Ah man, that post made me horny for math.

I'll finish my diploma (= master) in electrical engineering / medical engineering within a year. Don't know what to do afterwards. Options include working a little and getting an MBA, studying law and become a patent attorney, do a PhD in Medical Life Science or the craziest one: study 5 more years and get an MD.
Whatever it is, the follow-up will be to make some money, then buy a few sheep and a nice little house on Islay and spent the rest of my time sipping whiskey there.

people who think science and math are not creative subjects, need to think twice before replying over the internet, sitting at your home, hooked to a modem, communicating with TA server, over fiber optic cables, laid undersea, crisscrossing the globe...staring at an LCD screen, attached to your computer, with a microprocessor, made of semiconductor technology, in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, created from breakthroughs in science and maths, by brilliant scientists, who were creative enough to harness nature's laws, to develop innovative technology...it all began, when an apple fell on newton's head, and he thought about gravity, which lead to development of astronomy and calculus and optics, which lead to speculations about the nature of light and then of propagating electromagnetic waves, and then came Faraday with his electricity and then came Edison with his bulb...same time, people were understanding fluid mechanics and radiation and absolute frames of reference and the ether which led to the study of special relativity, then general relativity and also quantum mechanics and then came the wars and creativity was harnessed in making guns and planes and radars and sonars and mortars and nuclear weapons and everything exploded with the information age and here we are today debating merits of science and maths over the internets...

cue people who think social sciences are dumb...

maaaan

that skool shit is a JOKE

For me it is a BS in Meteorology with an MS in GIScience. Degree'd curriculum is over now (to those getting their PhD - my hats off to you) - but the learning will never stop until I retire. Sigh.

I don't see what's wrong with that. That's a big reason I like nursing.

LOL come on all of that was just rote memorization.

I dunno why you guys are even arguing it. You'd think the goal of any person pursuing education is to be well rounded.

With nursing (correct me if I am wrong) you are constantly learning the new advancement in science and technology for saving lives - with my field - the more you know - the quicker you advance and the higher you get. If I were to continue to learn meteorological things through the career (which will be a given) that is fine...but the reason for my sigh is that to get ahead - I have to know more than just weather. It is the science behind it...the technology that drives the supercomputing systems...the networks behind the scenes...the computing languages behind the systems (perl,python,java,C++, etc). Imagine if you had to understand how to fix your EKG machines when they broke (not physically...but internally). I wish I could just continue with learning weather - but if I do - I will never advance any higher than I am now.

It's sort of the same in nursing. Continuing education/upgrading/knowledge of practice standards/current research is a mandatory part of being licensed to practice...since everything is evidence based.


edit: but yeah, I see what you're saying.
