>>11161414when I was in high school I wanted to major in math. I am. and I've always known it's retared but good luck getting a good research position with your "yeah I taught my self math and son't have a retarded piece of paper to prove it".
It sucks, I honestly wouldn't have gone to college if I didn't HAVE TO.
I wish there were just competency exams like the bar.

Imagine going to college without knowing what to expect, exactly.
Imagine wanting to learn math without even looking into math careers, requirements, specializations and what those look like.
Imagine just going to college with the "yeah I was good at this in high school cause I got an A I should do it professionally" attitude.
imagine majoring in chemistry and never even reading an advanced cemetery textbook to see if you'll enjoy it in the long run or not.
that's quite the fuckign bill to just go around exploring.
