African American studies

video games studies

cock sucking studies

I study cyber security and believe it should be up a tier

>information systems

Not even on the chart. Should I just kill myself Veeky Forums?

I am an electrical engineer.

Its the lamest fucking job ever. Do not go into electrical engineering. Boring as fuck. Should be suicide tier.

I studied Philosophy

I would definitely agree it's shit-tier

Military is definitely NOT shit-tier if you do something good. I know someone who's an officer in the Royal Engineers. That's a pretty great job.

I'm actually about to do it. What's so boring about it? Don't want to kill myself

What do you do in it?

I design data centers and other small data rooms. You do CAD drawings, write specifications, spec out equipment and just deal with bullshit.

Most of it has to do with my salty attitude toward corporate garbage. But it can't be entirely me, because pretty much everyone I know has gotten out of engineering after a few years. A lot of them are in related roles, but no longer do actually engineering because its painfully fucking boring and repetitive.

I've left twice, but have had to go back because I went broke. Hopefully the third time will be the last.

As I posted earlier, I'm in information systems and have wanted to go into data warehouse design. Am I likely to encounter the same kinds of problems doing that?

The IT side of it is probably much more interesting than the infrastructure side, but I don't know much about IT stuff.

If you are interested in infrastructure, this white paper pretty much lays everything out. pueda.ch/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Uptime_Institute_Data_Center_Tier_Classification_5th.pdf

The only recommendation I have for anyone is go into computer programming. It offers the most flexibility of any field I know, while still offering decent pay. But I feel like computer programming might be in a little bit of a bubble now - kind of like the oil jobs were before the bust.

>geophysics god
>geophysics good

hitting a metal plate with a hammer and measuring velocity is retard-tier

Ok, thanks. That seems much more like the physical infrastructure side of things than logical design and requirements analysis, which is where I think my strengths lie.

I know everybody's into programming now, but I can't seem to work up any particular enthusiasm for it. I'm studying SQL, Java and Python but to me they're just means to an end rather than something I could see myself doing full time.

CS, first year

I hear ya. I started to take one of those udacity programming courses to change fields into programming and got bored with that too. I'm too old to go into programming now.

If you know your engineering nuts and bolts but don't want to actually do it, why not go into tech consulting? A friend of mine did EE and is now making bank as a consultant for Telstra (big telecomms company here in Australia).

I mentioned almost everyone I know has left engineering - they have left for those types of jobs.

I have a super spotty career history now, so my options are limited. Employers hate the excuse "I quit my job to pursue day trading." I won't last much longer doing this shit. I'm about to the point where I would rather make 10 bucks an hour at a pizza shop than do this shit.

Should've gone to grad school, cuck. I'm busy making quantum computers and shit

If you enjoy it good for you.

Fair enough, if you don't enjoy the field, you don't enjoy the field. But I think writing off EE as the "lamest fucking job ever" is somewhat extreme. It demonstrates that salary/prestige/whatever is no fucking way to choose your career, and I'm sorry it didn't work out for you.

My sympathies, user.

I'm finishing med school this year

I am very biased I admit. I also have experience in only a portion of the field. But I can't recommend anyone go into a field similar to mine. Quantum computing may be fun. Data center infrastructure is not.

Yes, I am very salty.

>Studied anthropology
>got job in sales
>learned to code and became a marketing consultant.
>genuinely enjoy my job and make six figures at the same time
>make more then all the cucks my age

College major is literally a meme. All you need to do is figure out what you're good at and then use that to make money.

>prestige

Prestige is such a bullshit normie concept. Can you eat prestige? Can prestige keep me warm or pay off my bills? Do what it takes to make money. If a pornstar makes more money then you, that literally proves that society finds this person more valuable to you. "prestige" is how normies cope with mediocre.

"A..at least I'm a doctor! so what If I have to wait ten years before I make money, America despises me and my patients don't trust me. I have prestige!"

"S...so what If I have 500k worth of student loans I have to pay for law school. I'm a big fancy lawyer now! Sure I'm getting a shit salary to do shit work for 80 hours a week but I have prestige!!!"

>If a pornstar makes more money then you, that literally proves that society finds this person more valuable to you.

Are you Jewish by any chance?

from one bro to another, forget any notion of investing right now. concentrate on developing literally any other skill. if you get a job at 30k/yr right now, youll make more than a decade of your current "ivnestment" strategy.

get a different job, and get gud at it

Look here

This, if you want to invest, see it as a hobby, not as a means of getting wealthy. The wealth part will come later after you become skilled in something.

>I like working with computers and stuff

Computer engineering student here. CE isn't like building computers, but, if you want to learn how they work then do CE. Secure job, good pay, respected by other people, you aren't stuck with computers, you will be valuable in other roles like programming (if you learn a few more languages than what college teaches you), finance people like all engineering students, but, especially the "hard" Engineers like CE, EE, ChemE, Aero, etc.

You probably won't learn much about computers in first year other than maybe an intro to Computer science or some intro to programming classes. But, it gets real heavy on the electrical part of Computer Engineering in 3rd and 4th year. It is challenging, but, rewarding.

2 year I.T. program at a shitty community college, making bank now.

>triple major in 3 God-tiers
Feels good

heyy, i really enjoy working hands on, i could maybe see myself getting into coding but my thing is math isnt my strong field. Is there a lot of math when working in CE?

I was wondering another thing with the $10k that I just received from the insurance thing, im assuming the best thing rn would be to pay for my education instead of investing, I want to start earning good money im just at a loss figuring out how to do it :/

Got an MA in international relations. The field is riddled with nepotism.

I'm working in digital marketing now.

>he doesn't understand how a market works

Pornstars make money because there aren't that many people willing to degrade themselves on camera. There are more people with the potential to become a doctor or a lawyer than there are attractive people willing to film their gaping asshole.

Compensation doesn't translate into the significance of your work, it only measures how replaceable you are.

International Relations student here...

I feel you bro, I like my field but hell nepotism is strong, if you don't meet the right people or you don't want to suck some dinosaurs balls during uni you can forget of being anything but a teacher really

might as well learn to code and go freelance IT

Mathematician here. I wish I did more CS or Computer Engineering.

Math & Economics w/ CS minor (also working on CFA Level 1)

Psychology. Im going to med school though

without a doubt pay for your education over investing. There is 0 chance that you will be able to beat the loans interest rate as well as the compounding interest that you will be subject to if you don't pay it off.

Also, the time saved from being fixated on the markets.

Yes, there is math. I HAVE to take atleast 3 math classes as well as 2 pure physics classes.

Once you learn that math, the math in your electrical classes and other stuff you learn in CE is relatively easy.

If you reckon you could handle the quantitative stuff in CE or any E really, I would recommend you go for it. But, if you can't, go for programming. Not SoftE, if you did SoftE you will be doing math classes as well.

I suggest you learn programming at a programming boot camp if you want to programming. There isn't that much hands on stuff other than circuits and some other things. You will get to do a fair few labs stuff just in the intro physics and engineering units.

Mexibro quant dude

Economics major here, i genuinely enjoy it, and couldn't see myself studying anything else. But reading Veeky Forums makes me paranoid since it's considered meme tier here. People irl seem impressed I guess and the stats show its pretty up there for median salary.

Veterinary school, specializing in fish.

Studied business management in a university outside of the top 20.

Got loads of offers before I even graduated, now work in a telecommunications company as a sales manager. I earn above the average wage in the country and it's only my second job. Job was Chinese-speaking only which I learned in China when living there for two years.

Literally easy mode.

Barely tried in the degree, did my dissertation in two days, got a first honours.

2L in law school.

Currently double majoring in Philosophy & Political Science with a minor in Criminal Justice, History, & Ethics. I plan on attending law school.

Why on Earth is Transportation ranked so low?

Transport planning isn't that bad, it's just a pretty regular professional job writing policy. I work in the field and everybody I know earns a decent wage, roughly the same as your average solicitor or engineer.

Media studies and what?

God tier standing by. I've studied medicine.

I regret not studying economics and finance.

Isn't that just the business branch of Comp Sci?

I wouldn't worry, I hear they make good money.

I just studied regular comp sci. Now I need to find someone who will hire a guy with 2.2 Bachelours with Honours. (That's pretty meh by the by)

basic electrical engineering, hope i don't have to soon enough with bitcoin going to the moon

>broadcast and media
>Too unrealistic
Why unrealistic?

Networking is ez, and it will be a stable industry for many years to come.

Optometry

Accounting as great tier? I think it's for meh tier what do other Veeky Forums think

Seriously architectiture meh tier and good tier you're kidding me why it's on both tier

Applied Mathematics here, looking to do a MSc in Financial Mathematics. Is there anything I can do in finance that ISN'T being a quant?

Joke's on you my job is too shitty to even get on the list.

look into consulting

I've thought about this. What kind of "consulting" do they expect mathematicians to do?

either analyze data or Just bullshit businesses that hire you. Management consulting is a field that takes people in with any kind of degree, so the consulting you will be doing is the same as the consuting and english major would be doing, do an internet search. and harass your professors about what kind of jobs the other math masters students did after graduation. there are plenty of in the field of operations research. so do some internet research.

this, why is it there twice?

Not too many good media outlets on the east coast besides way up north.

Senior CmpE major here. You might want to watch out if you aren't good at math. Depending on where you go math may be intense at times, and with any good program it should. Just know that if you decide to go in that direction. Not that hard work can't overcome it, just know you would have to work at it if your math isn't strong.

IT isn't awful and still related to computers. Every company now has a network and needs people to manage it. A friend of mine, equally as smart as I am and capable of doing the math for CmpE, started out as CS but changed to IT. He works for a consulting company that manages IT services for several businesses.

Currently studying economics, but for now I'm finishing up my gen ed credits at CC so I guess I'm not REALLY studying it yet. So far I've only taken intro to micro and macro Econ, does the difficulty spike at the 2XX and 3XX level classes?

Dude, just join the SW (dark) side. We have cookies.

t. CompE working in SW

Philosophy and now I'm in the military.
I have like 2 bills, and 30k savings a year,

Kinesiology BS, one or two more semesters

Plan to attend Occupational Therapy school or Orthotics & Prosthetics, but the latter has turned out to be more of a cash grab.

Otherwise, god help me, maybe get a cert in sonography/ultrasound or something

Yes. I breezed through Intro and passed Intermediate econs without attending class, utterly failed econometrics.

Econometrics, you just have to pay attention during and work at. Don't be like me.

Intermediate Micro/Macro were some of my favorite courses. Econometrics is one of my least favorite.

Also; Economics, but I left school because I couldn't afford it and was a retard about how I went about going and had to move out of state temporarily.

Am taking off til I get back home, am taking some edx.org CS classes. Will probably go for a Comp Sci/Econ degree.

How the hell is foreign languages suicide tier?

Also, no bio or chem majors in here? I've found a lot of people here are into math, so that makes sense

architecture is as dead as dead can be. work is scarce, people honestly dont give a damn about architects, and the amount of proposals vs jobs is absolutely insane.

you can always get a job as a 13/hr cadmonkey though, so i suppose thats something

Thanks for the advice Veeky Forums bro. I'm not all that good when it comes to mathematics, so I'll try to read up on econometrics to prepare myself.

IR, master in international relations?

did you know there are Neets on here RIGHT NOW that will be getting rich investing in meme altcoins and will have had to never worry about picking a major, studying, cost of living etc

Neets who are buying Trumpcoin RIGHT NOW will be the ones you future waiters will be waiting on.

Im applying for a bachelor in international environment and development Studies (3years) which then leads to a master in international relations (2 years)

With that + working experience in developing countries and knowing the language of the dev. country, how hard would it be to apply for a job in the embassy down there?

tl;dr IR master, 4 languages, applying for a embassy job (work my way up from bottom), how hard?

am also curious about this

won't lead to a job

>no Quant Math in Unbelievable tier
discarded

You can generalize any major like that.

'quant math'?

what would non-quant math be exactly?

yup... in fact you're more likely to not be a 'quant' with that degree and no phd

plenty of mid office jobs in risk, finance etc...

quant dev roles in IT etc... too

plato.stanford.edu/entries/substance/

in the context of a financial maths masters then working for a financial software vendor and configuring their software at client banks. Can involve working on new implementations, upgrades, enhancements etc.. you need to understand the financial products, pricing etc.. how your software prices stuff, how you configure some new security in the software, how to set up swap curves etc.. basically you become a jack of all trades

philosphy grads statistically make a pretty solid mid career income. this is a meme chart.

Currently working on an applied math degree from a top 5 school in mathematics. Is it meme tier? I have heard horror stories about applied math people unable to find work, even out of really good schools.

ain't a finance degree from unranked uni
deemed

useless?

Environmental science at an Ivy League school. Pretty comfy

gl with that

disproportional number of autistic types on those courses... if there are lots of people struggling to find work it is probably down to their autistic traits rather than the degree itself which is obviously rather useful

Maths. Going Year 2
Still can't decide between App. Math or Stats.

Anyone here in actuarial science or have any experience with it? Not sure if I should do some kind of good engineering (chem, computer, electrical) or actuarial science. Is the actuarial field as saturated and boring as fuck as I hear a lot? Can I do other shit with an actuarial degree or should I just major in stats or something?

I'm pretty sure you will still need to get the actuarial certification/exams from those actuarial organisations. Heck, if you want to be an actuary, just pass those exams.

Just major in something else

Doing carpentry at community college

R8

nursing (-:

I make decent money, but MEP drawings are a slow boring death.
How many times are we going to do the same formula today? just 45 times before lunch
Boss wants it changed for no reason?
Sure. We'll just redo 2 weeks of work for it again
Oh? We're in a time crunch because boss changed too many things before deadline and it's our fault?
Guess we won't be going home for another 6 hours every day this month.
Engineering is autism tier. If you don't have autism, it's a slow and painful suicide.

I switched my major from Marketing to Finance, did I make the right choice?
