Now, I'm about to graduate in August as a med lab tech and I have a job lined up at a hospital that will start me off at $24/hr.

Good question. It depends on what field you're going into. I'm what's called a full stack marketer. That means I can do the creative, business and technical side of marketing.

A couple I'd recommend if you're looking to get in the game are:

>Google AdWords
>Google Analytics IQ (VERY important)
>Hubspot Inbound
>Facebook Blueprint
>Infinite Excel Skills
>Webdev (I did the udemy boot camp, it cost me $10)
>SalesForce Trailheads (you have NO IDEA how many major corporations have no idea how to run their own SalesForce)
>Some kind of SEO cert as well

Big bucks tier:
>AWS high level certification of some kind

Many of these are free, and are extremely useful in marketing. Good luck bro!

No problem bro. I did many of these when I came home from work in college. If you want to really focus your time, and only do a few major ones, there are the ones I think are most valuable:

>Google Analytics IQ
>Hubspot Inbound
>SEO of some kind (there are many of these)

If you want to see why: https://blog.ladder.io/marketing-certifications/

These are really not that hard. They don't require tons of math, but you should be taking notes during your courses. I bought a notebook one summer and completely filled it while grinding certs

Oh, and don't be afraid to start networking now. Do some certs and reach out to local business, offering to do marketing for them for minimum wage. It's a good way to build experience

civil engineers are employed in every city in the united states to prepare plans for building sites, roads, highways, and interstates, bridges, retaining walls, reservoirs, levees, dams, retention ponds, etc.

if you really believe that a person can go to school for 4-8 years to get an engineering degree and get a promising job with unlimited potential, then you are completely out of touch with how most of the united states small businesses operate.

not only do professional engineers have to spend at least 4 years as interns before they can even test to become professional engineers--and a VERY large percentage of those interns fail their PE licensing tests--many get stuck in cubicle-grade jobs checking calculations for minor parts of larger jobs, and aren't actually doing anything more than behaving like trained technicians who operate analysis software specifically designed to make their monotonous assembly-line-type jobs even more monotonous and unrewarding.

Read fucking books, stop listening to degenerate soulless music. If you can't appreciate classical at least listen to something with more complexity than fucking top 40 pop music.

This right here is why I trashed my Electrical Engineering hopes I had right out of high school and eventually went into I.T.

It simply isn't worth it, really. You have to work your ass off royally to even get a decent paying engineering job, then the rest of your life you can double check some asshole's work while you get fat in your cubicle.

I.T. is so much better. I was getting paid 54k in my last job in a very low cost of living city in the midwest, which lets me go on vacation all the time, invest in cryptos, have a nice apartment, and go out every weekend. The barriers to entry for I.T. jobs are so much lower, you don't even necessarily need a college degree. Right now I've been taking the last 4 months off totally, because I fucking feel like it. Try it sometime, it's so fucking nice. Even now, I still have recruiters calling me up every other day with new job offers. Am interested in this one DevOps position that looks pretty damn sweet and future-proofed.

TL;DR, fuck engineering and science, learn Linux and Networking.

That's the meme. The reality is that a lot of STEM graduates are sitting at home a year or more after graduation. Starting pay is going down and is also falling behind real (not gov fudged) inflation. India and China are increasing the number of STEM graduates each year. They may be shit, but U.S. middle management can't tell the difference and loves the bottom line. And while Trump promised he would do something about h1b, it hasn't happened yet.

It just seems good because it's still better than a lot of other alternatives. But it's already well on the down slope. On top of that, we are absolutely looking at another .com bubble burst, I would say within the next 2-4 years.

Again, ending h1b would be a huge swing in the right direction for American STEM graduates. But we have yet to see if that's going to happen.

I'll let you in on another red pill: published unemployment rates are a lie and there are not enough jobs for Americans even if Trump sends everyone back.

Red pill #3? This is partly due to automation which is only increasing.

>According to the data derived from the 2014 federal budget, the average annual net tax/benefit broke down as follows:

- White: -$2,795

- Black: +$10,016

>Over the course of an average 79-year lifespan, a white individual contributes a net $220,805 to the system, whereas over the course of an average 75-year lifespan, a black individual receives a net $751,200. However, since there are 4.6 times more whites than blacks in the USA, the black share has to be divided among the various contributors to sort out a one-to-one comparison.

>So, the net cost to the average White American of the average Black American is $384,109. Married? That's $768,218. Got 2 kids? That's $1,536,436. 4 kids? Now we're talking $2,304,654 lifetime.

And then, those natural conservatives to the south, the Hispanics, will surely improve the situation, right? After all, immigration helps the economy! Well, not so much.

- Hispanic: +7,298

>In fact, because there are more Hispanics in the USA than Blacks, Hispanics are already a bigger cumulative net drain on the economy, $411,950,000,000 to $389,710,000,000. Needless to say, the ongoing demographic change from a predominantly white society to a less productive, less white one can be expected to have even more serious negative effects on the long-term economic prospects of the United States that it already has.
If whites want to drop out of the system and hasten it's demise, that's fine. As long as they work towards building systems that don't contribute to the massive transfer of wealth away from white america.

because of IQ, you can't finish a CS degree without having an IQ of at least in the top 10 percentile.

Your options are - either lower stem standards in which case a stem degree won't mean anything, or put low iq people in SJW classes.

Either way, this whole college thing is just a bunch of people not understanding causation and correlation.

There are a number of trades that are in higher demand right now. Though I think nursing is heading for saturation as well, right now nurses are finding employment BEFORE graduation day. And the boomers are only getting older.

Being a Dr. is a pain in the ass and arguably not worth it unless you choose a highly profitable niche. But if you do choose such a niche, you are gold.

Dentistry is another field where you will be employed, period.

Finance/economics and law isn't STEM but very good majors too. Also Medicine isn't STEM either and still one of the best career choices one can make.

STEMcucks just wish to have the social status other high paying majors have, that's why they create those "anything but STEM is shit" threads and engage in STEM circlejerks.

I've always had an interest for History, Literature, Sociology, Religion, subjects like these. I want to focus on these so that I can hopefully get into a good university (for all my swedebros: Lund-tier universites).

Is this a good plan or a bad plan. If you study enough History to become a proffesor would you get equal/better pay than what you would get as a STEM person would?

Bonus question: Is computer engineering relavent these days? If so can you get a sustainable career off of it?

This, these faggot who have stem degrees and no job are faggot who wasted a perfect networking opportunity.
For stem degrees large universities don't provide the education, they provide networking resources for people like me, when I get to that point on my degree I'm not going to blow it.

Also on the certs thing. Certifications ok anything you are majoring is huge. I'm majoring in geology and I know minoring GIS (and certs) I'm way ahead of the game.

When an AI can, if ever automate a finance analyst, surgeon or lawyer it will likely able to automate a computer scientist and an engineer too.

You can earn a liberal arts BA in a subject you enjoy to keep the GPA up and use it as a springboard toward good graduate programs that aren't that tough. I knew a guy who earned a master's in Urban/Regional Planning (not tough at all) over about five years after his worthless BA left him working as a secretary in an insurance company so he took grad course at night. After grad school he bided his time in a do nothing city planning dept, environmental planner job - it allowed him to be outdoors on nice days and sit in an office on bad days.

He eventually became a department head and had a $125,000 salary in a cushy job with a fat pension awaiting him based on that salary. This dopey dude was a stoner, Grateful Dead, hackey sack in the parking lot type slacker when I knew him before he was promoted but an easy graduate degree paid off nicely for him.

>>132163361
It's honestly varied. Most engineers stay at that technical position for years, whereas those with business degrees have a chance to move up and around. Engineering degrees are not going to be a safe bet for much longer, last trade show I was at, every single pajeet and his grandmother were handing me resumes. There's an oversaturation of engineers, hopefully, the H1-B1 visa loopholes get closed, which are bad for finicky presidents and penny pinchers like me who just cycle through street shitters, but better for the country in the long run.

That was my brother. He was always the mathfag of our family. Also, believe it or not, he's a huge chad. He did civil engineering while I did journalism. His summers/semesters
>Partying, drinking, going to concerts, random hookups
My summers/semesters:
>Joined clubs, extraciriculars, two jobs/internships, steady gf (we're still together, going to marry!), Networking, certs, studying

The result? He spent a year unemployed and looking for work with his more "lucrative" STEM degree, while I coasted through an easy humanities degree and had a job lined up before I graduated.

We're both working now, him in civil engineering and me in marketing, but because I was so proactive and determined, I make HEAPS more than he does. Hes doing five figures (respectable) at 26, while I'm 24 and am doing six. I only bring this up because all my life he told me how much more he's going to be making than me because I cannot do math to save my life.

I admit, he probably had more fun in college, but I could give a shit.

Bro, if I could give you a piece of networking advice: ALWAYS be hungry for more. Knock on your bosses door (provided you have an internship) and ask him if there's training spots for new technologies, things like that. Shoot your tech guys an email explaining you're a humble student and want to learn more. I did this a few times and it put me WAY ahead of everyone else. Also, take your mentors/superiors out to coffee and pick their brains. It shows enthusiasm and interest in your field. Me doing this landed me a solid reference with the fucking MARKETING DIRECTOR for my university, which got me my current job.

>>132161572
Certs are great, but experience is better. Still, they're good when you're not in a position to gain experience (try and get into that position). Make sure you don't just coast through your cert. Really sit down and learn that shit. It's easy to tell who looked up the answers on the final exam to earn their cert, at least in my field.

My dad once told me: "this world takes all types" and it absolutely does. There is nothing wrong with going into trades. I've encouraged many of my friends who aren't in school to try a trade. It's good, honest work. Hell, there's a shortage of them here too. We need more people in trades.

I went to college to follow my passions, and I put in the extra effort BECAUSE journalism was my passion. Frankly, you really have no business in college if you're not doing the same.
