Literally any PhD scholarship which isn't over hyped by the media and reddit.
I literally was the only candidate who applied and got the job. I'm not even joking.
Only downside is that if you want to get a "real job" after the phd, you'll have to compete for jobs in oversaturated fields like consulting or finance.
We'll answer your questions when you stop being a frogposter.
Medicine, especially the fields that people don't like doing, like veterinary medicine, and urology.

>What field isn't oversaturated?
There isn't one. Too many people are going after too few jobs and not enough dollars flying around the economy for it to expand fast enough. Wealth concentration has stymied economic growth and now anyone who isn't in the 80th percentile is permafucked.

Trickle down economics works! Those lazy Millennials aren't working hard enough.

I know, those lazy Millenials should just take our massive wealth disparity, massive debt from the overpriced education system where college administration give themselves raises for breathing, and mediocre economy and be happy. Filthy entitled Mellenials.
>>1011771
I know, those losers. All they can do is whine whine whine. They don't know how good they have it.
>>1011773
Your tears aren't going to fix your horrible life situation, loser.
>>1011775
They should get up and pull themselves by the bootstraps and make their own luck. Dumb Millenials. Jobs wont come to their laps like it happened to me.

Not to assume you're a boomer, but it's funny when criticisms like these come from Boomers. After all, their generation spent their 20's whacked out on drugs, having sex and going to Canada to avoid going to war.
"Now these damn entitled millennials are lazy and don't wanna work."
>>1011814
Regardless, millennials are still retards and it's quite justified to talk shit about them when their biggest issues in today's world is "Black Lives Matter" and "Wealth inequality" and Bruce Jenner's new fake tits.
>>1011819
>Wealth inequality
This is something the IMF thinks is a major problem with the world economy. So yeah, it is a pretty big deal.
>>1011830
Maybe. But it's impossible to fix.
You should pursue:
Psychology
Sociology
Biology
Philosophy
Linguistics
Anthropology
Chemistry
Anything else that ends in -ology
I propose we reimplement the draft in order to place all millenials into forced labor camps where they can produce goods for businesses to make up for their laziness. Oversaturation solved.
>>1011831
>Maybe. But it's impossible to fix.
No, it is inevitable it will be fixed. Either through law or violence. I would prefer the lawful approach, but regulatory capture is making the latter increasingly likely.

>No, it is inevitable it will be fixed
How will it be fixed? Some people are more valuable than others, so they are worth more. It will always be this way, you can kill as many people as you want but people will always get rich in some way.
Besides who is to decide how much is too much? You're giving that power to some single entity(the government) and that would certainly lead to some problems.

The problem with wealth inequity isn't that it isn't completely equal, it is that it is far too unequal. That is to say, very few people want complete wealth equity, but a far, far greater number (including bodies like the IMF) see wealth as being too unequal.
Full communism is undesirable, but a world of have and have-nots is equally as bad.
>Besides who is to decide how much is too much?
For groups like the IMF, the deciding factor is what is best for the economy as a whole, which is a reasonable criteria at the very least. Right now they believe that the current state of wealth inequity is a drag on growth and economic activity.
>>1011883
And what is the proposed solution? How much is too much?
>>1011889
>And what is the proposed solution?
The IMFs solution is to prevent tax avoidance and increased taxation on the wealthy along with increases in funding to education and infrastructure.
>How much is too much?
There is no too much. What matters is the distribution.
>>1011942
>There is no too much. What matters is the distribution.
What if they produced more than others? Why should it be split evenly if people are working harder/more creatively than others?
>There is no too much
Really? So what if you raise taxes too high that it makes no sense for someone to earn enough to push them into the next tax bracket so they just stay under it? Also what's wrong with "wealthy" people enjoying money they earned over some greedy bureaucrats in the government?

>What if they produced more than others?
>Why should it be split evenly if people are working harder/more creatively than others?
I think the operative word there is "evenly" and the answer is obviously that they shouldn't. There's is room for inequity and a degree of inequity functions as a incentive to productivity. There is no dispute about this. The whole issue of "wealth inequity" is that when the distribution of wealth becomes too unequal, the economy as a whole suffers, so measures taken to decrease this inequity act as a net positive making the economy more robust, even if the wealthiest see a decrease in their dollar worth.
>So what if you raise taxes too high that it makes no sense for someone to earn enough to push them into the next tax bracket so they just stay under it?
That's not how income taxes work. Tax brackets are structured so that an increase in gross income will never result in a decrease in net income due to the higher taxes at higher brackets. Money earned below a tax bracket is never taxed at the higher tax bracket rate.
>Also what's wrong with "wealthy" people enjoying money they earned over some greedy bureaucrats in the government?
Obviously nothing. The problem with a highly unequal distribution of wealth is that it decreases money velocity in an economy, causing sluggish economic growth and decreases economic health as a whole.

Because a lot of these guys aren't even self made is the problem, hence why liberals key in on the right problems with the utterly wrong solutions, like taxing inheritance into oblivion rather than incentivising its use as an actual instrument in growth and investment rather than some of these complete ass trust fundies or hedge fund kids with no sound or mature sense of business and use of capital (that's now being gloried over in San Francisco as if "apps" were a real thing, but that's another matter).
Some execs are really hardworking, smart, and dedicated people, but that doesn't mean Tony the auto repairman isn't more hardworking than some of these new money kids who stumbled into their wealth, or spoiled old money brats with no concept of the true value of a dollar and hard work.
Frankly the way in which capital has become dissociated with anything real has become increasingly disastrous, devoid of any real value backing it with people playing hot potato as if all economics is fundamentally no more than a ponzi scheme--indeed, a lot of these people don't even seem to know the difference.
