The STEM Career Flowchart They Don't Show You

The STEM Career Flowchart They Don't Show You
The classic career path flowchart that no academic advisor ever shows you. Math and physics majors diverge into the same destination: unemployment with delusions of intellectual grandeur. Meanwhile, industry keeps wondering why these brilliant minds can't figure out how to format a resume. Four years of differential equations and quantum mechanics, zero minutes spent on marketable skills. The cow just standing there represents the rest of us who chose practical degrees and are now watching from the sidelines with mild amusement and stable employment.

The Great STEM Showdown

The Great STEM Showdown
The eternal academic rivalry between math and physics majors captured in four perfect panels! Math girl starts with the classic superiority flex, only to have her smugness utterly demolished when physics girl calmly points out they study the same advanced math... plus they actually apply it to something in the real world. That final panel of pure mathematical rage is basically what happens when someone realizes their entire personality is based on being "better at math" but they've just been outmathed. It's the STEM equivalent of bringing a calculator to a particle accelerator fight.

The Math vs. Engineering Salary Equation

The Math vs. Engineering Salary Equation
The eternal academic rivalry between pure math and applied engineering just got real! Math majors love to flaunt their theoretical superiority with all those fancy proofs and abstract concepts. But then someone drops the salary bomb, and suddenly knowing how to solve for x in seventeen dimensions doesn't seem quite as impressive as building actual bridges that don't collapse. Nothing ends a mathematical high horse ride faster than the cold, hard equation of market value. Pure knowledge: 1, Practical application: $100K+ starting salary.

I'm A Little Late To The Party Here Sorry

I'm A Little Late To The Party Here Sorry
The pure mathematician has suddenly found themselves in the engineering world, and they're completely lost! 😂 While mathematicians love their elegant sine functions in isolation, engineers are out here building actual structures with them! The stick figure's existential crisis of "I guess we doin engineering now" perfectly captures that moment when abstract math crashes into practical applications. It's like showing up to what you thought was a theoretical discussion only to discover everyone else is building bridges with your equations! The transition from "here's a beautiful sine wave" to "now make it support 10 tons of weight" is the academic equivalent of bringing a calculator to a construction site!

The Femboy Space Program

The Femboy Space Program
Who said rocket science can't be fabulous? Water rockets operate on Newton's Third Law—expelling water at high pressure creates an equal and opposite reaction that sends the rocket skyward. But the real innovation here is proving that thigh-highs and science are completely compatible fashion choices. The space industry has been missing this aesthetic revolution for decades! Next time NASA wonders why youth aren't interested in STEM, maybe they should consider adding striped socks to the dress code. Breaking barriers in both gender expression and amateur rocketry simultaneously—that's what I call efficient experimentation.

E&M Hitting Differently This Semester

E&M Hitting Differently This Semester
Physics students experiencing the ultimate dilemma! You thought you wanted friends and parties until the Lorentz force equation entered the chat! 😱 That moment when F = q(E + v×B) becomes your only relationship status. Who needs dancing when you can spend Friday nights calculating how charged particles move through electromagnetic fields? The textbook becomes your wingman and Maxwell's equations your only dance partners. Trust me, nothing says "I've made poor life choices" quite like finding electromagnetic theory more exciting than actual human interaction!

My Calculator History Is Embarrassing

My Calculator History Is Embarrassing
Engineering students using calculators for basic addition isn't laziness—it's trauma response ! When you've spent hours calculating partial differentials and triple integrals, you start doubting your ability to add 7+5 without making a catastrophic error. Meanwhile, business students are confidently doing simple math in their heads while engineers triple-check that 2+2 actually equals 4. The calculator becomes your emotional support device—because one misplaced decimal in engineering means a bridge collapses, while in business it's just called "creative accounting"! 🧮✨

Engineer vs Physicist: The Eternal Rivalry

Engineer vs Physicist: The Eternal Rivalry
The eternal rivalry between physicists and engineers plays out in cartoon form! While physicists are busy arguing about theoretical perfection (and apparently going on strike), engineers are over here like "I know enough to exploit it" - which is basically the engineering motto. Who needs to understand the quantum wave function when you can just make the darn thing work? This is the scientific equivalent of "I don't need to know how the sausage is made, I just need to sell it." Engineers: turning physicists' beautiful equations into actual useful stuff since forever!

The Eternal Academic Rivalry

The Eternal Academic Rivalry
The classic engineer vs physicist showdown! While physicists are busy protesting that engineers "don't know anything about physics," the engineer smugly admits they know just enough to make stuff that actually works. It's like saying "I don't need to understand the quantum wave function of butter to make a sandwich." Engineers: turning physicists' elegant theories into messy, functional reality since forever. Meanwhile, physicists are still arguing about string theory while engineers built your smartphone.

The Scientific Affair

The Scientific Affair
That moment when you're casually interested in science but then math shows up and suddenly you're in a committed relationship. The classic scientific bait-and-switch! You start with cool explosions and dinosaurs, then suddenly you're staying up at 3 AM calculating partial derivatives and questioning your life choices. It's like ordering a fun cocktail and getting served pure ethanol instead. The math-science pipeline claims another victim!

Unleash Your Powers In The Comments!

Unleash Your Powers In The Comments!
The eternal quest to find the perfect intersection between romance and differential equations! Mathematical pick-up lines are basically what happens when desperate STEM majors try to integrate their personality with dating algorithms. Just imagine walking up to someone and saying "Are you the square root of -1? Because you can't be real, but you're still the solution to my equations." That's either getting you a phone number or a restraining order—no in-between. The beauty of mathematical flirting is that rejection can always be calculated in advance with 99.7% certainty (that's 3 standard deviations for you stats nerds).

Believe Me, I Love Chemistry

Believe Me, I Love Chemistry
The eternal struggle of chemistry students! Regular chemistry with its formulas and equations is coming at you like a freight train, while organic chemistry is straight-up derailing your entire academic life. Meanwhile, you're just trying to pick the one flower of knowledge you understand while claiming "I love chemistry" through gritted teeth. The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one - saying you love something while actively avoiding 99% of it. Classic academic survival instinct!
