how accurate is this? >tfw dont know what to major in, heard

>>1032995

Look,

The only point of the degree is to show employers that you can take orders well, and work hard.

So just pick the degree with the most taking orders and work (Quantum Nuetrino Physics in a cyber kinetic vacumm) and that degree will have the most value

The easier the degree, the less it is worth

it's not

what is a "target school"

>>1032995
only quantitative degrees are worth a damn
even in finance an engineering major would be preferred over a finance one

>>1033184
and not sure how old this chart is but stats and cs should at least be god tier, given the current trend in big data and data mining

>>1033184
>even in finance an engineering major would be preferred over a finance one

Lol shut the fuck up

CRNAs make more than a lot of engineers lol

It's mostly accurate. I don't hear any about any majors below "good tier" ever doing super well. Try to aim for good tier at least

>>1033183

>>1033187
he is right thou.
.
the main problem with the chart, is a lot of that stuff doesn't matter unless you are going for a masters in it. Such as mathematics/astrophysics/ any science/ Not saying you can't get lab work with just a B.S. but you won't get paid a lot.
Like Veterinary studies. You don't do shit with a b.s. in that. you go to fet school after. and it is on the same tier as accouting, which is a 5 year degree

>>1033149
It's obviously been created by STEMfags who, to be fair, did have the most desirable degrees 5-10 years ago.

It's all regional variation about what's in demand though. I live in the biggest UK FinTech hotspot outside of Londok for example, so the only worthwhile degrees are those which will get you into either development or FSI.

>>1033160
>target schools

Unless you're at an Ivy League school, Oxford, Cambridge, or similar, it doesn't matter where you studied as long as it's in the top 10% for your field of study.

You can study at a top university and still be a fucking pleb that no bank will want to hire.

>>1033311
No he isn't? He literally isn't right at all.

I had to do a skills assessment of my Consulting practice within my Big 4 firm, I could tell you the breakdown of degrees and can tell you right now, you're talking about of your ass.

Highly quantitative roles, a lot of maths/statistics based degrees. Otherwise degree makes no fucking difference, it's the person you hire not the degree. Degrees are just a tick in a box to get to second stage.

The best market data analyst I know studied History of Fine Art. Stop forcing your bullshit engineering meme friend.

>>1033336
You misunderstand me. I just said engineering>fiance. I know degree doesn't matter

>>1033339
If we're going for overall quality of the degree, then probably.

Utility in gaining employment with an FS firm? Finance is more useful, solely because of the domain knowledge involved.

They might have a better degree, but I'm not going to hire a maths PhD over a BA French grad to teach a French class.

I know so many plebs who studied supposed top engineering disciplines though, typically haven't seen the same from Finance grads. Also I'm 100% not a Finance grad. My Business Technology degree is much more memey, but as a Business Technology Consultant, it's kinda useful.

>>1032995
Wow. Actuarial is actually listed, and it's exactly one tier below mathematics.

That's more accurate than I expected.

Why would you listen to unsourced images on 4chan?

Honestly the best major to go for in my honest humble opinion is MechE.

>stable salary

>versatile and broad
>challenging, not a lot of people can get an engineering degree
>always in demand

I would've chosen CS but you just mostly code for a job. I guess it doesn't matter if you enjoy coding.

>>1033982

no they're not. That's why they are target schools. To keep it simple: if you're at a target school let's say you have to be top 20% to get into banking while if you aren't at a target school you have to be top 10% or even top 5% if the uni is a shitty uni.

>>1033339

engineering is better than finance if you want to work as an engineer. If you want to wort in the finance industry then you're wrong.

But don't worry, all the engineering students are arrogant af thinking they are superior to other just because the others don't study engineering.

>What would a legitimate chart look like? What would move up and what would move down?

Fucking nothing because nobody in the world let alone 4chan's business board(with 50% NEETs) can make such a chart. It's so subjective and based on different parts of the country let alone world.

In Eastern Europe studying Engineering is fucking retarded and you'll barely be making shit whereas if you freelanced/did projects on the internet you'd make 3x as much as average engineer., just as an example.

In some parts of the world and at certain times(not now) Petroleum Engineering is toppest of top-tier.

Stop looking at 4chan for advice and think critically, fuck man it's really weird to see people actually falling for and believing 4chan memes. It can't only be me but back in the day it (at least seemed) like everyone understood 4chan was not a source of quality information and just a place to pass the time.

>>1034629

>nobody can give any advice or recommendations ever, medieval history is just as good as engineering or commerce

Bit of a downer senpai.

>>1034662
They can give advice based on some info obviously but how are they suppose to make a fucking comprehensive chart about majors?

It:
a) Doesn't take into account location
b) Le current year, soemthing are more in demand at different times
c) Goals
d) Talents and skills
e) Country and more specifically part of country
f) What school was attended

>>1034674

So tell me what I should do based on my location etc.

>>1034675
So post those details about yourself for a start.

Otherwise following a chart on 4chan is literally retarded.

>language translation
>average tier

It is if you go major on that, but if you´re already bilingual and have studied anything else you can get a very decent amount of money there. Many doctors move to SE Asia and translate specialized documents for more money than they´d get by working as doctors, and come back after a few years drowning in money.

I got a degree in Classic Philology, I´m barely even trying and I´m getting 1200€ a week.

It´s true that you need passion, though. I´ve been translating as a hobby since I was 12, and still I have to put a huge amount of time in getting new clients.

I don´t see me doing this for life, but it´s a quite nice way to sustain myself while I work on something else.

>>1032995
My advice to you OP: don't get a general degree. If you aren't studying something you'd do for a low wage, it's not worth the investment because you'll find something you'd rather be doing.

I will be called a faggot for shilling this path, but if you're looking for a general degree, work some random jobs first until you discover something you're passionate about, then do that.

>B-but you won't want to go back to school once you start earning money!

>B-but muh Scholarships!
If you're getting a free ride that's a consideration, but there are scholarships for mature students too, and after enough time has passed, your parents' money won't be a factor any more. So it could actually help in that regard

I´m not really interested in that region. I did want to learn some other ancient language, but Greek and Latin were enough trouble at the moment and I decided to get German and Chinese instead. Failed miserably with Chinese, but at least I did learn German.

Greek isn´t THAT bad, actually. The vocabulary´s a bitch, and it´s so close to modern Greek that you can learn that too for a huge boost.

Anyways, Latin´s where its at. At first Greek is harder, but after you reach an intermediate-advanced level you find out that Latin is several times more horrible than everything Greek might throw at you.

I´ve had exams with only one question: translate one single fucking sentence, not much longer than this one. You can use dictionary and a grammar book.

Almost everyone failed.

Still, it´s the teachers who really shit it up sometimes. Like that one guy obsessed with the theater of a specific era, location and style, and requires you to become as proficient as he is after his +40 years of specialization. Also to have the same opinions.

Or that other fucker in a Linguistics class. Linguists say there´s between 3.000 and 7.000 languages in the world. This guy agreed with the 7.000 folk. He made us learn ALL of them by name, and their relationships to each other. It showed up in the exam - we got three groups of languages and had to recognize which didn´t belong there. Out of a class of 200, only <20 didn´t immediately hand in a white paper and leave. Of those, only half of us passed, and no one with more than a 6 (0 bad, 10 perfect). I did it because he´d handed every topic (15) for the students to develop and present to the class. My group got the languages of the world. Worst semester ever. Teacher also wanted a bunch of other shit about every language family, most of it not even documented for half of them. And maps. Oh god the maps.

But to be fair, you only had to know about Romanian being a romance language to pass that exam question.

>>1038340
>talk to people in the real world and you'll see how useless a pure mathematics phd is.
1) Who said it was a 'pure mathematics' PhD? That's different from a math PhD.
2) Even if it was pure mathematics, there's still jobs in that. Even if we take the purest of the pure math degree and ignore the applied or statistical jobs, you can still take up the jobs that will recruit from people from any degree background (for example, retail) or any numerate degree background (finance, accountancy, etc), and that's even ignoring the doors a PhD opens (research, post-doc work, etc).

The only bad thing about having a math PhD, or in general a PhD in any subject that doesn't do much to boost your employability is that it can overqualify you for some things, but if you wanted any of the jobs that a PhD would overqualify you for, you probably wouldn't have got the PhD in the first place.

accounting major y/n

>>1039524
Depends on what you want. Accounting isn't for everyone. Here is a breakdown of the industry through my experience (very biased):

Pro's:
-a deep understanding about how businesses/taxes work (depending on which path you choose),
-Many different areas to go into (Audit financials, do taxes - business and individual, Audit IT systems, and hospital compliance like HIPAA just to name a few)
-High employment rate,
in Public Accounting you get:
- lots of connections with individuals who work in big businesses,
-If you make it 5 years in public you make a pretty penny
-Per diem and mileage reimbursements that are like micro bonuses (if you are cheap)
in private Accounting you get:
-a standard, 40 hour a week job

Con's:
-Everyone considers you "boring" or thinks you do taxes (Even if you have never touched taxes in your life besides the CPA Exam)
-You'll never be famous unless you do something really bad
-The CPA Exam is a bitch of a time waster that needs to be done
In Public Accounting you get:
-Shit ton of hours. Big 4 will work you like a dog during busy season to the point where some people quit in tears.
-Travel a lot (may also be a perk)
-Have to be very social and it's very Cliquey
-Mediocre pay for your work the first few years (started at 55K) cause they're training you
In Private Accounting:
-Mediocre pay, especially if you start out, unless you make it to C level or Controller
-You will always be "that guy in accounting"

>is this accurate for actuarial science? I can't decide between that and chemical engineering. Top job rankings seem to always rate actuaries really high, and job prospects/salaries for actuaries (at least in Canada) seem to be better than chemical engineers.
I can't speak for Canada, but I think actuarial work is so fucking good that I'm planning to do it even as a maths student. As far as I'm aware Chem Eng is oversaturated although I'd be wary of that claim without any proof - people always claim shit is oversaturated.

If you're interested, pic related is what I've wrote down as the pros/cons of actuarial work in the UK.

>Why the fuck doesn't anyone want to become a highschool teacher? No one ever considered it.
1) Minimal chance of promotion, and hence bad pay. Why do you think teachers strike all the time?

2) You have to spend even more years at college/uni getting qualified to teach, which is time you could’ve spent working and therefore potentially getting promoted.

3) Teachers get blamed when the kids do anything bad.

4) Even if teaching is your passion, I’ve heard that a lot of a teacher’s job turns out to be paperwork/admin.

5) The only time you have off is the peak holidays, it’d be a nightmare to even schedule a doctor’s appointment.

it depends what you want to do in finance
if you don't need to know the arcane specifications of tax codes and other boring nonsense shit taught in finance, then an engineer or research field is more useful (for backroom stuff). Front room is all just networking, then the middle end stuff can go to anyone who can understand the back room people and also understands technical finance stuff

>>1036585

Depends on the institution. Research universities with a larger grad than undergrad body don't inflate their grades and the expected GPA is lowered as long as the recruiter is even semi-aware of the schools rep.

My mom's boyfriend is the head of HR for one of Chicago's big firms. This is his opinion on the matter, not mine. We were discussing the topic over the holidays and its still fresh on my mind. I can pass questions along to him pretty easy if you want straight no nonsense answers.

no one is going to pay you that much if you've been in school for eight years and have zero experience, those with higher education also have to be compensated more because of the cost of their education

>>1037251
Don't through your life away. You can set up and manage a business with no entrepreneur degree or diploma. No business owners had to, what business owners did is that they did a degree which interested them and is actually useful (and safe) in getting a job. For example, engineering and then setting up your own engineering firm, accounting and making your way up the corporate ladder to make connections and convince people to become a partner.

Your degree is worth less and teaches you less than most other degrees, don't do it. Get a business degree instead if u are set on doing that.

I find Economics really interesting at least, because if i didn't i would have commited sodoku by now. Without Econ I really would be fucked. Honestly can't think of another major i'd even be able to even do that would have at least solid future job prospects.

IT isn't that bad if you live near or in major cities, to be honest.

That guy who said that it has a salary cap of 50k is completely wrong (unless you're a helpdesk monkey).

>>1046353
Don't think like that for Accounting. Think Public or Private accounting. The answer is to go for Public Accounting and concentrate in an area you want to specialize in. The key is to specialize in a certain field of accounting, making you an expert. Once you're in the workforce, try and steer yourself towards jobs that will make you a specialist in an area, making you invaluable and worth a shit ton to keep.

Most Public Accounting firms will not care what you specialize in at school. They'll just use it as a talking point in your interview to understand what you want to do and where they should put you.

Choose audit if you like traveling. This side of accounting attracts more alphas since it is more client based.

Choose tax if you really like researching tax code and sitting at your desk, although sometimes you will travel. Since most people use software to do taxes, you research the more complex areas of tax.

Consulting is a lot more broad and requires a little more experience than tax or audit. For the most part, clients pay your firm to use you as a temp staff for their special projects. IT Audit and Compliance also falls into this category. IT Audit is "systems". In IT audit, you just use your knowledge of IT and controls to make sure no one can hack in or maliciously alter data. It pays slightly more than regular audit, mainly because people who know IT go into industry since IT audit is something know one knows about.

Seriously can someone answer my question please?

What can I do with a math degree? Why is it so high on the chart?

It's always on top and I have absolutely no idea how I'm supposed to make any money at all doing this. Please explain, anyone.

>>1046740

High school math teacher.

If masters, community college instructor.

If PhD, university professor.

If you have groundbreaking theories, are a genius, etc. Military/government (NSA code shit,etc).

>>1046627
It depends on where you're at and what you are good at. I'd still try to get into Public because once you are out of College, you hurt your chances of getting into it. Also, try to avoid government at all cost. The running joke in Public is that 10 years in government = 1 year in the real world.

Here is a salary guide if you want to plan (Amerifat guide): https://www.roberthalf.com/sites/default/files/Media_Root/images/at-pdfs/robert_half_2016_salary_guide.pdf

If I had to rate the concentrations, I'd say the following:

Financial: a solid, generic choice. Don't expect to stand out too much

Audit: Less numbers, more critical thinking. Great for learning how to audit. Between audit and tax, audit will pay more, but is more demanding. First few years you're counting money/inventory which is boring, but it picks up once you're manager.

Tax: I personally don't like tax, but that's just me. All older people in Tax i've seen have been well off. Depending on the area you could do fairly well.

Managerial/Cost: Lol, no. This is the easy choice (at least where i'm at) made for those people who will be in private accounting for the rest of your life.

Systems: Unless you are doing IT Audit or have a school that teaches ERP systems, not very helpful. You mainly take IT classes with the IT management students. It's harder to get into this field for internal because it's a lot smaller. Most small businesses don't have a complex IT system to require an IT internal Auditor and most the time they hire Public Accounting firms to do that part of it. That being said, it pays more and a good way to get into Public and differentiate yourself from the crowd.

>>1046747
>High school math teacher
Right.
Why is this "God tier" then?

Because it's always, without fail, listed at "god tier" in these charts and nobody ever seems to be able to explain why.

>>1046757

Because it isn't god tier and autists make these charts. If you chose your major based on a chart like this, you're an idiot.

>>1046815
I chose it because I loved doing math and I wanted to become a professor one day. I loved teaching and thought I would love to research.

I've since then, a few years later now and about to graduate, taken up other interests, including actuarial science, and no longer have any desire to go to graduate school for math and such.

And so I want to know what my prospects are for getting a job, any job, that will pay the bills while I keep on studying actuarial science. An analyst or consultant are also both highly appealing to me, but I need more work and more than likely more education before I have any shot at breaking into those careers.

Then just get a job as an actuary and do the exams while you work, failing that, do 2 or 3 exams asap and then get work as an actuary.

Also, mathematics is rarely listed as God tier, it's usually good/great tier.

Teenager detected.

What are VLSI, embedded systems, FPGAs, DSP, Comp Architecture, Communications Systems, Automation, Robotics, Signal Processing, Control Theory, and the multitude of other fields that are a natural progression of CompE.

DESU you can make a CS degree very CompE oriented or vice versa. But the core difference is that CompE gets more rigorous math, physics, and electrical groundwork.

having lots of money from your parents is the only way to avoid being a wage cuck at a young age. After like 5 years of working, then you could cover your living expenses then not HAVE to be a wage cuck although must become vacuous consumerists who turn themselves into wagecucks by wasting their lives working 80% of the time and enjoying 20% at best. The only way to avoid wage cuckery is to become stoic and be happy with the loaf of bread and library and free time that you can enjoy for the entirety of your life.

Psychology is deceptive. If you stop at the undergrad level you're looking at a lifetime working retail or fast food. Being a professional baby sitter for special needs kids and criminals at best. If you go on the PhD level (which is doable if you're patient and intelligent) and there is a good amount of money in the research field right now. I'm in a PhD program in clinical psychology right now studying mechanisms of reinforcement in ADHD, and in nicotine addiction. The handful of people in my lab who have finished internship all had starting salaries of 70-80+ thousand per year (though granted this required an extra 5-7 years of making a shit stipend, which is what I'm on now). A friend of mine from undergrad did his BA in psychology and now manages retail. Another friend got his BS in psychology and now makes 50k as a research technician at a place that studies addiction. It's such a mixed bag of a major because it's an intersection of STEM and the soft sciences.

>>1055055
>because it's an intersection of STEM and the soft sciences.

You were doing so well up to here.

There's no STEM in psychology. Don't kid yourself.

>>1055132

Biopsychology programs have their place within psych. departments, neuroscience graduate students are often psych undergrads, and research in psychology follows all of the requirements of what constitutes good science, up to and including objectively falsifiable hypotheses. That said, there's plenty of pseudoscience in the field as well. Like I said, an intersection.

>>1055136

What's the replicability rate of neuroscience? Something like less than 50%? Stop trying to put yourself on a pedestal by telling yourself you're STEM. All the ones doing actual science in neuroscience come from pure physics, chemistry or biology backgrounds anyway, not fucking feelchology.

>>1055132

Take a look at this retard. There are quite a few neuroscience and neuropharm programs housed within university psychology departments. Psychology is very much at the conflux of soft sociology type work and legitimate STEM research.

Psychology is the study of the mind which means that it inherently encompasses a wide range of topics ranging from cognition and emotional processing to ways in which cardiovascular health intersects with neurodegenerative disorders. It's a huge field that has many potential sub-disciplines some of which are hard and some of which are soft. Just because you've chosen to arbitrarily delineate it as just the fields you dislike doesn't mean that is how everyone views it nor does it mean that your view is an accurate reflection of reality.

> mathematics is god tier

> Transportation is shit tier

This list is so silly it makes Bugs Bunny cringe. I worked in a college and know mathematics doctorate graduates, transportation degree holders, and "Computer Science" grads alike.

CS is bullshit. 90% of people take it thinking they'll get all the cash but, frankly, everyone has that degree so it's worthless. Go to a trade school, get your certifications, and make a portfolio on your own: DO NOT DO COLLEGE. Otherwise get your CS degree and work at Mcdonalds or scramble for scraps as a startup company because that's where almost all CS grads end up.

My best friend is a doctor of mathematics with a NASA pedigree. His dad and grandfather are still NASA and he interned there. Guess what? He's teaching because everywhere else was full and turning folks away because dads and grand dads are still in the positions. Math doesn't get you as much as people think as you're pretty much waiting for people to die so you can get in. Good luck with that.

And then there's my pal Elliot who everyone laughed at for being a bus driver. He got his degree and keeps his certifications up to date with bi-yearly retraining. Elliot makes 40k a year off four hours of work five days a week. He invested his spare cash and runs a local comic shop in his spare time; something done out of love because he's a huge nerd. He owns three houses and rents two of them. He has a trophy wife. Now who's laughing?

There's likely more that is wrong about this "improved chart", but I don't really care to go on.

>>1055384
Marines are a special branch of the Navy. Social work is relevant especially with the exploding poor classes and weakening middle class. I almost joined the military and talked with the recruiter: Air force is hardest to get into and the highest "ranked" to employers.

Law depends on what law you get into. Judges, for example, are still in need. Mix law with social work and you'll easily find a job.

Also fixed the double wording and updated the "slim pickings" list a little. Slim pickings means that the jobs are there, they just are harder to get into, low turnover, high competition, in larger cities only, or otherwise more limited which will make finding work tougher. Who cares how much it pays if you can't get hired.

You will make bank if you go into IP law also.

Where would Information Systems fall on that chart?

Experience, real work skills, contacts within your field are what matters. Nobody gives a shit about your degree unless your some rich elite from Harvard, MIT, etc.

>>1032995
They're all shit tier. Internships is good tier. Experience is great. Connections is god tier.

>>1046740
Can you code?

Tons of shit to do with a math degree, you can work for financial institutions, if you are good at cryptography you can do security for large companies, you can model certain viruses or cells for pharmaceutical companies, you can work for the government or military.

>>1045981
Thank you.

How much longer is this meme gonna be around

Honestly, you'll be getting you're dick sucked for the next decade if you go into aerospace

>>1057175
*your

Goddamn it

>>1033004
but without knowing about chemical bonding (among many other things) from my chemistry degree the things I do at work wouldn't make any sense and I wouldn't be able to do my job.

>>1055451
How come anytbing with computers is in the oversaturated by engineers are better

Where does computer engineering fall in?

>>1053522
Yes if u go to a great school for it
If not, couple it with another useful degree such as engineering, law etx

Even if u don't want to work in engineering or as a lawyer do it if u can because employees will pick u over a single degree guy. E.g investment banks hirw engineer/commerce guys because they don't doubt the engineers quantitative and math skills

>How come anytbing with computers is in the oversaturated by engineers are better
What?

Human resources.

I'm doing business studies in September but be never done business before, it's scary

>>1055217
>putting CS in same league as Women's Studies.
This list is pretty laughable desu, more so than any other list in this thread

>>1060793
What do people even do with Women's Studies anyway?

>>1033181
I'm transferring from LSU to UMASS Amherst because it's a target for GS. Wish me luck

Why do people even entertain taking theater classes much less getting degrees in it?

>gotta follow muh unemployable dreams!

>>1032995

If you want to be an ATC why are you not going for the universal ATC degree of Aerospace engineering?

>>1055231
>not doing STEM because you sincerely enjoy it

This is where you fucked up

>>1062386

If everyone did what they enjoy the number of STEM majors would be like .01% of the graduating population.

>>1047580
except that it doesnt. Most are just intro's on most of those and they end up reformatting a pc and installing XP.

You'll see kid, comp eng is next to worthless

>>1055571
would also like to know

>>1037643
Lol who the fuck wrote this when "Good tier" sounds better than "Great tier"

Not even vaguely. Of the nine bachelors degrees most likely to propel you to six figures during your career the top ones are not on top of that list, and a few of them are listed at the bottom or middle.

>>1062478
>the bottom or middle.

You're referring to Political Science, business management and law, right?

>>1063147
>
political science is highly sought after for jobs where dealing with people is vital. I do it as part of my joint degree, and it's pretty easy, very enjoyable and teaches much more than you'd imagine. Saying that though, if you don't enjoy it as much as I do (it's already your passion) then i'd advise against it.

I know lots of international relations graduates (poli science in UK) and they've got good mainly managerial jobs.

People have a love/hate relationship with econ and poli science and studying them, I see why. The people on the course are some of the most intelligent people i've met, compared to the others but strangely it's not too hard to get a good mark (if you're passionate).

It truly is one of them degrees where if they enjoy it, you'll truly love the academic work and the work afterwards but if you don't then it's probably not worthwhile.

So whilst it has similar prospects to Law (not UK, that's bad-ish) it's no where near women's studies although most people (pol/biz) think it's similar in nature and therefore must be similar in content or character to women's studies but it couldn't be further from the truth

>>1032995
Your major doesn't define you. It should come naturally.

1. Take some things you love
2. Converge to find a middle point and to choose a major
3. Throughout your studies, be devoted (learn everyday, practice in your field as much as possible). Devotion is the key to the success

and that's it.

When I was 18, I played in a band, I loved movies and videogames. My middle point was audio engineering - now I'm working as a sound designer, absolutely loving every day of my job.

My friends who were using pictures like this one or thinking too much about their majors ended up without money and/or working in a totally different field than their major and/or miserable.

Make life your bitch and you're golden.

>>1037642
Same, that's why I laugh when I see finance above Econ.

>>1063685
So where does that place Econ relevant to stuff like maths or stats?

>>1063655
>tfw this advice leads me to a meme field
I like math, I like computers, I want to be a desk jockey. muh options are: accounting, data science, actuary.
Can anyone else who is pursuing the dosh, just leave us autist alone in our field.

>>1032995
entrepreneur
one above all

>>1065367
Applied math>Stats>Econ>Pure math

>>1045563
accounting is better than those right senpai

>>1035030
And lots of people in the job market for this positions, that's the trade off. The harder the major, the less people there are to hire, which is why they are paid more.

>>1037643
>Law in worthless tier
why even bother putting a chart up
