Alright Veeky Forumsentists...

Alright Veeky Forumsentists. Today we're going to separate the money making Veeky Forums fields from the purely meme ones.

Fields that profit to go into:
>Electrical Engineering
>Applied Maths
>Mechanical Engineering
>Computer Science
>Bioinformatics
>Medicine/Pharmacy (if you can get in)
>Pharmacology
>Chemical Engineering

Meme bullshit where you won't ever make a dime:
>Astrophysics
>Chemistry
>Physics
>Civil Engineering
>Biology

Anyone think of anything else, put it on the list.

>Bioinformatics
>Profit
pick one

>doing science purely for money

>not wanting 300k starting

> mfw society picks sci subjects depending on how much crap they get instead of picking a interesting subject that you would love doing. Live well wagekeks

> tfw I can see the money spook now before any of you :)

> inb4 "omg money is everything, the world is driven by money and therefore as an autist I am (I got bullied at school, I was lazy but smart so I failed every class but math(also i read edgy manga and play vidya games, i dont need to read books))and now I can show the bullies that I am rich and I got high status; haHaa!"

Applied maths and actuarial science are the only ones for making real money.

Add environmental engineering to meme tier.

>the world is driven by money
It is, though. Research requires funding. And the person giving money is always higher in the hierarchy than the person who receives it. (unless the money is extracted by force, but I guess that's just the case of not having enough money to buy more violence).

>not working purely for money

physics isn't necessarily bad, depending on your personality and whether or not you're willing to sell your soul to the devil. consulting firms and military tech will take you gladly if you didn't specialize in string theory or some shit like that during your PhD.

>military tech
>selling your soul to the devil
Hot ideology you got there

>I guess that's just the case of not having enough money to buy more violence
Not to mention, if it happens too often, money becomes meaningless. Money is only money if its transfer is mostly consensual.

it's not just about making money, it's making sure you're actually going to work in the field you prepared for too.

True in Rare cases, but that is not an excuse to choose another subject over another. Also, the world, people, may have money as a driving force, but it doesnt mean that you have to.

> murdering people
> not a mortal sin

You are incorrect sir, I work in bioinformatics and have a respectable paycheck.

>Veeky Forums - business and money

>making six figures

How much do you make per year, sir?
If it's less than $100K, I recommend you leave this thread.

I studied Japanese for several years, even got an academic degree, but now I develop business software/websites.

>>Computer Science

No.

Is Civil really a meme degree?

>Going into final year of Animal Biology

I'm so fucked

>Applied Maths
What exactly makes the most money in applied maths?
Is working in the oil and gas industry in Qatar a good idea?

No, just overcrowded.

Applied math makes the most money because we can prove and we can program and we can easily assimilate the topics of other fields due to our solid abstract math foundation.

These threads are always depressing.

Well, fuck you too.

>physics
>astrophysics

except they can make a killing working in finance

>Applied Maths
and
>Computer Science
is Statistics.
Bretty big now and growing fast.

What about aerospace engineering?
Although it is similar to mechanical to an extent.

>Civil Engineering
>won't ever make a dime
Is this actually true? I would imagine that they'd make about the same as the other engg majors.

EE master race btw.

I have to think of a 3rd year project for my Mech Eng degree. Any ideas here?

>except they can make a killing working in finance

>studying physics
>work in finance
>not retarded

I fucking love science

wtf is this influx of oompa loompas of science? what are memegineers doing in a science board?

>Political science

>Go into finance because fuck it

>Earn dolla dolla bills

>civil engineering under non-profitables

Thought they were ranked #2 in salary along with job availability. What are you speaking of?

Chemistry isn't a meme field, but it is a pretty generalized one. In fact, it's such a general science that it has a wide scope of applications, though the employers usually want a chemist that specializes on the particular subject they need him for.

>pharmacy

Not a ton of people know this, but pharmacy is fucked. In the past 15 years, we've built an extra 60% schools.

Itll be the new lawyers

>going to school for chemistry
>want to extract dank nugs in Colorado for a living

420blazeit faggots

>we've built an extra 60% schools.
What do you mean by this?

> Veeky Forums fields
>Electrical Engineering
>Mechanical Engineering
>Medicine/Pharmacy (if you can get in)
>Chemical Engineering

Going to university this october, doing a Chemistry masters, where are the best jobs, what should I specialise in? (I know I should go for what im good at, but I don't know what im good at so id rather try to be good at the best ones)

how fucked, exactly?

>was hoping to go to pharmacy school

Ive read a interesting research on MBAs. People who've chosen MBAs based on profit did not get as sucessful as the people who got MBA on things they liked. Cant link

So does it cancel the effect if I choose the degree I like based on profit?

Why do you fucks always call Physics "meme degree"

It's the most fundamental of all sciences. It's the least meme science degree there is.

>took a meme degree
kek enjoy your epic meme

>don't have response
>resort to meme
>mission accomplished

>biomedical engineering

definitely a profit field if you manage to get employed

Not all value comes from how much you make. You can make a decent amount from the "meme bullshit" and actually make a contribution to human knowledge rather than just putting stuff together to make profit for some shareholders.

What do you guys think abt Mechatronics? Lots of my friends took it and seems pretty interesting

>actually make a contribution to human knowledge
...with projects that have no application beyond mental masturbation circle jerking.
Nobody is saying that pursuit of knowledge is a bad thing, but relying on the charity of a grant committee isn't all that great.

Welcome to the real world, where the shit you do doesn't matter and we're all just doing what we're told.

currently engineering student working as pharmacy tech I haven't met many pharmacists happy with their choice of career and even fewer pharmacy interns that have realized they sunk far too much money and time into a) a career they seem to already hate but chose because of the money and b) an over saturated retail pharmacist market

Murdering and killing aren't the same thing

>chemistry
There's no money at the BSc level. You will work as a lab slave unless for minimum wage unless you have a higher degree. That's just how it is.

If you have a higher degree, you better have studied you ass off finding the most relevant research projects or that is going to be useless too. Seriously, you should be obsessing over which lab you do your research in. There are plenty of very smart people doing PhDs who are getting experience that will never be more than stamp collecting. Their only route to money is professorship, so good luck with that. This is where all the complaining about chemistry comes from. There are still a couple fields that gets mad stacks, and professors are very VERY well paid at hardcore research unis too, but no one wants to do them/ aren't aware of them.

Even if you do go into organic chem which is by far the most over saturated field, and you do get a pharma job there, it's normal for people to be laid off by the thousands when they've been in the profession for too long. That keeps big pharma from paying their scientists too much and then the new batch of PhD grads comes in to take their place. Rinse and repeat.

So yeah, this is a pretty shitty field, but if you develop a refined understanding of it BEFORE you do a PhD you will probably be fine.

>moral relativism

Why? We need a lot of people in ecology

>it's impossible to enjoy a career in a field that also happens to be lucrative

I'm currently working on a computer science BS degree and am considering adding a physics BS to my undergraduate work load. Would that be a waste of time in your opinions, or would the combination somehow change the meme-ness of physics alone? Would it be smarter to stick with CS for now and add physics to a masters or doctorate level work load later?

Also still don't really get why physics is meme tier if you have a realistic job expectation for after college

What areas are good in applied math? I'm a senior math major looking at doing a phd in applied math. Trying to figure out what the fuck to do in applied math.

You misunderstood. the point is that you should chose a job that you would love doing - even if it pays bad. if you get a lot of money and you love the job at the same time - great . But one cannot simply love a job because of the money itself, an abstract idea(meme), you will only "love" the benefits(benefits that only "rich" people can afford) from money; which you will soon realise is a meme too

Only if you're a meme field faggot.

Being /MechEng/, I feel pretty good about constantly being patted on the back about my chosen field.

>mechie
>proud about getting asspats from high school guidance counselors who have a degree in child counseling

Are you enjoying your summer after your first year of undergraduate "engineering" studies friend?

Well if those fields make profit, then using your sound business acumen, you'll just reinvest those profits back into R&D thus making them more profitable. This has the added benefit of freeing other sources up for research that has no immediate application.

Everyone is happy.

Nigga I'm strictly talking about these threads.

[spoiler]Also yes, I am.[/spoiler

Why don't all of you, autist Veeky Forumsfags, realize once and for all, that every university degree is more or less a meme. A degree guarantees you NOTHING. It's skills and actually WORKING YOUR ASS OFF that could make you successful and rich. Being an oblivious conformist would only make you unfulfilled and miserable. Stop posting such hollow threads. They are as useless as your dumb opinion, nobody gives a shit about.

Well, yeh and neh.

A degree, as in - the sheet of paper that says you've finished uni, in itself might be worthless. But finishing an MSc. or PhD. usually goes hand-in-hand with working with some top-notch researchers around the globe, you forge connections and networks, advertise yourself to the scientific community, ..

If you're a shitty student, have no drive, then of course nothing of these will happen and you go back to your mothers basement, not finding a job for years to come.

If you have that drive though, you're in for an international career in science that is usually well-paid. Not great money, but surely enough to live comfortably.

Take your major-wanking elsewhere. This shit isn't science at all.
Sageru.
