Let's make an updated college major tier list, 2017 edition.

Note: This is the old one from like 2013

>Astronomy god tier
>Business and Economics low tier

I shiggydig

kek

>Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy, Engineering god tier

lol no

reading comprehension is hard

I have chemistry, physics, biology, statistics and law.
Guess what my study is.

>censoring shit

haha how's women's studies going?

I didn't make the image lol

you picked the shit version tho

I was doing physics and switched to neuroscience.

My ex-girlfriend has an advertising degree. Two years post-graduation she's making $80,000 per year and has almost finished an MBA from the University of Michigan.

I'm graduating quite late and won't be taking classes again for another half year. I checked my university degree requirements and I wouldn't have to do too much extra for an advertising degree. Kind of tempted to just go for that. I no longer have any interest in working in a lab or getting Le Science PhD.

True. I just picked the first one on Google images my bad

No major is shit if you are sufficiently good at it or go to a good enough school.

Ranking majors by average or median results is only relevant for people who aim to be average, or couldn't get into a good school.

But reddit told me that if you aren't in STEM you're worthless...

Geo major here. All my professors say Geo doesn't git gud unless you do your graduate. Also, what's up with mathematics as far as job prospects outside of teaching and academia?

Physics and astronomy are only good for fedora nerds. There is no career options in them but academics.

okay i'll make it easier for you fags.
Its forensics chemistry

Chemical engineer. Double God Tier?

Sorry I couldn't read it because you posted a faggoty fucking thumbnail

You're worthless regardless what you do

why isn't compsci god tier? not a rhetorical question btw can someone explain why some think it's shit or mid. Thanks

>putting philosophy on any tier even close to womens studies

kys faggot

>feminist studies or any social studies for that matter

feels good man when im an ee major

How is philosophy shit tier? It's the second most accepted major in law school, right behind mathematics

Is it from an earnings potential, or from an intellectual effort needed?

its usually thought to be mid to shit tier by people too stupid to do it.

considering it has one of the highest and fastest, if not the highest, expected job growth and rising average pay on the market right now, i wouldn't call it anything but high/god-tier

what job are you looking for bud?
window licker?

tggi

Idk I think its god tier and I'm highly considering going into it

>Assuming I made the list
Kys

Yeah. I gave into the meme. Most of my friends are in medical school or have STEM degrees are spending time in the Peace Corps. My buddy in med school studies 15 hours per day and has no life. That's what I originally thought I wanted to do, but I don't think I could handle it any more. I want to be able to travel and have some flexibility.

Think I'm probably just going to switch to advertising from neuroscience. I helped me ex with her MBA coursework and advertising assignments, and I actually enjoy the material. While I don't want to work in an office 9-5, I also don't want to work in a lab, either.

Being able to freelance or have my own little business would be amazing.

>thinking philosophy is worth anything at all

take a look at this fag

Salaries are public disclosure where I am. Some of the gender studies profs make well over 100k. My school's "sexual diversity officer" makes 140k.

Plenty of socialists make even more.

Not the average outcome, I'll admit, but to think it's automatically useless is just failure of imagination, or buying into a meme.

Wtf is tggi

Cause it's a cringey sausage-fest.

Sociologists*, not socialists, lol

All these non-educational positions are why college costs have been going up 10% a year for two decades now. (Combined with easy loans to pay for it.)

>thinks being cringy is a reason to not do a well paying high value job
btw fireman or astronaut aren't viable jobs so stop being 9 years old for 5 minutes and use logic

I'm studiyng medicine and I really, really, really wane to kill myself

*sigh* I don't know when people will get over this "philosophy is useless thing" it's never been true.

See pic related. Higher median mid-career salary than Chem, Marketing, Geology, Accounting, IT, Management, Bio, etc.

Funny thing is, it's always STEM people making these claims, yet they refuse to look at actual data.

Mdfag here
I really want to kill myself, there aren't any career more overrated

No, he picked the s■■■ version.

>implying

Who said it was a reason not to do it?

I was giving a reason why it wasn't considered high-tier. Your lack of critical thinking skills don't surprise me.

Part of what makes things higher tier is respect / prestige / perception. It's not just about money. Nobody is ever going to respect comp sci majors in the same way they do doctors or lawyers or CEO or other highy paying jobs, because (rightly or wrongly) everyone just thinks of them as fat greasy losers coding in a basement somewhere.

>2013
no, it's much older than that...

Yeah I take that back. I'm positive its older than 2k13 lol

Is this solely bachelor degrees?

>sexual diversity officer
>$140k salary
jesus, your school could shave a couple hundred bucks off everyone's tuition if this fucker got fired

i get what you mean but i don't think anyone's gonna talk shit when you're getting fuckloads more money than them and if you arent a grease-bag cave-dweller then no one is going to assume that
its not like a mlp loving doctor is going to get no shit ever from people it depends on your personality and if you're talking about statistics fair enough but its not a reason its shit maybe co worker wise then yeah but other than that it depends on you.

Just fucking read it.

so rock stars are shit tier?

you necky looserz

>Got my BBA from an average school.
>Spent a year after graduating thinking it was a complete waste.
>Decided to join a smaller public company and work my way up.
>My degree made no difference so I spent another two years seeing it as a waste.
>Last year I received three promotions in the span of two months
>This year I should finish at $105,000 and my stock options start vesting in April
>College definitely seems worth it now

Your degree is worthless if you don't have a great work ethic. I've been working 70 hour work weeks for the last 5 years to get where I am right now.

Yeah, seems like a waste, but whatever. If it makes some people more comfortable, and stops them protesting, I don't really care.

>with only a bachelor's degree
if you bothered to read, faggot

Astrology should be beyond God like tier

A&P License as top tier.

Why is it always the people who when to shit schools who think their anecdote is a universal law?

Some top jobs (law, consulting, etc.) care about the name on your degree. They just straight up wouldn't hire people from an "average school" no matter how hard they worked, because they have to impress clients by saying that the people at their firm have ivy league education.

Hard work can get you far, but I'm willing to bet a majority of a time a lazy fuck from Harvard or Princeton will do better than the hardest working student from Billy Bob University.

Business. God tier. BECAUSE EVERYTHING. IS. FUCKING. BUSINESS.

You're showing the critical thinking skills of most business majors.

idk, i have gripes with a lot of the extra services that universities offer. obviously some shit like dorms, dining halls, and security are needed, but I don't really understand why we shit money away on sports, recreation, and a bunch of other shit that's not related to academics. that's money that could've gone to research grants or scholarships, or could've simply not been collected

Are you ESL? Or do you just have the language skills of most basement dwelling comp sci majors who have never spoken to another human?

>Hard work can get you far, but I'm willing to bet a majority of a time a lazy fuck from Harvard or Princeton will do better than the hardest working student from Billy Bob University.
this, better to work smart than to work hard

I agree generally. Universities spend money on sports because they tend to be profitable. Some of the other stuff is excessive, but it's usually build to attract students.

>music
>shit tier

This trigger me

What is the difference between :
A software engineer
A computer scientist
An IT guy
I'm not american and it seems to be the same thing for me...
Thanks !
Got a degree in electrical engineering and automatics and a master degree in software engineering. Gets me interesting projects :)

> Mid Tier
> Computer Science

Shitpost detected

How long have you been in the workforce? For most positions, the name of the school you went to will only carry you for the first five or so years of your career. After that, your experience and skills matters more to an employer.

Well, since cs => maths...

>tfw pursuing econ BS
I probably shouldn't be asking Sup Forums for life advice, but, how fucked am I?

Fucking wow are you legally retarded? Please don't breed.

>Thinks Ivy League schools graduate lazy fucks
>Doesn't comprehend how prestigious universities keep their reputations

You must be legally retarded for assuming I made that image

most of the university sport teams don't actually break even

I think he was alluding to nepotism more than anything. That's the fucking cancer practice that plagues upper management

How does that in any way invalidate my point?

You first said your degree is worthless, now you're saying its only valuable for half a decade.

You know what takes a lot of hard work? Getting into, and successfully graduating from a top university.

>Doesn't understand the nature of a hypothetical
I know they generally don't - see my response above.

Currently studying digital innovation, we learn a lot of buzzwords which I tried putting on a job application and now I'm due for final interview in January

Huh

sad but true, most of the decent jobs are filled and most of the available jobs pay worse than full-time at walmart.
if you want a guaranteed job with music, get into elementary music education and don't suck ass at it

hope you had a decent gpa/internship somewhere

What were those buzzwords user?

Did you actually fucking censor the word 'shit'.

digital inovation are buzzwords :D

Two god tier majors, super glad i didn't go for a third, as i would still be there...
>Chemistry and physics

I said the name of the school will carry you for a limited time. People often forget that they go to school to learn, not just scrape by to get a piece of paper.

You made the comment about lazy fucks graduating from Harvard and now you claim it's hard work, completely invalidating your final point on the first comment.

My original point is still valid. Even ,if you have an Ivy League degree, so do about 300 million people. What do you think separates those people at their own level? Also, take some time to look at the most successful people in the world and tell me what schools they graduated from.

Agile processes, internet of things, disruption, drive, acceleration and so forth.

actually, it's Snigger* tier

sorry for not giving a shit about putting commas.

Redact that, the total is actually 564,000 ivy league graduates

Not just upper management though, that shit happens at the lowest levels too

Kek basic buzzwords then

This is the only correct response.

lol i am in cs and it is a greasy cringe fest but fuck me dead the jobs and pay are dumb ass retarded

It'd be impossible to list every major on a single chart. Only comment for OP image is to move law down to at least Mid due to saturation.

Couldnt find my major risk management. Fuck off , im making 27 dollars an hour as an intern, thats at least mid tier for my age.

Oh master of buzz words, what are some advanced ones then?

Jesus, do you really not understand the nature of a hypothetical? I'm isolating a variable to make a point. If you don't understand how that isn't contradictory, then you're an idiot, or being willfully blind. It would be like me taking your bullshit "300 million Ivy league degrees" claim literally.

First off, half a decade is a pretty damn long time to establish yourself and build the work ethic you need. Id much rather be able to get in to one of those top firms I mentioned and develop the skills along the way, than work just as hard later, but be excluded because I didn't work hard enough to get into a good school.

The fact that some successful people don't have ivy league degrees doesn't mean much. Most Ivy league grads are successful, and a huge portion of people in the top of their fields have top-tier educations.

The idea that a top-tier degree is useless without hard work is just bullshit. This doesn't mean hard work is useless - it's just very often less useful than an ivy league degree. Go look at data if you want. I assure you an ivy league degree correlates 100x higher with income than does "hard work".

Forensics chemistry

physics major, guess im god tier thanks op

I actually agree with this list, gg OP

i have a god tier math degree. im unemployed and just applied for welfare. please kill me.

math is shit without applying it in one of the other fields. getting a math degree basically means you have to double major
