What major is most Veeky Forums?

Economics and philosophy. Economics for the employability; philosophy for a fulfilling 4 years.
>Pol sci
isn't very useful or (imo) interesting.
>International studies
sociology-tier
>psychology
meh

you might be on to something. being effay and studying liberal arts is overplayed and expected.

Mathematics

what does one even do with a mathematics degree

psych student going into substance abuse therapy, you learn the ins and outs of people while still being employable, people are never gonna stop abusing drugs so its some good job security.

>le epic poete maudit xDDD

not really, just like the life in art-schools but can't see myself getting a job to pay of my debts so I will probably end my life if I don't have an occupation I'm comfortable with after my 20s

Civil engineering major, because having a job is effay

best of luck friendo

You look for patterns and trends.

So you work in banks, insurance, hedge funds, places like that, and you try to guess whether it riskier to invest in this thing or that thing.

Of course there's academia, but also: any time a company/gov. agency wants to do something sophisticated, there's going to be be some sort of math involved (e.g. differential equations, cryptography, etc.). They need people who actually understand the stuff, and who don't blindly plug into formulas.

Anything that you end up not actually using.

Jobs involving numbers are not Veeky Forums.

anybody else a bio major?

>biomedical engineering
>1
I remember 2 months ago I googled it and literally everywhere it said that it's shit

>tfw mechanical engineering

>economics
>employability

Bro... you're a fucking idiot.

do whatever the fuck you want cunt. don't let shitty market, school, or people stop you from chasing your dreams. now fuck off and stop posting these shitty "is x effay/Veeky Forums xD!1!12" threads

I'm in computer engineering, it's pretty good.

Not effay, but the amount of money you'll make above other majors is 10x more effay than an art degree

>amount of money you'll make above other majors is 10x more effay than an art degree
but it's boring
especially if you are an artist

>tfw double majoring political science and economics

3rd year information systems student.

50 more mins before class starts. 3.5 hr gap between classes, kill me

>>>/Life/

but computer engineering is quite different from electrical, no?

I became a stock broker.

>tfw all my leech family members try to get me to win them big money

Fuck those freeloaders

do they throw fits if you refuse to do for free something you get paid for?

Only effay if you went to a very good art college desu

Depends on who it is. A lot don't care and are just proud. But a lot say "Come on, user! Invest this for me! Invest this for me!"

I'm more than willing to help those kinds of people IF they're willing to basically be a client. I work my ass off, living in expensive cities, travelling to the most corrupt countries risking getting shot in the nutsack just to make a living for myself, and these cretins decide that I'm a cash cow and want a relationship with me.

I have offered to do some free stuff for very close family members, but because they are so close they usually turn me down.

Math and philosophy double major here, can definitely say that math is extremely un/fa/. All of my professors dress like literal autismos and there are maybe a handful of kids in my classes that understand the concept of fit.

Philosophy is slightly better but there aren't as many trendy hipster types as I thought there'd be.

only effay if you make a name for yourself and make money

Economics for sure. I just finished my M.A in Econ and now I'm an Economist in D.C crushing life.

Econ + Poli sci is very common ftw

Econ + Philosophy is what I would do however.

I thought Economics was the most employable out of the list I compiled
"International studies" really isn't sociology-tier at my school considering the number of people that go on to work for the state department / in washington

I'm doing a computer science major and a finance minor starting this fall. Did I get memed!?!?!?

I'm pre-law (Int. Studies / Public Policy) and I think I'm gonna go for a full law degree when push comes to shove.

Every dude in my family was a lawyer until my dad's generation in the f a m.

Physics Masters, specialising into Astrobiology -dat effay?

prospective informatics student here

programming was never really my thing, but i like computers in general and math/stats and Big Data(tm) is very Veeky Forums nowadays. plus it's more interesting to explain than computer science, and pretty much guarantees a sysadmin or librarian position as a fallback, both of which sound genuinely enjoyable.

I never understood how university system in America worked. what are all those majors, minors, pre-somethings? do you not just choose one field of study and get a bachelor, then master, then maybe phd? enlighten me bros

Maybe, but the memes are true. I'm also starting CS soon in a program with 4 paid internships lasting 3 months each. Should be pretty nice.

the one that makes you feel hip but is mostly a gigantic waste of money

Nothing if you don't have a plan.

My degree was in English, my bf's was in mathematics.
He's currently unemployed because he took it without an idea of what to do afterwards and now finds he hates all the jobs open to him.
He's looked at teaching, something to do with statistics, a shitload of bank work, and apparently there's a lot of demand for actuaries but he's not interested in any of it and realises his degree is worthless because he doesn't know a programming/coding languages (or something) and the interesting math jobs come from having those skills apparently.

Whereas I had a job offer with a fully funded masters included before I graduated because I knew what I wanted and tailored my degree and extra curriculars around it.

If you don't have a plan, math won't necessarily get you anything better than art. Despite what Veeky Forums tells you.

Yes, but someone who studied fine art at slade is still more effey than some prat who went to London southbank

every major is just one field of study + general education requirements

there are often mostly similar but still slightly different majors like computer science vs. computer engineering vs. electrical engineering that will share 90% of the courses

minors and multiple majors are for people who want to study more than one thing. who gives a shit?

just out of curiosity, what sort of career are you planning?

crypto is great but actually inapplicable if you aren't great with both discrete mathematics and computer science. practically need a double major

Archiving

>tfw Stuctural Engineering senior at a top 5 school

feels good lads

Graphic Design

STEM is obviously the least Veeky Forums

>tfw U.S. infrastructure is crumbling

but allows you to lead a Veeky Forums life with that dollar

but nobody you work with gives a shit about fashion so you will never fit in

just leave work at work man

>tfw have to live in a world where you either have to be a boring scientist or an eccentric attention whore to make decent money

I'm hoping to find those internship in NYC

>science is boring
maybe to plebs it is

I want to live in NYC and make decent money, what should I major in? Open to a lot of things, I was considering hospitality because I hear the tourism industry is booming in nyc.

enjoy being murdered

I have no idea what I want to study after I finish school but I'm mostly good with numbers and maths so I'm guessing Economy or something
>tfw I want to work in a bank
Tell me effay, am I going to waste my life? What should I do?

you can always be a financial advisor if you don't like banks

At my university they draw from the same pool of classes. Computer engineering students just take Computer Science classes instead of more Physics like the EE students do.

Can kill yourself now to while tipping a fedora.

neat, how do you like CE?

this
you will be surrounded by khaki shorts and workboots forever

this is my dream job how get

im finishing up my economics BA this year

I feel like it combines the best parts of CS and EE in terms of being able to do solo projects. But it's also a pain never being able to take a single class just for fun for the entirety of university, especially since I'm not entirely confident in my choice of major but am too far in to back out now.

I look forward to graduating debt free with an average starting salary of $70k though

How hard was it? I wasn't very good at math or computer science in high school

Thinking about doing Biology. Anyone have any experience with a bio degree or know someone with a bio degree?

political science is Veeky Forums, so is philosophy and law. hard sciences can be Veeky Forums. anything to do with marketing is trashcan tier. engineering anything is autism

STEM

People who don't give a shit what others think of them are effay as fuck.

is being an orthodontist fa
please say yes its too late to run away

Ok, but what does your work entail exactly? I really find economic systems and their mechanism in society to be fascinating, however my current perception of the investment/corporate business world is there is a high emphasis on maximizing "profit" with no deeper or more meaningful goal in mind (something I want to avoid)

Communications and Public Health

The meme life chose me

i just know that STEM is the least effay field, excluding maths probably. probably architecture or philosophy are effay majors

I do Advertising and Marketing

It's all about presentation so I like to think it's kind of Veeky Forums

And not entirely unemployable

i'm going to start studying language and text sciences this year .
Probably going to end up unemployed but at least it makes me seem educated

All stats on BME are so fucking skewed. There's only like 9000 current jobs in the field, so the "projected growth through 2020" of 60% is only like 5000 jobs.

>>
The more life science oriented subjects (ie chemistry, psychology, biology etc) are considerably less sperg than stuff like math, engineering, physics etc
Although I agree, architecture is v effay, kinda a fusion of design and stem

Is Anthropology effay?
What about Archeology?

bump for anthro,

really considering it

Philosophy is the most effay major but your parents wouldn't like that

Not the same user, but just finished a BS in econ at a top 50 school and am considering pursuing a PhD.
Core micro classes focus on profit maximization under perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, monopoly, etc. as well as taxes, transfers, etc. and core macro classes are mostly on the banking system and a little bit of development.
Outside of the core though you can pursue a lot of topics that are not strictly related to profit maximization like game theory, welfare, consumption and saving, behavior, econometrics, development (what I focused on), and much more.
Honestly, it kind of upsets me that economics has this corporate and profit maximizing image when it really seeks to explain how people make choices.

are you disappointed they turn you down or do you respect that?

lol or you get shit on for dressing like a fag
ft. me in my engineering classes wearing anything that isn't a frat shirt and levis

Anyone studying statistics here? How is it?

>dressing well suddenly makes you not "one of them" to an outsider.
Right and we all know people looooove outsiders, especially in college.

lmao who gives a shit about virgin neckbeards in checkered shirts

>political science
Do not
>economics
>philosophy
Maybe

I'm not disappointed, I do respect it. The family members I WOULD do it for are too content with their lives to need me to help them. I could buy my family and yet for example when I go visit my grandmother she'll absolutely insist on buying me dinner and what have you. My friends are brooding multi-millionaires and thusly don't need my help lmao

Why not Poli Sci?

;_;

EE is one of the most broadly applicable engie majors, you'll be fine brotha

Veeky Forums has a good thread on this topic:
YES: Economics, Psych if the degree will literally say something about neuro. In either case, double major.
MAYBE: International Studies, only if you're willing to work abroad and double major. The State Department track is a decent one.
NO: Philosophy, Political Science

>Pre-law
Please don't. Law schools want unique degrees, not yet another variant on the Political Science tard.
