what is the most /fa/ field to major in?

fashion

>>12667318
economics and finance

Major doesn't matter, but the school does.

Ivys are a safe bet, but Emerson College is underrated. A ton of famous writers, directors, musicians, and comedians graduated from Emerson.

>engineering
look at 90% of people who major in this for evidence.
>comp sci
again similar reason as to why.

you can still be /fa/ in those majors, but those majors have a slant toward dressing sloppily/lazily.

>>12667318
being a broke musician

English, philosophy, history.

are there any /fa/ careers that are also financially stable?

>>12668853
as an anon mentioned earlier, i'd argue architecture is a pretty stable and effay field

Forestry, Geo or something similar for /out/ core

>>12668926
Architecture has one of the highest unemployment rates and is really oversaturated.

Only get in it if you have connections and an actual passion for it.

>>12668853
Investment Banking or finance related careers, specially if you are a male (suits galore)

can't be /fa/ and a poorfag

What you're looking for is: a high earning job where you frequently meet with rich clients who will judge you very harshly, and thus you must look your best to at least tick the easiest boxes.
The hardest boxes to tick are other things these clients judge you on, like your charisma, your circle, your car, your wife's looks, your friends. Your knowledge of your field is a given.

And there you have it. In order to have a /fa/ job (an investment banker, a lawyer, a shipbroker to name a few) you must not be the kind of person who posts on 4chan

>>12667318
not autistic engineering or self obsessed artfags

>Selling your soul to be a cog in a megacorporation is effay
Idk...

My vote goes to something like philosophy or English. Not effay careers, but pretty effay majors. Besides, you can always take something like philosophy into law school.

What about construction management?

being a simple laborer is the profession with the highest /fa/ threshold.

>>12669043
That sounds like the opposite of /fa/. There's nothing effay about construction

>>12667339
Comp sci here
Only friend who lurks /fa/ is really /fa/ here

>>12669030
Do you think an investment banker, a lawyer, a shipbroker or an insurance broker are just a "cog in a megacorporation"?

No cog is ever highly paid, people who get paid are indispensable.
In these cases, they have their own clients and bring them with them when they change jobs.

t. Chemistry major and Pre-Pharmacy

not being a wagie is the only /fa/ option, start a business and own your masters instead of being a lifeless cuck

>>12669122
huh?

I don't know, maybe fashion design?
Any anons out there with advice on starting a jewelry degree? Not sure if I should go to DIY or something, figured /fa/ had some accessory lovers.

>>12667329
fpbp

>>12668622
Could've fooled me

>>12669586
It seems that /fa/ is really lacking on accessories in general. Every time someone starts a ring or necklace thread everyone calls them a try hard fag. I personally enjoy both, but don't wear either as I'm not attractive and I WILL look like a try hard loser if I wear either. I also wish I was feminine looking enough to paint my nail, but I'm not so I don't.

>>12669030

In modern society you're expected to be useful and work together with people for something greater than yourself. I like wearing a suit, making a lot of money and having a company that offers benefits from paying your rent to offering super good stock packages. Dunno why everyone nowadays needs to shit on banking, we literally make people's dreams come true. Business loans out to entrepreneurs are what built this world.

Got major in Supply Chain (logistics) and worked in a megacorp. Didn't feel right here at all, so I left. Now get my master degree in business informatics since I'm skilled a programming and had most fun with it as a processing engeneer for logistics.
Also memes aside you can work with this degree in every fucking industry, I have an internship at Antonioli this winter.

Effay schools:
>> Harvard

>> duke
>> Columbia
>> Vanderbilt
>> William and Mary
>> wake forest
>> Boston College
>> Williams

>> USC

>>12672033
>tfw made the list
thanks anon im glad William and Mary is effay. How long until UVA folks get mad as fuck a this post?

>>12671683
Clearly you aren't around the CAC at all. Almost every NESCAC school presents a thin or non-existent spectre of the greek life scene which would render unto them any marginal layer of the 'prep' title. Places like Tufts, Williams, Amherst, Middlebury, Bates, ConnColl, or Colby are unfortunately small enough in student body that they are able to essentially be held hostage by a small contingent of campus extremists who end up dictating the course of the school's social scene. Most of the NESCAC schools have abolished Greek life, and those that haven't are inching (or being inched) day by day closer to a status like Reed college. This isn't, of course, to say that there isn't a considerate amount of wealth at those schools, there is, it is just that they do not at all fulfill the qualities of a classical definition of 'prep', that which this thread is subscribing to. They instead represent a contemporary prep that serves as a conscionable evolution.

Proper classic prep schools are still the Ivys (sans Brown), Duke, Union, Wake Forest, Hobart and William Smith, William and Mary, Washington and Lee, and so on.

Just be good at whatever you want to do. Confidence in where you are is effay.

this guy knows
>studying maths and philosophy at most effay uni

anything at Union college

It's been said before but major: finance/economics

work: finance

Trust me that if you walked around the trading floor of any major bank like Goldman, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, etc its all the finest high end fashion from NYC. Those people get paid a ton and have a serious competitive edge and a 'keeping up with the jones' mentality. Also they think in ways like projecting power and worth through clothing/watches, guys will even go to lengths to perfect some super complex way to knot their tie.

I've never watched the show Mad Men but if everyone wear super fancy dope suits in that than banking is the modern day equivalent

law and politics here so I'm gonna shill my exact major lol !!!

>>12672029
would you recommend a path similar to this for someone who isn't great with math?

>>12667318
What is the point of a thread like this? People are either going to post their own major, something to do with arts/design, or something that will get you a job in academia. Are you going to decide your major based off of how effay it is or are you just looking for reassurance that your major is cool?

Yeah, that's my point. You can be /fa/ in a major that usually dresses like shit and you'll stand out in a good way (usually).

"having clients" fucking sucks. of course people look up to people with "clients," but the lifestyle fucking sucks. I would much rather be a well paid cog than have to deal with clients in a toxic industry.

a career where you're judged by your looks, how slick you can talk, and "social stature" (car, wife, et cetera) suck. you have to constantly prove that you're valuable (or make appearances that you are!!), you have to constantly hustle people for business, you have to constantly pitch people.

you're beholden to "people with" and most of the time you make compromises. You are a bitch to the money. I guess it is "effay" though whatever the fuck that means.

>>12672549
They dress practically which is dressing well. They also never take fuckboys seriously.

>>12672628
>unironically using the word fuckboys
nice
but even if engineers dress like shite they'll be making decent money if they do well in school

>>12672125
Totally depends on your personality and what you can do best and enjoy doing best. Evaluate your skills. I got logistics degree simply because megacorp had a shitty cahrity programm (basically so many people left they were ready to pay for university of young people if they sign for two years), so I got debt-free out of it and could learn best what I can and want to do.
