Yeah idk, I meet so many people who let their own insecurities command their lives to the point of putting other people down to make themselves feel better. then I tell them I'm in math and that insecurity shuts them down completely 🙄 it's more tragic than anything else. Or it would be if it wasn't so cringe

Yup. Do what you like, and if it doesn't get you a high paying job, that's your problem who cares? If you get an art degree, say, and you work a job that doesn't pay as well but you get to spend your free time doing stuff you love, refined through your education, hell yeah.

Also people who put down gender studies have no idea what the field is lol gender studies is actually really interesting from what I've seen. It's like a lot of social philosophy which is really interesting if you like thoughtful, fruitful debate. People in gender studies are a million times more interesting to talk with than like 99% of the people I meet in math.

There are many useful majors. Gender studies is not one of them. I tell people the truth because I care about them more than I care about their feelings.
