuesday as we're finally getting the cat. Two cats, actually.

I always scoffed at the retards who wanted to be pop stars and astronauts. Hopefully they've all received the reality check they so badly needed back then.

Because I don't study for money or fame...

I study for knowledge.

Enlighten yourself anon
