CS is the only BASED stem degree, It's the easiest for freelancing and entrepreneurship. With Mech/Chem you still have to fucking wage slave and work at someone's company

>But da poo poos

Stfu, You have to compete with minorities in every stem field, but with CS you have a chance and platform (your fucking computer) to branch off and attain independence. Unlike ME and other stem bullshit, you don't even need to go to college you can teach yourself computer applications and how to program.

You can post fucking memes, but you can't post evidence or a single example of a non-CS stemlet making it, faggots.

You don't need a degree in CS if you can actually code and show and prove your skills. A CS degree will eat up 4-5 years of your time to teach you old outdated algorithms no one uses and any new technology you learn will be outdated by the time you graduate. Make sense?

All of the successful programmers I know are highly dedicated self-taught geniuses/chads. Some got their degrees in CS or other technical fields, some dropped out, and some didn't go to college at all.

To me, you sound like a first year finishing up their first semester right before Christmas time coping with whether or not the meme you bought into is right for you or not. You are projecting heavy lad. Are you thinking about changing your major?

Who is shilling CS and Programming here? Employers trying to increase supply to pay people less? The last thing I want to do is have to see people from this board at work. The field is oversaturated anyway and most programmers will be replaced by top 10% Indians and Eastern Europeans who work for a quarter of the price.

They're obviously all fine degrees. But you're probably right about CS being the best for freelancing though. It's not necessarily a massive advantage to be able to freelance, since work is work, but if that appeals to you then it's definitely an upside. I'd have to see the starting, average, and late-career salaries for people with these degrees in order to determine which is better. I hear these degrees are vulnerable to starting off strong, but have very little in terms of career development. Engineers seem to do well in business, though, so maybe after several years of work engineering students could get an MBA and go work in a business job.

If you know how to invest then starting strong is much better and reaching a ceiling (CS ceiling seems to be around 500-700k per year instead of the millions that high finance guy can pull).

You are young and smart and you can probably put that money to better use compared to trading your life to finally be making 7 figures when you are 40 and you don't really want to work anymore.

To be honest, the average CS type is going to peak at like 140k if they follow a normal career pipline. Pretty much everyone above that low six figures pay-range, excepting for doctors, is a businessman of some sorts.

All geologists are white. All of them. No fuckable women either. Mining has huge entrepreneurship opportunity, lots of small projects with small teams who sell their property for big. Also a lot of unemployment, alcoholism, and divorce.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

I'll probably make 340k this year including bonuses, and I only have 5 years experience.
