Post the biggest meme degree that you know someone fell for
I'll start: philosophy
>I fell for the meme degree meme
Sociology. Friend is a career student. That was his latest degree and tries to mentally analyze people when he's drunk now. I hate that son of a bitch but he gets really, really good cocaine.
My university had a "Innovation Degree."
If you wanted to do Tech degree you had to take some of those classes. So many fedoras who had no idea about anything.
Protip: You can't teach innovation
>>70694593
Also philosophy, but the guy acknowledges it's stupid and just wants to live with his parents watching anime forever.
Very sad.
>>70694593
Comp sci.
Once one smartass CS guy codes an AI capable of writing itself, you're all useless.
Then again, so are we all I suppose. Onwards to a utopia where wagecucking is no longer a thing.
>>70694593
criminal justice/criminology
Communications
My brother's roommate was a "creative writing" major, an odd choice since the guy was in a remedial English class and was barely literate. He smoked a shitload of weed and had this idea that he was going to "tell the stories of his adventures," what adventures he meant I'm not sure, he was a 400lb fatass who spent every weekend in his dorm playing video games. Usually I saw him when I came to pick up my little bro for shit. I think my favorite memory of him was when his parents came to his dorm to take all of his vidya systems (he had like all of them) because he had shit grades after first semester, then as soon as they left he went out and bought all new ones. $1000 flushed because this fucker wanted to try to pull one over on his parents.
I have a chance to earn another in a different field and I'm really trying to figure out whether I should go towards IP law, Medical, or Engineering (EE or Mech). What will /pol/ suggest? Draw back to medicine is that your job becomes your life and it's at least 8 years rather than 3-4.
>>70694593
Perhaps now it's a meme degree since you can get all philosophy books/lectures online for free/low cost and have discussion online for free. That makes it somewhat pointless to pay for a degree from a non-prestigious uni.
Philosophy is a better field of study than the angsty, superior, "objective value", robot STEMfags would have you believe though - it did invent the academy and science in the first place.
nearly everything is a meme degree.
>>70695358
Engineering (EE) imo
>>70695471
This. Philosophy has become a meme degree because of all the post modernist bullshit.
I usually tell my students to get a double major, Philosophy + something to pay the bills. The motto being: one for the dole, one for the soul.
Computer Science.
Oh wait, I make bank, have one of the coziest jobs in the world, and will never be unemployed. Nevermind.
>>70695520
This. Any degree can be stupid and worthless if you don't work at it
>>70695729
just wait.. pajeet is on his way
>>70694593
i have a minor in philosophy because i find it interesting
>>70694593
I have a friend who majored in philosophy and went to law school and now makes 200k. Although for 99% of philosophy majors your salary will be shit, I agree.
CompSci and the Arts.
I don't know anyone who fell for the philosophy or sociology meme
the compsci dude though got memed on hard, he still whines about no job
>>70695714
Yeah, I think EE is most likely the best path. If I want to continue down the medical path I can just get a masters in Biomed.
>>70695080
You disproved your own point lol. I'm CS and our biggest fear is not super smart AI it's hordes of poo in loos who work for a fifth of what we wake.
>>70694593
video game design
Thankfully, not me
Psychology
Poli-sci
>>70696196
Oh that degree too, it got so bad the dude started to transition into a tranny halfway through the course.
>>70695080
Such an AI would take an extremely massive team who are all knowledgeable about an ISA that allows its program memory to be written to, so I won't hold my breath.
>>70694957
I did philosophy but it was just for shits and giggles as I hope to be self employed
Is economics a meme degree thinking of switching to that possibly political science not really sure.
Business management.
I know 3 people who went for this degree. None of them graduated college.
>>70696053
Most of the comp sci people who went into it for the salary meme never even graduated unless they went to an easy as shit clown college.
And no CS isn't the hardest major out there but if you're a chadbro who would normally have majored in history or business you'll probably fail.
>>70694593

Bust your ass night by night, sacrifice your humanity. You say it's for a lofty goal. Sure you'll say you'll intern for a year or two at a small firm for free. But then you quickly learn that you're just another dime a dozen lawyer. You're not getting partnership any time soon. Okay you say, maybe I'll get some connections in Wall Street. Hah, fat fuckin chance bud.
Public Defender? Fuckin' kidding me? You deal with the scum of society on a daily basis, and you know most of them are guilty as shit. No matter what the fuck you say to them, if you're "lucky enough" to earn the position as PD, your clients don't listen and just RUN THEIR FUCKIN' MOUTH, and basically do the DA's job for them.
Oh, and good luck paying your student loans. Expected time of full repayment: The 12th of Never.

The most autistic major ever. The entire classroom would probably be Chris Chan clones.
My wife's friend paid $40,000 per year for an bachelors art degree in "textile design".
She now sits at home buying printed skirts, and stitching them into shirts or pants instead, and trying to sell them on etsy.

sir did you get a JD
jesus this post is just a TAD BIT cynical
>>70696552
I wish they would lead to nonacdemic jobs I love history but don't want to teach and would like to get money for my services.
>>70695176
Meh, speak for yourself. I studied public relations and I got a 6 months internship and now hold a 55k job straight outta university.
If you're not in finance then you're a cuckold
>>70696552
History is like English, only useful if you have the right connections. In fact the degree itself is only useful in helping you forge those connections. In that respect it's not really any different than most college degrees these days.
>>70695729
You honestly shouldn't be so arrogant. I thought the same thing, then my company pulled the rug out from underneath us one summer and lots of people were laid off.
From that point on, I realized how fragile all of our jobs actually are. You should always prepare for the worst and be ready if you ever do get laid off.
Alright guys.
If all of these, even JD are memes.

>>70696715
You don't. That's why there's an entire new class of people who will be paying off the INTEREST of their debt until the day they die.
>>70696525
I was so close to following the JD path until the year before I graduated university uni. Yeah it must great telling people that you are attending law school, but being a lawyer struggling to find work is a whole different ball game. You can make a great living in tax or IP but there's a good chance we're looking at a bubble, especially IP.
Business Majors are the modern day Liberal Arts

Give philosophy majors shit all you want, they're actually pretty successful. It's a good major to choose if you want to go into law school because it teaches you to think critically. But let me guess: you're one of those stupid fucking STEM majors who never got laid in high school and can't write a sentence to save his life.
And as a Canadian: motherfucking native studies. What job is that going to get you?
>>70696798
>picked economics for a degree
FUCK
Is there anything that's not a meme degree?
>>70696641
Both fields are great if you aspire to study a form of law, but oh man the legal market is in bad shape right now. The 08 crash essentially gutted the field.
>>70694593
Philosophy doesn't get you a job unless you teach but it's something worth studying, unlike most other jobless degrees.
>>70694593
Is linguistics a meme degree?
I'm scared, /pol/.
What you guys don't realize is that it's not about your major anymore. It's about where you go to school. An Ivy League English major will probably get a better job than a state school engineer.

Some of us are autistic and the only thing we bring to the table is being good at math and shit. Not everyone is a fucking normalfag who can make it in business.
>>70697157
This, and the fact that the degree only gives you a foundation and your foot in the door. Once you're there, the rest is going to be on you. If you're not good, you'll be found out quickly.
>>70696976
College is for making connections with people. Take internships, meet with professionals in the field, they will actually take time out of their day to meet with you if you show a real interest in what they do. You have these opportunities while in school, if you don't use them you're wasting your money and your time.

Philosophy isnt a meme degree. Its a good stepping stone for law school.
Its not like liberal arts.
>>70697092
That's the problem I'm running into. Plus all the "linguist" jobs for the government/military/etc. are normally better suited to people who majored in a language or two, all translation and little to no analysis.
I'm lucky enough to be at a uni that doesn't do the Chomskyan shit, though, and it's good critical thinking practice. They teach it like an actual science here which is pretty rare.
Probably going to minor in statistics or CS and try for data analysis jobs.
>>70694593
Computer Science
Honestly, if you don't program as a hobby or "dream in code" as they say, don't even bother with this degree. You will either work with Poo in Loos or nu-males if you do get a job as a developer.
>>70697266
70k sounds really nice right now anon
I also wanted to mention English Literature.
I took this dumbshit class called Critical Theory. I thought we were going to learn how to critique writing, styles, themes, and discuss literary works.
Instead we were trained to find things like "latent racism" or "inherent sexism" or "socioeconomic struggles especially involving African-Americans" in Shakespeare and Hemmingway. It was at this point that I discovered where all this tumblrina bullshit originated from.

Majoring in a language will net you some very cozy jobs even if you don't have any connections. Translators and interpreters are always needed, having knowledge in another field is also a bonus. I studied history, literature, psychology, and linguistics at various points of my academic career and what I make money off of know is my ability to speak Japanese.

STEM are the biggest meme ever.
If you're a STEM major doing great in a top school then you will do utterly well in life, better than most other majors from all schools.
For the other 99%, it's the open door to a life filled with "I can do calculus so I'm better than you" self justification.

The game is to be sold not told, but look for something that is widely used and safe from the looming automation revolution.
If I knew what I knew back when I was high I would have went straight into EE or Mech E. Don't study Biomed as an undergrad it will not net you a job out of college and it is basically the premed major. The job market is in very bad shape right now. You NEED experience. Everyone likes to consul themselves by saying education > experience, but they're wrong the guy with experience will get the job.

im a communications major, which should I go for Public Relations or Advertising? I suck dick at math though.
Changing economic circumstances have eviscerated middle class jobs for young people. You're either rich or poor and mostly poor.
I go to a top 20 law school. Maybe 20% of the class will graduate making $160k+ starting at big firm jobs. Everyone else will be lucky to start at $55-60k.
Music
I know someone who majored in it and is now a sanders supporter
>>70697091
This dude's generally right.
Most degrees aren't about what you learn content-wise at the undergrad level.* It's more about learning how to process data, how to learn things, and how to handle workload - in the context of hopefully learning something about the world.
Come out showing you can research stuff, write well, think analytically and solve problems while being a team player, and the corporate world awaits.
*Obviously if you're doing something more technical like engineering the content of your degree matters, im talking more about the liberal arts.

Anything you can do an engineer can do 10 times better and with half the resources. With an engineering degree, you can do so much more than engineering. I know some girl who got a bachelors in Industrial and now works for an engineering firm doing basically what a business major would do. The best part is she was chosen because engineers actually have to work for their degree unlike 95% of other majors.

>>70697491
wew that is quite roguish, you will probably fit right in
I fell for the school and work meme altogether
Other exams, assignments and work forced me to take an exam on the last day of its availability. Little did I know that the testing center closed early on Fridays which isn't like the other campuses and I showed up at closing time expecting it to be open another 4 hours.
Talked to my professor and she's more than likely to just give me a zero which will keep me from getting an A in the class and will force me to retake it. I'll be wasting hundreds of dollars to get an A in a class I was already going to get an A in because of a simple fuckup.
>Went to school for music

If I had to do it all over again, I'd go to a jc for the first two years for sure. Get my basics. Make sure I had my major in mind. then loan out for the last two years. Make sure you are looking at what you agree to when paying tuition though. Its a lot better if you don't live in over priced dorms, pay for a meal plan, and get a sporting pass (as per my college).
You'll still be in a little bit of debt after you graduate, but it shouldn't be too outrageous and if you chose a good major you'll be taking care of it in no time. Also look for scholarships. There are more than you think.
Also fucking banned for protecting myself from an evil dogger.

Economics is relatively based for the service industry.
>quant skills
>data analytics
>strong sense of arranging problems and quantifying them, using models
>decent mix of writing skills, research and presentation if you did the work
Those things will make you in-demand for almost anything corporate. Finance? They always need numbers-minded people. Consulting? All their shit is quantifying problems with models and presenting results. Law? You should have reading/writing technical language in the bag, and that'll set you up well. Policy and govt? IMF/WB/Fed all hire undergrads for analyst positions, as do most of the Departments.
You're not getting hired for your knowledge of undergraduate economic theory typically - if you want to actually do "economics" in that sense, get a PhD or maybe a MSc. However, the skills that come with it are worth the cost of the degree easily.

It would not destroy the entire industry but a big chunk. Once they figure out how to get around efficiency our days are numbered. I remember years ago DB managers who ran sql scripts for their clients who had your line of thinking. Then software came out where any user could make these scripts and report in plain English. The scripts weren't efficient but who gave a fuck, it eliminated a 6 figure salary.

Why do you want to be a lawyer?
>>70694593
>the biggest meme degree
:(
>>70698929
Yeah I do! The people are chill and our clients are not assholes. On the plus side, there's tons of chicks working in this field.
>>70699025
To help people.
>>70698760
Yeah. Philosophy and the "intellectual" arts are great for law school. But the legal market has been bad since 08 and is just getting more saturated by younger lawyers and those that already have a significant amount of experience. Being a law student/young lawyer today is one of the most stressful positions I could ever imagine.
>>70694593
You go into philosophy because you want to know more about it. That is quite literally what philosophy means, too. It's a quest for knowledge.
If you go into philosophy trying to make money, you may as well shoot yourself.
Accounting
Finance
Law
Philosophy
Psychology
Really anything that isn't engineering, medicine, physics or STEM related is a meme degree.
>>70694593
I fell for the medicine meme. It's a great job and i'll eventually earn good money...But.
>Dont start working until 27
>no good money until 30
>0 respect from 95% of patients
>Full of dicks
The effort I put in at uni I could have easily been in investment banking killing it now
That said, its better than most other jobs in satisfaction and income, but I could be earning more.
I have a poly sci degree and not even a good one that involves statistics and quantitative/qualitative research methods

An infinity of poos in loos with an infinite amount of time will still be shit next to real cs
>>70699112
I can attest to that. One of my good friends had a 4.1 GPA, got a prestigious intership that guaranteed him a job at a very respected firm. Said he didn't want to pursue this after 2 years and left everything to go in Med school.

I am doing 3d graphic shit as a hobby and was considering doing something like that professionally so I looked into that.
There are some very expensive private schools/courses that only take in a few people and they do some incredibly cool shit in very specific fields.
And you got public universities having degress like "game design" where you learn a bit of everything, have no idea what you do though and afterwards you get an entry level job at a shitty moblie/browser game company that you could get just as well if you would have just practised some 3d software + photoshop at home for 1 year

I have no regrets.
STEM is useless if you don't apply it to an actual career
CS doesn't actually require a degree and if you get one you're probably a fag who can't actually code or program with the big boys. It's actually like music really
Engineering is turning into law. Expensive, long hours and overrated. It's just very competitive. It could be a lot worse though. Also, you won't survive these careers without a personality.
Liberal arts degrees are not bad, they've been ruined by big departments. Creative writing should be one of the smallest and most elite degrees on any college campus. Unfortunately, any fuckwad who can use spellcheck can get in.
High schools and colleges need to work with employers more. Even four year degrees should have a trade like feel. You should be spending your senior year training on the job.
GE is a fucking waste of money and time.
>>70699205
>Dont start working until 27
I realize this feels like shit but remember not everyone starts college at 18 and graduates young.
>>70697555
I have a sister that took that. She has done shit all with it and has been teaching English in Asian countries for the past 5+ years
>>70699205
That said you have all the nurse pussy you want even if you're average looking.
>>70698933
haha. this was my second question. whether it's a flexible field in terms of branching out into consulting for maybe politicians and the like
>>70699057
that's good to hear. this will be my first "real" job. thanks man!

>mfw I met a nice jewish girl
Kill yourself, race traitor.

Pretty much this. Unless you plan on being an academic or using it to get into grad school for something other else, you're pretty much boned.

>friend went into philosophy
>graduated and told me he's going to travel the world for a decade (on his dad's money) before thinking about finding a job
You all fell for the being born without a $10m+ inheritance meme.
>>70699130
This also applies to English degree; except you want specific knowledge about the tradition so you can either teach it or write with the best.
Most people, however, have naive dreams about being "rockstar writers" at chic magazines or popular novelists.
Studies in liberal arts should be taken seriously and it should be a holistic approach instead of specialization( I remember a graduate student at my old college who was studying 17th century English cookbooks).
>>70699366
That's true, and i've done it, and turned down way more than I've had. There are huge issues with dicking nurses. They're super catty and chat heaps. You can only really sleep with 2 per ward, and you get a name for it fast.
It's like the forbidden fruit that hangs at knee height.

And your friend is one of creme de la crop. Imagine being a student that struggled to get a 3.7 and would be stuck going to a T2/T3 school. You'd be busting your ass forever either being chronically underemployed or trying to find work. Man there were times I regretted not going to law school, but it was really the best choice I could have made. Not to mention the extremely politically correct climate and petty politics, I just don't think I have the patience after busting my ass off in the "arts." I'm just fortunate to have the chance for a career change.

ill cream UR crop you little penis gypsy
>>70699437
meh. you're basically a first responder with limited knowledge and capabilities. Plus as you said, you're at nurse level which is pretty low.
Along with that, you'll still need to forego 4 years of income to peruse a medical degree, and if your flag is correct, you'll need to take out a $250k loan to study medicine, IF you can get in.
I'm second year out now and this financial year i've earned $80k (with another $15k in employer paid superannuation) and only have $30k in debts.Next year I'll be on $100k base, realistically becoming $140.
>yfw you're a nurse wiping soldiers bums, dying for the corporate jew
>>70697747
If you get a business degree get a concentration in finance or accounting. Or just get an accountinf or finance degree. Works for 1-2 years while earnjng your MBA.

>what is the GI bill

AND i get paid while i go to school
Try being useful in life
Art and design degree. I'm good at it and get away with it. I had pussy every day in college and got to know a lot of rich hipsters who buy my work, decided to quit after two years. People go to art school to learn how to do art (which is retarded) and waste 200k just to be the laughed at.
>>70695352
That's not a useless degree, just a useless student.
>>70695172
my friend did that and instantly got a job in the police making 60k a year and government benefits. Criminology is actually a practical degree path in law enforcement and puts you above others for detective consideration.
>>70699799
>>70699830
Lel, you still need to get into medicine, which according to my seppo mates is bloody hard in the states.
If they're paying for your study I assume you're bonded to the army for a return of service following your degree.
>>70699707
You can make good money in shorts and securities trading if you have the experience.
>>70699716
This. The CS and Engineering niggers laughed at me for my Business degree. They are still searching for jobs while I was hired before I graduated.
>>70696196
Yeah, I know a guy not only doing this but planning a fucking MASTERS in it afterwards. I blame his parents desu, his life is gonna be so fucked.
Though I fell for the STEM meme myself tbqh
>>70699932
youd be surprised, i got accepted into this program with a god tier asvab score, all f's on my transcript and an pass-advanced GED score
>>70697785
It sounds like you know nothing about how college degrees work.
Getting a philosophy degree doesn't mean you're going to do philosophy as your job. Getting a degree in math doesn't mean you'll do research mathematics.

Actually, I'm a Ph.D. student in Computer Engineering.
Econfag here, it seems pretty saturated desu senpai. Trying to go to grad school, but just got rejections from my top two favored schools and am waiting for about 7 more. Fucking depressing. For now I'm just a car salesman.
>>70694593
STEM
Encouraged by government with the sole intent of making machines to kill people. Entry level is shit. Work security is even worse. Take my word on this one, soon the market will be flooded with drones building drones.
>>70700271
you do know the cia doesn't ever look at the applicants right? they go to harvard and yale and shit and follow people they're interested in, usually people distant from their families or people with military families, and basically make contact in a way that fills the target with excitement and badassery that leads them to usually accept the job
tldr if you didnt get a 4.6 or higher in high school the cia doesnt give one salty fuck about you
>>70696953
Everyone has to study that shit. It's called general education. Nobody has to make it their major.
>>70700429
>anon with military/govt agent family
>>70700379
It is oversaturated. It's similar to law in that respect.
G-guys, I'm majoring in Accounting. Did I fall for the business meme?
>>70700379
What are your GRE scores/GPA/course background?
>>70700009
What you're doing isn't medicine, incredibly far from it.
>>70696674
Agreed. If you can't get set up at a university with good connections and a good masters program, you're shit outta luck.
>>70700395
I always wondered why the government pushed this field so hard.
I got a friend who majored in e-business. We had party for him when he graduated and when I asked him what he was going to do now, he just just said 'I don't know'. Today he's a waiter and his boss is my other friend who started school at the same time but dropped out his first year.
>>70700481

I majored in philosophy and minored in business.
Three months out of college I got my first job as a database administrator.
The degree had nothing to do with my job because it's all about networking.
I got to study something I liked and still did better than all the actual business majors.
>>70695172
Nigga what? You can do pretty much anything with a criminal justice degree. My University classifies it as a social science. I had to take many overlap classes with social work majors, chemistry majors, psychology majors and more. It's such a broad field that it encompasses a lot of stuff. On top of that they offered internship options to be an aid (read bitch boy) for many state politicians and recently they've opened up applications to be involved in DC during the elections being an aid for many federal workers. Shit's cash and even at a Masters level, the work is extremely easy.

328 GRE, 3.0 GPA, and took the most difficult and strenuous courses with the hardest profs which subsequently fucked my GPA. I learned a fuckton, but I feel like I'm going to get beat out by the pricks who took the piss easy profs and courses yet learned almost nothing. Seriously, the lack of standardization in courses pisses me the fuck off. For my game theory we had to learn the epistemics up and down meanwhile the other prof wouldn't even get into it. The average for my class was a C, yet for the other prof it was an A. I've got boss recommendations though.
Fucking ridiculous. I speak 2 languages and am learning two more as well, plus I have AAs in two other fields. Scared shitless it still won't be enough and I'm going to be stuck where I am for a year til I can apply again, but at least my work environment is really nice.
