Degree Dick Measuring Thread

Mathematics undergrad here. For my master's degree, should I go for Mathematical Physics, Financial Mathematics or Applied Mathematics?

Idk, I don't even think its based off prestige.

if it was I would put law, medicine, actuary at unbelievable , engineering god, etc etc

At the bottom it says what the jobs are rated by, but, who knows.

For number of hours, pay and job security engineering, actuary and medicine would be at the top

I reckon finance, be a quant and rake in fuckloads. I have no idea about any of those markets, im still in undegrad.

If you say engineering, law or medicine, normies wet their pants. If you say anything business they think you are just another average kid.

You'd think something like politician would be at the top, they seem to get away with stealing tons of money from tax payers and putting it straight into their own pockets.

Opinions on being a cpa? Im just starting the classes for the accounting major. Also i live in the silicon valley

They are rich in influence. They have the power to move money but don'tactually possess all that much

>Petroleum Engineering
>God tier
>Software Engineering higher than Computer

I'm studying EE/CS and even I think your list is objectively shit.

PetroE is a fucking meme degree that is in bust right now because it's a shit overspecialized degree in a dying industry.

Software Engineering is codemonkey-tier. If you aren't Pajeet and don't hate yourself, study Computer Science instead.

not my list, found it on internet

it's just a convo starter, calm down

I agree SoftE is codemonkey tier, my friend doesnt have a degree and he works as a codemonkey for a large tech company because he has a great portfolio.

EE/CS is great combo.

Normies are afraid of basically all engineering, from what I saw at my orientation last week. They'd shit the bed if they had to do the kind of math my school requires for an engineering degree.

>Business management
>meh Tier

What?

Eh sorry. I get irrationally upset when people prop up shit degrees that have the word "engineering" in the name then use them as an example that "even STEMFags can't get jobs." Not that you were doing that, just that PetroE needs to die in a fire.

Is it all you have to be proud of?

It is 'meh', what's so good about a business management degree/major?

Business degrees without a quantitative double are a joke and business management is a joke of a degree. Who would hire someone with a management degree?

I hate petrolE as well.

Not being hired, but for self-hiring it is good. Unless you can hit one of those high paying management jobs in big corpos.

So you reckon that a big business is going to hire a recent graduate to do upper management work oppose to hire someone with a better degree that has been there for years.

Also, you don'tneed a degree to be self employed. What the fuck, why waste tens of thousands of dollars on nothing, you can open up a gym or a kebab store or an app without a management degree, the degree only remotely necessary for that would be accounting to learn cash flows and what notfor your business, but, that can be learned from the internet anyway.

Only decent business majors are finance and accounting.

It's literally a dick measuring thread. That's what I'm doing.

I can't decide between EE and actuarial science, the actuarial field seems saturated and it's kind of a specific major, should I just do both?

Actually, with all the technology making breakthrough after big discovery in Archeology wonder if it might barely eeek into Good Tier. Lots of opportunities to find something cool with lasers. Salary won't improve though but maybe a chance to make a mark in history.

Actuarial is great. Most actuaries don't end up as actuaries, they end up in high finance/investing stuff because there is limited actuarial positions.

If you want to do quantitative finance/investment finance, it is a quicker route than doing engineering or other quant degrees.

There are LOTS of exams and what not that stop alot of kids getting through in to the actuarial society (atleast in Australia).

I was considering transfering to actuary as I got good marks in math which let me transfer in my uni, but, I just enjoyed engineering too much.

That math in actuarial is harder than the math in engineering. Also, you have to do stats in actuarial, ALOT of stats.

O yeah lol, when I started uni I had to do the catchup math stream because I didn't take it in high school. I rekt the exams, HD's and what not, the average mark for the final exam was a fail. This was the math before engineering, this was derivatives, integration and what not.

Normies just get too intimidated by this stuff.

how much do you make

Just graduated. $300000 + bonus.
I do insurance modelling for doctors that give incorrect doses/misdiagnoses because of electronic failures.

Nobody else can fill this niche.

You're full of shit.

Jesus Christ. It's a fucking joke. If you read the thread I say I am a CE student. Fuck lol.

>god tier
>unbelievable tier
>not the same tier

Lol, I see now.

>Actuarial is great. Most actuaries don't end up as actuaries, they end up in high finance/investing stuff because there is limited actuarial positions.

wrong must actuarial students can't pass exams, because they have no real interest in math. So they end up being non-actuaries.

MSEE master race checking in
....but i have a shitty, embarrassingly pathetic salary
....in los angeles, california.

I earned a masters degree in African American History and been searching for work for 2 years now.

Working at starbucks to make ends meet.

Really wish I took a different path and studied a useful major during school, but too late now...

Epitome of suicide tier right here.
>Literature & Creative Writing
I thought I had to study something in line with my grades. As I was over 21, could have studied any-fucking-thing I wanted. Didn't find out until middle of second year. Wanted to kill myself ever since.

From my experience at uni, there has been a higher drop out rate of actuaries than engineers.

Smart kids that take actuarial studies/science, but, as this guy says they don't actually care about the math, which there is alot of

>I reckon finance, be a quant and rake in fuckloads. I have no idea about any of those markets, im still in undegrad.

Yeah I see, I'm just worried that someone like Bernie becomes president in the near future and goes full commie and bans all financial derivatives.

What, get a trade. Become an electrician or a plumber. Good pay, secure job, less training time and cheap as fuck.

Calm down, it's not as big a mistake as you think it is. You have an opportunity to become a tradie and make more money than the average uni graduate because there are so many uni graduates and so many of them are getting retard degrees like creative writing.

I know how you feel, I wasted a year of my life doing something stupid as well.

I know this is bait, but, get a trade.

>Eurofag
>Undergrad in accounting
>Masters in international taxes

Did I fuck up?

how do you pay for school? I want to major in economics

Planning to do something like that as soon as I can muster the cash/spare time. Was considering carpentry as I've always enjoyed it and there's tons of demand at the moment.

Been working as a chef for the past 3 years. Started as a kitchen assistant and worked my way up to sous chef but the place I was working in was no way to live. Six days a week 7am til 11pm, then they started calling me in on the seventh day as well. Running the kitchen most of the time because the head chef would make excuses to leave every single day. All that and I was being paid slightly over minimum wage (£7.15).

>Tfw graduated with Aerospace Engineer
>Can't get a job in the field due to shit grades

Why are you showing your employers your shit grades?

You have to in the UK unfortunately.

BA Cultural Studies (Philosophy)
BSc Engineering and CompSci

Couldn't get a job.
Now doing an MSc in Biomedical Engineering and plan to start a small company. I have a viable product in mind.

To be honest I wish I killed myself years ago.

Kek. Every single major thread on Veeky Forums is like that.

Anyway, I'm dual majoring in Computer Science and Economics, due to interest. I'm trying to find a good career path for this, but I figure getting as many Statistics and Data Science classes as I can is generally the way to success.

Pharmacist. I hate it and am trying to get into med school though.

Nigger I have a liberal arts degree and even I could get a job. What the fuck are you STEMswaggots doing wrong for the 'STEM master race' meme to not pay off for you?

Not trying to rub it in, just genuinely curious since apparently the economy doesn't work the way Veeky Forums memes say it should.

>Graduated as software engineer
>all I do is shitpost on /g/ all day
>literally wizard tier virgin living with his mom
>see all these "hip" new startups in the industry
>considering suicide

daily reminder degree doesn't matter, only the ranking and prestige of your school

Get the fuck out of that place, apply for the next starting period of carpentery.

What was it and what was you GPA?

I think it's because so many STEM fags have no social skills can't do interviews

What don't you like about it? Seems very comfy and good pay. Is it boring for you?

>geophysics on good and god tier
>"college education" on good tier
wtf does that mean
>anthropology business is a thing

with a cursory glance, what a shit chart

Got expelled in my 2nd year in Shit tier Degree (fine arts photography)
How fucked am i ?

23 years old btw

Obvious Financial mathematics is where the cash is. It may feel cool being around accountants and being responsible for handling where money goes, but on that end money is a fundamentally boring subject. I can confirm this I'm part of the billing center development team for an insurance company. As long as you don't waste your time getting a masters in pure math lol

>see all these "hip" new startups in the industry
These are all small fag-tier companies ripping off new business. I was a part of one and I know a guy whose behind a start up incubator in my city. It's literally all just faggots ripping off small business who need websites or over-inflating the utility of their app that they're lucky even made a profit.

need to know how u got expelled famalam

SJSU? I'm applying to transfer there for finance, maybe accounting

FAFSA

Eh, the last startup I worked with provided pretty solid and important services.

But then again they brought in millions in funding and got acquired by a multibillion dollar business as an important department within it so I suppose it was one of the few good ones.

> It's literally all just faggots ripping off small business who need websites

What website design/development/deployment rates for small businesses would you consider to be a ripoff?

Why is EE higher than CS?

Pretty much fucked. 1.5 years in a college is basically worthless. You won't qualify for anything high quality with an expulsion on your record.

Should consider if fine arts is for you and if not then do something wildly different and sell how reformed you are.

Try Full Sail, it might get you somewhere and won't have any standards.

BEcause there are so many CS grads, especially on an international level, hence outsourcing.

>What website design/development/deployment rates for small businesses would you consider to be a ripoff?

Not so much the rates themselves but the fact that these companies (larger non-startups being bottle rocket and thoughtworks) rely on selling their appearance as competent professionals supplying the best services in web creation, but really just send half-knowledged college interns and Prajeets to write sloppy unmaintainable code to companies who don't know any better when an experienced freelancer could do it for 3 times less the cost and write actual good code. The only difference between the two is the company logo these shitty startups can slap on to make their client feel better.

Is aeronautical engineering same tier as aerospace? It's only a difference of one class or so.

why does this shitty image keep being reposted

If youre a social retard and dont know to apply yourself whatever you study is worthless. Get over your fucking ACT score, nerd.

why do you not rank law to highest when it has the highest average salary?

Well that's a shame.

I thought that kind of poor development strategy only existed in the enterprise software sector, but I suppose it's not surprising to see the same in webdev.

>caring about degrees
Stay poor

Yeah, what loser would discuss education. Only poor people care about what they get educated in.

I didn't rank it. It's a convo starter. Fuck

Not from the U.S. Projecting much? Just because I am in CE doesn't mean I am a social retard.

people here say econ is a meme major but everywhere i look it's high in median salary around 80k.

what gives?

Success is highly depenent on prestige of school.

Politician would be law, right?

It's very stressful, you don't use any of the knowledge you were taught in pharmacy school, you don't get respect, and it makes me feel like i'm working at McDonalds again. All about how many people you can serve in a day rather than making a difference.

Veeky Forums help me out here. I'm 18 and my passions are politics, history, and philosophy. I don't even have any strong political opinions, I just love studying all of it. I also do really basic webdev shit that I enjoy, but I only recently got into this (js, html, css, php only kek).

What should I major in? I'm scared of actually touching real programming languages because I'm pretty bad at math. I also don't want debt for now reason, so I want to be more financially secure before even going near an academic type career.

Is software development/web development awful now? I don't want to be competing with rajputs and lees the rest of my life.

I wish I was good at maths

>accounting
>below economics

I know that it looks worse when you first see it, but that shit changes once you get into the workforce.

Economics is just accounting in aggregate.

>be me
>didn't finish high school
>went to shitty college for IT diploma
>making $75k and received an offer to become a partner

Okay I'll bite.

Have you got experience in running a household yourself, and budgeting for yourself? This is very important.

Don't do politics. The conditions on entering that field are shit. Very cuthroat.

Just go out and research potential fields you may work in; actually TALK to people in firms/potential employers about pay and conditions, plus what is expected of you.

>both meh tier
Bretty happy with my salary, so I can't complain.

What kind of careers are you looking into? If you want to become an academic, it really is in your best interests to start young, especially if you want to do it in a different field than what you originally studied.

which IT diploma specifically?

what is wrong with geophysics?

network engineering, but it was pretty much a general IT course. bit of networking, windows server stuff (ad/exchange), linux, virtualisation, project management, etc.

was a waste of time imo, you can learn all this shit yourself as long as you know what you actually need to learn.

i've only heard that being a high school teacher is hell. how much shit do you have to grade? how much effort do you have to put into it? how do you deal with garbage students?

Eh, most of my high school teachers were lazy and gave us multiple choice tests.

Im sure if they are smart enough they siphon tons of government funding into their own offshore bank accounts.

Probably Meh-good tier degree here. Graduated 2 years ago with a degree in medieval european arts and craft (Year 664 - 812). Havent found a job yet but might get one soon so its ok

PETE Eng. from A&M here. This is true.
Stay away from this meme degree and do something useful with your life.

Doctorate in Women's studies.

I'm glad you guys put criminal justice in ok teir, there are comfy, good paying jobs to get like private investigative work. They are just difficult to get.

mech. eng. student here
does this mean my dick is godlike?

3/2 Program guy. Liberal arts with a focus on psychology and biochemistry/genetics with a BS in engineering.

geology and math here.
hope to get some /out/ish job somewhere in some godforsaken location
