What would be the smartest thing to do?
In my case, yes, the two are mutually exclusive. If all things were equal, I'd probably go film or journalism. But those are useless majors and I'm sure I'd regret it.
What say you, /pol/?
>>33162982
Film and Journalism are post-career hobbies. STEM is a professional field where you don't rely on luck to succeed.
>>33162982
Pick careers long term staying power.
People with STEM degrees like to pretend their skills are immortal, which is untrue. The price for near instant jobs is that those jobs change, and you have to be flexible or you'll be left behind. I've seen that happen to quite a few people with the "God" tier engineering degree
>>33163087
>God Tier: Physics
Im at engineering school studying physics and coming to realize that it's not very employable unless you do grad school/phD. Switching to ME
The problem with creative subjects is its hard to get noticed.
The problem with STEM is that you need 5+ years of experience for most entry level jobs.
Listen to me mate. Study textiles/materials engineering. It's a rapidly growing industry with great pay (except for the sweatshop workers)
>>33163210
>Pick careers long term staying power.
Such as?
If you don't know don't go.
Going to college without a particular reason is a huge waste, unless the only thing you want out of life is 4 years of partying followed by a lifetime of unhappiness. Spend a couple of years out in the world, try to see a little bit of whatever industries you might be interested in and make an informed decision. Realistically you're only going to get one chance at a college education, even if you can afford it later in life there's always going to be some obligation stopping you, and if you go into the wrong discipline it's either not going to do you any good or put you in a career you don't want.
Your 'passion' typically doesn't require a ~$100k + 4 years of your life. If you're going to college, get a degree that's worth something. Pursue your passion on your own time, self study.
>>33163272
Textiles industry. It will never go away. Unless SJWs make clothing obsolete for women. Plus textiles is considred STEM

There's no point going into STEM if you don't enjoy it. A lot of people who don't enjoy science will likely end up with a 3rd or 2.2 anyway.
My advice to all anons is: go to university only if you meet one or more of the following:
(1) You have a job waiting for you, guaranteed (or are currently employed and can switch to full time)
(2) Your parents / scholarships will pay for all of school
(3) You know with certainty what you want to do

This goy.
You need to be careful where you live or where will you decide to live for the rest of your life. In some parts of the country, some of these degrees do jackshit because there isn't any opportunities for them anymore. Physics is a big victim to this.
I know this feel anon. The best job you can get as quickly as you can is probably Petroleum engineering, it's a fucking shtity job but the pay is huge, even for starters.

Move psych and business down to shit tier, poli sci at none liberal shithole universities up to mid tier, put women's studies in its own tier below shit tier. Add native studies and sociology to this new tier as well.
>>33163767

>>33163737

Although, entrepreneurial stuff usually requires ground finance and contacts.
>>33163767
What can I do with 2 people who have experience when I need someone who knows more then one job? I can't count on someone who only knows departmentalized experience, I need people trained with multiple skills which I can utilize.
>>33163842
That image is as old, unlikely that it'l change.
In truth, just having a degree opens doors. I wouldn't expect people who make "degree tier images" to really understand that, however.
>>33163767
So basically you're telling us
>Start off with no experience and no degree, and you'd be better off!
>Start off with no experience and a degree, and you're guaranteed to fail!
Nigger, the thing is that a degree actually helps us start getting experience in the first place, it's better than to present yourself with absolutely no knowledge and no degree to your employer.

I agree, but from experience (electives i'll never take again) women's studies/sociology courses are actually detrimental to your mental development.
A good portion of tertiary education is a massive waste designed purely to make money for third parties and keep lecturers employed. This goes for humanities, lib arts and STEM.
A better structure is governing bodies of professions setting examinations that can be taken by anyone who fronts a fee and studies, either in their own time or while being sponsored by a company.
Let's face it, 99% of what's necessary to your job you learn ON THE JOB.
>>33164169
Yes, but this ignores another part of degree's functions other then literal experience.
I'd argue that the gathering of business contacts, the making of friendships is as valuable as the actual education being offered at a university.
That and honestly people cannot be trusted to self tutor in 95% of circumstances.
Step 1: Buy many Bitcoins in 2011.

It's possible to recreate this amongst trainees at large and even small companies, remember the number of "apprenticeship" type positions would shoot through the roof so you'd have a whole new type of trainee workplace culture emerging anyway.
Just take online courses. They're just as good, if not better, than anything you'll take in college.
I never understood why STEM is pushed so hard.
The only STEM jobs worth getting are only obtainable if you went to a T1 university.
I went to GT for computer science and managed an internship at my freshman year. Wound up switching my major to Biology instead.
If you aren't top 5 you might as well kill yourself.
>>33164307
Step 1: Buy many Bitcoins in 2011.
step 2: lose everything when the bank defaults with no obligation to pay you back

It depends on what you want to do with it. If you want to actually work for a paper for the rest of your life then Journalism can pay the bills. You aren't going to be rich but you won't live on the streets.

>>33164419
Eh. Play it to your advantage, even with a "useless" degree you can make contacts and worm your way in somewhere. Especially in finance and business.
Find someone on linkedin you think is relevant? Give them a call (send an email first), just tell them you're interested in the industry and want to learn a bit more. Ask them if they've got time for a coffee and at the end ask them if they know anyone else that would be worth speaking to. It works wonders.

>people who get philosophy degrees have higher IQ's
Well I could have told you that, you don't really need a spreadsheet.
Although this spreadsheet is a little disingenuous. Just because a degree has a high number of intelligent people applying for it doesn't make it 'employable'. That said the majority of people I know with philosophy degrees went on to become lawyers.
>>33163234
It has an employment rate > 90% and it's stable with the years. This means that you can be almost sure to get a job unless you are a lazy fuck who spends 10 years in finishing the degree.
I have to add that most of the research is not statal, but private. Don't hesitate to sell your soul to devil Repsol if they pay well enough.

Top kek no. Most of the people who hire trai ners are people who are retarded when it comes to the weightroom, they also probably want to get "toned for summer".Also, people hire trainers as a way to make themselves accountable to actually SHOW up to the gym.
As long as people remain retarded about fitness, there will always be a demand for trainers.

Simply not true. I know lawyers who went straight law school and I know lawyers who went through the paralegal and then law school route.
Both are fairly insistent that the vast majority of what they do on a daily basis was learned while working as a trainee lawyer or paralegal.
Medicine is different of course, and nobody would deny that there should be formalized paths to learn it.

Your brother is exaggerating I say the exact same thing about my job as a cardiologist but if you look at it he probably spent shitloads of years studying his ass off to get to where he is and that knowledge is probably helping him make logical decisions in his job, then again I have no knowledge on what a investment banker job entails from day to day so I could be talking absolute shit.
>>33167120
Should specify, ABS = Asset Backed Securities, not the name of a bank. There are also all kinds of people working in investment banks, from english lit grads to engineers - It basically works like this: If you're good enough to take the cognitive tests the bank does for prospective graduates, and perform well at interview, you get taken on as a trainee.
Don't believe this nonsense about how X degree is a ticket to unemployment. As another anon said, if you're actually smart, good at networking and charismatic to some degree, you can get a decent job eventually.

>In order for this his claim to be 'simply not true' you need to find an instance where a person has become a successful lawyer without going to law school.
No I don't, I simply need to provide examples of people who say they don't apply what they learned at law school on a daily basis in any meaningful manner.
Do you even understand how law works, you silly spergmeister?

>Yes but the Trainee lawyer and Paralegal period are important, the guy said that any job so somebody can just jump into being a lawyer and learn on the spot which isn't true.
Not sure what your point is here, I'm essentially saying that a lot of tertiary education, particularly for finance and law, is largely redundant. The fact that trainee lawyers and paralegals are important is totally unrelated to this assertion. The point is that you could learn all of what's required through trainee programs and paralegal positions to actually get started working on a case as part of a team.
>Your brother is exaggerating
Not really, investment banking is 90% anticipation, risk and communication. I work in a similar position in commercial shipping.
>>33167236
Yes, extremely funny.
I give y'all niggas two useful pieces of information:
1. University (or college for the canailles) ALWAYS pays off in the end. You will be in debt yes, you will spend a few years with shit tier income while your HS/ trade school friends already make 20k per year and feel like millionaires while mocking you. But once you are finished you will easily catch up with these fags in 5 years max. In the long run, even if you pick the most ridiculous of degrees, you will get money. Plus you either get a good life or become a corporate drone. Either way is better than the pleb-life. Trust me. Been there, done that.
2. In my humble opinion, unless you are a high functioning asspie, pick a major where you have both the artes liberales AND STEM elements combined. Sorry for the lack of examples now, but think stuff like geography, man-machine-interfaces etc. If you are just a normal dude with slightly above average intelligence, you will want to have skills as broad as possible. As Arthur C. Clarke already said, specialization is for insects.

Have a look at his claim, have a look at your attempted refutation, and see how the two don't match up.
Thanks for calling me a 'spergmeister' based on nothing, by the way.
>>33167722
My claim has consistently been that large portions of tertiary education are redundant and that they do not teach you esoteric skills you're going to apply on a day to day basis unless you're talking about something like medicine or engineering.

Stop that now you're just embarrassing yourself, I don't care for your friends, the Law school serves an important part in building the foundation for the trainee lawyer.
>The point is that you could learn all of what's required through trainee programs and paralegal positions to actually get started working on a case as part of a team.
That's not the same as being a lawyer from the get go are you following this conversation or what ? Do you want me to greentext the entire conversation?
In the trainee period or paralegal one you're getting handheld where do you get the idea that they will give you Law 101 the moment you become a trainee, they expect you to have the theory from Law school drilled into your head so you can keep up with what is happening.

I never said this. People aren't "lawyers from get go" even after they complete law school. They're trainees.

Are you suggesting legal theory is hard to learn?
The vast majority of law school is not legal theory, it's a massive ingestion and then regurgitation of case law around finals time. Legal theory was the smallest part of our legal studies.

And those Case law regurgitation are serving as a basis and gateway to the trainee job it all fits together similar to a domino.

Its in the tier above the others, anon. When things go to shit here and engineers are sucking dick to get low level construction jobs, you can always go somewhere else and teach the language we're speaking right now, or another language entirely.
There's always jobs in someone's society, and if you speak their language, then you're employable. If you can teach this language and speak their language, then you're in demand. People are always wanting to learn another language, English especially.

I'm 2 years into law school myself, and I find it perfectly decent. I have a clerk job lined up for after I graduate, and I actually enjoy the work.
Plus, in law there's a lot of room for advancement. It has a very nice salary curve such that you'll be rolling in money by the time you're 45-50. I have literally never met a middle-aged lawyer who is not wealthy.

No, seriously I build mathematical models of language. Like using vector spaces and tensors to model how the meanings of words combine in a sentence. The form of these models is related to the theories of philosophers like Wittgenstein or Russell about how semantics works. To actually test the models you have to apply them to something and this requires turning it into a program of some sort. I end up using python a lot, but I also use C, C++, Java, R, and other stuff. Once you have a working program you need to apply it to some actual data, which is often news text from the Wall Street Journal, and you then have to prove the result are relevant to how people actually use language, which needs some sort of psychological experiment, like fMRI, EEG, priming, or something.
