And don’t do marketing, you’ll hate your life.

We’ll probably always need electricians and there are some decent 2-year programs you can do.

Cybersecurity, highest in demand

f*** that's actually my passion

why

^
At least this is how it is in my country.
They're the highest paid degrees.
But like people already mentioned, if you have other interests then don't go this route just for the green. I did it and eventually changed course, was a good experience tho.
Social, Education and Health Jobs will also be in upcoming demand in the future due to automatization, question is 'tho if companies and public services will raise the salarys (which they actually should imo).

A computer science degree will give you the best return on investment.

levels.fyi

Engi

Eh, some of my fellow Bio kids just sitting 😖

blue collar jobs will never fade away and the youth are being funneled into college so there is a need for new talent.

f*** a degree, a union job>>>

i meant to ask why marketing is not good

why not marketing

With nursing you get a pay upgrade like every 1-2 years with each degree.

CNA - $13/HR (4 weeks of school)
LPN - $20/HR (1 year)
ADN - $25--35/HR (associates degree 2 years)
BSN - $35 - 40/HR (bachelor's degree 4 years)
MSN - $40 - 50/HR (master's degree 6 years)
CRNA - $60-70/HR (doctorate 8 years)

man f*** going to school past a bachelors lol, especially a doctorate

im out after 4 years

Lol

Highly depends on school, ranking, region, etc

A Harvard History major has a better shot at working at Goldman Sachs than a finance major from North Dakota State

Computer Science majors outside of big tech hubs are typically depressed programmers or it tech

Engineering is good in the south, tech hubs, cities but you will hit a ceiling in terms of salary. Oil and Gas engineering is good, but you will work in the middle of nowhere unless it's at a big O&G firmp

Accounting is great for job security, but unless you have Big 4 experience, you won't get far as fast

Finance majors are only good at top ranked schools with Investment Banking or Consulting recruiting

Marketing Majors typically become account managers for a sales company making 50-70K for their entire career unless they reach a management position

MBA is a waste of money if it's not ranked within the top 25, 30 is pushing it

Most masters degrees are wastes of time and money unless it's required for the job

From a pure future perspective - STEM will always be a great skillset, but that doesn't mean every STEM major is making a lot of money. The job market is very tough and competitive for high paying jobs

?

security and cloud are where it's at in technology right now

only problem with security is it's hard to get into.

It's true but this also means majority of these blue collared jobs give you barely any time outside of work. I know a professor who told me how happy he was to transition out of that once your not as young anymore and it becomes more demanding

plus tuition is cheap...at least in florida it is.

financial aid is going to cover like my first 4 years. no student loans. free grant money

would you really want to quit at $35 an hour? 4 more years and you'd be making $130k for the rest of your life. why not finish it out

i guess im just not in the nursing mindset

people in cs typically dont do their masters or phd unless its for fun, they want to do management, they want to go into a specialized field or they want to teach.

fortunately its pretty simple to move up in the tech field without further education. just experience and connections

If you really want to it’d probably be fine. But from my experience it’s just the most mundane research, and then desperately stretching the truth to get people to buy something based on that research. And it’s super transparent.

There may be marketing jobs out there that are honest and fun, but I haven’t experienced any. I’m in graphic design so ive had to work with marketing firms and go to marketing meetings and it can be pretty pathetic sometimes.
