    I'm sure you've experienced this firsthand in working in Acoustics - overconfident assholes with physics degrees who think they know everything there is to know because they know the words "turbulence" "fourier transform" and "decibel" and a couple oversimplified models.

It's one of the many reasons I hate Kate Wagner.

    She's a shithead that didn't pay attention in class and couldn't get a job with the same meaningless degree my boss decided to get through distance learning, despite the fact that a year into it she discovered she usually spent her time arguing with her professor about math.

    And my boss's degree was in interior design.
