all degrees have infinite salary caps and no minimum salary. Life isn't an rpg where you only have certain amounts of points to distribute among different skills or abilities. you can be smart and physically strong, or a comp sci major with social skills, or a marketing major that can program better than most cs majors.

it's an emerging field and there isn't college programs for it yet which is why it never shows up on stuff like this

I'd place it in god tier because it's basically csci + stats, so it's a perfect storm of skills and you can get a job basically wherever you apply if you have experience

lol, that is my major. I did it because I am going to college to learn a skill I can't teach myself.
>in b4 you can teach yourself coding
Some people can, I can't.

Also, stats seem like a comfy job, it is not well known or oversaturated and always necessary. Stats is like math in that it has no projects or labs eating up your time, but it is very applicable to most jobs. My worse case scenario is I get a job in some obscure government office making 50k for being a desk jockey. best case scenario, I do something amazing with my analytic skills that I can either sell for billions or just create a business from it.

I've heard of some data scientist programs, but it's FAR from mainstream and common yet still, which is what I was saying

I'm in the data/BI field right now (a few years under my belt), and I would say stats only people are pretty expendable - they really can't produce *good* deliverables without people like me.

I don't think it's easy to become a millionaire in this field, you'd probably have to go independent/consulting, but it's definitely more lucrative than csci or stats alone, that's a fact. Honestly it's still brand new to the market so who knows what's going to happen.

just getting technical knowledge isn't enough, SQL and *some* stats experience is basically essential to succeed, but if you can't apply those tech skills to your business you really won't be successful at all. someone with good insights into the business data and processes is just as valuable, if not more, than people who are only good at coding and visualizations

looks good, great, actually for the technical skill set

basically the only missing piece is what field you are going to work in, because plenty of people have all those skills, but they can't apply them to an academic discipline or business model so they end up just being DBAs and programmers.

so basically all you need to do is choose a discipline or field, that you enjoy, and once you have a few years in that + the technical skills, you'll be a marketable data scientist for that field, and while you're gaining the exp in your field you'll be a data scientist in training.

if you don't have room in your uni's schedule for something, then you'll need to get the exp out in the work force, which is fine

something like biology, physics, finance (where I am w/psych and management exp), facebook/twitter/google, things with massive datasets behind them that you can find patterns and trends in, but if you don't enjoy it at least somewhat it will be extremely difficult to learn cold

If you go to college for Computer Science you're probably already not driven enough to make something of yourself. Comp Sci is one of the easiest industries to break into without a degree too, so if you're majoring in it you probably only are because you played video games through high school.

It's funny how many degree circlejerks there are in a board about business.

His choice is not bad, nor are the things you just described. It depends a lot on background I'd say. If he comes from a wealthy or capable family that can help him start something then it would be retarded to just settle for that but that's not necessarily his position.

For example I want to own businesses but I have a problem, I'm poor as fuck. What do I plan to do? Get a good paying job, save enough for a business, ditch job work on expanding.

While none of my immediate family members are rich my grandfathers cousin is very very wealthy and he did something like this and so did my mother's uncle, and my the father of my dad's girlfriend.

I don't really see anything wrong with pursuing a career in an industry that you enjoy, I just think it's hilarious how people stress out over the "starting salary" & "salary cap" in the degree that they're pursuing. Your own spending habits and investment choices are what determine if you're going to be wealthy or not. People should just pursue what they're good at and learn basic money handling/investing skills.

Also, there are businesses you can start with very little/no monetary investment, it'll just require a lot more work/thinking than getting a job and building a business later.

I just live in a really really fucked up economy, literally this place is a dead zone. Only the highest paid of the very few CEOs that live here earn more than 500k. Everyone is leaving because they can earn more pretty much anywhere else.

Also everything is expensive as hell and we have a pretty high sales tax.

But despite all this I think that if I ever amount to anything I could try to make a difference here however small.

Interestingly, I am a programmer (Enterprise Apps) who works with finance grads. This is exactly the case. For whatever reason, they are paid around 40k (Richmond VA) but when I was hired I started at 75k. And working with the finance people, I realize I can do their job - but they can't do my job. They are completely replaceable by programs and automation, and it is effectively killing the growth of their career fields (and growing programmers).

...So does this mean all finance people will eventually be programmers and making 150k?

If you want to sit at a desk/go to the spa at Google Heaven and make $70k a year and cap out at $150k if you're lucky, sure go ahead and waste $200k on a college degree.

The best programmers are those who started early, practiced a lot, and skipped going to school to improve their skills at a faster rate (EG: Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, countless other startup founders)

Only the inferior and unmotivated settle for working under someone else.

High finance is in structural decline and the glory days are past. Also, its starting to become over-saturated like law where the top talent congregates.

Programming degrees are still the GOAT. If you have the required social skills for finance/law then you'd stand out in these fields and instantly be above your peers on the fast track to management. Engineering is a bit more crowded with people who have social skills and technicals to back it up.

What are you talking about. Videogames are highly profitable, especially mobile games. But even then you could look at EA, Valve, Activision all of them very profitable companies.

And they are bound to get even more profitable when the kids that right now play on mobile grow old enough to play on consoles, they'll be used to microtransactions because it is the norm in mobile, and so they can be nickle and dimed.

Hell its already happening look at those toy/videogame hybrid that sells you the starter set with the game for $100 and then every extra playset( which are only two plastic figurines) costs $20 for like 30 minutes of extra gameplay.

Maybe it's not profitable for the code monkeys but the video game industry by itself is very very profitable.

>Serious question, is economics a meme degree?

It teaches you many skills which will be of value if you have to relate figures to each other and it tells employers that you're competent enough to learn many new interrelating figures and find the most efficient result.

As much as I value economics (HIGHLY, as I enjoy it and have a personal investment) I wouldn't recommend doing it on its own unless you're certain and I mean CERTAIN that it's either where you want to be in the future (I want to be a politician so economics is vital).

I have friends who do full economics (my flatmate for one) and they seem stuck in a rut (as am i so maybe everyone is) and complacent because it's quite easy in all honesty (I thought I couldn't do a full economics degree a year ago yet i'm doing the same work my flatmate is whilst doing modules in two other majors at an equal level than economics)

I wouldn't major in it alone unless you 100% love philosophy but it's a difficult and rewarding (frankly, not monetarily) degree.

It's the hardest of my subjects (although i love and study the other two much more) to get a high mark in whilst the other two are generally thought of as "more valuable" or "a better degree choice".

Source: Politics, philosophy and economics student.

Also PPE at Oxford dominates the UK for top jobs (especially in gov or journalism), so some of the smartest and influential people have studied philosophy at some point (in the UK anyway).

It's also one of the most personally rewarding degrees you could do (if you care about the wider world and history) as you study various highly influential writers from many fields.

These don't make any sense. There are many, many more business majors than there are engineering majors. Electrical engineers are right below business management, one of the most common majors in the country. There is a reason that it is so high when EE has so few grads yet only two respondents below.

Bullshit it's flooded.
Germanbro reporting in. Our government tries to scam people to go into engineering all the time in order to keep wages comparatively low and Germany attractive to industrial companies. Like 90% of them will get a starting salary between 40 and 46k€ (minus 45% tax ;1) and cap out between 60 and 65k€ (minus 45% tax ;^)

Then you become a quant.

Finance covers all /biz/nessman of all trades.
It's is a range from Management/Organizational behavior social stuff down to cold autistic theoretical math and physics.

An example of the first would be sell side front office people who need to convince people to buy into their shitty ideas. An example of the later would be some mathematicians working to optimize the architecture and algorithms of a market makers trading system. (Even most quants are not that quantitative, so they get the real autists for jobs like this.)

You forgot to put Computer Science anywhere.
Also you forgot the obvious Master Degree.
And you're too US-centric.

be aware: there is a range of computer science degrees between a "Bachelor" in "computer programming" (that wouldn't even be a degree in Europe) and a phd in computer science, for example a Bachelor in computer science and a master in computer science.
For some reason you seem to think they aren't superb while they actually are. "Agricultural Economics" belongs straight into the trash bin. And the best below phd level degrees you could possibly hold are electrical engineering and medicine.

Go to Harvard over trade school any day of the week. Go to any high ranking uni over trade schools.

It may be safe to say, that unless you want a specific trade, then go to university over a trade.

Not sure if this is the right thread to ask about this but I guess most of you actually know what youre banging on about or at least can tell me if I'm going about my choices all wrong.

I'm thinking about taking either Marketing, Economics, Banking Finance + Management or Accounting at university next year.
Which one of these do you guys think is the best course to take?
I'm in the UK and I'm currently finishing my Politics, English Literature and Economics A-levels, I got straight C's since I didn't take anything seriously my first year so I'm stuck doing re-sits hoping for straight B's and maybe an A in my English.

Any counselors at college I've talked with told me to just "do what you fancy" and my Economics teacher flat out told me I shouldn't have been a twat and taken English Lit instead of Maths and that Economics is already pointless for me at this stage anyways since I don't have maths to back it up with.

I really don't fancy having to do a third year at college just to get into maths, I only got a B in it in high school and I'm only half decent at basic maths so even if I stay behind a year to do a maths course I'll most likely find it hard as fuck.

Sorry for this too long, hope anyone can give me a little wisdom since anyone I know has just given me the most bland advice imaginable.

Thinking doctors make that much starting.

I have friends who are residents making 50-60k working for top 15 hospitals.

They also have 300k+ in debt from school.

Meanwhile as a vet, i started out at 80k , now make 225k (5years later , as a branch manager with profit share and bonus , for a successful practice in a large city)

I know vet specialist who can pull 600k a year

>Trusting literal memes with your future

These memes got old fast. I can't help butlaugh at anyone that thinks a marketing, business, etc degree are somehow "better" than any other non stem major. You can get an office job with a fucking gender studies major if you can sell yourself.
And ultimately a stem major is worth little if you hate it. What does money matter if you hate your job?

Large animal vets throw the numbers off, so do usda inspector ( which are often vets too)

If you go work for banfield yeah you start at 50k. But thats where the c students go.
