What are you going to college for /biz/? What do you plan to

The old adage, "It's not what you know but who you know" is absolutely true. Companies tend to hire the people they know first, the people those first group know second, and if you're lucky, they might give third group of recent grads an interview (but only after 5 years of experience which those grads got magically somehow).

Accounting, about to graduate. I want to do audit. Have audit this semester and fell in love with it. Like being a detective, only for white collar crime. You also get to travel? At least to the corp you're auditing. Better than same office every day?

Kind of fucked because I didn't apply last fall. Well shit I didn't even know I liked audit last fall. Pretty ridiculous. I'll settle for whatever in the meantime, temp job, $15 an hour or whatever, I give no fucks.

>Criminal Justice
>Law
Pick one. Also, Law schools are moving away from accepting Pre-Law or CJ majors in favor of people who have had more broad and intensive courses of study, like those who have studied History. This trend is being repeated by business schools. History is quickly becoming one of the most competitive undergrad majors for a variety of seemingly unrelated graduate programs.

Also, it says at the bottom that "jobs are rated by employment", when these are not jobs, they are majors. Most jobs that require college degrees at all will accept a vast assortment of them for the same job, with some being more competitive than others in the employment process. Some jobs just require a college degree, and the employers don't even care what the degree says on it.

do you honestly believe a non-college graduate with no family wealth can raise the capital to start a business these days?

You need a degree for ANY mediocre job.
And you need a mediocre job in order to get capital. because no one is going to loan some poorfag without a college degree any money at a non-payday loan interest level.(exception to this is student loans, but you can't transfer those funds cost effectively into a business)

>>1165765

You're correct. One caveat is, if you have extraordinary skills in computer science you gained from college, you can have a viable business needing less capital than ever to start nowadays.

But it still goes back to the main point, you need that college degree. Not just the degree, but all the learning about CS theory etc.

nah, I aint got no vehicular transportation, or connections in better cities to pull that off. [when you're stuck in a shitty part of Ohio, you're really fucking stuck]

though, I'm fixing that first thing by working two [2] part time jobs. helping truck drivers deliver cases of beer at one and working from home doing google searches / marking google maps for a mental health agency for the other isn't exactly hard (or helping me gain experience) but it is slowly pushing me towards that car so at least I'm getting somewhere and not a NEET.

I would really like to do research but the private sector has really cool jobs economists can do. Especially with econometrics or statistics.

Bio degree, now an hplc monkey for pharma. Meh, I'll see how it goes

Is there any point to getting a BA degree that isn't STEM or fiance related?

Supposedly those who possess BA degrees earn more than those that do not have degrees, but it seems like more trouble than it's worth to major in something like Criminology just to say that one has a BA.

hopefully I won't get cucked too much, my mother basically manages nurses in my county and got me a summer placement at a fairly high security mental-health joint, hopefully with that I can do an extra year at uni to get a masters in occupational psychology, then go into industrial/HR. Alternatively I could try for clinical since it's closer to the experience that I'd have but I hear that's way more competitive and i'm not sure I've got it in me basically. Could also apply for post-grad med school but 5 extra years at uni without as much govt loans would be tough to say the least.
Of course, the dream would be to get a pretty lucrative job without having to pay for another year at uni, but I know what they say about Bachelors in Psychology

going back for my masters in accounting at a private school in the greater philly metro area. my goal is to work in public accounting at a national or big 4 firm. long term, im not sure. if i like public then ill probably stay and try to make partner at a regional firm, or start my own firm. if i hate it, ill go to industry.

Studied biology for fun. Changed my mind too late and just stuck with it. It was a waste of time for the most part but the certificates I got during it weren't.

After a year of shitty labor and food jobs I got a nice office job which pays pretty well. I just work with data and maps all day.

As soon as I get some experience under my belt I'm probably getting out of this commuter town though, hopefully for some government position out in the woods.

Going back to school to study medical laboratory technology and work samples in a hospital, then get my M.Sc and work my way up to manager positions.

Once I start in the hospital I'll pay down my debts and start investing. Hopefully I'll make it one day.

Yeh im a male nurse let me shed some light. So its not a porno , hotter women arent attracted to nursing - so yeh youre around lots of chicka but who cares? I could go to meetup dot com to gind activities with women around

He's right that its the easiest way into the middle class but wrong about how easy it is to get a hogher degree and make more , you maybe (national average) increase your income 25% to 50% going from an adsociates degree to a masters but you could have spent the same effort to get a masters in comp sci and be at double pay

A lot of my job is them paying me to just be frustrated.

>>1173363
Oh and on the women note - yeh you can for sure pull tail , even if they get it right and knoe youre a nurse you just presented nurturing value without having to open your mouth , I married another nurse and shes awesome but for the most part - aside from my observation that they arent hotter than average women , they ARE crazier - think about the motivations to do this for a career from a womens perspective and then the reality of the stress? It breaks em - makes em clingy and neurotic , also above average single moms (since its a good paycheck to raise the kid)

Why tho, history is easy as fuck? Names and dates and motivations that's it.

>>1174821
History is how you understand human nature and it teach you how to be a great leader.

Names and dates aren't important. Less than 1% of ancient works survived to modern time. You better believe those that survived have something you could learn from. Modern education is specialized to produce wagecucks, so importance of history education have been de-emphasized.

>>1174962
It doesn't teach you how to be a great leader. It teaches you patterns in social groups. History is like getting a story from your Dad, with him hoping you don't fuck up as badly on the same mistake he did. You're going to hit the same snag every time. It just won't be as bad because he told you about it. At best History can teach you how to be a leader for a certain point in history.

Answering for him: 50k RN with 60k 2 years exp, Nurse Practitioner 100k (its a masters and capable of working as a doctor in 90% of cases and independently). Its probably the last remaining legitimate bachelors except for possibly EE or CS but those are dodgy.

Thanks unemployed guy.
I should look into nurse practitioner.
I've been looking into O&P practitioner but I've been finding it may be a farce, and fuck med school.

Could I get in with a BS in Kinesiology?

Jk I'll look it up, but seriously who here knows what else I can do with this degree?

I had a paid internship at a start up in SF helping make AK sockets for amputees. Made a lot of friends in prosthetics, but the practitioner field has gone to shit for too many reasons and opening a clinic is nigh impossible

>>1175427
For anyone interested, yes, you can become a nurse practitioner without a nursing bs through an entry level masters program.

What do you guys think of getting a BS in nutrition, then getting a PhD in Kinesiology and Nutrition and then med school if i want? I understand STEM is where its at but kinesiology and nutrition (and psychology), within the sciences, is what im interested in

>>1176503
If you don't have the interest in STEM, don't go for it. I think you still have to do some math to go down medicine and you need to do statistics in psychology.

I'm preparing to start college and have enrolled in a chemistry major. I've loved science since I was young, and I've aced all my chemistry and biology classes in high school.

Accounting
Nursing
Whatever it is to become a doctor
Law
Finance
HR
Psychology

>>1177274
Besides petroleum I can also do mining or geothermal engineering, but I lack knowledge about the different engineering fields and have no idea if that's any good if compared compared to other engineering disciplines
Also I'm worried about the math

Wouldn't Psychiatry make more sense than Psychology since it's a medical thing and all that?

>>1177281
Well, where I am from you need to do 8 years of uni + supervised training to become a psychiatrist.

Much more secure job and pay in psychiatry (only do the 8 years if u are really interested in it or u will burn out and want to kill urself).

So, if u want to be a psychiatrist you should go for it. Free uni as well lol.

Well here are some of the big engineering disciplines

Stop buying into memes. It doesnt' matter if you major in fucking philosophy. At my final interview for an investment bank there was someone there who majored in goddamned nutrition.

What's your thoughts on aquaculture?

Do you think it's going to really pick up in the next decade or 2? I think it's inevitable.

The benefits in my eyes are numerous in particular the relatively low cost on start up compared to the beef industry, the fact that white meat is a lot healthier for humans (better fats, minerals etc.) I think if done right it will be infinitely more humane to consume them compared to land mammals.

Engineers have the highest average salary
Psychology in nations with high taxes is good (i'm assuming that because he said he is from a country that pays for tertiary education) because retards can always just go see them and charge it to the government so you have supplies

CompE over here.

Planning to round up my courseload and experience with stochastic processes, communications & control theory, signal processing, and numerical simulations to shoot for a finance/quant/trading job.

Is this feasible? The only downside is that nobody seems to care that Illinois is supposedly the #5 program in the nation - as in it's basically unknown, especially in the East where most of the jobs are located.

Have I been memed by the rankings?

>>1180177
You aimed for a quant/finance job by majoring in CompE? Nigga, you realize there are only tangential connections between the two?

Its feasible, but you would've needed to diverge heavily from the typical CompE curriculum. More math, more CS mod/sim courses, and most of them wouldn't overlap with your major-required courses. UIUC definitely is upper-tier, your school name isn't a problem.

>>1180177
I've been told you need more than just a bachelors to become a quant (as in you would need a math and an engineering, or a CS and a math or idk some other combo like that).

They're not required, but I have 2 years of electives. I chose those areas since they're the most math heavy areas that still satisfy electives and I heard of many parallels to applications in finance.

CompE here used to be different, but recently they changed it so it can be a bastardized CS degree if one wants it to be.

Right now I'm in a double major in applied mathematics and statistics, with a concentration in finance, specifically actuarial science.

Basically the /sci/-/biz/ dream, hopefully going to get a masters in actuarial/statistics afterwards.

>>1181678
I wish I could do this as well, but the math/finance/actuarial science program at my place isn't very well known or respected as my current major.

Out of curiosity, what program do you attend?

So I work at a larger DOD contractor as a Software Engineer ( majored in CS). There are many Areospace and Mechanical engineers here and they can't find other jobs. They're not really doing what they want, some have been looking for alternatives for years.

The problem is unless you're in the top of those fields there are too many of those majors for the "good" work. Yet there are not enough for all the "bad" work. Good and bad is what I consider high paying real engineering vs desk and paper shuffling work. I would have absolutely no problem finding another job.

>>1181794
I should also say I believe the high end in compute science / software engineering is roughly equivalent to high end aerospace and mechanical engineering.

CS just has a better mid band for people who are realistic and not corporate martyrs working 80 hours a week.

On the other hand I don't have a solid grasp on this field but I feel Electrical Engineers have the best pick. There are plenty of high end jobs that have you doing real engineering and you don't need to be in the top 10% of your class at a ivy school to get them

>>1181781

I'm in Canada, University of Calgary. It's not Waterloo or McGill, but our industry connection is pretty comparable. Undergraduate education is by and large not really that important (If you couldn't prepare for the actuarial exams by yourself, I don't see how a university would), but connections and internships/research does. I do plan on going to America for my graduate studies however.

If your program isn't well known/respected, try to do as well as you can and transfer with scholarships.

I'm doing a masters in information systems and working in an unrelated field. Not sure if I fucked up.

Nah you're doing good. I rushed into a meh tier degree at 18 and now I'm regretting it.

My parents also paid for the school. It may be okay on my part but now I have to walk with the guilt.
