Does anybody have that graphic of all of the different majors divided up into tiers? I'm talking super detailed, it probably had 5-10 majors per tier. This one is not the one I'm asking for.

It had aeronautical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer engineering in God Tier.

While I don't doubt that engineering is going to see greater job growth than, say, physics. It is a little misleading, according to BLS engineering is only going to grow by something like 600 jobs per year until 2024 (https://www.bls.gov/ooh/architecture-and-engineering/home.htm) The whole STEM job market is fucked, which makes lists like these doubly retarded. What I'm trying to say is, regardless of your degree, we're all probably going to end up code monkeying.

Pretty good if you can get a job in a city you don't hate. Good luck with that.

>>
>>8963014
Just the knowledge they have

I go to the library a lot and most of the kids there are English/Poli sci/History majors (at least the part I sit down at)

The difference is probably the fact that they enjoy learning and learning more tha just their one field of study. That, in turn, makes them smarter. Just because some autist majors in math and thinks he should only learn math isnot going to be as smart as that kid in English who is also applying his mind in a variety of fields. This is the problem with a lot of the kids in my physics classes. I think most STEM kids are just elitists who think that numbers make the world go round when in reality its the aforementioned kids.

English kids are also cute ~
>>
>>8963022
So they are smart because they go to the library frequently? They can read and process information from books? Well shit I guess they must be pretty smart then. Also how the hell do english and history majors make the world go round at all? Most of them end up at some shit job that has no impact on humanity at all. STEM actually advance technology and knowledge of ourselves, our world, and our universe. Nah you're right some author of shitty fiction novels or a historian studying some ancient shithole will definitely help us more!

>I'll be enjoying my 90k straight out of undergrad CS job while you stay salty :)

>>

No. This is a perfect example of prime autism in STEM:

I said I go to the library and meet with these people, therefore that's how I know them.
They make businesses, they learn to be human, and they learn what the real world is. Who's going to connect more to a poor child? An author or some shitter udergrad computer science major bantering on 4chan's /sci/ board?

Also goes to show how poor most STEM majors' reading comprehensions are. It's as if half of you guys don't even read, you just see a number and plug it in.

(Computer) Hardware Engineers are Top tier, Hardware Eng actually requires more advanced Physics than a typical EE.

Hardware Eng at Graduate Level can use more advanced physics such as Quantum Mechanics, Solid State Physics, Condensed Matter Physics & Optics.

(Robotics &) Control Engineering is a very mathematical branch of EE.

Except philosophy is a hobby, not a job.
You don't go to school to learn and practice a hobby unless you're from a very rich family or want to be homeless.

Get a degree (or even go to a trade school) something that will challenge you, contribute to the world, and pay your bills.

I love music and I love philosophy, but I got my masters in EE, make $200k a year, and play my piano, guitar, or have a scotch and read a book or have a philosophical discussion on my free time and weekends.

Then again I need someone to pump my gas and make my french fries and that's where the people who went to college for music and philosophy come into play.

You sidestepped the point by lumping business majors in with liberal arts when the bachelor in business is not under the liberal arts; it's a bachelor of science. STEM majors do tend to be more productive than liberal arts majors.

Also, STEM majors often wind up in consumer-centric environments, which demands an understanding of less scientific principles such as customer needs, cultural & regulatory context of the product and its manufacturing methods, and often the management of people in order to implement changes and work across the other disciplines that are needing the technical expertise. You're getting your view of STEM majors from a subsection of undergrads, not actual professionals who are fully in their adult lives.

There is an air of superiority around a lot of the collegiate crowd in general. It usually mellows out when these people actually get into the work force.

Most electrical engineers end up in software development, mostly web development because they can't code for shit. No offense, but it's goddamn true.
But other than that, I hear a lot of them that don't wind up in development have a hard time finding any job relevant to their field.
I will admit it's respectable and one of the more difficult / challenging STEM majors.

HUmanities Majors will be Either
Future Top Lawyers & MBAs
or Future Failures in Life

They could major in something more respectable such as Economy, Finance or Linguistics.

Remember that if you major in STEM with good GPA you can do later:
MBA to be a Engineer Manager or Scientist Manager.
Law School be a Patent Lawyer.
Medical School to be a Doctor (+ Biomedical Engineer or Medical Physicist)
Even work in Finance, Government & Intelligence Agencies.

The question is Can you get a good GPA in STEM or not?
If you have Good GPA thousands of opportunity doors will open.

However

you must to do much more effort in STEM than Humanities to avoid Bad GPA & Keep Good GPA.

You should invest some time in learning to understand graphs and charts; it's an invaluable skill in this age of data gathering. For example, this graph you've replied to is meant to show the span of earning for individuals based on their college major, including the very top and bottom earners.

So, while it may seem strange to you that people can earn $70k a year with a degree in music, it's important to remember that music itself if a very difficult skill to learn which requires years of dedicated practice. Conductors and top performers can earn even in excess of $70k, too. Furthermore, music teachers at the high school level, who I imagine hold most music degrees, much like coaches have the ability earn bonuses through doing well at their job, and make extra money by offering private lessons. For example, when I was in high school the orchestra director was the highest payed member of the staff because he'd taken the orchestra to national-level competitions quite regularly.

>muh """pure"" engineering

at our school its midstream focused, so our curriculum is basically chemical engineering with an emphasis on fluid mechanics and hydrocarbon analysis/ properties. We also have industry focused engineering classes our senior year such as drilling, well logging, production, distribution etc.

You would be suprised at the amount of fascinating engineering that takes place out in the oil field. Many of the techniques and methods were developed a century ago and were built upon by innovators ranging from massive corporation r&d guys to Joe Roughneck in Odessa, Texas. It is a field that most people get into just to irl shitpost and make $200000 a year waiting for the red flag to go up, but its also a field that has huge opportunity for creation and innovation. For any of ypu high school guys out tbere, shale gas (aka natural gas) is a semi fledgling technology that needs innovators and good engineers that are creative and would like to solve industry problems.

He was literally talking about that, though. Reread his post.

Because it's literally impossible to get a "biomedical engineering" job with a bme degree. The program doesn't specialize in one discipline of engineering, instead it's a broad education over a bunch of different engineering fields. You become a jack of all trades and make yourself unemployable unless you get a master's or phd, but that just looks stupid.
If you want a biomedical engineering job go chemical or mechanical and apply for a biomedical engineering firm. You're way more likely to get hired that way instead of with that worthless degree.
