Explain right now why you aren't studying finance in a top school right NOW.
Because CS pays more money.
>>1794436
This, and I finished my degree a long while ago
>>1794434
getting an MBA right now
not top school because i don't want to go into debt
>>1794434
>tfw I'm probably bad at everything STEM-related
What the fuck am I supposed to do when I go to college? I know I'm a dumb-fuck but I don't want to be a poor-fuck.
>>1794506
You're not dumb. You're a lazy fuck who doesn't want to put in the work to understand something.
>>1794527
CS has an infinitely better work life balance
The career progression is not as high though, admittedly.
>>1794523
Pretty sure I'm dumb or at least have some learning disability. Headaches are frequent when I do math and sometimes I feel head fog throughout the day.
Because I make 200k a year and don't want to leave where I'm at :/
>>1794434
Coz I graduated from a STEM subject and I now do a job I love.
Certainly not as much money or even job security but I fucking love my work and I enjoy going in each morning.
So thats better than finance.
>>1794527
>Can CS really compete?
Top companies in the Bay Area pay $100k starting, with ~$200k in stock options that vest over 4 years. Work/life balance is somewhat to a shit-ton better.
>>1794547
Sounds like you're trying to learn it in a day, resulting in a burnout. Make sure to take breaks and eat, then come back and continue learning. Don't cram everything under an hour.
>>1794582
That's great anon, what do you do?
>>1794592
>payed 100k while living in the bay area
heh...buddy... thats nothing
>>1794626
I'm sure NYC and Chicongo are much better.
>>1794597
Thanks, anon, I'll keep trying and all, but most motivation I have at the beginning of every year is always burned at the end of the first semester, regardless of whether or not my grades were good.
>>1794527
9/10 troll bait.
Invesment banking you will work 70-90 hours per week.
In tech, you will work 40-50 hours per week.
>>1794603
Biomedical research. Study cancer. Hard but fun/rewarding
>>1794736
what does an investment banker do with all that time?
>>1794434
Because I don't want to waste time and effort doing something I won't enjoy while I could be making money doing things that I DO enjoy.
>>1794434
Because I work in the oil fields. I'm 22 years old, have a 65k CAD portifolio and am tracking to make 120k this year.
By the time I'm 35 I should be well off to live off dividend and growth
>>1794803
Fuck you home boy. Also, good job. :)
>>1794434
Because I'm still in HS.
>>1794577
tip for poorfag who's currently in cegep and univ soon? i am shit at math but I want to do some business related shit. i don't mind working on my math if it's worth it.
Will a masters in mathematics with a double major in economics get me far in these fields?
>>1794868
Lmao that will get you nowhere. Maybe a nice cuckbox at the wagefarm if you're lucky.
>>1795079

>he spends >50% of his awake time working
>>1794434
sage
>>1794434
Because I make more than most finance workers trading shitcoins in my underwear.
>>1794434
Because I am studying politics, going to a gentleman's society and making connections/networking so a friend's father will eventually promise me a £100k job in his own firm.

fuckers who say they are bad at math are disgusting, math is literally just a series of processes, zero reasoning or logic, this is why computers do math and not philosophy
if you are bad at math, you are an idiot
>>1795705
>math is literally just a series of processes, zero reasoning or logic.
You're talking shit about how people who are bad at math are idiots, however, you state that mathematics is just a series of processes and contains no logic which is not true at all outside the realm of elementary algebra.

Grew up on a rig.
Stay the fuck out of the bars and casinos. Dont develop a drinking problem.
Have fun making twice what the pulling unit hands do
Stay safe out there brother.
>>1794812
Not degrading his job since i know fuck all. But any autist can break 50-60k with overtime if oil isnt bottomed out.
>>1794434
I don't have the brains for mathematics, although I am pretty analytic and adept, and I do believe that I have a strong sense for business/marketing.
I'm going for a career in law enforcement. I want to be a police detective, then, after leaving the force, I want to go into politics and hold elective office.
>>1794434
Because I rolled with an art degree(which included business/accounting/marketing courses) with a specialization toward digital art and animation/3d modeling.
Now toppled with being self taught in programming and music production I can make app games and stuff.
