OP your image is shit because it's not based on logic and in fact contradicts it.
Furthermore, you've not done any studying on these topics, because if you had, you would have learned at least half of graduates in those majors end up doing more harm to society than good, it's just a matter of record.

Finally, it's always irrational to just make a declaration without saying there is any sort of reason behind the record.

So this thread is shit, you're all fucking morons, and college has become a cesspool of uneducated faggots indoctrinated into remaining blind towards the damage and time wasted by themselves and their colleagues.

You're all dickbags and contribute to nothing but echo chambers.

Get off your ass and do some good, you jackasses. Sacrifice your job and you reputation for the good of mankind and violate all the retarded boundaries that are set up to keep things stagnant and controlled so that old crazy psychopaths can drain the system.

Just do something already.

Yeah but why does it matter? You know how much dick you have to suck be a Goldman Sachs employee?

A doctor will get job literally 100% of the time. So will a math major because general math jobs are as common as dirt, regardless of how good they are.

If you are not Harvard graduate #1 with a 7.0 GPA and with rich parents who also work there, then you will never get that job as an economy major.

I know many of you, and I know that most of you end up in random companies doing the trivial work, earning as much as a dancer.

If you say that having a few high paying jobs makes the degree amazing then fuck it, there is a mathematician billionaire which implies that all math majors will be billionaires entrepreneurs and shit.

Maybe hidden everywhere else. Any field of engineering applies math so it could probably be scattered all over the place.

>>8047602
Yup

I realize that, but I am very interested in what people have to say about employability of the field. Thing is, I had a pretty rough period where I worked at a Safeway for 3 weeks, then a bookstore for a few months. I was perfectly happy working at the bookstore, but if I ever have to work at a Safeway again I might kill myself

Applied math is just bad pure mathematics, or pure math for retards.

Applied math gets the same jobs as pure maths but pure math will always be considered to be superior so I guess applied math would be around good tier.

Yes I'm saying that I am better than you.

>>8047603
There is a degree named applied math, try and look it up.

>>
>>8047612

good luck with topology in your life
>>
>>8047612
you're saying it very naively. At my university math was kinda meh, and applied math was considered possibly the most difficult major available - the only thing that competed with it was engineering physics
>>
>>8047615
exactly what I was thinking and thanks for answer.
>>
>>8047617
Any pure mathematician who goes for a PhD will be doing topology on a daily basis.

For those who do not make it then I will tell you the (not) surprising fact that half of the classes you take in any major will never serve you in whatever job you end up doing because there is no job that has one person doing so many disconnected bullshit.

A degree is a theoretical base so that the degree holder can expand and work ideally wherever he wants, doing something that will 50% of the time be related to what they actually student.

Let me illustrate. At my job I use 7 out of 48 classes. I could stretch it to like 11 out of 48 but then I feel like I'd be lying to you.

However, pure mathematics is thought of as harder than applied math and therefore employers and HR people who read on major politics (all of them... that is their job) will consider the guy who graduated from the toughest education to be superior... unless there is some other important factor.

>>8047618
I refuse to believe this. All you need is compare the two curriculums to realize that applied math is retard tier. It is literally engineering for dummies.
>>
I'm personally more impressed with pure math than applied math, because when I hear you study pure math I have images of Stephen Hawking and Alan Turing spinning around in my head. So yeah, you'll get more respect from me. But I'm not going to pay you. You know who is going to pay you? That planner or developper who needs you to apply the math you know. Trying to live off of academic grants is harder than you think it is.
>>
>>8047633

I agree on everything except pure math being better than applied.

I think applied math is better than pure math because at my country if you look at the curriculum applied math is 2 years of knowledge ahead of pure math because they don't use time on theoritical topics which aren't necessary to apply math.

I have spoken with professionals who recommends applied math if you want something in the industry and still want to focus on math.
>>
>>8047635
This is what I thought.

also applied math gives great opportunities in finance (conmans trade)
>>
>>8047674
>they don't use time on theoritical topics which aren't necessary to apply math.

Then you have literally no fun.

So pretty much pure math was a have fun degree that then left you with actual job opportunities, unlike other have fun degrees. Then to make the applied math curriculum you took pure math and removed all the fun from it.

That sounds like it sucks. 0/10
>>
>>8047689
So you say you don't like probablility/stats, de, computation, biology, physics and a good job?
>>
>>8047709
bachelor in applied takes you further than a candidate in pure math.
>>
>>8047709
But we do probability, statistics, programming and physics.

We don't do biology though, why the fucking fuck?

Anyways, the first two years of this were literally definitions, axioms and theorems every day. Then the rest was the stuff you mentioned mixed in with the usual analysis, topology, etc.

All I can say is that entire semesters of proving intuitively obvious but HARD AS FUCK to rigorously explain geometry theorems was 10/10 the best math experience I had as a student.

>>8047685
>also applied math gives great opportunities in finance (conmans trade)

So does pure math, I mean, that is one of the main job sectors after the usual teaching and programming.
>>
>>8047721
the reason why applied use bio and phys is to use what has been learned through the degree and use it in a more meaningful matter and to strengten the knowledge to something ACTUALLY applied, this is why theses are the lasts courses before the thesis.

Nigga you don't understand, the level of these tpocis in math are higher than those in pure math (except stats).

I'm thinking of majoring in Chemistry because I really enjoy it, and would be willing to go for a PhD or postgrad med school. I realise this is a bad place to get life advice but /sci/ is usually pretty accurate when judging worth of degrees.

>>
>>8052026
I think Chem jobs are primarily in the industrial or biomed areas.
I think there's plenty of room, but from the people I've met in the area [My friend Jerry in Chicago, for instance] is that climbing the ladder is especially difficult and companies in the chem sector downsize all the time due to companies merging and being acquired.

note that international business is one of the most profitable degrees you can get nowadays. Also, while architecture is obviously a cool field, it now ranks terribly for jobs - there will be very little growth in the field

> anthropology as okay
Why is anthropology ranked as okay? I really wanna know this, because I love anthropology, but I always avoided getting a degree in it because I'd heard it was a useless degree. If I can make money in it, especially in archeology, cultural anthropology, or forensic anthropology, I'll switch immediately

> sound tech
I'm not sure this is actually a necessary degree, because a lot of the coolest sound tech positions are essentially apprentice positions

> marketing and international relations as bad
this doesn't line up with rankings. These are two of the most valuable degrees you can get, especially at the master's level

> food, political science, humanities, and theology as shit
These also don't line up with rankings. By "food", if you mean nutrition you're wrong - it's very valuable. If you mean family/consumer science then you're right, it's shit.
Political science is a degree that's useless as a bachelor's, but is one of the most valuable master's you can get.
I don't know how, but humanities and theology both have high earnings for graduates. Maybe because humanities majors have a tendency to go into law. Don't know why theology majors earn so much, but by every ranking I've ever seen they make bank

It's not damaging to my ego. I've actually taken a number of philosophy courses and my degree isn't in a STEM subject. But the idea that studying philosophy is required to have morality is absurd and stupid. Heidegger was a nazi. Sartre was a huge supporter of Stalin. The zen establishment supported Japanese imperialism in WW2.
Einstein and Turing were both deeply ethical individuals, and they didn't give a damn about humanities, much less philosophy.

Morality is innate in everyone except sociopaths.

During the fascist era most German and Japanese scholars quickly fell in line with the party. The idea that the humanities elevate you morally is laughable when you consider that the Nazi leadership was filled with artists, playwrites, and writers.
Radical Islam isn't based on tradition as much as it is on modern academics and philosophers. Sayyid Qutb was a philosopher who went to college at Colorado State University about a century ago - he's the one who promoted the idea that you could kill people who weren't true musilms, and is literally the basis for modern Jihadism.

oh, you're one of these people

Yeah, yeah, I'm a shitter.

Which BS though to pass the time? I'm thinking phys, since the chem almost seems redundant in my program.

They can't really grasp a concept without a visual explanation.

Mfw i realise that the degrees take progressively more time to attain as you go up the list.

Mfw when i realise this shit is just spouted by people who dragged themselves through long, difficult degrees to justify their life choices.

Mfw respectability is a subjective measurement that might be able to fit on a continuum but cannot actually be divided into tiers.

Mfw in the bad tier so no one will listen to me because of a stupid made up poster. I think this chart should know intelligence, because i know some people in the higher tiers who are shit people in general. I do not respect them, but i do appreciate what they do.

I don't understand people bragging about their salaries. I knew people who went to pharma with their enzymology/protein engineering degrees and getting huge salaries. But the work is fucking boring. It's a merit of sorts to be able to do boring repetitive shit, which I don't have. But still, there is nothing about it to brag.
>>
>>8046983
Someone could make a criterion defining how boring the job is and try to correlate it with the salary. I'm pretty much sure there would be some sort of correlation.

BTW, don't tell me you are doing CMC, that the most boring shit one can imagine.

Glad to see Immunology getting respect in one of these bait threads a least. Biology should be moved down to okay tier though.

good post

>tfw went from electrical engineering to music and never looked back
No regrets. Electrical engineering is fucking soul-crushing. It's so fucking boring, good God. I still like physics, but damn.

physics and mathematics are sadly no safe job guarantees anymore in germany, at least.

>nursing in good tier
do you actually study nursing in america, as in a higher education institution like university? it's just an apprenticeship over here.
>>
What about Biochemistry though?
>>
>>8053218
living in the streets is even more soul crushing, good luck bud.

That goes for many professions in other countries. They don't have a dual eduction system (Duales Ausbildungssystem.)

Some of this is accurate, but this entire list seems to be centered around becoming an efficient drone in someone's hive - dutifully rewarded with your pittance, and not on the societal value of a discipline.

Linguistics - Bad Tier? Understanding the way the human mind learns and processes language has no value to society?

History - Bad Tier? Where would Archaeology fit into this equation? Or Paleontology? What of other disciplines whose focus is on knowing ourselves and, possibly, our future by uncovering and preserving our knowledge of the past?

Information Technology - Okay Tier? So I guess, quantum computing and cyber security have a "meh" impact on the world as well, not an ever increasing level of importance to business, national, and personal security.

Aside from the job market in Germany, physics and mathematic are ubiquitous fields granting you useful knowledge to wherever you must apply it.

>>8052377
AstroPHYSICS..?
>>
>>8053280
Info tech is def broad enough to where higher end IT is good ajd some is still just okay tier. Quantum computing is a CS thing is it not?
>>
>>8052377
Many of the machines being built are for studying space, you lout. LISA, LIGO, Hubble, James Webb, etc.,...

Not to mention, the information gleaned studying the cosmos relates to all other branches of physics, and even other sciences, as these laws are UNIVERSAL and the universe is an INTEGRATED SYSTEM.

You're like the shit-tier academics who believe gender is a purely societal construct.
>>
>>8053508
You're probably right about QC. I when I listed it I was thinking more along the lines of Information Theory and the birth of CS, than your average IT department guy.
>>
Where does an MS in operations research rank?
>>
>>8052653
They explain why kids naturally help others?
>>
>>8053508
QC research is split between physicists and cs guys.

Truth be told they could probably still do it without the cs guys.
>>
What does God tier + good tier get me?
>>
OP here.

The chart was created with your average mother-in-law in mind. How would your in-laws typically react to your major, etc.

Totally subjective, flawed, and a waste of time, yes, but I'm a med student, so idgaf
>>
>>8053775
American in-laws seem to be quite smart. My mother still thinks I'm studying medicine (or something like pharmacy). I'm actually a biochemist (now bit more of a biophysicist). Many people of my parents generation wouldn't have any clue of the meaning of these two words in my country.

Where exactly would mech eng fall into

>>8046
So anthro is in the okay tier? then wtf do people shit on it so much
>>
>>8053775
Then neither physics nor pure math would show up anywhere near the top.
> I'm studying mathematics
>> oh you want to teach?

Anthro in the okay teir? Then why do people say it's a useless degree
