I like that cover. What is it from? Also, a book isn't necessary for this. Just reflect about what it is that naturally interests you and consider the viability of it in the job market. Moreover, consider the life it would afford you in one of the worse off scenarios, and consider if you'd be comfortable with such an outcome.

I don't recommend CS, as many of the jobs are now being farmed out to India or China. The medical field is also, in my opinion, now worth the squeeze in today's age.

The cover is from a book by Julius Evola called ''Ride the Tiger'' which is basically a frame to read with the constant changes in the political scene through the ages, and how to benefit from the chaos while keeping your mental sanity. I'd recommend giving it a go.

Your money or your life and early retirement extreme. Read these as soon as you can, to prevent wagecuckin.

Real Estate. You'll learn enough to know how to invest in rentals and can split it 50/50 from there to income and trackers while you travel the world and write.

How old are you?

If you're thinking of things to study, to be honest it doesn't matter what you study. What matters is that you network, get internships, and finally get internships. You can study classics, english, economics, philosophy, etc but so long as you can leverage your way into internship programmes from very early on you will have a top paying job lined up for when you leave.

I would recommend studying something quantitative personally because it helps you on the job mkt, but the best degrees year on year for your career prospects are Medicine, Law, and Economics/Finance. You can study a subject outside of this with no quant skills but you need an internship so you graduate into a job.

You will not learn enough at Ugrad to actually say anything interesting or relevant in your field, so don't get any big ideas. If you knew you wanted to be a historian academic you would know and so wouldn't ask the question.

I studied econ and have a place at a BB bank. I read philosophy, and humanities in my spare time, I did not need a degree to to that. I have not met any phil grads who have impressed me. The ones I know who are exceptional go on to become academics, but ugrad phil students are not special or unique. Now while I know as much as a typical phil ugrad, if one tried to do my job they would struggle since they lack the hard quant skills.

So you can get jobs with any degree if you network and have internships, but outside Law & Medicine I would still recommend a degree with some hard quant skills.

I am 24
I have enrolled to study Engineering since I figured I might as well get something technical which can ensure I have access to a good paying job, since my interests are (much like you) in the humanities. I do not see the point of going to Uni to study anything else but Stem/econ.

You'll be fine then. Join the philosophy society so you can meet like-minded people, they will often have debate/discussion groups and socials.

>why study one of the best degrees for graduate employment, that gives you the understanding of markets, corporate finance, and game theory needed to navigate the financial world, as well as quant skills for working on financial model?

How does econ fare against the inevitable tide of automation?

Isn't macroeconomics complete nonsense?

>>16063807
Great book, reading it right now. Very curious, did you take notes? Or annotate the book itself?

I used to lit homeboard but i left because of this. The people here are just not smart. They just worship books, and yeah books are good, but you need to relate the book to your own fiction and your own philosophy and never regard yourself as some -ist, because then your just as bad as those consoomers that were sold a lifestyle

Yes, CS jobs are being farmed out, but an intelligent graduate from a good university, and/or someone with good project experience will always be desirable in the industry. Any monkey can learn to code; CS majors are not there to teach you how to code. Saying not to do CS as a blanket statement is a brainlet take.

Oh, is that right? I'm actually reading it now. My buddy passed it along to me without the book covering. It's pretty interesting so far, but it's only really covered an interpretation of Nietzsche's work.

I suppose it would have been more accurate for me to say that finding good, high paying work will become increasingly rare due to the aforementioned reasons. However, you're speaking of the highly skilled, which tend to be exceptions. I can tell someone it's a bad idea to become a professional bodybuilder. Is it impossible to accomplish this task? No, but most won't be able to reach those great heights.

Keep guessing

Go for Human Resources or Banking and contribute nothing to society

What exactly is there to contribute anyway?

If I can benefit from modern world knowledge, had use that to have an honest retrospective look into my strengths, and weaknesses as a person, and build a more accurate model that'll allow me to have a better life. Then I see no point in investing some time in reading a book, and figuring it out.
