help me choose Veeky Forums 3 options I am a sophomore student in an average uni with 3.9 GPA and I need to choose a career path. My parents can pay for grad school.
Option 1: Dentist dentistry doesn't make me hard, but I don't hate it either Good: -from what I heard, not too hard -probably the best pay out of other options Bad: -have to talk to people -a lot of time studying
Option 2: Computer Engineering will graduate a mediocre uni, and get MS from NYU. Good: -I'm OK with computers -Doesn't sound boring -good outlook -decent salary Bad -sitting around all day -Boring?
Option 3: Go into finance, become an investment banker with an MBA or something. Good: -slight chance ill become a millionaire Bad: -shitton of work -I'm beta af -boss will probably be a dick -the job is too alpha for me

OP here, continuing on mobile
Option 4: Professional Cock-Sucker Good: -Get paid to suck dicks -Get to choose my customers (if I'm in the mood for BBC, I can have it all day long) -Able to command a high price (my step-dad says I'm the best suck he's ever had) Bad: -mouth might get sore -might get pozzed (though that's pretty hot tb.h)
Jacob Kelly
OP here, I had to go to my moms computer
Option 5: Kill my self Good: -everything Bad: I am still living and will not post on /r9k/ anymore

>Option 1: Dentist sounds ok
>Option 2: Computer Engineering You like programming? No? Then you'll probably not enjoy your 2 years at university. Still with a decent GPA MSc from NYU you can do pretty much everything you want, including a lot of jobs where you don't have to sit in front of a computer all day.
>Option 3: Go into finance, become an investment banker with an MBA or something. You won't be invited to interviews for IB with your current CV and you won't get into a decent MBA program (so that you'd get invited) either. Also the workload is very hard (9am to 3am is not uncommon) and the hierarchy is pretty strict ("don't be an asshole" rule has not made it into IB yet) but yeah you'd end up with 7 figures net worth if you stick it out.

>paying for grad school Why not pick a real field and get paid for grad school?

>3.9 GPA Cash in on that high GPA. Study for a couple of months, knock out a 170+ LSAT and get a scholarship to a T-14 law school. Law schools don't give a fuck about your undergrad prestige/ECs so you should be fine. A 3.9 plus a 173 LSAT or so will get you into either Harvard/Stanford Law and give you a fair shot at Yale. You might even want to consider a JD/MBA, since B schools tend to be more lenient on the work experience requirement for these type of students.

I have a very strong Russian accent, I'd make one shitty lawyer.

NYU's engineering programs are shit and every recruiter/HR knows it.
Ryan Gomez
you can't become alpha if you stay in what's comfortable as a beta, do things that you think are too alpha for you and soon they wont be
Austin Peterson
also def not option 2, it is getting flooded with people thinking it's the future. wages will fall
Logan Jones
NYU Tandon, its a branch of NYU specifically for engineering
Thomas Fisher
Yeah, I know. It's crap.
Cameron Smith
damn, i thought it was good :(
Logan James
do you think civil engineering might be more stable?
Caleb Myers
It doesn't live up to the rest of NYU as it was once Polytechnic, a mediocre school that desperately needed the NYU name and branding to survive. They merged only recently.
Jason James
A1 - lots of money, lots of work A2 - kys retard A3 - this is not a job its suited to only one type of personality and for those who are dedicated, cutthroat environment A4 - kys faggot A5 - kys
Camden Hall
defiantly, a handful of civil engineers even work in banks as advisers for massive projects/massive investments, again, this is alpha-tier territory

How hard is it to get into an MBA program with a 3.0 gpa?
Angel Adams
You dont need grad school for comp engineering my man. Get the degree and go to work. 2-3 years real world experience is worth way more than a masters. You can get up to 6 figures in under 5 years if you are talented and driven. Can get there in 10 years even if you're a borderline retard
Colton Cooper
What MBA program? Harvard, Top20 or just any MBA whatsoever?
In terms of what's important: - high GMAT score - brand-name employer - brand-name undergrad university - high undergrad GPA
For a chance at a top MBA program you want to tick off at least 3 of those 4, so it's not impossible to get in with a 3.0 GPA but you have to make up for it.

didnt you get the memo, NYU engineering aka Tandon is for failed pajeets
