We all know /pol/ is in love with the STEM meme but what are some /pol/ approved non-STEM Majors?
History? Education? Juris Doctor? Psychology? ect.
Business.
To combat the jew, you go gotta outjew the jew.
>>69459842
sociology
>>69460665
Business is a meme
Finance and accounting is where its at. Never even see it discussed and it gives you a wide range of god tier white collar jobs.
inb4 automation will delete demand for accountants next year
BS in Journalism. I work for a daily print pub ;) shilling for the jews amirite
>>69459842
Journalism.
All the news we read comes from somewhere, doesn't it?
>>69461209
Me too buddy! I'm working as a copywriter however.
No shilling here, just for businesses.
I want to break into journalism.
Tips?

hasn't blogging effectively replaced journalism the same way photoshop has with graphic design?
>>69462222
Checked
Currently doing engineering, but will most likely switch to religious studies and philosophy. Plan is to go out and preach the word of God to all the people out their, just as God commanded

I don't need a degree I'm radiant from the streets a real hustle nigga.
>>69459842
I'm starting "Commerce & Marketing" this September.
It's basically "How to be a Good Jew and Sell Shit to the Goyim by Using Illuminaty Mind Tricks and Filthy Lying Ads"
My other option was "International Economics" which is "Jewish Studies Overload", and I just hate studying any math that isnt basic logic.
C&M is good for me because it's not just dry math over and over but you can use your creativity and some psycohology also to get money from the go- I mean from our kind customers :^)
>>69459842
Also, only anti-social autistic faggots went to STEM majors from my high school.
They were coincidentally the same people who mostly talked about video games throughout the 5 years of HS
>>69462398
no problem with that at all. i admire people that do go into arts with an earnest and real interest in their field as well as the ambition to make a vocation of it. it's the other 75% of people in arts who don't belong there and are in it only because they felt compelled to attend university for the sake of it.
If you are not competing against billion Indians and Chinese, your degree is trash.
political science. hopefully law soon though.
Philosophy and Economics double major
>mfw finance career as a generalist
>>69461209
>BS
did you have to take a lot of calculus, chemistry, and physics, to get that bachelor of science in fucking journalism?
I dropped going for an EE degree to go for Finances instead. Did I do good /pol/?
>>69459842
I think I'm going to be adding a business major to my history major soon.
>>69459842
I think medicine technically isn't under the STEM umbrella, as it's specifically Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery over here rather than Bachelor of Science.
>tfw physics degree
>tfw literally un-unemployable
How people are told it works:
>Get good degree
>Get good job
How it really works:
>Be smart
>Get difficult degree
>Combine quality degree with your other assets in order to offer value to the world somehow
>Generate income or profit or whatever with this combination
also
>Be dumb
>Get difficult degree by just coasting through and not really doing much else
>Wonder why you're having a hard time
then people wonder how some people with BAs are getting employed
>be smart
>get a BA
>make it work for you, end up in management or something else, largely self-taught, etc.
too many people think they just get a degree like some kind of punch card that magically entitles them to a career.
It's really not your (our) fault--I blame the fucking stupid government school systems and counsellors for lying to us
>>69462222
I-it's an i-important and v-valuable s-skill to society, anon.
>>69460665
Unpossible. Don't even try. Just get a nice engineering degree and be a good wage slave.
Nutrition & Dietetics. Gotta fight the Dietary Guidelines for Americans Jew.
Political Science and Public Administration.

Who /accounting/ here?
who /logistics/ here?
>>69459842
>History
I've got a friend who's taking history as his bachelor's, but he's going to law school because realistically he knows there's nothing you can do with a history degree.
>Education
Do you even need a bachelors in education to teach? Pretty sure you have to go to teacher's college anyway, right?
>Juris Doctor
Already mentioned, this is a good one
>Psychology
AHAHAHA
So pretty much just business & law, I'd say.
>>69459842
Im a Nurse practitioner, pretty much a doctor. I get paid by the Puerto Rican government to literally give poor kids anti diarrhea meds. Life's good.
>>69459842
The medical field, you fucking retarded autist.
You get paid more money, your job is a lot more rewarding, and youre a lot more respected
>>69460813
>Finance and accounting
Yeah then you may as may be an insurance Statistician. It pays well but is menial as fuck.
>>69464200
This is 100% correct.
I literally don't care in the slightest what you go to school for as long as you're willing to own up to any debt you accrue.
>>69461209
How's the job market looking for journalism right now? Is there a lot of upward mobility? Good salary? I'm about to come out with a bachelor's in journalism.
>tfw Pol Sci degree
>tfw get to witness first hand how we are all getting cucked
I wish I hadn't swallowed the red pill
>>69463903
> pure science
> in the UK
mate mate mate, what have you done
Theres like 10 good degrees and 10 good unis in this country. Do not under any circumstance go for anything else
Economics
Law
Accounting and Finance
Medicine
Computer Science at a top tier uni
Engineering at a top tier uni, preferably chemeng
mayyyybe PPE at Oxbridge
Graduate programs for banks and large companies dont give a fuck what you have or where you got it. So if you want to be a morrisons manager you might as well do psychology for 3 years at leeds trinity
>>69464584
You're forgetting the medical field, which generates probably the most money on average outside Law
>>69459842
Chinese and environmental science here. If you are a white guy that has reasonable Chinese language skills you should be in good shape getting a job overseas.
>>69464982
No such thing as PPE at Cambridge, you working class cuck
>>69459842
Social Sciences ARE STEM dumbass. And what about double-majors in social and natural sciences who live in both worlds?
Geology is one of the Liberal Arts. Go shit yourself somewhere else.
law?
no, the market never recovered after the 2007/2008 layoff bloodbath and economic downturn, and it looks like it will further contract
here are some dirty little trends they won't tell you about the american legal market right now
>competing with outsourcing and insourcing (yes, it exists in law too--the ABA is now approving foreign law schools for actual american J.D.s, which allows poo in loos and chinks to come over here, even though the admissions and curriculum standards in those schools are vastly inferior)
>competing with automation and growing number of DIY products (this one is debatable, because lay people tend to fuck things up and later need an actual lawyer to fix it)
and this not even considering the by now well-known fate of people who go to low-ranked and/or for-profit scam schools and end up saddled with debt they'll never pay off
the only real reason to go to law school these days is if your dad or uncle is a partner somewhere and you're sure you can get you hired--otherwise you're taking a big gamble
>>69461260
So that's how you train your shitposting skills
>>69465348

Just go to a good program in a good specialty.
A friend of mine has a Harvard LLM, he's making mad bank in NYC.
>>69464200
>I blame the fucking stupid government school systems and counsellors for lying to us
agree, schools themselves are fundamentally businesses and the 75% of the people enrolled that in all practicality have no business being there are just subsidizing the tuition for those that do.
>>69464297
you'll do fine, i believe in you anon-kun
>>69464584
>I've got a friend who's taking history as his bachelor's, but he's going to law school because realistically he knows there's nothing you can do with a history degree.
he's kind of right however in my opinion history is one of those degrees that makes a good foundation degree that can branch off into a lot tangential fields. many people i know with it are fairly well rounded- good critical thinkers, analyzers and communicators. it's especially good if you double major with it with something pragmatic
>Pretty sure you have to go to teacher's college anyway, right?
in ontario you are required to go to teacher's (indoctrination) college, in most places in the US you just need a bachelor's.
>Juris Doctor
>Already mentioned, this is a good one
depends where you live. in ontario we have a glut of these and freshly minted JD's are having a hard time. even if they graduate from a top school your life will be work and the remuneration not worth it, the competition is stiff.

I've got degrees in History, English Lit, and Education. Education was totally worthless; it's all about how to teach tards and how to maintain the state's idiotic standards.
History basically teaches you how to research shit. The whole "lol, namez n dates" crap that people say it's all about isn't true. It can actually teach some worthwhile things, plus you run into fewer liberal professors in the history department.
English Lit was my favorite. Read some shit, write some papers. There were some pretty kickass courses at my college. One of them was just about supernatural horror; we did Lovecraft, Dracula, Frankenstein, even some of the hardcore shit from the Bible. Totally worth it.
For the record, I work as an editor/ghostwriter (freelance), and make about $70K/year almost entirely from home (I do have to occasionally meet with clients or go to businesses to consult). Feels good, man.
>>69459842
I majored in Political Science.
God-tier for your actual college experience (fun classes, great senior level seminars, lots of free time) surprisingly not terrible (but far from great) for finding a job (at least in my experience).
With that said I would not recommend it to anyone unless they have a very clear idea of what they want to do with it (campaign work, police officer, army officer etc.).
>Juris Doctor
Shitty job market rn.
Most schools aren't worth even a fraction of what they're charging for tuition. I'm studying for the lsat rn (168 on my practice tests) and I'm basically not going unless I can get in for basically free at a lower 1st or 2nd tier school or get into on of my top picks (ideally UT Austin).
>Education
Both of my paternal grandparents, both parents and my little brother are teachers (Dad's a principal and I'm going to teach english in Korea for a year or two come June).
It'll give you a decent, respectable middle class lifestyle. The work life balance isn't phenomenal but it isn't terrible. Overall a very middle of the road profession.
As far as college majors go outside of early childhood education so far as I'm aware you can major in any number of subjects (english, history, math etc.) and then you get a teaching endorsement in addition to that so most teachers aren't majoring in "education" per se
>>69460665
>business major
>implying it's not just 101 level classes in multiple disciplines disguised as 300 level courses
my "intro to ethics" 101 class was 100x more in-depth than my "business ethics" 300 level class.
>>69459842
If you go to work and build your career up. It doesn't really matter what your degree is.
I'm Religious Studies, but I make 130K a year salary.
>>69461260
>>69461260
Apply to a fuck load of small, desperate papers and be prepared to get paid shit. >>69463405
No, I just went to a top ten j school. Highest math I took was college algebra kek. >>69464897
No idea man, I've been at my first paper for a year but I know it's rough at there. I'm thinking of switching over to freelance because the newsroom environment is starting to inhibit my alcoholism.
>>69466121
That's because there are no Business ethics.
>>69465599
>Harvard LLM
Harvard-Stanford-Yale are next level shit
There are a little 200 law schools in the U.S.
When people in schools ranked top 20 (or top 10%) aren't finding work then you know something's up.
>>69463903
If you are unemployable with a physics degree you are doing something wrong or you are applying for the wrong jobs. We have a ton of alumni who headed into business, consultancy, finance, etc. because of the strong analytical and mathematical background. If you are expecting a job in physics without being in the top percentage of the degree you're going to have a hard time since that field is so competitive.
>>69466037
I'm a Political Science major at UIUC. I graduate next spring. I started the program thinking that I would become a lawyer, but now I'm thinking fuck that. What kind of job did you end up with? I'm working on a congressional campaign with the directly candidate right now, but campaign work seems miserable for a career. I want something stable.
>>69463515
I've been thinking about that too
>>69459842
>ect.
maybe school isn't for you, pal
>>69459842
Gender studies. Because it matters.
>>69468634
Well... It's 2016, if you're not taking Gender Studies, what are you, sexist?
>>69468144
I worked in insurance for a while, decided it wasn't my thing. I'll be heading over to Korea come June to teach english for a year or two. After that I'll probably either go to law school (I'm taking the lsat in june) or an MPA/MPP program (I'm leaning more heavily towards the latter but if I can get into a decent law school I may take that route).
>>69465002
Totally thought medical counted as a science (biology/chem etc). I'd definitely include this as well.
>>69465950
I think knowing history is great too, he's been a history buff his whole life and my most interesting conversations out of all my friends are with him. At the same time, if you just have history and nothing else have fun teaching.
>>69468893
I'm on GI bill now and I will have 4 more years of it once I earn my bachelors. Since i have no debt, i honestly don't really care what i end up doing. I'm mostly just concerned with finding something that pays decently well and where i will have some opportunity. It does not really sound like you need a degree for insurance though.
Management minor here, it really is a bunch of entry level subjects put together. I will major in finance or accounting most likely
>>69462222
Not real news. Blogging is the bane of good journalism.
It really depends on what you want to do with the degree. If you just want to go down a rabbit hole and study your whole life, basically any of them are valid. That said, most people simply do not have the money to do this, and expecting the government to pay for it is unreasonable.
This idea that college is about vocation really has little historical value. That's a 20th century idea, really. If you're just going for vocation, take technology or engineering, because even straight chemistry or physics or math at a bachelors level won't necessarily land you a real job that can pay off those loans. College being required for valuable work is the real meme, not STEM master race.
If you have the money to keep doing this indefinitely, you could also become a historian or some other similar such academic. There's really nothing wrong with this, imo.
>>69469144
>It does not really sound like you need a degree for insurance though.
Insurance companies definitely look for it.
>I'm on GI bill now and I will have 4 more years of it once I earn my bachelors
Grats, I knew a few people like that in boxing club and it seemed like a pretty nice set up. I graduated highschool with my AA (dual enrollment) and had most of my last two years paid off with SS money saved up from my mom's passing so I was pretty much in the same position- no debt, just looking to major in something decent.
>>69459842
My degree in in linguistics. It doesn't really matter. It is from an old 'Russell group' university.
That's the British equivalent of Ivy league.
A degree in applied mathematics is just as useless, as are all degrees.
I then qualified as a plumber/electrician at a local college. I now have my own business, employ three people, earn good money and love my work.
Fitting showers, unblocking drains, connecting water supply - whatever. It's a great job.
I'm a single dad (wife died) and my daughter is seventeen. She's going to college to study construction and building.
Proper jobs. Not some fucking insurance broker shit or salesperson.
degrees are a turd. Practical skills are worth something.
