what are some degrees that would lead to really high-paying jobs

>>8106368
Posting such a shitty meme tier list means you will not succeed into anything you go, so this thread is pointless.

>>8106368
the one that you're interested in

Surely by definition, if you want to innovate and invent. Some sort of degree allied to engineering of some description would be a top contender?

probably the best meme major list I've seen, other than psychometrics being above engineering and chemistry

Ok phaggots, help me decide. I want a /comfy/ life.

Go full autist into math/physics, and build myself a strong portfolio for programming so I can actually work

Go full jobs and do CS/EE and still build solid portfolio, and actually have the option to work after getting a BS. Wouldn't get the dank knowledge gains that math/physics would give me though

>>8106548
Physics is always god tier, but do you see me posting about it?

>>8106576
I do now

>>8106576
Yes, right here >>8106576

>>8106577
>>8106581
That was indeed the joke I was going for...

No wonder you're doing Chemistry or whatever the fuck.

To be honest, I'm just going into ChemE for the ring

>>8106368
Probably a degree in something with biology or chemistry. Fuck you don't even to do lab work if you get a degree in comp bio, which is the next big field. Pharma companies are starting to hire more and more comp bio people.

>>8106373
>Engineering below CS
kek

>>8106637
computer science is engineering

I'll second that Physics is always at the top and feelsgoodman.

Always at the op of the IQ chart too, innit? Yep.

with automated theorem proving and computers being able to brute force proofs that we would never be able to, you really are being phased out. you were already useless outside your own field, like philosophy is, but now even your own field will be developed by computers.

>>8106555
Job and learn at your own pace in your free time.
Or do a heavy maths based CS course (If you get into a top UNI, you can make CS nearly all maths/logic)

>>8106555
go get a book on undergrad maths, do the exercises. if you enjoy it, go full autists. If not do CS/EE (autist with job)

Before you jump into a math degree, you BETTER GODDAMN MAKE SURE YOU LIKE PROVING TRIVIAL SHIT.

Tell me what to major in, I want a /comfy/ life

>Math and Physics
Would be some dank knowledge gains, could still go to grad school for probably whatever I want, but probably couldn't get a job outside of programming with a BS either.

>EE and CS
Would be able to make some big monies straight out of college, could possibly still go to grad school for maths too. Less dank knowledge gains though..

I'm open to suggestions.

>>8107613
probably Harvard

>>8108169
Math if you're a bonafide genius, as in 1 in 100k
CS if you're talking about a top 10 school
ECE if the school's at least top 50 (or 1st in your country)

Basket weaving or whatever the fuck if none of the above applies, b/c it doesn't really matter after that.

not /sci/ faggots

>>8108574
Next you'll correct someone for using the word genetics to refer to what is "just biology."

>>8108574
There are slight differences between medicine and biology.
For example, medicine requires one to cope with a variety of challenging situations that can arise unexpectedly, and has very practical real-world applications everywhere. Biology, on the other hand, is not as fast paced and, for the most part, requires mere observation of phenomena and memorisation of facts and mechanisms, with minimal focus on testing and experimentation.

>>8108016
Anyone? I want to know how open my options would be if i did applied maths

This. A CS degree means jack shit when some kid can come in with no degree and take your job, simply because he's been doing it for 10 years.

When you use engineering in reference to the academic field, it concerns the physical.
Computer science is conceptual and more related to maths.
>inb4 muh arduino/devices
Computer Engineering
Sure programmers could program how a device would work physically, but they aren't expected to know how it would translate as well as an EE or ME

>no one respecting my trips

Anyway, to >>8106977, I will definitely get a book on it. I'm not a prodigy or anything I just enjoy it so far (**calculus**). Autist with job mode sounds more failsafe though, but engineering seems so drabby. One grad student on here posted about how he works at a coffee shop part time while being a math researcher.. Sounded like the ideal /comfy/ life imo.

>>8106948
I just doubt I'd ever feel as adequate without the brand name education. It's shitty but it's true. I don't want to take the risk of always being too busy to be able to study as much as I want. So I'm sort of ok with just taking this chance and if it fails being a carpenter or wielder or whatever.

And to both of you, thanks for the input. I know these questions are menial and pointless since only I can really answer it, but getting feedback is nice (can't really talk to anyone else about it).

>>8106645

my university has it in their engineering college while the nearby ones put it in IT. too bad, i'd rather be stuck with a bunch of indians than constantly having to fight off a bunch of faggots away from my dick. And if i don't reject them in the most polite way possible I get labelled a homophobe.

>>8108702
Every degree beside Medicine and Engineering is worthless anon. CS is still much better than the others at least.

Architecture counts to? whicht tier?

>>8108798
Shit tier. Because its not listed according to OP's chart.

>>8108496
i don't know how they split the courses at your uni. programming 1 and 2 usually cover the intro to programming and data structures and some algorithm, there is a more advanced course on algorithms that many people say is the most useful class they take in their college career. So take that course, the upper level algorithm class. My other suggestion is take a machine learning course.

pharmacology.. kek

no jobs in that field

>>8108852
Iam not sure about the algorithm stuff, but what it seems like programming related from what I got are the following
>Programmes Engineering
>Declarative Programming
>World Wide Web Programming
>Object Oriented Programming
help pls.

>>8106993
>>8108041

how do you think people come up with theorems, its educated brute forcing (there is no such things as magical genius intuitions going on). computers will get much more mental power than any human brain, combine that with some AI methods in the future. and your days are over.

>>8107948

number theory is actually really applicable for cryptography and such so you better put that on shit tier to fit your list

>>8106438
go away moleynux

>>8108982

pick Declarative programming since it will probably be about more mathy paradigms like functional programing that fits your math degree, all mathematicans loves functional programming they say

>>8107042
That's what it's supposed to be.

>>8108016
>>8108639
please, someone must do applied mathematics

>>8108785
is this tru senpai

>>8108982
Look for Object-Oriented Programming, Data Structures, and Algorithms.

As a chemist, don't do chemistry lol. Engineering is probably your best bet. I believe chemistry's main purpose is furthering our understanding of the world we live in. We help open up the world, similar to physicists.

I like this guy.

>>8109276
But it doesn't. And every tutor / professor out there who isn't slapping students for using Excel to plot graphs is helping breeding another generation of scientists who aren't capable of programatically create graphs.

I have to deal with post-docs who can't subset data, transform or group it, produce statistics on bins...

Why limit oneself?

>>8109287
>But it doesn't.
Well but apparently it did.

>>8109276
this

whats the point of fucking around in python(/waiting for fucking forever for it to open depending on the state of your comp) when you can excel it in a fraction of the time.

Also the viability of a career in physics definitely differs country to country. A lot of people coming out of my degree have to segue into finance to find work in my country.

>>8109315
Fucking around is what you do in Excel. Firing up IPython and typing

stuff = np.genfromtxt('my_shitty_data.dat')
plt.plot(stuff[:,0], stuff[:,1])

isn't that much of an effort now, is it? I'd argue that Office is more resource hungry..

You can develop new models with better predicting power and those would serve humanity for the better.

>>8109225
Yes, if you can't get into Medicine or Engineering then Accounting or CS is your next bet, thats if you dont want to die starving on the streets.

I want to study biochemistry, but it seems to me that just going with either biology or chemistry will give me more viable options for employment and further education. Am I right or no? because if so I would just go with chemistry, I want to minor in physics too.

>>8109256
What's up with the warning?

Im doing Chem research this summer and will decide if I should transfer for Chem e somewhere but I fail to see how chemistry is not practical and at least decent when it comes to getting gigs. My Chem grad friends are getting jobs. Location specific?

It doesnt matter how you're treated. Thats a very personal and subjective matter. The profession of medicine on the other hand is noble and requires alot of hardwork. It will also provide you with job stability and above average income

If you can't answer this question yourself, how do you expect to accomplish any of that?

Protip, most people who change the world (more like ALL of them), either set out to make money or set out to solve an insignificant problem.
