why do science students they are so much better than humanities students

Let me rephrase that, have you ever started your A-levels? Are you preaching about stuff that is beyond your life experiences and education level?

If you are beyond that age, I mean no offence It's just that there are many people on TSR (they are popping up in this thread) who are still in like year 11 but feel like they know everything about university, graduate life and beyond when they still haven't started sixth-form

If society needs something, society will pay for it.

Science graduates have to subsidise arts/humanities graduates because many A/H graduates will never earn enough to pay off their student loans.

Exactly. People pay to attend the theatre, to buy books. Society has deemed these worth paying for, and therefore worthy of the same respect that is afforded to STEM pursuits.

You're exaggerating, no one is going to look down on you because you picked different subjects. Having said that, I've seen someone comment that humanities subjects are harder than science, but that's pretty wrong. Although people have different opinions on what's easy and what's difficult, the one main thing is that science is very objective and humanities are subjective. Therefore in humanities you get marks for most valid points you make, but in sciences (especially maths) there is only one valid answer, so if you don't get that, you won't get the marks. Even back at the simple GCSE level I actually had to learn the science and then could bs my way through history and English. Nothing wrong with doing it at a level though, I'm sure the content is still difficult

This isn't really a fair comment as this is fairly balanced with the fact that Arts degrees cost a lot less than Science degrees due to the increased contact time and equipment costs.Arts degree students subsidise STEM students for the cost of their courses, which can often be a lot more than £9000.

Okay so I do all humanities at A level. My science teachers told me I could have done those subjects if I had wanted to but I enjoyed History/Literature much more. The students doing sciences and maths at my college seem to look down on those of us who chose humanities as if are subjects are less worthy. This is despite the fact that at the end of lower sixth many of them struggled writing a coherent essay because the as course hadn't required it. I hate it when people say sciences are the only useful subjects - we can keep designing new technology and helping people live forever but what's the point unless life makes you happy. Many people get enjoyment out of reading, music and just being able to communicate with others.

Actually you are wrong.

Government gives a huge subsidy to theaters because demand for many productions isn't enough to keep them going.

How many English graduates become successful authors? 0.01%?

<<< Standing proud as a Humanities graduate paying off a significant amount of my student loan a year after graduating.

Talk me through why you feel the need to tell us that? You are paying of a loan you chose to take out, you shouldn't feel the need for self praise by doing what any normal person would do.. Humanities half wit i'm guessing..

Because STEM > arts and humanities in almost every important aspect of life

Who are Governments elected by? The people. Besides, Governments subsidise scientific research, I fail to see your point.

First, one would have to define success. One could state that even if the book is only bought by one other person, it is still a success. Also, how many natural sciences graduates become successful scientists?

stem students tend to have poor social skills.

Can you just imagine a world full of people with your mentality. What a dull world in more ways than one.
