Scientist isn't a thing. It's like artist, a self-designation.

No, its a thing, people have the title "scientist." Its just a job, tho.

My kid holds a Materials Science degree and worka as a Materials Scientist https://americanprofessionguide.com/materials-scientist-career/

It'sa you, Mario!

Eeii, mama mia!

Nuh-uh.

Just do a quick job search. I know plenty of scientists.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Researchers, professors, testers, archeologists, chemists, physicists, biologists.

Show me someone walking around with "scientist" on their lapel. It's like a cartoon joke.

Staff scientists at work vanish into thin air upon receiving this profound take.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Staff assassins move in to protect them from staff ninjas.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

It's a real staff infection

What kinda essentialism is this? Artist is also absolutely a job title. Sure, you can self-describe as well, but there are people that get paid to be an artist.

I'm a warrior, a poet, an entrepreneur. Who says I'm not?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

No one. Like I said, you can self-identify but it is also a title you can have from a job or similar.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

You did say that. I'm corrected.

Bachelors of Science? I know you could argue that is applied to a lot of degrees, However one of my kids is a Materials Scientist. It is the Diploma and Job. https://americanprofessionguide.com/materials-scientist-career/

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'll bet the bachelor of science degree is in something. BS in psychology. BS in materials (new to me). So you're going to be a counselor, or a psychologist, or whatever a materialist is called other than materialist which doesn't make sense.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

I'm not sure what you are saying. Its not Materialist its Material Scientist, they study the science of materials and get a diploma in Materials Science, and the job is called Materials Scientist. Its basically Math, chemistry and metalurgial sciences rolled I into one discipline. Thus the link I posted, here's another https://materials.princeton.edu/education/undergraduate/what-materials-science
