I've worked at a fast food joint for a few years and was an RA before that

youll get a wagecuck job at 50-60k depending on where you live. After that your degree and career prospects are completely up to your work ethic and professional success. Unironically work hard and care about your job, suck the right dick the right amount at your company and if youre a non-autistic white dude youll be fine

Really, you feel like it will be that high starting? My brother is a mechanical engineer with perfect GPA and barely started more than that.

I am probably going to move down south to a mid-sized city 100-300k population with a low cost of living but aside from that I don't really care where I live so will just apply all over.

>>14595849
Mechanical engineering degree and a 4.0 and hes making 50k? Did he go to a good uni? might be the cause

>>14595896
I don't know exactly but I think he makes like 65-70k. He went to a state college with a good engineering program. He doesn't really seem to care though because he enjoys the work.

I would consider 50k starting quite high for me and it would allow me to start building my investment portfolio up a lot faster (would plan on investing about 20-25k yearly). I guess that just seems like a lot because the courseload has been pretty easy (since I switched from engineering) and my current job pays only a bit over minimum wage lmfao

>>14595944
ah 65-70k is more accurate for mech engineer.
Your uni might have average salary data for alumni of your major, At mine (just big state school) marketing is $55,405.00 and busn adm is $60,333.00. Your double major might help raise it too.
20-25k is a fuck-ton to invest. Dont forget youll get taxed so youll only see about $35-40k of your yearly income

>>14595776
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>14595991
Damn that's a lot of money for such an easy degree. I just hope I can adapt to the 9-5 wagie schedule. I am really frugal and think I could easily live off 20-25k after taxes and plan on investing everything else

>>14596007
Yeah I was doing engineering originally and not a good fit for me and all the other engineering students were really awkward to be around. I was going to do a minor in IT, but that would take even longer than double majoring so I decided against it.

>>14596040
What do you like? Don't tell me you enjoy the shit you are doing in school now.

>>14596040
haha tell me about it, I also did busn adm too and it was so easy compared to my engineering friends

>>14595776
You need to network hard or your fucked. There were over 200 applicants for my current job but I never even applied, fuck those odds. I got a senior VP drunk at some industry event that I basically snuck into or I'd probably be homeless right now. Good luck OP

I mean I don't really "enjoy" any work or schoolwork, but it's definitely better than engineering. There was some pretty interesting classes I took like business finance and business law though.

>>14596058
True, I was literally a straight A student all through high school, got straight As my first semester in college on all my other classes except I failed my engineering physics class lol. The professor was just really hard to understand, made no sense, and I just never paid attention because of this and fell further behind. I thought if this is how much effort the first physics class will take, then it will only get much worse from here so I might as well stop while I am ahead (and my friend also just switched to business and convinced me to do the same). Business degree is definitely much easier and the classes are actually remotely interesting. It's interesting to think though that if my engineering professor was different, I could very well be down a completely different career path.

>tfw constant emails about job fairs
>tfw constant emails about internships
>tfw get linkedin messages about different positions
>tfw ignored all these and kept working my fast food job for shit pay
I might have fucked up but oh well, I'll eventually find something.

>>14596122
if youre not an upcoming senior at least get 1 internship on your resume, if not you need a very good reason why you didnt

>>14595776
I think your making the right decision, finally going to college after a few years, gonna do Business admin at a decent mid-sized private college... already got a few startups running and gained some connections being naturally talkative and interesting. Was gonna do corporate law but fuck living in an office if I can do good at walk&talk shit like golfcourse deals... Still not sure what double major / concentrations would be time-effective as shit like marketing can be learned and my business partners already have those degrees. Financial Statistics is probably what I'll end up adding.

>>14596364
>if I can do good at walk&talk shit like golfcourse deals
if youre actually good at that go back to law thats all they do

>>14596364
>>14596392
Yeah I was under the impression that business admin was more typical cubicle work

I actually double majored in business admin because I was not so sure about the stressful nature of marketing and sales and would rather have a more traditional and relaxed 9-5

Wtf is all this business shit?
I thought this was a crypto exclusive board where we all lose money and post pink wojaks.

>>14596392
Yeah after a year and a half of just articling then 2-3 years as a paperwork whore... we all know corporate law isn't an episode of Suits...
IMO I feel like I can better position myself to take advantage of the connections I have and will make,
>>14596418
Fuck well then maybe I'll lean more towards bare bones financial math and stats? In the end I plan on owning 3-5 self-operating startups and continuing to trade options and eventually get more involved on the other side of venture capital. I want to do as little cubicle work as possible while still learning the skills of valuating businesses and understanding raw financials. Any better major / concentration ideas?

>>14596449
Did you try to swing link?

Lol no
I'm not retarded. I havent lost money yet.

If you wanna do business there are a bunch of reasonable majors so honestly do what you're interested in. So long as you incorporate a quantitative component into your education one way or another and avoid majoring in redflag stuff like art history you almost can't go wrong.

Math/Econ/Finance/Stat/History/Biz admin are all fine.

I don't know how to get into VC, so I'm sure there are specifics about that that are worth researching and you should do that. But just speaking in general about business, and speaking as someone who is ~30, I wish I had my shit together in college and jumped through all the necessary hoops and cleared the hurdles to do a 2 year ibanking analyst program. Thanks to working super hard the past 6 years I'm finally getting to the place where that would've taken me...but it would've been a lot easier through that route.

it's 'cubicle work' to the MAX, but it's 2 years and it truly opens valuable doors that close for the most part behind you. The important point I think is that having the skills to value businesses is less important to employers than having credentials that definitely PROVE you have the skills to value businesses (in addition to being able to work like a freak-of-nature and are bought-in to the system). It's one of those things that isn't necessarily fair, but is reality.

Thanks for the advice man I'll check it remember that
