+TheRapper10000 I'm completely aware of these bullshit degrees. I refuse to concede that these students are somehow able to graduate college/university if they can't even research different kinds of colleges/universities and majors before making a decision that would affect their employability with the job market and economy. Also, yes, feminazis are completely evil who make shit up by falsely claiming of "fighting for equality" when they only want nothing but female superiority over males that would give females the abusing power to ruin males' lives easily such as falsely accusing them of sexual harassment. Thanks to this, society has now unfortunately created sexist double standards.
it does for me. It's how people take it. I need a good career to get my family in shape financially and that makes me happy knowing that we won't ration for food anymore. Happiness is constantly changing until a certain point and it depends on the person. It is subjective. Take it from me, I am quite unhappy that I can't get a good laptop for college which is starting 2 weeks from now rather than sulking sad about it, I kind of just think of the future and the things I will do with the money I get hopefully and that really keeps me motivated. Happiness is like your progress, satisfaction is the peak. Be grateful is the word.
well , we sadly live in a world where unless ur rich and your parents and banks can cushion your choice of a happy career most people can only hope for a well-paying career even if its not that enjoyable and sould compensate with doing the things they love as hobbies.. life sux so ...
You probably won't pick the best option the first go around. Lots of people end up going back to school later in life once they have a better idea. Myself included.
Olivia McNeil No, I went through the Texas education system. I was basically passed on through each grade. Basically, no teacher would teach me then after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder I was put in the special needs class ( which I didn't need to be in I just needed fucking help with math.). Basically, I got to skip taking standardized testing and graduated High School by doing an essay. Then, I went to cosmotology school actually did very well. But, ultimately let my licence expire, cause I switched career path and became an illustrator. Not saying i'm the worst at match I can do the basics, but all that other shit I can look at it and still go " Why is there letter's in here?". I'm 30 now. I basically do work that involves design or illustration since it's work I can do from home. I'm just saying all the jobs listed were all out of my reach due to lack of teachers giving a shit and me being passed up by each one, cause they didn't want to teach me and wanted to get rid of me. There you go a brief history of my experience in the Texas school system. It's still horrible.
Snow Anaya. I have somewhat the same problem, exept I was force to move to mexico at age twelve, their education system is awful, had a hard time in two subjects. Particularly math. My family were strict and demanding led me to cut myself, after six years I finally moved back to the United States, I still had problems with math yet manage to pass my GED, I'm also going to study for cosmetology.
I'm your mum off here firstly look into which jobs have the most employment rate, then check the salary, and then see if you’re happy doing this job and if it’s fun
I majored in stem because I don’t want people to think I’m stupid who can’t handle math or physics. When I was in my first semester in college and I saw calculus 1&2 I want to run away. However my parents and my friends support me and told me don’t be afraid and after 4 years I got my degree. Now I have a degree and job and so proud of my Stem degree.
To those of you who are bummed there aren't any humanities, social sciences, or art majors on the list, here's some info to help you out: ART Use your art skills to help companies market themselves. Some useful skills to supplement your fine art skills is to learn basic front-end programming and basic digital art skills. Web design is also a good subfield to pursue as web designers are more creative than web developers. Indie games are gaining a lot of popularity nowadays. A lot of indie gaming companies need artsy people as well as technical people. The art can be one of the biggest selling points of a game, so great artists are needed. Some advice: try to design environments and maps instead of characters. Many companies see portfolios full of characters, but not too many people show off any environment/world designs. HUMANITIES It can be pretty boring, but it pays pretty well. Typically, a technical writer creates content in either the computer field or the medical field. You pretty much write manuals and how-to-guides to help users understand the product. You don't need to have tech skills to be a technical writer, you just need to understand technology and how to communicate well. This one may go under art instead, but I'm thinking about journalism majors. Many news companies have a lot of writers, but are short on video/audio staff. Because social media has become so popular, journalists with experience editing audio and video are sought out more. SOCIAL SCIENCES Knowing another language makes you more marketable. If you are in a social science program, it would be wise to pick up a second language. For psychology majors, sign language is a good option. For history majors, chose a language of a culture you are interested in. If you are interested in human services, social work is a good starting point. The degree requires you to have on-site training/internships before you are awarded your degree. A BSW is good to get your foot in the door, but an MSW makes you more marketable. For those of you in BA/BS programs in psychology, or sociology, you can pursue an MSW after graduation as holding a BSW is not a requirement for MSW programs. This is a good option if you are not interested in a PhD program. Hope this helps! :)
@Mallory Huston Languages including Spanish are going to be MUCH better for you than something like art or 'theatrical studies'. Good luck and stay competent.
Isn´t that quite usual. The majors in some fields aren´t called potential taxi drivers for nothing. But don´t give up. When you´re lucky you will have a well paid job too. Agriculture isn´t mentioned aswell. I don´t know how things are over in the US but in my country it´s quite easy to find a good job.
Musical Steph don't talk like that it's actually a really good major to have on your cv and the arts is one of the few industry that has consistently good growth
I am also an art major. You have a very wide range of opportunities. You can become an artist, animator, photographer, editor, publisher, journalist, psychologists, advertiser, director, actor etc. Explore all the opportunities and do the things you love. You can make money in any field if you have the required talent
I'm in Australia and I want to major in Creative Writing because I love writing and it has many practical applications in the field, but for a virtually my whole life I've wanted to be an artist in the broad sense i.e. a writer, actress and fine artist. I know that I'll be able to make money by writing for companies, but I'll probably have little money if I try to be freelance like I always wanted to.
I feel you, I am on my 3rd year at uni, i study economics and I HATE IT! i don't wanna be an economist and I don't wanna pursue career in that field at all, when I was 18 I did not know what I wanted to do with my life and I just chose this major that everyone recommended and I got in one of the best universities in my country, I was really excited, but after few months I really hated every subject that I was studying. I wanted to change major but I was afraid that I would end up hating other major as well, next year, I may be moving to usa and I am thinking about going to college there, but I have no idea what I wanna study.
lika I am becoming a teacher now and it’s something I am passionate about despite the fact that everyone says the job is a bit shit. I just wanna do what my heart wants and if I have to go back to collage in 5 or 10 years so be it!
@@Camman6972 I'm happy for you, that's so cool! I have a question, is there any other way to get into us collage other than transferring from my uni? I won the green card lottery and next year i'm moving to the us, so I am just dropping out from my uni after this year. can i register to take SAT exams even though i am a foreigner?
lika It’s been a couple of years since I took my SAT but you should look up how you’re gonna take it on the area you’re moving to. Also contact the university you’re planning on going to in the US so you don’t lose all of your credits since a semester of American collage can cost like $30K but if you wait like a year you will become a resident of the state and the cost will go down a little bit. Idk how collage is like in your country but American collage is very expensive compared to other countries.
My sister’s friend wants to be an actuary, My cousin is a lawyer, and My stepmom has her Doctorate in nursing. For me my major is child Development I knew I won’t make a lot of money but I love it 😍. "And it has been said if you do what you love you will never work a day in your life.”😍💜
the only reason you have that privilege is that you are surrounded by money and you know some rich people who could help you out financially, like your cousin, step mom or sister´s friend
Amen to that I don't care if I just work as Staff Accountant making roughly $45K as long as I wake up every dawn and putting a big ol' smile and say ''Ahh it's going to be a good day!'
i was accounting major and now i'm a banker .... and i hate every decision i made in my life that brought me here .. it pays well i can't deny it but i hate everything else :D :D
I'm almost graduating ... majoring in banking n finance with specialism in risk management. Im Kinda excited to work. What to expect? I heard it's stressful
i'm sure you are going to be great because you seem to know what you want .... to me it's a completely different story my major was a thing and minor was a completely other thing and in leadership program i was all over the place because i didn't know what i wanted exactly .... honestly till now i'm not sure of what i'm good at or what i want that's why it's difficult to change career .... i graduated 2 years ago and been working in the credit loans sector in a bank for the last year and everyone around me is telling me this is amazing because i didn't do anything around credit in my studies and only took the credit exam before i enter the bank and somehow passed and they hired me and they say it's a great opportunity and i should be happy and my supervisor say i'm good at what i do but i can't see myself in it and also i don't know what they saw to in me, and if i resigned now where would i go ... i am the problem don't worry it's not the major :D
I'll tell you now; if you aren't a math/science person then this list is going to be a waste of your time. I'm a communications and media major and I didn't expect my major to be on this list.....and its not.
hey agnes, i will be graduating next year and i have been thinking to go to communications major, but from what i've seen.. people say it's a useless major because it's a basic thing people can do, i know it's not true since it is more than that, but can i hear your opinion as a comm's major student?
I tried computer science and failed calc and chemistry...now I'm doing computer information systems. Has all the same programming classes but none of that math. I would've loved to keep trying with calculus but it would've taken me more than four years to graduate, and my scholarship only pays for 4 years. Anyway, congratulations! I'm sure the journey was incredibly hard but well worth it :) Hoping I can still be a programmer with my degree.
You just got to network. Communications is a gateway, it's not a guarantee. Get an internship, volunteer in an area you're interested in, find out what you like and then figure out a way to apply what you've learned in Comm. to the things that you want to do. If you need more schooling in a focused area, whether it's graphic design, coding, or organizational behavior, find ways to do it. Keep your chin up and be persistent, and you'll be fine! You can do it!
As a communications major, it's a worthless degree but it helps for a future WalMart job. Yes, I have known many communications majors now working in retail, not as managers but as clerks. That's about what it is good for, unless you are lucky and know the right people. Luckily, I did know the right people and got a worthwhile minor (marketing) and I speak Spanish, otherwise I would be at Walmart like many communications majors.
I Started at community college and hated it, so I transferred to a technical college. No longer am I writing 10 page essays every week and I'm learning real world knowledge while using variety of tools to complete electrical projects. Best decision I've made so far.
@@jaylajohnson6882 no bachelor degree will give a starting pay of $90,000. However, I would rather join an apprenticeship for 5 years instead of going to 5 years of schooling since an apprenticeship will allow you to gain work experience and you gain better wages within those 5 years. Meanwhile, going to university for 4-6 years will cost you lots of money. ( the average student loan debt after graduation is $35,000) even if you manage to graduate with a degree, you will need to find a job within that field which can be very difficult and let me tell you, no degree will guarantee a job. With that said, please consider doing your research on this topic.
Not necessarily just learning basic arithmetic, algebra can help you in real life, like me I am an undergraduate in business focusing on accounting then finance after my AAS.
How hard is it to study and apply formulas? The answers as to how to apply those is right in the books. You have to STUDY and practice. That is what so many people are afraid of...hard work and commitment.
Depends what type of math. I'm very good at Geometry and some algebra concepts but other more complicated algebra concepts and anything precalculus (which im in now and struggling) or calculus for that matter is a no go. One major I'm considering when I do go to college is architecture, and to my knowledge the math required isn't extremely difficult unless I heard wrong.
I’m a speech therapy major, it’s pretty rare but I really enjoy it. After graduate school, I know I’m pretty much assured a job because the competition isn’t as crazy as some other careers. My aunt is a speech therapist and makes 100k working at a hospital. I want to work with children in schools, though. I’m super excited :)
Good career is all relative. A good career is what you make of it. Major in something that's wise financially, but doesn't want to make you slit your wrists every night and minor in what you love. Just don't be like me and study psychology. I wished to initially pursue a PhD, but now that I've graduated last week, I just don't see it worth the debt. Now, I see myself going to grad school for human resources.
I'm a pre-nursing student. I don't give two shits about money. My purpose is to heal the people, and actually make them feel safe and comfortable in the hospital. I want to go above and beyond, giving the best care possible. I'm so compassionate, not to mention, I LOOOVEEE science and medicine. We need REAL caring people, not just people in it for the money. If there are sick children, I want to bring little stuffed animals to give them for being awesome for getting through having to get a shot. It's gonna be more than just a job- it will be my passion and life. Nursing is NOT for everyone. You can kiss your 9-5 life goodbye. So if you're in it for all the wrong reasons, do everyone a favor and stop. It seems like many people take nursing, but only few really have what it takes.
Yesit'sJess my sentiment as well and you are right. Medical field is NOT for everyone expecially nursing as they are often the first person of contact for a patient and definitely constant through their stay. It saddens me when I here people talk about money or prestige when choosing a career in Health, it shouldn't matter, you are dealing with people's lives in your hands, being generously paid is just a bonus. A doctor that will not prescribed medication but try to delve in why you are in this situation, listen to you, empathize, advice, encourage, invest personal time in you, this has no prize. I place medics and teachers in the same bracket as they are thrusted with lives!
I completely agree! So many people say they want to be a nurse but have NO IDEA what being a nurse really means. I thought I wanted to be a nurse right after I graduated high school so I tried to get my foot in the door by getting some experience working with nurses & getting my CNA. I loved the medical side but I did not like the emotional scene. You have to be ok with patients crying and wanting to know if you care and their families wanting to know you care as well. You're dealing with 20+ patients a day. You definitely HAVE to be a caring person to be good at that job. I know I wouldn't want a nurse who doesn't care about my medical conditions taking care of me so I didn't want to be that nurse, especially on a bad day. Being a nurse goes beyond a stable career and a nice paycheck. I HIGHLY recommend anyone considering a nursing major become a CNA first or during their freshman year. It DEFINITELY helps when you graduate because employers will see that you have healthcare experience and that you are familiar with working with nurses as opposed to you working random jobs to get by during your college years. That will make them feel confident in hiring you.
No. If u are passionate and love the major you pick then go for it. You'll succeed because of your passion and love for what you do and is going to push yourself to be the best. Have a good day everyone:)
My dream and passion was to be a mjor in film and music but sadly life led me somewhere else like nursing which is not my dream more on for survival. Someday I wanna bring that film and music passion alive again.
A major in a Foreign Language is super valuable, any sort of international company needs translators/interpreters in order to do business. Publishers also need people to translate books/papers/etc. into other languages or to proof read what others have translated. With a major in a foreign language you could also be a teacher either in your current country or in a country that's native language is the one you studied. You could also work at universities, either as a professor or as someone who works with international students.
A graduated medical doctor here, getting in to medical school is hard, studying and graduating is hard, working as a doctor though? It's slowly killing me
I have graduated in Computer Science, but I never liked it..Now I am learning Motion Graphics and planning to have a master degree in Music..Don't know if I'm going to the right track..
Kara Cross biomedical isn't pre-med. And for the most part if you live in America there isn't a pre-med major. You can major in anything you want but you need to take the pre reqs. Trust me I'm in medical school.
in America most people who want to go into medicine major in a science field like biology, chemistry, psych, etc. with pre med interests which basically means they will be recommended to take a list of certain classes before taking the MCAT
Art is not a well paid job, but you can be happy without becoming a banker, a doctor, or a engineer. That is fact. If there is anyone still thinks that only money can bring you happy, I challenge them to rethink when they are sick or dying. Be in finance freedom, not rich. Stablize your need (place to stay, food to eat, transportation to go). Know when is enough
Good careers, working all day a soulless job that gives you no personal reward. But yeah, let's all agree that money is the most important thing in life
Meghan Malone same here, my minor is homeland security and honestly both are fun af youre practically guaranteed a job out of college granted you aren't stupid
I’m a criminal justice major too. I agree that it is probably one of the easier majors. However, sometimes it can get complicated depending on the topic and there is a lot to remember. Also, it’s the type of major that can be paired up with other subjects such as I.T., accounting, psychology, etc.
I grew up being an art enthusiast and the other side of myself was all about science. When i was a child i was very creative with my hands. I would be that kid that liked making ramps out of random items in my home for my hotwheel cars and id make huge forts in my home. I loved looking up diy science videos on youtube when it first came out and coming up with new ideas to create things i liked. When i was in elementary school i had a field trip to a nasa headquarters and immediately became interested in them and astronomy. But in school i wasnt excelling in mathematics. I failed all of them all the way up to highschool. So i decided to stay with art and persue a career in illustration or animation because i didnt have enough confidence to take up a stem major in college. But after highschool i couldnt help but feel like i was being call on to mathematics. Like i needed to learn it. I needed to learn the language of the universe. I felt like this is what i had to persue all along. And the fact that ive always questioned our universe and love creating stuff with my hands i was drawn to mech. Engineering. I gave myself a chance and decided to major in it. So far its my official first year in college and ive been passing all my math classes and discovered how beautiful and amazing math is. Its explains our universe in the most amazing way possible and the more i learn it and get better at it the cooler it gets. I know i may sound like a geek to some ignorant peoole but if it wasnt for mathematics idk where we'd be in the world today.
What is a “good career”?? Is there even an objective answer?? Self- satisfaction comes with how much you love your job. Teachers don’t have good careers? What about authors, actors, dancers, scientists, historians, etc, etc. So many career paths are good, it just depends on how much effort the person puts to advance his career and how much he loves and cares about it.
Tip number 11 go to a trade school. Learning a trade means you will probably be in good health with the physical labor you most likely will be doing. Also people pay like 35 an hour for welders. That just welders. My friend tells Mexicans where to lay pipes down. Gets paid 59 dollars an hour.
I majored in Philosophy at a top school and it’s served me very well. It would have been nice had the WatchMojo people put a little more effort into researching facts beyond starting salaries. Many humanities majors actually have great income payoff over the course of a career and won’t leave you with $250k of debt, like law or medical school will.
Hi Chiara! So I initially worked in HR for Target, actually, and soon realized that retail management was NOT for me. After that, I moved into a recruiting coordinator role at Uber in SF, and am trying to move into sourcing/full cycle recruiting next. If you're looking to go right into recruiting, it's much easier to break into it by working at a staffing agency as a recruiter. It's a serious hustle, but you can make good money. If you'd like to take another route, you can apply to be a recruiting coordinator. Based on your experience, I think you'd have no problem getting hired as an RC somewhere. Hope this helps :)
Youre right. My bro is a philosophy and pols. Sci major. People joke he wont get a job than me since im a bio major. Between and me. Who get more job? Who earns more money? Who is financially wealthy? Him!. The thing about careers is that its luck. And to him it happened to be philosophy that puts him to luck. Therefore college is actually a time to study something tou really enjoy and just earn up a degree.
Let me guess, no humanities degrees? Contrary to what you hear, a lot of companies now are hiring people who studied Classics, Literature, and Social Sciences, just to name a few. The so-called "soft skills" you learn in those disciplines are really in demand right now, employers want people who can analyze things and think creatively, and it's a shame people don't hear about that more.
Whether or not humanities majors can actually analyze in a meaningful way for the business world is beyond me to say, but as someone who interviews and hires people, I'd much rather have analysis come from a business major, accountant, economist, mathematician, statistician, science major, etc. rather than a history major or sociology major.
That's a valid point, but what I'm saying is that companies today want their employees to have a diverse range of skills and points of view, so they look for people who have backgrounds that aren't necessarily what you'd expect someone in the business world to have. For example, a lot of tech companies hire Art and English majors, because even though they need people who understand computers and such, they also understand that that is only one aspect of what they do - albeit the most important one - and that they need workers who are creative, and understand how to appeal to people outside the tech world.
But also as someone with that job, aren't there more factors to it than what you majored in? like resumes, internships, letters of recommendation, academic history etc. I think that factors like those should be taken in consideration besides majors as you can have a person that had a 4.0, great letters of rec, really good internships etc and be a history major then have a 3.3 GPA student with no internships who was a business major. Would you really hire that person just because they were a business major as opposed to the highly qualified person who was a history major? IMO I don't think the major really matters (unless they are very far off) just as long as that person is committed and motivated to do the job.
Sorry to tell you, but the reason they hire people with degrees like those is because they can offer you a lower starting salary as opposed to someone who holds a STEM degree. It's not about what's in demand, it's about the bottom line.
The thing is in the UK, unless you're in medicine, in the biochemistry field or specifically chemical/ petroleum engineering, your starting salary will be around 30 000 and your peak will be 50 000. When rent per year in London is around 30 000, you don't really have as many options.
Earth's Finest I just graduated high school and want to do that too but psych majors get you nowhere without a masters or sum. I guess I’ll just do business or engineering
My AS degree was in Computer Science but I went into more of the artistic side, web design. I make fair money though and love my job so I can't complain.
This is a good process for helping determine your college major. Begin by using the process of elimination. Look at a list of the majors. Mark off the majors you know 100% that you do not want to major in. Afterwards, you will have a much shorter list of options. When I did this, I only had one left and that is what I majored in.
My father wanted to become an architect and my mother was on her way to be a scientist in physics. Fast forward my little sister is becoming a computer scientist and I’m ......a writer 😐 what happened??
I mean as long as you're happy with it then its fine, and I would assume you are since you wouldn't become a writer if you didn't plan to be there in the first place.
These majors are great, but they are just that: majors. They are tools that hopefully will help you get well-paying jobs and job satisfaction. What this video failed to mention is that majors a sliver of the equation. Even if you have a highly sought after major, if you don’t use the knowledge you gained to get experience, you’ve just got a piece of paper. I can speak from experience of being in my field for over a decade. What I do at my job (web development), I have zero formal education for. My major was in journalism. But I had the passion and interest in the web to explore development on my own. What’s better is for you to learn some soft skills and the ability to market yourself. I know of many friends who has majors but aren’t using them at all. So it really comes down to you: how much you’re willing to learn and presevere, how much you can use your experience to foresight the possibilities, and getting some actual experience in what you’re good at. If you’re passionate about something, it’ll serve you well to continue the fight when life gets hard.
You don't need to do one of the things in the video to be successful, there are people who never went to college and are on the top of their career. It all depends on doing what you love, chasing curiosity and what success means to you
Software engineering / computer science majors have an enormous early-career advantage because it's easy to improve your programming skill via independent practice, and it's easy to prove your skill by writing some code. While the software industry is not a pure meritocracy (nothing is), the engineers with high potential are easy to recognize and they tend to reach their potential very early.
I would add here chemistry, biology and combination of those two. You will find a decend jobs as well. I graduated with BS in biochemistry and MS in Project Management, can’t complain.
These aren't necessarily true. In my city there are more nursing schools than anywhere else in the country so it's hard to find a job after graduation. And I know 3 people who passed the bar exam who 5+ years later can't find jobs as lawyers.
I'm kinda late here... But if anyone could help me out I'd be very grateful? 1) What are the main differences between Software Engineering and Computer Science? 2) Which is more lucrative Electrical Engineering or Computer Science/Software Engineering? Thanks!
Kabeer Well CS is dealing with theory and SE is more about implementation since its engineering. As for your second question they both seem like good choices so I guess it comes down to whatever you like most or what you’re most skilled in. Hope this helps
Right now I'm studying Economy but I want to change and study Translation, learning languages and translating are things I love doing, actually I do it for fun. After a semester of Economy I just came to the conclusion that it is not what I want to do for a living. I've seen my dad after work, he comes home tired and stressed, even though he has a well paid job it doesn't seem to make him happy, and I don't want the same for me in the future. Still, I'm afraid that I'm making one of the worst decisions in my life by changing my career :/
I study computer science in Peru rn and people think that i fix computers and that my career is not as hard or even close to any engineering and it does not appear in any top. This is the first top i have seen in which computer science is the first and i am kind of happy :D
Thats because he is good at it duh. I could acheive some of these cause I'm interested in them. But because of a poor country they arent interested in these things. U americans don't know what you have
Art and English majors should make a proper amount of money considering we're the ones who design their logos, animate their shows, edit their documents, give creative advice, teach their kids, etc. Art and English is everywhere in what everyone does and yet we don't always get to make nearly as much as an architect or lawyer or a consistent salary 😭
No. There are many art and design fields that are much more practical that just art. For example graphic design and industrial design. Most people who major in just art or english are just lazying through college, then wonder why they can't get a job. The people in these fields doing work that matters are making good money. Getting an art degree and then selling necklaces on etsy is not as important or deserving as someone who designs products for major corporations.
@@Daniel27125 what year r u in now? Im a freshman in college but don’t rly know what i wanna do exactly. I’m honestly thinking of just doing like finance or accounting cause I like math to a certain extent and I don’t rly like sciences in particular. Try picking a major that has your strengths and are somewhat interested in and see where you’ll go from there.
@@halogod5702 I'm a 4th year but I'm barely half way to graduating. I have been taking only my GE classes and have just finished them after this semester. So I will pick my major by the end of the semester and then will only have 2 more years left for my degree. I'm honestly was just going to do what you said. To pick something I'm most interested in and what will be the easiest for me.
My undergrad is communications, minor in marketing and I wish I had just gotten a marketing degree. I've always gotten more jobs because of marketing. Communications is junk, most of my classmates ended up returning to school. As it turned out I went for a masters in communications and instructional design and get more jobs in instructional design and am almost done with a masters in addictions counseling. There are many jobs in addictions counseling but the majority don't pay well so not sure if I will stay or return to marketing or instructional design.
3 years of calculus and hard work with almost guaranteed job security and a high salary, vs 3 years of easy subjects, with the consequence being living paycheck to paycheck for the rest of your life, never being able to pay off your student loans? I'm so glad I chose civil engineering as my major. I wasn't even that good at math to begin with, but I had to work hard at it.
@ Correct. I agree with you that futurewise, there will be a huge demand for computer/software engineers. Right now though, the highest demand in Norway is for civil engineers, mechanical engineers and electrical engineers. I know that in the US, civil engineers are sort of the low tier of engineers. There isn't as much demand for them, and they make less money. That's not the case in Norway, where civil engineers (byggingeniører) make even more than the other fields.
I feel you, I am on my 3rd year at uni, i study economics and I HATE IT! i don't wanna be an economist and I don't wanna pursue career in that field at all, when I was 18 I did not know what I wanted to do with my life and I just chose this major that everyone recommended and I got in one of the best universities in my country, I was really excited, but after few months I really hated every subject that I was studying. I wanted to change major but I was afraid that I would end up hating other major as well, next year, I may be moving to usa and I am thinking about going to college there, but I have no idea what I wanna study.
I believe marketing is the best major out there, cause you can control all of the others. People coming from any kind of major would want to find a figure who can promote their work . Moreover, marketing consultants earn much more than any major , depending on the number of client they can get of course.
Trying to major in visual journalism. If that doesn't work I'm thinking on changing it to Multidisciplinary studies which is a very broad major that students can take if none of the other majors offered fits the student's needs... I just really don't know what I want to do. Whatever I graduate with I'm thinking on going back to school as soon as (if and when 😒😅) I can get a job too study film /photography /video editing. I regret not exploring my school options very well after HS. Feels like I wasted a lot of time since. 😢.
Cycra Lisa ikr when I head about the horrible prices in the states it's insane. I'm from Canada and my whole 4 years for engineering Is less than 30k and and I'll pay it myself easily
@@esther3396 I wouldn't say that it has been easy to find a job because depending on where you live, there's not a whole lot of companies looking for Graphic Designers. You would have to look really hard to find jobs that would consider you with a handful of skills, mostly photoshop, illustrator, design ux etc. You might be able to find a good job where you can work from home due to Covid, or you can go the route I'm going for and start your own business and worrying about school later. I hope this helps ☺
My boyfriend’s major is computer science and he wants to be a programmer as well as go into real estate . He is trying to get his real estate license now and he also wants to start his own business . While I’m studying for the LSAT to get into law school . I plan on starting my own law firm in the future .
Just be good at maths! If you're going to do AP. Make sure to have enough maths, if you're interested. With maths to that point, you can't go wrong. 8 from the list need maths to get into a decent course.
A fine art degree wasn't here. It is surprising but a fine art degree is one of the few degrees that is attractive to almost all employers. Because it proves you an work as an individual and as part of a team, you are creative meaning that you have a creative mind set when it comes to problem solving. It proves that you are capable of writing large pieces of text that have been judged as up to pare, that you are capable at seeing a large projects through to completion and you are the kind of person who has skills in an area that most people admire. Like I said these are all things that most employers look for.
What kind of jobs would you be looking for? Yeah, critical thinking, teamwork and writing skills are extremely valuable, but most majors involve those. Unless you plan on using your degree towards a fine arts oriented job, you're probably going to be on par with most of humanities, business and science majors.
everything you just listed aren’t necessarily skills, rather attributes than a typical extrovert naturally displays. with that being said, a person with a civil engineering major can have these attributes, whereas a fine arts major won’t have the skills and knowledge needed. TL;DR attributes can be naturally attained by everybody, but skills and knowledge has to be gained through higher education. So even though you’re somewhat right that employers look for these skills, they’re going to look for somebody with a set of skills and knowledge that is useful
Edwin cheung first as some one who has been on both sides of the education proses believe me there not, creative thinking a specially you might be lucky enough to have it naturally but you still need to be tourt how to use it. Second I never said you can't pick up these skills in other areas just that fine art shows them well. Third what skills and knowledge don't you think fine art gives you also the arts are higher education as well. Fourth the skills tourt in fine art are useful they apply to a lot of different jobs if you want I can list them.
Sorry to tell you this, but there are good and bad careers/majors. If you go to collage for a degree in social work, go $120,000 in debt, get out and make $25,000 a year, it was a bad degree/career. If you go for software engineering, go $120,000 in debt, get out and make $90,000 a year, it was a good degree/career.
not all colleges will cost that much. there are plenty of cheaper schools that will not put you into $100,000 + in debt (for example a public university, even without any aid will not cost you over $100,000). it depends on your situation (as people get scholarships and financial aid or have the money to pay for it). also it's not all about the money, if you are doing a job that makes you happy and satisfied then I would say you do have a good career. it all depends on the person and their situation
Umm aerospace engineering? Idk about other schools but A&M has 97% of student that graduate find a job within a year after graduation and the average starting wage is $87,00 and goes up to $135,000 without a masters degree
what happened to Marketing, why is it just an honorable mention?.....Marketing is people clicking on this video for some reason. Shouldab'n number 1 or maybe 2!!!
Nursing is definitely a field to get into...but from what I am told people shun it because they get grossed out too easily when working with the infirmed, elderly, etc.

Any college major can lead to a successful career if you put forth the effort. It all depends on how you define success anyway.
Except liberal arts.

I'm completely aware of these bullshit degrees. I refuse to concede that these students are somehow able to graduate college/university if they can't even research different kinds of colleges/universities and majors before making a decision that would affect their employability with the job market and economy. Also, yes, feminazis are completely evil who make shit up by falsely claiming of "fighting for equality" when they only want nothing but female superiority over males that would give females the abusing power to ruin males' lives easily such as falsely accusing them of sexual harassment. Thanks to this, society has now unfortunately created sexist double standards.
She defines success in terms of wealth accumulation of course . A very sad point of view !

GOOD career doesn't equal HAPPY career/life.
Kbear2097 TRUTH right there
Sometimes it does
its true my teacher said always go for what makes you satisfied instead of ending up with a career your good at but you are miserable at the same time
it does for me. It's how people take it. I need a good career to get my family in shape financially and that makes me happy knowing that we won't ration for food anymore. Happiness is constantly changing until a certain point and it depends on the person. It is subjective. Take it from me, I am quite unhappy that I can't get a good laptop for college which is starting 2 weeks from now rather than sulking sad about it, I kind of just think of the future and the things I will do with the money I get hopefully and that really keeps me motivated. Happiness is like your progress, satisfaction is the peak. Be grateful is the word.
well , we sadly live in a world where unless ur rich and your parents and banks can cushion your choice of a happy career most people can only hope for a well-paying career even if its not that enjoyable and sould compensate with doing the things they love as hobbies.. life sux so ...
And after all that I still don't know what I want to study.
You probably won't pick the best option the first go around. Lots of people end up going back to school later in life once they have a better idea. Myself included.

Well, I suck at math and have severe anxiety so this list is not for me.
You and me both
Were (or are) you homeschooled?
Olivia McNeil No, I went through the Texas education system. I was basically passed on through each grade. Basically, no teacher would teach me then after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder I was put in the special needs class ( which I didn't need to be in I just needed fucking help with math.). Basically, I got to skip taking standardized testing and graduated High School by doing an essay.
Then, I went to cosmotology school actually did very well. But, ultimately let my licence expire, cause I switched career path and became an illustrator. Not saying i'm the worst at match I can do the basics, but all that other shit I can look at it and still go " Why is there letter's in here?".
I'm 30 now. I basically do work that involves design or illustration since it's work I can do from home. I'm just saying all the jobs listed were all out of my reach due to lack of teachers giving a shit and me being passed up by each one, cause they didn't want to teach me and wanted to get rid of me. There you go a brief history of my experience in the Texas school system. It's still horrible.
Snow Anaya. I have somewhat the same problem, exept I was force to move to mexico at age twelve, their education system is awful, had a hard time in two subjects. Particularly math. My family were strict and demanding led me to cut myself, after six years I finally moved back to the United States, I still had problems with math yet manage to pass my GED, I'm also going to study for cosmetology.
I feel your pain :( I'm in the same boat lmao

I majored in stem because I don’t want people to think I’m stupid who can’t handle math or physics. When I was in my first semester in college and I saw calculus 1&2 I want to run away. However my parents and my friends support me and told me don’t be afraid and after 4 years I got my degree. Now I have a degree and job and so proud of my Stem degree.
To those of you who are bummed there aren't any humanities, social sciences, or art majors on the list, here's some info to help you out:
ART
Use your art skills to help companies market themselves. Some useful skills to supplement your fine art skills is to learn basic front-end programming and basic digital art skills. Web design is also a good subfield to pursue as web designers are more creative than web developers.
Indie games are gaining a lot of popularity nowadays. A lot of indie gaming companies need artsy people as well as technical people. The art can be one of the biggest selling points of a game, so great artists are needed. Some advice: try to design environments and maps instead of characters. Many companies see portfolios full of characters, but not too many people show off any environment/world designs.
HUMANITIES
It can be pretty boring, but it pays pretty well. Typically, a technical writer creates content in either the computer field or the medical field. You pretty much write manuals and how-to-guides to help users understand the product. You don't need to have tech skills to be a technical writer, you just need to understand technology and how to communicate well.
This one may go under art instead, but I'm thinking about journalism majors. Many news companies have a lot of writers, but are short on video/audio staff. Because social media has become so popular, journalists with experience editing audio and video are sought out more.
SOCIAL SCIENCES
Knowing another language makes you more marketable. If you are in a social science program, it would be wise to pick up a second language. For psychology majors, sign language is a good option. For history majors, chose a language of a culture you are interested in.
If you are interested in human services, social work is a good starting point. The degree requires you to have on-site training/internships before you are awarded your degree. A BSW is good to get your foot in the door, but an MSW makes you more marketable. For those of you in BA/BS programs in psychology, or sociology, you can pursue an MSW after graduation as holding a BSW is not a requirement for MSW programs. This is a good option if you are not interested in a PhD program.
Hope this helps! :)
I really appreciate this list! Social Work is not often mentioned in lists of majors, but it is what I am planning on majoring in.
@Mallory Huston Languages including Spanish are going to be MUCH better for you than something like art or 'theatrical studies'. Good luck and stay competent.
@ Not in our lifetimes bud
@@da14a49
lol, really. I presume you are not a CS major, yeah?
@ I don't even live in America so...
Great. Not a single artsy major. I knew it. I'm going to be broke af my whole life.
Isn´t that quite usual. The majors in some fields aren´t called potential taxi drivers for nothing. But don´t give up. When you´re lucky you will have a well paid job too. Agriculture isn´t mentioned aswell. I don´t know how things are over in the US but in my country it´s quite easy to find a good job.
Musical Steph don't talk like that it's actually a really good major to have on your cv and the arts is one of the few industry that has consistently good growth
I am also an art major. You have a very wide range of opportunities. You can become an artist, animator, photographer, editor, publisher, journalist, psychologists, advertiser, director, actor etc. Explore all the opportunities and do the things you love. You can make money in any field if you have the required talent
If you are going for a artsy major I really highly recommend that you change to a useful degree
I'm in Australia and I want to major in Creative Writing because I love writing and it has many practical applications in the field, but for a virtually my whole life I've wanted to be an artist in the broad sense i.e. a writer, actress and fine artist.
I know that I'll be able to make money by writing for companies, but I'll probably have little money if I try to be freelance like I always wanted to.
Lmao I’m so lost and depressed 😹😹😹
Hi go to trade school for something that would give you pride. Let go of the lie that you still need a college degree to succeed.
I feel you, I am on my 3rd year at uni, i study economics and I HATE IT! i don't wanna be an economist and I don't wanna pursue career in that field at all, when I was 18 I did not know what I wanted to do with my life and I just chose this major that everyone recommended and I got in one of the best universities in my country, I was really excited, but after few months I really hated every subject that I was studying.

lika I am becoming a teacher now and it’s something I am passionate about despite the fact that everyone says the job is a bit shit. I just wanna do what my heart wants and if I have to go back to collage in 5 or 10 years so be it!
@@Camman6972 I'm happy for you, that's so cool! I have a question, is there any other way to get into us collage other than transferring from my uni? I won the green card lottery and next year i'm moving to the us, so I am just dropping out from my uni after this year. can i register to take SAT exams even though i am a foreigner?
lika It’s been a couple of years since I took my SAT but you should look up how you’re gonna take it on the area you’re moving to. Also contact the university you’re planning on going to in the US so you don’t lose all of your credits since a semester of American collage can cost like $30K but if you wait like a year you will become a resident of the state and the cost will go down a little bit. Idk how collage is like in your country but American collage is very expensive compared to other countries.
My sister’s friend wants to be an actuary, My cousin is a lawyer, and My stepmom has her Doctorate in nursing. For me my major is child Development I knew I won’t make a lot of money but I love it 😍. "And it has been said if you do what you love you will never work a day in your life.”😍💜
Mackenzie Esslin and be poor as shit...
You wont work a day in your life
And you won't have food on the table
the only reason you have that privilege is that you are surrounded by money and you know some rich people who could help you out financially, like your cousin, step mom or sister´s friend
Mackenzie Esslin ......show off much?
My cousins all want to do porn. All 8 of them.
Amen to that I don't care if I just work as Staff Accountant making roughly $45K as long as I wake up every dawn and putting a big ol' smile and say ''Ahh it's going to be a good day!'
i was accounting major and now i'm a banker .... and i hate every decision i made in my life that brought me here .. it pays well i can't deny it but i hate everything else :D :D
nolya14 unless U R 60 you can switch careers
Uh oh.. I am in my 4th year and I am trying to get into one of the big 4. You didn't like it?
I'm almost graduating ... majoring in banking n finance with specialism in risk management. Im Kinda excited to work. What to expect? I heard it's stressful
Chiara Offreduccio aww thank you! I'm even more hyped :)
i'm sure you are going to be great because you seem to know what you want .... to me it's a completely different story my major was a thing and minor was a completely other thing and in leadership program i was all over the place because i didn't know what i wanted exactly .... honestly till now i'm not sure of what i'm good at or what i want that's why it's difficult to change career .... i graduated 2 years ago and been working in the credit loans sector in a bank for the last year and everyone around me is telling me this is amazing because i didn't do anything around credit in my studies and only took the credit exam before i enter the bank and somehow passed and they hired me and they say it's a great opportunity and i should be happy and my supervisor say i'm good at what i do but i can't see myself in it and also i don't know what they saw to in me, and if i resigned now where would i go ... i am the problem don't worry it's not the major :D
I'll tell you now; if you aren't a math/science person then this list is going to be a waste of your time. I'm a communications and media major and I didn't expect my major to be on this list.....and its not.
Agnes Amarfio I suck at math but I made it through. I'll be graduating in computer science:)
hey agnes, i will be graduating next year and i have been thinking to go to communications major, but from what i've seen.. people say it's a useless major because it's a basic thing people can do, i know it's not true since it is more than that, but can i hear your opinion as a comm's major student?
I tried computer science and failed calc and chemistry...now I'm doing computer information systems. Has all the same programming classes but none of that math. I would've loved to keep trying with calculus but it would've taken me more than four years to graduate, and my scholarship only pays for 4 years. Anyway, congratulations! I'm sure the journey was incredibly hard but well worth it :) Hoping I can still be a programmer with my degree.
You just got to network. Communications is a gateway, it's not a guarantee. Get an internship, volunteer in an area you're interested in, find out what you like and then figure out a way to apply what you've learned in Comm. to the things that you want to do. If you need more schooling in a focused area, whether it's graphic design, coding, or organizational behavior, find ways to do it. Keep your chin up and be persistent, and you'll be fine! You can do it!
As a communications major, it's a worthless degree but it helps for a future WalMart job. Yes, I have known many communications majors now working in retail, not as managers but as clerks. That's about what it is good for, unless you are lucky and know the right people. Luckily, I did know the right people and got a worthwhile minor (marketing) and I speak Spanish, otherwise I would be at Walmart like many communications majors.
Electrician, 5 year apprenticeship and you start day one making $18/hr after 5 years $43. That’s $90,000. The idea you have to go to college is false.
Trade school is way too underrated look at the amount of likes you have
No one wants to be an Electrician.
Why wait 5 years to make 90,000 when you can just go to school be done and come out with a good degree starting off at 90,000?
I Started at community college and hated it, so I transferred to a technical college. No longer am I writing 10 page essays every week and I'm learning real world knowledge while using variety of tools to complete electrical projects. Best decision I've made so far.
@@jaylajohnson6882 no bachelor degree will give a starting pay of $90,000. However, I would rather join an apprenticeship for 5 years instead of going to 5 years of schooling since an apprenticeship will allow you to gain work experience and you gain better wages within those 5 years. Meanwhile, going to university for 4-6 years will cost you lots of money. ( the average student loan debt after graduation is $35,000) even if you manage to graduate with a degree, you will need to find a job within that field which can be very difficult and let me tell you, no degree will guarantee a job. With that said, please consider doing your research on this topic.
I love how the video up next for me is a ted talk titled "Why your major will never matter" 😂😂

So pretty much if you're terrible at math like me your major is not successful lol
Francesca yep
Not necessarily just learning basic arithmetic, algebra can help you in real life, like me I am an undergraduate in business focusing on accounting then finance after my AAS.
Francesca lol marketing and law doesn't require much math at most statistics
How hard is it to study and apply formulas? The answers as to how to apply those is right in the books. You have to STUDY and practice. That is what so many people are afraid of...hard work and commitment.
Depends what type of math. I'm very good at Geometry and some algebra concepts but other more complicated algebra concepts and anything precalculus (which im in now and struggling) or calculus for that matter is a no go. One major I'm considering when I do go to college is architecture, and to my knowledge the math required isn't extremely difficult unless I heard wrong.
I’m a speech therapy major, it’s pretty rare but I really enjoy it. After graduate school, I know I’m pretty much assured a job because the competition isn’t as crazy as some other careers. My aunt is a speech therapist and makes 100k working at a hospital. I want to work with children in schools, though. I’m super excited :)
Lucky you....
In my country speech therapist don't earn that much...
But it is a really lovely career :)
I used to have a passion to be a surgeon, now I’m drifting from that, I don’t know if I want to be an accountant, entrepreneur, shit I don’t know
Good career is all relative. A good career is what you make of it. Major in something that's wise financially, but doesn't want to make you slit your wrists every night and minor in what you love. Just don't be like me and study psychology. I wished to initially pursue a PhD, but now that I've graduated last week, I just don't see it worth the debt. Now, I see myself going to grad school for human resources.
hi looking for a job lol loved my major but it's kinda useless thus far for decent jobs, not that they aren't out there, just not in my area.
hi my intention was and still is to go on to gain a master's in counseling. Also, I don't take it as being rude!
Finally MsMojo made a list of something I'm interested to know.
I'm a pre-nursing student. I don't give two shits about money. My purpose is to heal the people, and actually make them feel safe and comfortable in the hospital. I want to go above and beyond, giving the best care possible. I'm so compassionate, not to mention, I LOOOVEEE science and medicine. We need REAL caring people, not just people in it for the money. If there are sick children, I want to bring little stuffed animals to give them for being awesome for getting through having to get a shot. It's gonna be more than just a job- it will be my passion and life. Nursing is NOT for everyone. You can kiss your 9-5 life goodbye. So if you're in it for all the wrong reasons, do everyone a favor and stop. It seems like many people take nursing, but only few really have what it takes.
Yesit'sJess Love and happiness wont pay the bills.
Juan Antonio Ríos Olvera and being miserable at life won’t either because you’ll end up offing yourself
Yesit'sJess my sentiment as well and you are right. Medical field is NOT for everyone expecially nursing as they are often the first person of contact for a patient and definitely constant through their stay. It saddens me when I here people talk about money or prestige when choosing a career in Health, it shouldn't matter, you are dealing with people's lives in your hands, being generously paid is just a bonus. A doctor that will not prescribed medication but try to delve in why you are in this situation, listen to you, empathize, advice, encourage, invest personal time in you, this has no prize.
I place medics and teachers in the same bracket as they are thrusted with lives!
I completely agree! So many people say they want to be a nurse but have NO IDEA what being a nurse really means. I thought I wanted to be a nurse right after I graduated high school so I tried to get my foot in the door by getting some experience working with nurses & getting my CNA. I loved the medical side but I did not like the emotional scene. You have to be ok with patients crying and wanting to know if you care and their families wanting to know you care as well. You're dealing with 20+ patients a day. You definitely HAVE to be a caring person to be good at that job. I know I wouldn't want a nurse who doesn't care about my medical conditions taking care of me so I didn't want to be that nurse, especially on a bad day. Being a nurse goes beyond a stable career and a nice paycheck. I HIGHLY recommend anyone considering a nursing major become a CNA first or during their freshman year. It DEFINITELY helps when you graduate because employers will see that you have healthcare experience and that you are familiar with working with nurses as opposed to you working random jobs to get by during your college years. That will make them feel confident in hiring you.
I mean no offence but what is the difficulty in the degree? Is it conceptual or practical or both.
No. If u are passionate and love the major you pick then go for it. You'll succeed because of your passion and love for what you do and is going to push yourself to be the best.
Have a good day everyone:)
My dream and passion was to be a mjor in film and music but sadly life led me somewhere else like nursing which is not my dream more on for survival. Someday I wanna bring that film and music passion alive again.

Well, I suppose being a major in Foreign Languages won't cut it. I suck at Math and Science.
Ahh, what a promising future that awaits.
A major in a Foreign Language is super valuable, any sort of international company needs translators/interpreters in order to do business. Publishers also need people to translate books/papers/etc. into other languages or to proof read what others have translated. With a major in a foreign language you could also be a teacher either in your current country or in a country that's native language is the one you studied. You could also work at universities, either as a professor or as someone who works with international students.

If there is anyone still thinks that only money can bring you happy, I challenge them to rethink when they are sick or dying. Be in finance freedom, not rich. Stablize your need (place to stay, food to eat, transportation to go). Know when is enough
Just graduated nursing school 😤✊🏽💯
Is it hard cause Im thinking being a nurse....
Rachel Ladrillo Yes it’s hard. But most majors that make good money are hard so just fight through it.
Rachel Ladrillo what do you major in when you wanna be a nurse?
Good careers, working all day a soulless job that gives you no personal reward. But yeah, let's all agree that money is the most important thing in life
Soulless? Most of these are project oriented careers
Working at Google and make shit ton of money while getting so many cool and free stuff has made my life pretty good.
Tupemo at the end of the day when you die that won’t matter
I'm a criminal justice major didn't expect to see that there
Meghan Malone is it hard? I wanna do that in college and maybe double major into forensic chemistry :0
Ishaan kaushal every major has hard classes, but CJ is one of the easier majors out there
Same
Meghan Malone same here, my minor is homeland security and honestly both are fun af youre practically guaranteed a job out of college granted you aren't stupid
I’m a criminal justice major too. I agree that it is probably one of the easier majors. However, sometimes it can get complicated depending on the topic and there is a lot to remember. Also, it’s the type of major that can be paired up with other subjects such as I.T., accounting, psychology, etc.
I grew up being an art enthusiast and the other side of myself was all about science. When i was a child i was very creative with my hands. I would be that kid that liked making ramps out of random items in my home for my hotwheel cars and id make huge forts in my home. I loved looking up diy science videos on youtube when it first came out and coming up with new ideas to create things i liked. When i was in elementary school i had a field trip to a nasa headquarters and immediately became interested in them and astronomy. But in school i wasnt excelling in mathematics. I failed all of them all the way up to highschool. So i decided to stay with art and persue a career in illustration or animation because i didnt have enough confidence to take up a stem major in college. But after highschool i couldnt help but feel like i was being call on to mathematics. Like i needed to learn it. I needed to learn the language of the universe. I felt like this is what i had to persue all along. And the fact that ive always questioned our universe and love creating stuff with my hands i was drawn to mech. Engineering. I gave myself a chance and decided to major in it. So far its my official first year in college and ive been passing all my math classes and discovered how beautiful and amazing math is. Its explains our universe in the most amazing way possible and the more i learn it and get better at it the cooler it gets. I know i may sound like a geek to some ignorant peoole but if it wasnt for mathematics idk where we'd be in the world today.
What is a “good career”?? Is there even an objective answer?? Self- satisfaction comes with how much you love your job.
Teachers don’t have good careers?
What about authors, actors, dancers, scientists, historians, etc, etc.
So many career paths are good, it just depends on how much effort the person puts to advance his career and how much he loves and cares about it.
Tip number 11 go to a trade school. Learning a trade means you will probably be in good health with the physical labor you most likely will be doing. Also people pay like 35 an hour for welders. That just welders. My friend tells Mexicans where to lay pipes down. Gets paid 59 dollars an hour.
I majored in Philosophy at a top school and it’s served me very well. It would have been nice had the WatchMojo people put a little more effort into researching facts beyond starting salaries. Many humanities majors actually have great income payoff over the course of a career and won’t leave you with $250k of debt, like law or medical school will.
Chiara Offreduccio I work in recruiting at Uber!
Hi Chiara! So I initially worked in HR for Target, actually, and soon realized that retail management was NOT for me. After that, I moved into a recruiting coordinator role at Uber in SF, and am trying to move into sourcing/full cycle recruiting next. If you're looking to go right into recruiting, it's much easier to break into it by working at a staffing agency as a recruiter. It's a serious hustle, but you can make good money. If you'd like to take another route, you can apply to be a recruiting coordinator. Based on your experience, I think you'd have no problem getting hired as an RC somewhere. Hope this helps :)
avril14thlove so basically you don’t do what you studied in college
Youre right. My bro is a philosophy and pols. Sci major. People joke he wont get a job than me since im a bio major. Between and me. Who get more job? Who earns more money? Who is financially wealthy? Him!. The thing about careers is that its luck. And to him it happened to be philosophy that puts him to luck. Therefore college is actually a time to study something tou really enjoy and just earn up a degree.
Young Keazy majority of people don't. Even people in engineering don't always end up working in their field.
One thing that this video fails to mention is that many of the STEM jobs are temporary ones.
What's a good major for someone that sucks at math and has social anxiety?
Meee
Sebastian De La Rosa try art, I’m joking that’s one of the WORST choices u can make, maybe Cj or psych?
Just do something you love, if you’ll get paid a lot, you’re just lucky 😜🤪🤟🏻
Let me guess, no humanities degrees? Contrary to what you hear, a lot of companies now are hiring people who studied Classics, Literature, and Social Sciences, just to name a few. The so-called "soft skills" you learn in those disciplines are really in demand right now, employers want people who can analyze things and think creatively, and it's a shame people don't hear about that more.
Whether or not humanities majors can actually analyze in a meaningful way for the business world is beyond me to say, but as someone who interviews and hires people, I'd much rather have analysis come from a business major, accountant, economist, mathematician, statistician, science major, etc. rather than a history major or sociology major.
That's a valid point, but what I'm saying is that companies today want their employees to have a diverse range of skills and points of view, so they look for people who have backgrounds that aren't necessarily what you'd expect someone in the business world to have. For example, a lot of tech companies hire Art and English majors, because even though they need people who understand computers and such, they also understand that that is only one aspect of what they do - albeit the most important one - and that they need workers who are creative, and understand how to appeal to people outside the tech world.
But also as someone with that job, aren't there more factors to it than what you majored in? like resumes, internships, letters of recommendation, academic history etc. I think that factors like those should be taken in consideration besides majors as you can have a person that had a 4.0, great letters of rec, really good internships etc and be a history major then have a 3.3 GPA student with no internships who was a business major. Would you really hire that person just because they were a business major as opposed to the highly qualified person who was a history major? IMO I don't think the major really matters (unless they are very far off) just as long as that person is committed and motivated to do the job.
Depending on what social science tbh. Psych majors have a ton of opportunities.
Sorry to tell you, but the reason they hire people with degrees like those is because they can offer you a lower starting salary as opposed to someone who holds a STEM degree. It's not about what's in demand, it's about the bottom line.
History major. Not surprises this wasn’t here. All freaking STEM, business or medical.
The thing is in the UK, unless you're in medicine, in the biochemistry field or specifically chemical/ petroleum engineering, your starting salary will be around 30 000 and your peak will be 50 000. When rent per year in London is around 30 000, you don't really have as many options.
History is a hobby subject.
When I go off to college I'm gonna study to become a mental health therapist.
Earth's Finest I just graduated high school and want to do that too but psych majors get you nowhere without a masters or sum. I guess I’ll just do business or engineering

What about a wumbo major? The study of wumbology? It's the best major you can be smh 😥
Good luck with that...the acceptance rate is intensely low...trust me I tried to get into it but wumbology isn't meant for me
My AS degree was in Computer Science but I went into more of the artistic side, web design. I make fair money though and love my job so I can't complain.
Kudos to you!
This is a good process for helping determine your college major. Begin by using the process of elimination. Look at a list of the majors. Mark off the majors you know 100% that you do not want to major in. Afterwards, you will have a much shorter list of options. When I did this, I only had one left and that is what I majored in.
I seriously could have used this list like 7 years ago😡
sonicjrjr14 lmfao
What was your major? Lol
Jehovanny Garcia could be English......who knows?
So you were too lazy to do your own research 7 years ago?
CS should be near the top. Granted if you are studying medicine, you won't be done for a long, long time.
My father wanted to become an architect and my mother was on her way to be a scientist in physics. Fast forward my little sister is becoming a computer scientist and I’m ......a writer 😐 what happened??
I mean as long as you're happy with it then its fine, and I would assume you are since you wouldn't become a writer if you didn't plan to be there in the first place.
Don't forget these highly useful university degree majors-
- English language
- Literature
- Linguistics
The degrees that the whole world wants
These majors are great, but they are just that: majors. They are tools that hopefully will help you get well-paying jobs and job satisfaction. What this video failed to mention is that majors a sliver of the equation. Even if you have a highly sought after major, if you don’t use the knowledge you gained to get experience, you’ve just got a piece of paper.
I can speak from experience of being in my field for over a decade. What I do at my job (web development), I have zero formal education for. My major was in journalism. But I had the passion and interest in the web to explore development on my own. What’s better is for you to learn some soft skills and the ability to market yourself.
I know of many friends who has majors but aren’t using them at all. So it really comes down to you: how much you’re willing to learn and presevere, how much you can use your experience to foresight the possibilities, and getting some actual experience in what you’re good at. If you’re passionate about something, it’ll serve you well to continue the fight when life gets hard.
It just implies to America...In other country the story is entirely different....
You don't need to do one of the things in the video to be successful, there are people who never went to college and are on the top of their career. It all depends on doing what you love, chasing curiosity and what success means to you
Software engineering / computer science majors have an enormous early-career advantage because it's easy to improve your programming skill via independent practice, and it's easy to prove your skill by writing some code. While the software industry is not a pure meritocracy (nothing is), the engineers with high potential are easy to recognize and they tend to reach their potential very early.
Psych major right here!
Also known as a unemployment major
Depends on where you get your Psych degree from.
Chiara Offreduccio I plan to! Eyeing up whether to do a masters in Forensic or a doctorate to become an Ed Psych
Michelle Rekuc med schools actually take psych majors. So it depends on what you do with your psych degree
Read worthless by Arron Clarey that book helped get out of psychology
Just started my first year as a CS student and is going well till now!
I'm going to be a computer science major in the fall!
Same! I didn't expect to be #1
What Do Y’all Suggest For Someone That May Choose To Pursue This Major ?
WF&L 2k21 Get your math courses done as soon as possible.
Same here, i'm so excited..
Also try to figure what you want to be doing after you have graduated with your degree. Bc there is a lot of areas of computer science and engineering
I would add here chemistry, biology and combination of those two. You will find a decend jobs as well. I graduated with BS in biochemistry and MS in Project Management, can’t complain.
These aren't necessarily true. In my city there are more nursing schools than anywhere else in the country so it's hard to find a job after graduation. And I know 3 people who passed the bar exam who 5+ years later can't find jobs as lawyers.
The school they graduated from matters a lot not all degrees are the same
I'm kinda late here... But if anyone could help me out I'd be very grateful?
1) What are the main differences between Software Engineering and Computer Science?
2) Which is more lucrative Electrical Engineering or Computer Science/Software Engineering?
Thanks!
Kabeer Well CS is dealing with theory and SE is more about implementation since its engineering. As for your second question they both seem like good choices so I guess it comes down to whatever you like most or what you’re most skilled in. Hope this helps
Linguistics majors stand upppp!
Right now I'm studying Economy but I want to change and study Translation, learning languages and translating are things I love doing, actually I do it for fun. After a semester of Economy I just came to the conclusion that it is not what I want to do for a living. I've seen my dad after work, he comes home tired and stressed, even though he has a well paid job it doesn't seem to make him happy, and I don't want the same for me in the future. Still, I'm afraid that I'm making one of the worst decisions in my life by changing my career :/
I study computer science in Peru rn and people think that i fix computers and that my career is not as hard or even close to any engineering and it does not appear in any top. This is the first top i have seen in which computer science is the first and i am kind of happy :D
Fiore Barrientos Engineers will be left in the dust of computer science grads
I'm from Peru too and yeah I've heard that too :/
My grandpa didn’t go to college but he has the experience in architecture and he makes 80,000 a year and travels alot
Thats because he is good at it duh. I could acheive some of these cause I'm interested in them. But because of a poor country they arent interested in these things. U americans don't know what you have
How tho? I thought u need license for that
He needs a license for that tho, how is did he get that experience?
Art and English majors should make a proper amount of money considering we're the ones who design their logos, animate their shows, edit their documents, give creative advice, teach their kids, etc. Art and English is everywhere in what everyone does and yet we don't always get to make nearly as much as an architect or lawyer or a consistent salary 😭
No. There are many art and design fields that are much more practical that just art. For example graphic design and industrial design. Most people who major in just art or english are just lazying through college, then wonder why they can't get a job. The people in these fields doing work that matters are making good money. Getting an art degree and then selling necklaces on etsy is not as important or deserving as someone who designs products for major corporations.
Uhhh... have you heard of demand and supply?
i've always loved coding and programming and this just motivates me even more lmao
Im a computer science undergrad and it was amazing to be on top!! The view from here looks great!

I working as marketing executive right now without a degree
Im thinking of doing marketing. But howw...
Can you also give me some advice in doing marketing as a major?
My undergrad is communications, minor in marketing and I wish I had just gotten a marketing degree. I've always gotten more jobs because of marketing. Communications is junk, most of my classmates ended up returning to school. As it turned out I went for a masters in communications and instructional design and get more jobs in instructional design and am almost done with a masters in addictions counseling. There are many jobs in addictions counseling but the majority don't pay well so not sure if I will stay or return to marketing or instructional design.
I still feel like work experience is still more valuable than the degree alone, but that's just me.
Broadcasting and Mass Communication major!

Robots will do your jobs with higher accuracy in under 10 years.
3 years of calculus and hard work with almost guaranteed job security and a high salary, vs 3 years of easy subjects, with the consequence being living paycheck to paycheck for the rest of your life, never being able to pay off your student loans? I'm so glad I chose civil engineering as my major. I wasn't even that good at math to begin with, but I had to work hard at it.
@ Correct. I agree with you that futurewise, there will be a huge demand for computer/software engineers. Right now though, the highest demand in Norway is for civil engineers, mechanical engineers and electrical engineers. I know that in the US, civil engineers are sort of the low tier of engineers. There isn't as much demand for them, and they make less money. That's not the case in Norway, where civil engineers (byggingeniører) make even more than the other fields.
Fake ass medicine
Biology, psychology, and chemistry major. Also premed. I obviously hate myself for doing this 💁♀️ but I love love love surgery

Have u found a major yet or r u still thinking of dropping out??
I feel you, I am on my 3rd year at uni, i study economics and I HATE IT! i don't wanna be an economist and I don't wanna pursue career in that field at all, when I was 18 I did not know what I wanted to do with my life and I just chose this major that everyone recommended and I got in one of the best universities in my country, I was really excited, but after few months I really hated every subject that I was studying. I wanted to change major but I was afraid that I would end up hating other major as well, next year, I may be moving to usa and I am thinking about going to college there, but I have no idea what I wanna study.
I believe marketing is the best major out there, cause you can control all of the others. People coming from any kind of major would want to find a figure who can promote their work . Moreover, marketing consultants earn much more than any major , depending on the number of client they can get of course.
Hmm interesting I am planning marketing too

I regret not exploring my school options very well after HS. Feels like I wasted a lot of time since. 😢.

Just be good at maths! If you're going to do AP. Make sure to have enough maths, if you're interested. With maths to that point, you can't go wrong. 8 from the list need maths to get into a decent course.
A fine art degree wasn't here. It is surprising but a fine art degree is one of the few degrees that is attractive to almost all employers. Because it proves you an work as an individual and as part of a team, you are creative meaning that you have a creative mind set when it comes to problem solving. It proves that you are capable of writing large pieces of text that have been judged as up to pare, that you are capable at seeing a large projects through to completion and you are the kind of person who has skills in an area that most people admire. Like I said these are all things that most employers look for.
What kind of jobs would you be looking for? Yeah, critical thinking, teamwork and writing skills are extremely valuable, but most majors involve those. Unless you plan on using your degree towards a fine arts oriented job, you're probably going to be on par with most of humanities, business and science majors.
But you are not as strong in mathematics and analyzation which most, not all, companies want more
everything you just listed aren’t necessarily skills, rather attributes than a typical extrovert naturally displays. with that being said, a person with a civil engineering major can have these attributes, whereas a fine arts major won’t have the skills and knowledge needed. TL;DR attributes can be naturally attained by everybody, but skills and knowledge has to be gained through higher education. So even though you’re somewhat right that employers look for these skills, they’re going to look for somebody with a set of skills and knowledge that is useful
Jason Raymond analyzation skills are tourt in art actually you learn how to analyse hundreds of different verbals when creating something
Edwin cheung first as some one who has been on both sides of the education proses believe me there not, creative thinking a specially you might be lucky enough to have it naturally but you still need to be tourt how to use it. Second I never said you can't pick up these skills in other areas just that fine art shows them well. Third what skills and knowledge don't you think fine art gives you also the arts are higher education as well. Fourth the skills tourt in fine art are useful they apply to a lot of different jobs if you want I can list them.
I'm hoping to major in Drama or Creative Writing. Maybe Journalism, but I don't wanna be even more like Rory Gilmore so nah.
If they're majors that lead to good careers...doesn't that imply that they're majors that lead to bad careers?...
Sorry to tell you this, but there are good and bad careers/majors.
If you go to collage for a degree in social work, go $120,000 in debt, get out and make $25,000 a year, it was a bad degree/career.
If you go for software engineering, go $120,000 in debt, get out and make $90,000 a year, it was a good degree/career.
Yes
not all colleges will cost that much. there are plenty of cheaper schools that will not put you into $100,000 + in debt (for example a public university, even without any aid will not cost you over $100,000). it depends on your situation (as people get scholarships and financial aid or have the money to pay for it). also it's not all about the money, if you are doing a job that makes you happy and satisfied then I would say you do have a good career. it all depends on the person and their situation
Yeah it's called arts
Winslow Greaves Hello "Artsy" stuff....
