computer science. I think if you don't know what career you're after, think about what kind of lifestyle you want to live and start looking at jobs/careers that allow you to live the way you want to live. I just want to be a /comfy/ dev or remote programmer

>>7235664
are personality tests good for this

it's a long story.
To keep it short, I stopped doing math after algebra II in high school.

I wanted to do EE, but just to /start/ the pre reqs for the major, I'd have to take College Algebra, Trig, Precalc, Calc 1, Calc 2, Calc 3, Physics 1, Physics 2, and Physics 3
It would've taken me 6-7 years to get the EE degree.

My backup was Computer Science. Luck would have it that it's in the same department as EE at the college I'm looking at, meaning I'd have the same prerequisites. It'd take slightly shorter though, at 5-6 years.

So now I'm on plan C, get a BS in Information Technology with a Networking and Cyber security specialization, start building a programming portfolio, and start taking night classes for CompSci when I get a career job.

If you're any X Engineer you are guaranteed at least 2x your local min wage job. It doesn't even have to be a related field. People will hire you into management positions. This of course considering you aren't completely socially retarded (which most of this site is).

Where's neuroscience PhD in there? Good tier I guess because there's not a lot of money in research.

I'm a year from graduating with EE
I'm dumb and didn't retain almost anything other than VIR
>am I fucked?

>>7235813
Don't be a fucken quitter. If you quit now it'll become a trend for the rest of your life and then when you're laying on your death bed you'll look back at a wasted life. Study your ass off for the engineering degree, it's worth the struggle.

Def god tier cmon now

>nothing on my curriculum
yep you are ded.

>>7235495
Medicine should be unbelievable tier. In the US an MD means you'll make at least 150k per year

>>7235966
Not the same anon but computer science creates the basis for computer engineering to be possible. Any computer scientist will be able to pick up computer engineering faster than a computer engineer. Perhaps this is why a vast majority of "computer engineers" in fact graduated with a "computer science" degree.

>>7235977
I can't afford tuition. I have my college paid off for four years. Any more and I have to pay out of pocket. I don't qualify for any financial aid from what I can tell of my fafsa. Believe me, I would love to get the degree. And I am. It'll just take me a bit longer than it would've if I hadn't fucked around in high school.

>TFW Good Tier MS and don't even work in that field anymore

>>7236007
You also start off with ~300K debt and that 150k/yr doesn't come into effect until you finish residency.
Lmao

>computer engineering
What is this shit?
Show me a top 10 uni which offers that degree?

>tfw when grandpa was an aerospace engineer who worked for NASA and literally sent men to the moon
>tfw you're a shitty humanities major whose only hope is to make it in crypto

Why is Info Systems never on these lists? It's pretty decent and enjoyable so far to get the best of both worlds in IT and Business.

>>7235966
In my city the difference is CS is only programming so you don't really need to go over the three years while eng is electronics and stuff about designing PCs too so you are required to do the full 5 years, Why is it better now?

>>7236086
It's not a degree. Computer science teaches you everything you need to know.

Chemical engineer reporting in. I have to take over my family business so that's why.

>>7236086
computer engineering is essentially microelectronics. Computer engineers design stuff like integrated circuits, motherboards, processors, low-level programming and embedded systems, etc.

>>7236220
It's harder to get into my field. My classmates are all people who had the grades to get into medicine but didn't want to because they didn't want to deal with patients.

am I gonna make it? I'm not learning anything I haven't taught/cant teach myself, and I'm making more than enough to support myself with ecommerce. Should I keep going?

Undergrad was political science. I had a full ride but college enviorment wasn't for me so I got out with the easiest degree I can get.

No debt.

>>7236315
Once again the chart is not based on difficulty of the degree alone.

Nice! I don’t have any debt either and I got a pretty comfy job after just graduating. Poli Sci is underrated especially if you’re in a country with good government jobs

For the accounting degree, I'm assuming not including CA after?

Geology.
I have 2 years down, one year to go of being a wagekek technician and then I get my professional license and reach comfiness. I've seen my superiors at the firm and it is for real. I will be 25 years old and making $50,000 a year working 30 hours a week or less.
And unlike the tryhards who got masters degrees before getting licensed I don't have any student loans.

>>7235495
Computer engineering major here. Started out in software engineering and to put it simply I wasn't cutting the mustard with grades.
Switched to computer engineering because:
1. interested in stuff down at the metal.
2. was fairly competent programmer
Funny enough, I have a job lined up after graduating as a software engineer in qa

Marine transportion. I have a third mates license to sail on commercial ships. Been to over 15 countries and have sailed around the world. Great pay too

Philosophy should unironically be in good tier

Geophysics should unironically be in good tier, unless specializing in petrol, then god tier

Oh, I would've been more interested answering questions related to personal accounting, but sure:

Some shitty 3 year "degree", I work for a company that rakes in $70m a year (and got a new $91 mil contract with the city's public transit), I do all the payables and half the payroll (and a chunk of the reconciliation), I make $40k (CAD) and it's my first accounting job. I think most account jobs in the province start at high 20ks or low 30ks so I guess I got lucky, considering I had no prior experience.

>>7236387
It's always better to keep a perfect record in an Excel sheet and have your employer auto-deduct it (or yourself). I for instance have an investment income of $5k annually and I found the tax rate for that (20.05%) and I divide the annual tax my annual pay periods (24) to be automatically deducted from my payroll so I don't have to bother with it at the end of the year. That's the best option if you know for sure what it will be, but if it's volatile, file it yourself and find the appropriate slip (T5 form in my case).

>>7235495
Computer Engineer 2nd year
Dont know if I should specialize in software or stay in general CE

>>7236446
That's not even that good desu, it's decent compared to peers but I've seen dudes come out of undergrad and get 6 figures right away, mind you they were active in the student council and did all sorts of extra shit

>>7235938
get a part time job in your last year related to your major.
your most valuable skill is the ability to learn and relearn what you've already learned.

my first year in the job, I was thinking about a lecture from a year ago, and suddenly the concepts of bandpass vs low/high pass made sense.
I didn't even use any of that stuff in my job.

when you're new and nothing make sense, that's because you have no history to work off of. then over time you slowly grow a history and everything clicks into place at a much faster rate.

Risk Management and Insurance-IS . I'm now a Stat Analyst.

>>7235495
>Computer science
Dont do it unless you're genuinely passionate,competent, and have specialized skills. Competition's gotten cut throat. I predicted the rise in its market and growth as a lad but fucking speakers and school figures told everyone religiously that it was the future and so everyone and their grandma are jumping on the bandwagon now. Shit's over-saturated unless you got a good specialization. If you want a generic dev job, good fucking luck.

Can confirm Pharmacy is a good route. There’s a lot of memorization but tests are usually close together so you’re not as likely to forget things. That and everything ties together toward the end so your knowledge compounds. Ton of organic and biochem as in you’d have to know the basics of what a compound would do based on functional groups. Other than that, the job is all quality assurance. You’re generally managing techs and providing the final word and explaining use to patients. If you don’t like retail like a CVS you can work in a hospital where it’s generally laid back. And if you don’t even like being a pharmacist you can go do research for a pharmaceutical company.

Doing my Bachelor in CS
I'm actually very happy with it since the degree isnt as easy nor is it as hard as other degrees (harder for normies ofc)
I also see great future with my degree and to have a decent job to care for my family
The livestyle is also pretty neat as I get to sit on my ass all day and solve tasks
Its also pretty easy in my country to find a job with that degree
feeling really comfy with my pick


I thought maybe to go into fog computing or even blockchain in the future, but lets see how the market goes.

very comfy

I'm half a paper and some LaTeX fuckery away from a PhD in meteorology. Fun plot twist: I will get the exact same shitty salary afterwards that I'm already getting now, because for some reason a PhD is mandatory if you want to stay in research, but you get zero financial compensation for it. Thanks a lot for that waste of time.

(needless to say we're not talking about permanent positions, because those are a myth in the public sector in Germany)

computer engineer, I wanted the most flexible degree possible in terms of being able to work on my own. I can build/design/fabricate electronics for extremely cheap and make an easy automated profit with outsourcing manufacturing to asia and using a fulfillment service. I can also do all the developer CS stuff, especially lower level stuff, freelance or my own projects, or get a job for 100k$ starting pretty much whenever I want since my skills are in such high demand.

what area of research
>tfw graduated with a nuclear eng degree and got a job as a physicist
will be going back to get my masters in the near future, probably not the doctorate though

University is paid by taxes in my country so I will be graduating without debts.

I will be getting my master’s in CS this year. I picked it because I liked math and computers.

Ultimately I’m seeing the degree as a bit of a waste. I currently have a job as an iOS developer that’s pretty lax and really not to mentally demanding ( most software development is pretty easy desu unless you’re being swamped by stupid deadlines) Jobs that ACTUALLY use the theoretical stuff I’m learning in grad school are very hard to find. ( machine learning neural networks genetic algorithms metaheuristics optimisation ) and competition is pretty extreme for them. Ultimately I don’t even know how if it’s even worth it to be a Data scientist considering mobile development can pay decently and hell you could probably get into that even without a degree. Since I didn’t pay a single cent for my degree I’m not too upset I’ll just be glad to get my masters over with and focus exclusively on my career.

>>7236588
>general CE
what does this mean? there are many areas you can specialize in in CE in hardware/software/both.

>>7238030
what country? Also yeah I'm pretty pissed that right now in my undergrad I've made more use of my mobile app skills then I will of my expensive ass degree.

>>7236007
Yeah and then you'll kill yourself because of the stress.

>>7238079
Croatia
The things I’ve written probably applies for almost all EU countries.

I see very very few jobs actually demanding skills in ML deep learning and all the other CS stuff.

The job market is mostly web dev (backend or front end) and mobile. Also there’s HW stuff if you like low level languages. The EU is kind of behind the USA when it comes to software though. The top of the top CS guys at my school got jobs at Google and Facebook though so it is possible but the competition is pretty hefty.

The USA has more of these jobs available I believe since the EU is kinda lagging behind when it comes to software.

But like I already said I’m fine being s mobile dev it pays decently and the job isn’t stressful.

>>7236477

mech. engineer should be above aerospace

because mech. engineers can get virtually all the same jobs aerospace degrees can.
but with aerospace you are limiting yourself to one field.

>with aerospace you are limiting yourself to one field.
not true at all, I know lots of aerospace guys that get jobs doing r&d for car and train companies too, just depends what you specialize in. they can learn embedded systems and fuel stuff and foils, stuff from pretty much every engineering field.

>>7238431
The general rule is that the USA has unmatched wages when it comes to software jobs. I wouldn’t mind immigrating to the US but it’s a pretty difficult process.

I’ve heard the working culture can be pretty brutal in the US though compared to here in Europe. Stuff like unpaid overtime and no vacation days.

In Germany for example it’s mandated by law that your employer has to give you a minimum of 4 weeks vacation (lots of good companies offer 6) you are guaranteed 6 weeks of paid sick leave etc. But you’re also looking at wages of around 50k ish euros before taxes (and the taxes in Germany are pretty big compared to the US)

Croatia is similar except the wages are even shittier here because we are a shitty ex communist nation. (but the cost of living is also low so my living standard isn’t THAT bad)

Your option might be to try to get employed at multinationals like Google Amazon M$ in their European headquarters. They generally pay better than the local firms and yet you still get be perks of a lax European work to life balance.

And thanks. I made a lot of mistakes cuz I’m typing in mobile :——-DD

>>7235495
I'm taking economics, and so should you.

I mean, it's a no-brainer. You've got experience with currency markets, you have a base understanding of how markets work, you can read data, if there's a well paying job open, and there's always well-paying jobs in finance, you're basically a shoe-in.
I mean, come on anon. Do you really think you're going to be an aerospace engineer? We both know that's not going to happen.

More like 150k debt. Residency pays around $60k a year by the way, but let's assume you don't pay off any of your debt during residency. Most specialties pay 300k+ a year, and the more competitive ones pay 400-500k a year. Derm is literally god tier lifestyle to income ratio. Low hours, 400k a year, plus the ability to open your own practice.

Business computer information systems is the use of technology in business.

Computer science is the use of computer technology in engineering.

Then there's engineering and mathematics.

it's calculus though, probably you just learn the basics to be able to apply them? Not like EE really need to know the theory behind them, here in my school at least they actually learn its theory and shit. Or maybe leafs are just crazy and teach math in a nonmath course i dunno.

Thinking of studying construction management.

I'm one semester away from getting a degree in English Language and Literature (ESL) in my native third-world shithole. I was fine with the idea of teaching four years ago, but now l'm dreading it, and the thought of tying myself down here is even worse. I just take solace in the fact that if the stars allign l might end up teaching English in Korea or Taiwan.

If l have to stay here though, l'm considering putting a few more years into something more marketable.

Aerospace engineering.. i did one month of it. In australia for QANTAS. Why I only did one month.

1) out of a class of 15 there were 2 white australians. First warning sign.

2) the rest were pajeets and malaysians. Which, if you read between the lines, indicates that outsourcing in the asia pacific albiet the rest of the word will go to shit tier countries.

3) they had hardcore recruitment drives but only the whities were offered extra curriculur courses on management. Final straw for me, meant I would have to live in said shit tier countries to manage the incompetent fucking retards who have next to nil logic and have to be hand held through every single process.

Warning to anyone looking to move into ANY industry. Can shit skins do your job? If so and you still want to proceed. Be prepared to do extra HR management courses including safety officer courses. You will go straight into management making sure the incompetent shits dont kill themselves or anyone else unfortunate enough to have to work for them.

Just finished up commercial diving career as i got forced into managerial positions looking after malaysians in the gulf of Aden. Useless fucking retards shitskins and pajeets..

Dont say you werent warned.

>>7235495
> Chemical Engineer in O&G here

Not a bad list. Just a few changes:

1) Aerospace engineer should not be unbelievable tier. I have 3 close friends who majored in aerospace engineering:
* 1 went to Boeing and was incredibly bored, did a coding school, and switched to programming at Amazon
* 1 started working for NASA, low pay, ended up going to law school for patent law
* 1 ended up at Lockheed Martin. She's now a supply chain manager there. I wouldn't rate her job as great, let alone god or unbelievable tier.

Not saying it's all that bad but I don't buy that "muh SpaceX" shit.

2) Finance should potentially be higher. My friends who broke into PE after business school are ballin. Their jobs are way less interesting than mine, but they're ballers nonetheless.

3) Biology and biochemistry with no medical school should go into shit tier. All you're gonna get is some desi hitting you up for 17/hr to wash glassware with no benefits. All my bio friends got cucked. Some ended up paying for masters and working at Pfizer, Medtronic, etc but they're all broke losers.

There's no definitive scale, kids. I know double Es who hate the fuck out of their Intel jobs, "chemE's" who are nothing more than glorified Quality Techns, MechEs CAD monkeys stuck in cubicles doing, unemployed PetEs cursing the mussies, broketier cityfags who studied CivilE, and an uncountable number of all of the above stuck in management positions stroking the cocks of their superiors in meetings all day.

And almost all of these above went to ivy league schools. I don't believe in tiers necessarily for majors. For example, I thought that I needed to nest myself in the highest tier (Computer Engineering) because all my friends were getting scooped by Google, Snapchat, Amazon and starting out at 100k... I enjoyed coding but I really couldn't stand doing it all day. So tiers are more of a rough guide than a formula to life. Only you can know what's top tier for you.

>>7240665
your pay is shitty because you don't work for half the year

Ive seen several die from stupidity in the last few years and the paperwork is a nightmare. But honestly stupid shit.

I was working in the gulf of Aden, two indians or pakis decided that they would go and finish their work off welding nodes onto mild steel pillons for this massive bridge to a platform we were working on.
There had been a no go put on the water as huge amounts of electric current were going through the water. First shit skin jumps in the water, sinks like a rock. Second shit skin cant pull him up so he jumps in after him.

Wearing kirby Morgan helmets so thats about 30kg with welding equipment and weights they sunk like rocks to 40mtrs.
Both electrocuted and dead instantly. No one found out for a couple hours till an all clear for water activity was issued. We pulled them out by the umbilicals.
I fucking kid you not, two shitskins wo helped pull their mates out crying like bitches did the exact same thing a week later. I quit after that and still havent been paid and I have just had my name cleared from that fiasco.

They are so dumb you have no idea till you have to work with them.

It may not seem like you have a lot of opportunities at first glance, but think anon. Are there any relatives who could set you up with an entry-level position? Any friends parents that run a local business?
Seriously, pretend you need to find some kind of employment (that isn't fast food) before march, or you'll die. Who would you talk to? Where would you go? Explore those outlets sooner rather than later. Nobody's first job is gonna be glamorous (particularly without a degree, not that it matters much these days), but what you need now more than anything is experience.

I think the board is too slow to really get around to it.

Basically MIT gives out free courses and theres a site MIT links where you can get ''degrees'' or college credits and I was wondering if they were legit or not.

dont think about it too much man
it's not like you're gonna use 90% of those skills in your real job anyway
just find something that is tolerable and is gonna give you a fat check. don't overthink

>>7241338
you might have better luck if, instead of looking at the careers that sound fun, you look at the actual skills that those jobs are based around. George Costanza always said he wanted to be an architect, but how he probably wasn't very good at math was he?
Was there anything you particularly liked in HS? Or just a hobby you're particularly fond of? Not saying you can necessarily get a job in playing Magic, but what is it about those activities drew you to them in the first place? Even better if it's something you're good at.

>>7241352
I've seen some faggots do this who applied to jobs I've posted. It's a red flag for me. Mostly see it for people who try to sneak into engineering positions without engineering degrees.

But then again I'm talking shit because when I was applying to Goldman out of eng school I had a little section on online Wall Street Prep courses I had completed (yeah, lol).

Several of my EE friends just code for a living now- most are at small companies, some larger like Bloomberg or Amazon (hiring like a mofo). It's a very natural switch, and you should try your hand to score a prestigious programming internship. I even had one friend who "bailed" on his EE degree, said he hated it, and took ALL computer science classes his last year and a half. And now he's a software engineer.

>>7235495
Actuarial Financial Mathematics reporting in. In Fourth year university right now, and I couldn't love this degree more. Sure, it takes a bit of brainpower to get through the math in years 1-3, but fourth year is a lot more technical and specific to finance, at least it was at my University. The Actuary job market is blowing up in the United States and Canada, more actuaries are needed than ever before.

A lot of employment comparing sites say Actuary is at or very near the top; stress is low, hours are ok (unless you want to bust your ass and reach the top), and the pay is amazing mid/late stage. You need to pass a set of 7 finance related exams for the Society of Actuaries, they're rigorous and grueling, but most companies pay for you to take time off to study for them, then give you a raise after you pass them.

TLDR AFM is a fucking amazing degree if you got the IQ for it. Lots of work to be done, lots of reward.

CS seems to be a very swingy degree, a lot of retards do it and a lot of them and not so retards end up doing shitty jobs. It's a stats based chart so of course it doesn't take into account how good you are.

Was orignally going for a CompE degree but fell in love with my circuit classes that I ended up switching into EE. I am now about to graduate with a bachelors this december with high interest in RF. Ive never had an internship before and my gpa is just above a 3.0 but I already got a job offer upon graduation. Could’nt be happier with the outcome but I do wish to return to school after a few years for a masters.

Hear, hear! Depends exactly what type of neuroscience are you doing. Computational, behavioural and molecular neurosciences are three different tiers. The first two are awesome for the skillets, but the last one a lot of the time is just glorified biochemistry. If you are practicing the latter good luck with the job hunt after, you'll need it.

I'm a chemist.
I chose chemistry because it's basically being a wizard. You take some shit, you study the fuck out of it, then you make it into something else.

If that isn't being a wizard I don't know what is.

As a kid growing up, I was good at tinkering with computers at a young age. I played vidya and used the computer 8-10 hours a day (still holds true today).
I feel like I was meant to be a computer engineer/IT. Really, REALLY good at math as well.
But for some reason I ended up as an Accountant and a law school student. I dunno what happened. I still want to learn basic code though, I feel like my autismo, introverted, sit-in-the-pc-all-day mentality fits a programmer occupation.

>>7242373
Do you like accounting? I've been thinking of getting into it.

Theology should be God tier by definition

>>7242373
Same, except I went into finance. I graduated during the financial meltdown though, so I ended up learning to code and becoming a programmer anyways. I'm a lot happier programming and I still make some good money in the stock market on the side. Still too autistic to negotiate a good salary though.

>>7241938

Not aerospace but my understanding it's mostly just a specific type of MechE. Like Petroleum Engineer is just a specific type of ChemE. So if the school doesn't offer it then just do MechE and take some specified classes.

>>7242400
Depends on the person really. If you think making financial statements is fun, or problem solving is fun, then try it out.

>>7242456
I might try to learn how to code after I become a lawyer.
I really want to make a video game, or at the very least I feel you need to know how to code in this day and age to be really, REALLY, successful.

sounds dope. ive heard if you work for a major airline like UPS you can make low six figures easy. the only thing im worried about is job growth.

I'm finishing my B.S. in Physics, have Biophysics lab experience for 2 years. I could go to grad school what does /biz/ think?

>>7242373
Just try it.
I basically tripped into my career; if you have any critical thinking or problem solving skills whatsoever and you can leverage Google properly then you can start cultivating a career in scripting and programming basically in your free time.
Seriously, just sit down during a weekend, put on some music you like, pick a popular language, look up some tutorials and try it.

computer science

i cant decide either going army special forces and pmc after like 8 years or computer science degree in college. please help

Video games have nothing to do with computer engineering unless you're working for nvidia

Bsc biochem, thesis and industry experience, can't find work so it's pretty fucked. I'm planning on going to medschool though so whatever.

+ stack exchange has most of the answers to specific questions you might have at some point

>>7242314
im gonna be a site reliability engineer, red hot field.

>>7242654
I know that. I just want a computer related occupation, video games is at the top priority though.

To be honest, as a kid I wanted to work in Nintendo or in Blizzard.

Amazon is straight-up running out of qualified IT folks to hire, it's kind of amazing.
They're basically gonna have to start a school at some point.

>reserved for diversity cucks
>mfw diversity quotas will be my ticket to success
if they told me being immigrant would have helped when i was a kid i would have never believed them.

It's different person to person. I started in EE+CE and absolutely hated it. I could do the work but was just super average at it. I switched to ChemE+BioMed and was top of my class. I know other people who did the exact opposite as me. It also depends on your professors too.

im just functionally autistic, my entire life is dicking around with computers. i was a TA for undergrad classes but thats about it, got an internship and then a return offer.

most aero internships or jobs require US citizenship, at least in the US. no immigrants allowed kek

>>7243155
i am not in US and i have citizienship.

I have shitty business degree and I wish i got into computer science instead. What can i supplement my degree with in order to break into the IT field.

Going into my first year of EE next fall, currently finishing up calc 2 and AP Physics C, averaging about a B/B+ in both of them. Am I in for a rough time in EE since it is so maths dependent? Or am I doing well enough to not want to kill myself in college courses?

>>7243403
you're not gonna have fun

>>7243443
Well at least I have something to expect now.

Industrial Design

Super broad field. I like it because it's kind of where art and engineering meet. Very hands on and I like building stuff so that's a plus too.
