Sheldon is such a science snob. Sociology rules!

Citation needed. Don't be an ass, especially if you're not going to back it up (you know, the way science works).

Ummm people in the hard sciences have to write papers and attend conferences communicating their work. As many papers as I wrote in undergrad, I should have got an English second major.

my globalization teacher should be paying me, i write ten page essays about things having nothing to do with my major so he can have a job despite not majoring in a useful field.

@Blackman1000ify was that sarcasm? :)

[Baronzann]

@uni4dfx I find it funny when people in the "hard" sciences think their degree makes them more employable. Unless you go into research and academia, concrete knowledge about the natural sciences isn't super useful in the work force. Writing and communication skills are.

I find it funny that many of the same people who deride Psychology as an invalid 'pseudo science' , put religious type faith in IQ tests which were developed and invented by these same pseudo scientists.

Sheldon is against Sociology because he is anti-social. But Sheldon and Sociology are both useful in their own way. I love this show :D

@the1musiclad , I guess the better word for 'creation' is 'discovery', a creation and a discovery are similar. For example music scales weren't in essence 'created' by people, they were discoveries of frequency patterns which exist in nature. I am not really schooled in linguistics, but in the trend in the modern social sciences in general the approach is to try follow a purely scientific model, in order to be deemed legit, I think this approach has been very limiting.
