>>16830947Good thing /sci/ doesn't code and every single person here has a PhD. Nobody here is affected by layoffs because you're not coders, otherwise you'd be at /g/.

Feel like this general is on life support or everyone lurks and laughs at the few who post
>>16831033There's not really a lot to share outside of hiring season. Other than dooming and glooming about the absolute state of academia, what do we have? Job-havers are busy with jobs. Academics are abused cucks who keep going back to it despite the pay and conditions That one math PhD is probably still unemployed and it's definitely a them problem not a math problem.I guess there are the undergrads who keep coming here asking the same questions over and over again.

>have to start hiring for another PhD position next month
>>16830972I don't have a PhD yet and I code. Well, last couple of months I've mostly been telling my minions to code actually, only writing some light embedded stuff myself.
>>16831033I come here to bitch and moan, not offer or solicit advice.
There's a conference I'd like to present at and they're looking for an extended abstract (up to 800 words) in their call for papers but I'm not entirely sure what one is.I figure it probably depends on the discipline but is it usually just a very short, condensed paper?
Be honest. How cooked am I?
bros should i undergrad in physics, some discipline of engineering or computer science/engineering? im leaning towards physics but i know ill need a masters/phd after but potentially more money. while engineering seems like i can get a job easier but the maximum i can get from it is much lower. and computer science is computer science.plz help me decide which one will fuck my up life the least
>>16831749if you aim for money/stability, then engineering is probably your best bet.
