AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the benefits of three academic fields: Psychology, Literature and Arts, and Journalism. Participants express varying opinions on which fields are most advantageous, particularly in relation to different majors. One viewpoint emphasizes the importance of Literature and Writing courses for enhancing reading and writing skills, which are deemed essential for all scientists. Another perspective highlights the value of Psychology, citing its broad applicability to understanding science and life. Additionally, there is a suggestion that Journalism may be particularly beneficial for science, engineering, or math majors, as it equips students with the skills to communicate complex ideas to a general audience. Overall, the consensus leans towards prioritizing Literature and Journalism for their practical applications in various fields.

tell me from your perspective which is most beneficial? but of the three, which two are best?

It'll probably depend on what your major is.

In my experience, I would go for a literature/art/writing course over the other two, with journalism second. Every scientist should be able to read well and know how to write and express themselves correctly, in my opinion. Literature/writing courses can help with this.
 
I would pick A and B :smile:

I personally like Psychology, and Literature was sometimes fun too.
 
Ive taken psychology, and honestly its the best course I've ever done. I has taught me so much about science and life in general. But the writing courses couldn't hurt you. I haven't done them so I dunno.
 
Well, if you ask me. I think the journalism class (if you're a science, engineering or math major) is probably going to be most beneficial since sometimes you'll probably have to express technical ideas in terms understandable to laymen. I don't really see how the other 2 would help.
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
