We just talked about this with my cousin who works at uni. Theorerical physics is where it is all at.

It will not get boring.

Op here, Tier list is not mine and doesn't reflect my opinion. Just used for some minor relevance

Never forget that nowadays getting a good job is all about charisma and networking. Autistic econ major who doesnt know how to sell himself will literally lose against an alpha pol sci major when it comes to job interviews. Unis and Colleges dont really prepare you for work anyways and big companies know that.
In the end we all need to start in some shitty trainee program

Information systems is shit tier

>we all need to start in some shitty trainee program

Yep, even the best of the best at investment banks need to go through internships which trains them and then go through a grad program where they get trained

Yeah. So why pick a """"god tier""""" major you find boring and suck at instead of getting good at something you like when the end is the same?

>>1511060
Is that the same as IT? because most IT jobs pay 50k plus

>Medicine, Law, C Science all below Math
>Stats in Mid Tier
>Political science below history

Nah.

Considering going into law, but what BS should I get? I've heard prelaw students don't preform well because their BS doesn't prepare them for the amount of research involved in actual law school. I'm considering history or philosophy. History because I know it involves a lot of research, and will better prepare me for law school, but philosophy because it interests me more. I know I can get a higher GPA should I choose philosophy, but should I value the GPA more, or the degree itself? Honestly, I just want a degree and job that involve as little mathematics as possible, because not only do I hate math, I'm bad at it, and I don't care how lucrative a field is, if you're bad at your job, AND you hate it, you will not have that job for very long.

Move economics to high tier you faggot!

Surely it is above finance as finance is simply financial microeconomics with a lot less math.

Either is a safe bet, though law schools prefer philosophy majors over history or just about any other major, barring economics and physics. Yes, that's including pre-law. Admissions committees do this because they get a massive amount of pre-law applicants each year, but an applicant who takes something they're interested in and does very well (this is crucial. If you go philosophy/history you MUST get a 3.9+) shows that they are a good all around candidate. Philosophy is all about learning to think for yourself, think on your feet, and construct or deconstruct arguments, all critical skills for a would-be lawyer. Math related majors are sought after because it shows work ethic, discipline, and strong analytic skills more or less useful depending on the type of law you intend on practicing.

The downside is that you will have a difficult time doing well on the LSAT without a literal fuckload of studying. You have to be very bright to do well on that exam without being pre-law but many people do it each year.

My advice is just to make sure that law is your passion and don't go in to it for money, power, or prestige. I was dead set on law school until I realized I was doing it for the wrong reasons and went for finance instead. Don't be wooed by partner salaries or anything like that, you will be shit on for years before you make halfway decent money, and only then will you be able to begin paying off your mound of law school debt. I'm not trying to talk you out of it as it is a respectable profession, I'm just sharing my reasoning for why I decided not to go into law.

Anything you can do outside of college, don't major in. This means, English, lit, any foreign language, gender, etc. They will give you very little leverage in the workplace and you don't need to be taught.

Something like Math or Physics is almost always a good choice. There are always new problems to solve in those fields, although they tend to be much more rigorous, and you need higher degrees to be a big name.

Something like comp Sci is perfect for the middle man. You don't have to be the best to get a job. You don't need higher education, but can get higher education to leverage a raise. There will always be problems to solve. The only issue is that the tech bubble could pop at any time.

Would majoring in economics and political science be a good mix for getting into lobbying or economic advising for governments or companies? I want to drop my shit tier business major.

Hard to tell. I did exactly that and got an Internship at the GR department of a big company. Was sweet as fuck, also living in my countries Capital during that six months.
The Job was mostly about socializing though. I was the intern of the poster boy if you want. Shaking hands, smiling bright, joking around.

You need to be really good with people if you want to have real contact. The real strategies and paperwork was done in the back office. Thats where you mostly need experience. A lot of lawyers and accountants worked there.

So it depends on what youre looking for. But having connections definitely helped me to get in, dont know if I had gotten it without knowing people

Yeah, no, I want to do it purely because it interests me. The money is just a nice bonus. I'm the opposite of you; I wanted to go into CS before I myself realized the same thing, and subsequently realized I really hate math, so I started looking for degrees purely based on how much I would enjoy the line of work that degree would provide me with. So when I was looking up what jobs you can even get with a philosophy degree (which I previously assumed were essentially none), law slapped me in the face, and I immediately knew I wanted to do it. Only just now did I look up how much money the average US lawyer makes, and goddamn, if I can get into a good firm, and make even close to that within 5-8 years, that'd be nuts.
