wasting years learning about poll optimization and legal jargon when I want to learn about the organization of society. i guess i assumed the so-called 'science of politics' encompassed that more so. it sucks because I'm a senior and at this point I guess I'll just ride it out

what made you hate it?

just ended up realising I'm not passionate about programming, it was the maths that i liked. plus the industry is horrendous, i had a corporate job for a bit and it left me completely jaded and not wanting to program for a wage ever again. i also felt generally a bit stunted from doing a pure stem education which I've been trying to make up for on my own time since.

i relate to the corporate culture thing so much. besides how tired they make me, being locked inside a cubicle all day 5-6days a week having to deal with office culture? lets say i get distressed to put it very gently.

cant blame you, made me want to quit quite a few times throughout the years i spent doing this garbage.

I'm a different person but I personally have really hated how intricately connected all the STEM departments in my uni are to defense companies that come hire here.

not the same here, but similar. we are always coding or managing infrastructure for evil fucking people, thats for sure.
