STEM, Business, Medicine and Law

Depends on who you are, what you enjoy and what you're good at. If you're not smart enough all degrees are a waste of effort even if you pick a good one.

Look, if you're really into that then go for it, but business degrees will hardly get you a job and law is just painful.

In my opinion, law has the best effort/reward ratio of all studies. the level of prestige you gain as a law graduate is enormour whilst the studies are actual not that difficult

I do agree that attorneys have prestige, but unless you graduate from I top school I've heard that jobs are hard to come by and you could be stuck doing public defending or something.

Should I major in Business Administration, Computer and Information Systems, or become an Electrician?
>>
>>1634506

Personally I'd forget business unless it's a top school or you're doing accounting.

I'd aim for tech because it has a higher income cap and prestige than electrician but if that fails keep electrician as a backup option.

Persistence is really the deciding factor in getting a degree, intelligence not so much
>>
>>1634504
Depends

Law =/= legal practice

You could also work in government positions or internally at businesses in an advisory position. All depending on the field of law. I'm soon graduating in competition/state aid/procurement law which gives loads of options
>>
>>1634410
Here is the real answer:

No matter what you major in, you MUST do well in it, and you MUST have experience in the industry by means of internships, etc, and also connections help a lot. You can study what you love, but you need to be committed and at the top of your field to be able to find a job.

If you just go to class and then leave, or don't join any kind of club or extracurricular activity, and you don't try to get to know your teachers, then you will have a much harder time finding a job.

It really depends on the person. A police officer or former military may find a wildlife degree or something useful to become a ranger. A finance degree would be useless to a person without the social and leadership skills to succeed in that career. You can't just look at the pay and demand.

WTF is "Mech. Engy"?

I originally assumed it to mean mechanical engineering... except that "Mech. engineer" is listed separately. I suppose "Engy" could mean "energy", though I've not heard of Mechanical Energy degrees. But the fact that you've also included "Civil Engy" makes that more unlikely.

I'm currently in 1st semester of comp sci major

I realized that I came to uni with so many credits from APs that it would be easy to get double major or minor.

>Medicine
Not worth it anymore. General physicians, pediatricians, etc. are being replaced by nurse practitioners. Not worth the money hoping you're one of the few that actually get into a surgeon or radiologist program just to end up making $180K as a normal doctor and likely getting replaced by a $90K FNP.

>Statistics/Actuarial
Not everybody is good at math. I have no idea how one can be bad at math, but that's just reality.

>Computer Science
If you're autistic enough to actually get this degree, then you likely don't have the social skills to get a good job.

>Business
Again, completely useless if you don't have social and leadership skills. Sure you can learn them, but you still won't beat the thousands of natural leaders that are applying for the same jobs.

>Law, if you actually make it worthy
It's saturated. Only really worth it if you have connections and know you'll have a position after you graduate.

>Mechanical Engineering
>Industrial and Systems Engineering
Again, it takes a very specific person to make these type of degrees worthwhile. Just because Glassdoor says it pays this and Indeed says it has this many jobs doesn't mean shit when picking a degree.

>Pharmacology
Requires somebody highly skilled in math and science. It also requires social skills and a business minded person. It's not just a get good grades easy job anywhere like accounting or nursing.

>IT
Probably the safest best for most autists on here.

You want to know the majors that are useful for business? Simple.

Finance
Accounting
Mathematics
Economics

These are the four majors you have to choose from if you want to work in something like Asset Management, Investment Banking, Commercial Banking, Corporate Finance, or Sales and Trading.

If you want to be a successful in business/finance then make sure you get a FAME degree.

Business Administration, Marketing, International Business, etc are all shit-tier meme degrees. Fuck that garbage.

Overall, I cannot disagree with this post, are you a HR Manager, because its pretty on point.

>Medicine
Well, people are going to do it regardless of what everyone says. Everyone says its too expensive for the life you get and takes too long but some people need to get that power trip of being the man everyone needs to kiss his/her ass, no nurse/PA is going to give me an attitude etc. It should be noted that both Physician Assistant and NP are becoming the New Med School and standards are skyrocketing. 3.6GPA w/ a mess of extra curics is going to be a minimum soon.

>What's MF like? What's your work like?
Went to London Imperial, the Masters wasn't particularly difficult math wise as long as you put in the hours. Kind of like undergrad, just that the ridiculous debt was constantly in the back of my mind.
I come from a eastern european country, so if I couldn't get a job after the masters, the debt I took on to get the degree would probably eat me alive. Little did I know that the uni did everything in their power to get me all the possible opportunities to get a job. And a good job I got. Not a top firm, but still pretty damn good.
I'm a bit paranoid so I'll refrain from naming too many specifics.

Job itself, is quite fun. Never a quiet moment, always on your toes, keep solving problems, and I'm really humbled by all the intelligent people around me. You always have to be ahead of the competition. You have to live and breathe the job. If you don't, you risk falling behind and that's I believe where some people don't understand.

I love my job. If you don't love this, no matter how much you love money, you won't last long.

Nigga, you make around 20k a year. 20 mutha fucking K per year. You can't even afford anything outside the bare minimum for survival. You think your "comfortable" shit life is going to last forever? You are ensuring that by retirement age you will still be an indentured servant because you never ever saved for retirement. You're sealing the deal on the next injury/illness or loss of job will put your sorry ass on the street.

I think STEM fascinates me more, but finance can be more rewarding. I think I might have to go for STEM, and hope that one of my many ideas can be brought to life with my newfound knowledge. And I think the way to finance from STEM is easier than the other way around, were I to be wrong.

I'm in physics but I'm considering switching to applied math (specifically, statistics) and throw a bunch of software engineering & finance classes in there as well because I'll have quite a few open course slots due to overlap between applied math courses and physics courses.

If you don't want to work in science or physics etc. then applied math would probably be better for you but they're both solid choices.

well desu I would love to work in science/physics but I've gotten the impression that the opportunities for getting into proper research are pretty slim.

It's just that applied math + SW eng + finance seems like a very comfy, safe and solid combo but I would kinda feel like I "gave up" though if I don't continue on with physics (applied physics down the road) because that's what I'm truly passionate about if you understand what I mean

Hey all.

I'm graduating in May 2017 with a CS degree and I just accepted (yesterday) a full-time Entry-Level Software Developer job that starts in June. Is pic related accurate? I don't have to decide on financial stuff, health insurance, etc. until my first week there, but I really want to understand the basics before I get to that point. Right now I'm just focused on getting out of college, C's get degrees, that kind of thing.
>>
>>1637412
if you're passionate about physics then do it - I don't really know about the job market in that sector but it's a science so you'll probably have a lot of opportunities especially if it's something you're genuinely interested.
>>
>>1637425
lmao 20% is fucking nothing, try doing 50%. If you don't have enough stuff to get by for the first couple months, fill those basic needs and then save/pay off loans with a minimum of 50% of your take-home pay. You're a software dev so I assume you're making 60k+, you will be able to live comfortably doing this.
>>
>>1637452
I'll be making about 55k but I live in the south so cost of living is pretty low.

I'm graduating a semester before my girlfriend who is going into nursing. We both have student loans that we want to pay off w/in 5 years at the most. So our priorities look pretty much like this at this point:

- basic living expenses (apartment, food)
- save for car (maybe buy lightly used from a rental agency - heard this can be a good deal)
- save for house in a while (in a couple of years)
- devote remaining chunk of income into paying down loans
- both get credit cards and pay them off every month to build credit for house, car, big purchases
>>
>>1637405
Eng. here, I've got the same plan. But if possible I also want to focus on the setups that are specialized to run the algos.
So developing/building software and hardware seems really fun to me.

Next year gonna do a finance minor, after that I'm gonna make my decision.
Probably gonna do a EE master after my bachelor.

Don't even bother doing any hospital or medicine related unless you have at minimum a decent interest in it. It really isn't one of those things that can fuel you by just money alone. Hospital work fucking sucks, all the patients either suck up bitches (muh vaccines), or consider you an idiot because you aren't a doctor.

Hospital spit and shit all over you as employees because there's always a lot of other candidates they can pick from if you complain. Hospitals can fire you basically for calling off a day they don't like. Working in medicine/hospitals is the literal definition of a wage cuck hidden behind "saving lives!" propaganda.

Pursue CS/IT, they were kings 10-20 years ago, they're still kings today in the job market as long as you better than the average American worker in that field.

Dude its too obvious you just want money so you picked that form of nursing for the 150k. Nursing is a bitch, you won't last 4 years to be able to apply for anesthetics PhD so you can do the job. Also don't think you won't see people die and occasionally very rarely even be the cause and people might shit on you because you are the nurse, the doctors will all conspire to bring the malpractice on to the new guy and so they send you to console the family.

You have to pay serious dues to get to that 150k and its even then kind of a rare job.

If you think you can handle it then I wish you the best of luck but it is way harder than it looks.

My vote is for Optometry though. Its easy, no deaths possible, decent 80k salary and can get a nice retail job.

CS is a fucking wage cuck job, get real mate. You have to go to a real place, code your ass off 14 hour days sometimes and live on Red Bull, never see family during crunch times.

Optometry is way easier than CS.
>>
>>1638314
Agreed, however, still, that's a lot of time, and money to get to that point. There's no guarantee it's going to succeed perfectly. Hospital work does suck as a low employee, it sucks even if you're into Nursing, it just depends if that anon I replied to feels like the abuse and stress is worth making the decent wage Nurses make. I honestly would rather just wage cuck it at Accounting/Finance because I'm a selfish prick that doesn't care about other people. That's kind of a hard attitude to have in healthcare though, doesn't help in the long run. I don't say that many things in life have to be passions to succeed, but Hospital workers in my opinion get the worst of the worst in many ways depending for who you work for.

Why does the thought of going to medical school never even come up in your posts? I don't understand why the average person aspires to be a nurse or a technician, don't you want to be in CHARGE of the department? Even if you don't have the grades for American medical school, you can go to european medical school. We train in english, the degree is accepted in the US, it is far cheaper, and you get to bang eurosluts for 6 years after high school. There is a tight-knit group of americans at my particular school here, and we all have the same question: why are we the only ones who seem to have discovered this?

Getting a residency in the US afterwards is very difficult. You won't be able to get the competitive ones and even the shitty ones like family medicine only have a ~70% match rate so 30% of students can't even practice medicine and essentially wasted 6 years and 300K

I hear this argument a lot, and from what I've seen, it's very much a fallacy.
1) if you pass the USMLE, you can practice medicine, independent of a residency board certification. End of story. The law is the law.
2) My tuition for 6 years is 1/3 of the cost you suggested, and my cost of living is about half of what it used to be when i lived in the states.

Getting a residency stateside is extremely difficult, you are correct. but many foreign students (india, iran, north america) end up training in other parts of the world, getting residencies in west europe as well. It isn't as bad as you make it sound.

Math with a minor in finance or economics.

Ideally, you would Major in one FAME degree with a minor in another.

How would you break into asset management,or investment banking, or whatever?

You have to realize that just having a degree isn't worth shit.

You need internships and networking to get anywhere.

Join you college's business club. Get involved, attend meetings, compete in business related competitions, attend networking events, build your resume.

Then apply for finance related internships at bulge bracket banks, boutique banks, and fortune 500 companies.

Architecture is not a wageslave degree like STEM, meaning that you'll not get a good paying job just because you finished it. It is an entrepreneurial degree and is pretty much business administration and project management for real-estate development and construction. If you do not have leadership and problem-solving skills, you will work as a cad-monkey for most of your life, however being a STEM monkey pays more, therefore it is justifiably glorified.

>practical architecture is not
shit you see on tv; like Zaha Hadid, Foster, the Jew Squad etc. you can expect that only if you finished at a top of your masterclass by Gehry or Koolhaas and he let you use his network. Example is Bjarke Ingels, who was a top student at Koolhaas, got a lot of upwind because of that, but still only manages to create childish pop-architecture.

Good architecture comes with a fucking lot of experience over time, do not expect to create anything worthwhile before you're 50. An architect has to understand at least 30 years of one generation to comprehend what to plan for the next. Going dick first with 30 something like Bjarke will only create pop-shit without actual timeless quality. This doesn't mean you shouldn't build, you have to get that experience somewhere, just keep in mind that one needs to know a LOT to be able to create quality.

>I never looked into Hungary, was it easy to get into?

Highly recommended. The biggest difference between American and European medical school admissions is that most of the European ones are very easy to get accepted to. I stressed out over my entrance exam for Hungary, and when I showed up it was an absolute joke.

The real entrance exam in Europe is the first 2-3 years of schooling. The graduating class size is generally reduced to half of what you started with by halfway through third year. I am in the first semester of my second year, and my 'group' that I take my classes with has already been reduced from 28 to 21 people, and it will continue to shrink. Make no mistake, they don't have failure quotas. They are very accepting in the beginning, and then very objective in their grading later. They do not curve test grades, so you have to stay on top of the material, not other people.

In the American system, tests are often curved and there is a near-zero drop out or failure rate, but that is because the entrance tests are so rigorous and unforgiving.

The incoming freshmen of American medical school are truly the academic cream of the crop, and the graduating class of the European medical school are the survivors. Do you have what it takes?

Not true, plenty of programming jobs around but the IT market is all but dried up. If your job doesn't involve coding then you're up shit creek, as employers traditionally view their IT department as a cost and will do everything they can to minimize that cost. Which often means layoffs, budget cuts and maintaining the bare minimum staff. It's not unusual to see a single person being responsible for the infrastructure of multiple office locations.

Trust me I live in a major tech hub and used to be in the field. I know how it is outside the shitty help desk positions, and it's not unusual to see experienced IT folks fighting with new grads and noobs over entry level positions because there are not enough jobs to go around.

dental insurance providers determine what you are allowed to charge for your work, which is very little. In order to make money you have to:
-settle for a meager salary even if you own your own practice
-hire a bunch of dental assistants to do the majority of the work for you while you simply oversee the operation
different dentists take different approaches.
if you have any integrity you won't take the second one because good dentists do the work themselves and ensure that the work is done to a perfect standard.
Unethical dentists see four patients or more an hour for fillings and only drill the hole, then the assistants actually make the filling and grind it down, which the dentist runs back in to check and then off to the next chair. these dentists make loads of money an hour but the quality of work is shit.
also you can forget about doing crowns that way, they will not come out right.
as we move closer to single payer system, the medical jobs will pay less and less. prepare for the shitstorm that will ensue after.

Shut up bro. I'm also a pre-med, but have a lot of family in medicine. Doctors can easily pull in upwards of 500k-1 million a year, and no, you don't have to be in derm or ortho to get that type of money. If you open a practice, the possibilities are endless. No other job gives you that type of money, besides maybe big law.

Don't forget that you can moonlight during residency, making 6 figures a year while also getting paid 60k a year from your residency program. Debt is a non-issue at that point.

Also, a common misconception about medicine is that you are giving up the best years of your life. That is completely untrue. You are spending your time studying rather than working as a wageslave in a mindless job. I'd rather be studying than working, especially considering how much I'll make after I'm done studying.

If you can get into medicine, you are essentially guaranteed a position in the upper class, although on the low end. Also, in my opinion, the status of being a doctor far outweighs the monetary benefits. I'd rather tell people I'm a doctor than a computer scientist who spends his entire life glued to a computer screen.

Honestly, it IS really secretive HOW to go to school in foreign countries in the US. Nobody ever talks about it, there are no companies that help you find the information and exactly how you would get the financial aid or go through the process is mainly unknown.

There are people who do medical school in The Caribbean to save tons of money but doing your med school in Europe is still pretty unheard of here.

I must admit I researched it once because I was interested in doing Archaeology and thought "no way in hell is this degree worth 80K" and was shocked at how cheap it was in say Spain.

I'm about to finish up a b.s. in information & network security, got on board after the cyber-security talent shortage being toted by govt and private sector. The classes have definitely filled up in the past couple years and I'm lucky I got in early. As far as computer related degrees go, this one is really nice in terms of a broad skillset. Everything from Python to tcp/ip protocol and general IT is necessary, and you can specialize in what you want depending on what you want to do (pentester? analyst/consultant? linux sys admin?). I do have some trepidation of not getting a job once I'm finished in May, but I'm 'eager to relocate' so my prospective market is not limited geographically which should help me out.

Does anyone else have information security/cybersecurity experience they want to contribute? Any questions on the subject?

Are there any degrees that don't sentence you to a 9-5 wageslave life? I don't know, for example geology or something, prospectors have to travel to places in the wild to look for minerals. Something like that.

I just wonder why nobody talks about it. I ask because I have classes with people from so many other countries, but very few from North America. How do people hear about the Caribbean? Is it advertised the same as American medical schools?

In Europe you can just go straight from high school, I was 19 when I entered my first year of medicine. I see what you mean about the process being unknown. Financial aid in this case is typical student loans from a bank. The admissions process will usually be very straightforward, being just a written and an oral exam one day, with acceptance or rejection given that day. Like I said before, they will accept most people, and then many will fail.

>At the very least I'd say we burgers are egocentric.

This

Americans regard non-Anglo universities and colleges as inferior. That's why many American employers disregard degree holders from other nations and American colleges don't even accept school credits from foreign universities.

>I have a bachelor's in Master's in accounting
>too autistic for public accounting, no exp so no one in industry would hire me
>currently in a financial analyst role for a government contractor
>I only make $19 hourly, but I live with my parent rent free and I make over the median per capita income of my county
>$40k in student loans, $15k in savings
Should I attempt to take the CPA, move out of the state with my sibling that has connections to better jobs, or go back to school for computer science?

TAKE THE CPA ANON.

This is advice from someone who has a father that regrets not taking the CPA every day of his life. You can fix autism but it won't mean shit without this credential.

TAKE THE CPA ANON

Yeah bro. It's complete bullshit. Keep in mind that some patients don't have insurance and pay straight cash. For example, my uncle makes 400k a year working 4 days a week as a doctor and he's in internal medicine, which is the easiest specialty to get into. You can make as much as you want, and if you own your own practice, you can make even more.

On his off days, he works on his businesses.

Set your own hours. You can see patients 4 days a week and work on your own business the other 3.

Plus, I have never heard of a single doctor that has been laid off of work. It's the most stable job out there. Once you have the degree, you have a job anywhere.

Why is aerospace top tier? Very hard to get a job.

Good to know. I thought I was going to stay within the rat race forever, even with a medical degree. I have heard that you get to set your own hours (like you said) so I'm really looking forward to it. Hopefully I can stick to it. Thanks man.

I know a dude who majored in political science and is making a ton of $$$ in finance. But he went to a solid school and has awesome social/networking skills. I knew another guy who majored in electrical engineering but was such a robot he couldn't hold a job for long.

Degree major is important but not everything.

This is very true. You could major in navel gazing and still end up with a 100k+ wall street or tech start-up job.

You are very wrong. Auditing will always be needed because they issue audit opinions. Opinion being a subjective thing means that human judgment is required in order to do the job. Every single thing in auditing requires human interaction. No computer will ever be able to do this.

Hey guys, I am going into collage soon, amd im really torn on what degree i should get. I honestly have no idea what the fuck I want to do. I think im torn between engineering, architect, or something with forensics, but i dont want to get stuck on one horse and have no ability to work wherever I want and I dont want to have a state job because you cant really go "up" from there. what should I do? what would be the safest bet for something that wont destroy my life with work, where I can just make money because i know shit that others dont, and i dont have to get stuck in one place?

Take the fucking test you fucking idiot. It's a pay bump that'll add hundreds of thousands of dollars to your lifetime income. Also, no one will take you seriously as an accountant without one.

>Tfw 60k out of undergrad

>Tfw finance majors shit all over you for doing the pleb work but you don't give a fuck because you really didn't know what to do as a college freshman and accounting sounded pretty cool

Hoping for some good advise ?
>Be me 29
> Start working at 18 for Dell, GE in call centers
> Bachelor's in Accounting then MBA
>Get decent paying job over the median
> Get work visa to Canada

I've been looking for a job for a while in Toronto or any big city in Canada but due to my lack of local experience and connections I don't get reverts on job apps.

Don't wanna reveal country where I'm from coz then your suggestions will be full of hate.
>>
>>1643671
I'm still not in Canada. Idk if I should transfer credits towards CPA or do some college course to make some connections in Toronto.

My current job in my country is boring af and a lot of my co-workers are leaving some even if they don't have a job in hand

Poo in the loo detected. On a serious note, a lot of companies won't take a foreign hire because visas are fucking expensive and hard to come by. You need to have some crazy mojo in tech or finance or math, then apply to major corporations that can afford the costs of sponsoring you.

If I may ask, what do you do at your current job?
>>
>>1643696
Lol did you read my post ? I have a work visa to Canada And to answer your question I'm currently in insurance underwriting.
>>
>>1643705
I don't understand how you can have a work visa without a company sponsoring you and you therefore already having employment.
>>
>>1643762
You're not from Canada are you ?

So I qualified under the federal program where few in demand professions were sought.

So I'm still in my country and actively looking for job in Toronto.

That might be it, considering I only study the book and barely attend the classes. The book has a ton of fluff and I wish it stuck more to the point, like the site you just linked. I spend time extracting the shit that matters into my notes because I like having all the essential material readily available and that eats up some of my studying time. Or maybe accounting just isn't for me, dunno. I'll stick it to it for now.

I'll definitely give this site a try for studying, thanks.
