That's the truth, unless you are actually talented and have connections for most liberal studies tier things.

The degree only affects your success if you attend a mid-shit tier university.

If you attend a top-tier institution like Cambridge you're set irrespective of the degree you take. Even if you took women's studies there you would land yourself with a comfortable government/think-tank job.

Just putting this out there if anyone is becoming dissuaded from studying their passion and could get into an elite university.

Look up the employment rate, it's worse than sociology in many places. Yes, architects are a vital part of the construction industry, but they're also a tiny, tiny part. A friend of mine went architecture, ended up being a draftsman. Most of his classmates weren't so lucky and ended up working a McJob or going back to school for retraining. Either way, he could have been a draftsman for much cheaper and much faster by studying EDDT - and be more qualified not to mentioned.

Hell, I'm an engineering technologist and I beat out actual engineers for my job, they didn't have the networking skills or the perfect GPAs so they were slinging it down low.

The difference is in the % of people in the profession who make it big, those who do alright, and those who do nothing but gruntwork for their entire careers.

>>25948253
Yes but thats the fault of the people, not the degree. They're not doing gruntwork because thats the likelihod, they're doing it because they probably shouldnt have been doing law in the first place. Even without connections there are many paths a law grad can take that are equal or better to a good solicitor job.

And honestly, making the right connections is not as hard as those people doing gruntwork would make out. ITs their own fault they're there and they squandered a degree that could have had them doing so much more. Its the equivalent to a shitload of mechanical engineering students becoming janitors at high schools and saying their degree sucks.

Teachers college is massively oversubscribed in many areas. In my province less than 10% of them will ever teach in a classroom. Every shitty university has a teaching program but there's only so many jobs available each year. The turnover is non existent because once you're in, you're set for life, you either wait for them to retire or die, and there's only so many open spots from that a year, certainly not enough to satisfy the armies getting the degree.

>>25949157

Then why is Medicine not in the top tier?
>Near 100% employment (seriously, not even pharmacy or law can touch this)
>Literally save lives, are the only value-providers in a hospital (business-wise)
>Salary is consistently upper class; low specialties ~200k, high specialties 1M+
>Job Environment = literally being the boss at work, your say is final; public respect

Also Biochemistry (Which is basically molecular biology) > Chemistry OR Biology
And you have biochem twice in the same tier?

You go to school until your late 20s, and don't start making good money until you're well into your 30s? By the time you're rich you just wasted your best years in poverty and debt.

Went to school, Majored in Political Science. Military recruited me to go into Nuclear Power for submarines. Get a free Nuclear Engineering masters and a marketable job. Why is everyone mad?

You guys are just memers who hate people who are different than you. We get it, you have weak people skills, are good a math and want to feel superior.

Are you a teacher now or something?

>>25952306
Most business graduates don't make that money, the delusion of business students is insane. Yes, some of them will be very, very rich, most won't.

>>25952366
Only one of them gets to enjoy his 20s and have an entire decade on the other of building a career and making money instead of wallowing in more and more debt.

>wanting to work 70 hour weeks in brutal environments for poor pay

Even chefs admit that it's a brutal industry to be in, and it's not for most people.

Point is you will never get the opportunity to make millions as an engineercuck for life

>>25952789
Well, you kinda do. I mean oil companies, consulting companies, they all have management making millions that are engineers. Some of the richest people in the world are engineers. I don't get what you're saying.

Also why do you have such an obsession with making that much money? In any field you have a very small chance of making that much, and being that rich is overrated; best to just settle for well off.

>>25952603
> Are you a teacher now or something?

No. Right now, I'm just relaxing and enjoying my first year of retirement. But at some point I would like to see if I can volunteer in an educational environment. For example, I could do something like mentoring at the high school robotics club, or some other STEM thing like that were my expertise in software engineering could help.

School is 21-25 or 22-26 if you go straight after college instead of waiting. Residency money is like 60-80k/yr where I am but that's just 2-5 years and then you should be hitting big bux as an attending between 27-31 years old.

And you don't feel poverty or debt in your student years because #1 the debt isn't something you pay back until you're done residency (meaning big bux time) and #2 the debt's interest rate is barely higher than inflation where I'm at and #3 you get loans of roughly 50k/yr in spending money while you're student (an amount you can easily pay back with your future salary no matter what specialty).

The downsides are really just the residency hours but after that you can literally work part-time (~20h/week) and bank over 100k/year.

>>25952789
A business degree is literally a meme. You learn nothing from it-- its sole purpose is to make connections.

If you want to be a businessman, go use that money for university to startup a venture of some sort instead.

Chef friend makes $22/hr, got offered work from dozens of places out of state with accommodations.

With the current food culture, good chefs are basically rock-star status nowadays. Plus there's a shortage of them in the world. Anybody can cook, but chefs create menus and innovate recipes.

How is the software engineer life anyways? I'm in uni right now for it.

>>25946015
Lol I'm not going to bother reading this shit thread, but just know that you guys are all ants fighting for which wagekuck job is the best. No matter what, you lose! The true path is that of an entrepreneur/business owner. Work for yourself and make money off others. Anything else belongs in the shit tier category.

>>25957999
Nice trips. My dad is an entrepreneur and he makes more than I'll ever make as a software engineer. I'd like to come up with some sort of business like he's done but I don't really like the marketing business he has set up.

>>25958058
I'm on the path of retiring at 22 and I still don't understand why people consider going to school and joining the workforce. Talk to him for advice and see what business you can start with the knowledge you have. Or find a mentor or something. Anything is better than working a job for someone else.

Is it bad to major in psychology if I want to go to med school and become a Psychiatrist?

Oil will recover. The days for 30 dollar a barrel of oil will be a lovely memory for consumers when oil bounces back in 3-4 years and were back up to 120 a barrel. Perfect time to get into petrol eng, geosci, chem eng if you wanna make some of dat dere oil money

Why is computer engineering bad? I want to major in that instead of comp sci but this chart always makes me do a double take. Fuck this

Depends on your experience and level of education. My roommate has a bio degree from Oberlin and he makes decent money, but he spent a few years getting shit pay at a university lab before his current job. If you're really motivated, you can make it work.

>>25958181
Don't be so sure. I think the reason for the oil dip right now is because China is using less oil in their industries. The world is moving forward.

The only thing that could spike oil prices would be if Africa all of a sudden underwent a massive industrial revolution.
