Check out the best stem degrees video and the STEM degree tier list video for more information on STEM degrees. STEM stands for Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (Math). These are known as being some of the better degrees when compared to others and there is a lot of truth to that, but it's not that simple. There are many STEM degrees that aren't that good so as always, it's worth it for you to do your research.

I would love a part 2 of Top 10 Highest Paying College Degrees (11-20).
Noted Oscar. What degrees would you like to see for the part 2?
I want you to talk about different biology majors and grade them from the best to the worst and also the best careers for theses majors
Please please
How about top paying humanity degrees?
Shane Hummus - The Success GPS Great. Thanks, Shane. Whichever degrees are the highest paying after the top 10.
I just finished my BSc in Biology and I can confirm - Do NOT get into biology if you 1) don't want to pursue a career in ecology/zoology/botany, etc and 2) have respect for your soul, money and time. I'll now get into a MSc degree in Molecular Biomedicine and Biotechnology because Biology has served me absolutely nothing. If I could go back I would've chosen Bioengineering, Biotechnology, Chemistry or something along those lines with skills that are actually useful in the industry (programming, data analysis, molecular modeling and drug discovery...)
Thanks for your input Rafael. Good luck
Does the degree title really matter? People doing Biology will have the same foundation knowledge and principles as someone studying biotech, biochem, immunology, pharmacology, molecular biology, genetics, medicinal chemistry, microbiology, embryology, sports science, nutrition/food science ETC.. I also did a biology BSc and still managed to do modules in pretty much anything I wanted. It wasn't all animals and plants as others tend to think it is.
I don't think biology is a waste of a degree, although I can see why people think it is. Use your masters to build on statistics and lab skills to make up the lack of these experiences at undergraduate. Although, I suppose COVID has made this harder...
I think degree titles are misleading as to what someone actually studied.
Thank god I chose to pursue a BSc in Biotechnology. Hoping to go into biotech/pharma or bioengineering.
Consider becoming a pathologist or pathologist assistant or a certified nurse anesthest
Im actually starting my BSc in biology this years but that's just because i wanna go on to become a physical therapist and biology was the only available major in my country that I could take
Just to remind people: You’re degree doesn’t determine your value
But if you’ve a degree in Jam Making I’m sorry there’s no hope for you
:))
Exactly. Positive thinking is one thing....but bad judgment is a nickel a tonne.
Also Gender Studies
It seems like two common rules of thumb for a good degree in stem are:
1) salary will be based on supply, demand, and competitive landscape of possible careers
2) foundational majors, such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science are in demand because they can be applied to so many industries. The more foundational majors, as long as their skills are in demand, always seem to offer the safest paths and most wide array of career opportunities.
I would add civil engineering to that fundamental engineering. With civil engineering you can specialise in softwares (BIM), in mechanical things (floor mechanics, materials), and much other stuff that are not related to construction at all
I agree, when it comes to in demand fields it's better to have a more general major because there's already a lot of opportunity
Nah. Basically the more math the better
@@clamchowder7609 mathematician salaries:
Agreed with Fundamental Engineering Degrees then you can specialize later on based on your opportunities/interest
So glad you mentioned biology, I’ve seen sooo many people and peers that graduated with a biology degree (some that graduated with honors) but couldn’t find anything in their field or wasnt able to get accepted into professional schools. You’re better off doing biomedical engineering or chemistry.
Thanks for watching Sarabeth
Didn't know this, thought it was viable to be a pharmacist or something
Andrew dobtson a physics youtuber was about to go into biology before switching to physics, guess he got saved :D
Thanks for sharing this. I'm a bio major. My school is a small school and offer different types: Geneal, Pre Professional, Nursing, and Biochemistry. I'm pre professional right now, but thinking of going into general. Do you think it would be smart for me to switch to biochem instead? I just want to take the least amount of chemistry classes as possible. I hate math, so it would be nice to have some guidance into which track I should do and the careers offered for that. I already plan on going to grad school
fanatsywriter 12345 what is your biochem program like at your university? I think switching would be an ideal solution if: - you know that the program in your school has a good professional school/hiring track. One of my friends also obtaining a biochem degree (with an emphasis in biology) got immediately hired after graduation (which occurred last May) into a lab.
- the pros/cons of a biochem versus biology degree
-if your interested in the versatility of biochemistry in other fields (computer science, chemistry, microbiology)
Honestly you’re better off double majoring in biology and biochemistry or majoring in biochemistry with a pre professional concentration/minor. Also, try to get as much as lab/work experience as possible before you graduate!!
Edit: I just saw your math comment. Biochemistry requires more math than a regular biology degree. At least at my university, biochemistry majors are required to take 3 semesters worth of calculus and 2 semesters of calc based physics. It’s not bad, but it’s not an easy requirement to overcome
@@Sesj02 My last advisor informed me that the only difference is that we have to take an extra chemistry class for biochem. For any bio track, I think we have to take chem 1 and 2 and inorganic chem 1 and 2 and for math, we have to have calc and statistics and to get there we have to pass College Algebra and trig or pre calc. My current advisor advised me to take trig. I am taking college algebra right now. I am behind on my classes and will possibly graduate a semester late, but that's okay. I was focused on graduating on time, now I'm just focused on passing my classes and getting a great job I'll love
Did a little bit of research my freshman year of college and decided to switch my major from exercise science to nursing after the very first semester. Just graduated with my BSN and already have a great job lined up. I think I made the right choice.
Thanks for sharing!!
Smart!!! That's what i have shared at various college job fairs
Oh! Can I ask you how you made your decision? I am in kinesiology, deciding whether to switch to nursing!! I was thinking either a Physical therapist or RN. I would love to hear you out and know your thought process in your choice.
You should do best cities to move after graduation. Love the videos!
I would love to have this video!!
Noted.. that could be a good one
@@ShaneHummus I agree, so +1
Yes I would love to know all the states that lay health care workers a lot and have a cheap cost of living!
This is good
One of my friends from high school got a Biology degree and now he works at a pet store...
😑
Hey at least he made it in the field that somewhat relates to his major but still what a waste.
Shane is on a roll recently! Printing Technology is such a funny major lolol
Thanks for the support Sarah. Stay tuned for more videos
its not funnier than "Exercise Science"..lolol or did he call it "Exercise Technology" what is that?? Lols
i think its better to not study anything that sounds too specifc for a university degree .
Keep up with your work! You have no idea how useful your videos have been for me and everybody else. Your channel should be a MUST for any recent graduate or anybody that wishes to make smart decisions!
I appreciate that!
The real tragedy is that these STEM majors have some of the highest proportion of women among STEM degrees.
Good observation Tim
I judge the quality of stem degrees by the amount of women that study them lol. Lesser women, better the degree is.
So basically they are sexist and pray on women predatory degrees
Starting to lose respect for women due to their pathetic choices debt is disgusting UGH 😩 what is wrong with you
qjtvaddict I’m not sure if this is sarcasm, but my point is that we might improve the under-representation of women in STEM if we help inform them. They can still work on healthcare, but it’s _way_ better to come from a traditional (ME, EE, CS) background over Biology/Biomedical engineering.
My jaw dropped at the number 1! I went from thinking that was a reasonable degree to realizing it is a total scam!
😂
6:17 Math Education is not a STEM degree.
I'm not trying to nit-pick, but the sad state of affairs is that math education is completely divorced from the field of mathematics. I am a math major, got my degrees in math, taught a couple of years at the college level, all great.
Now I am teaching high school, and it is a complete bastardization of the entire discipline. No working mathematicians are consulted when it comes to math education at the gradeschool level. Not for curriculum, not for textbooks, nothing. It's like they are teaching them how to write music and convert the writing to a different scale or key, but they never actually let them hear any music. They don't _do_ anything and I cannot communicate with them. Their previous teachers tell them how to solve a problem with a procedure that they cannot deviate from, and they tell them math is "another language." It's so bizarre.
Thanks for sharing your insights on this
@@ShaneHummus You're welcome. If you're interested in the divide between mathematicians and math education, check out Paul Lockhart's "A Mathematician's Lament", which you can find online.
Paul Lockhart is a research mathematician that later went on to teach math at the high school level, and he does an excellent job at detailing just how bad it is. You might find its contents as inspiration for some content on your channel, as it really shows the difference between math as a STEM field, and math education as a .... weird bastardization of the field that serves very little practical purpose.
That's really sad, a generation of math ignorants, from the richest country in the world.
This was my problem in school. I could comprehend a math equation but I didn't understand how it was being used practically.
As a math tutor, I am trying to break that mold constantly. I learned the most by experimentation with math and learning how to apply concepts to new situations, so I'm trying to teach my students that the best way to be good at math is to learn how to think through a problem, not just memorize how to do it. So, I tend to stress conceptual teaching rather than algorithmic teaching. I'm also trying to show that it can be fun to play around with numbers and manipulate variables. I'm not a math major, btw. I'm just a chemistry major who does math tutoring on the side.
I do admit that I've been fortunate enough to be in gifted programs throughout my elementary and middle school years and those teachers taught the importance of understanding the underlying concepts. I also had a father who taught math and he stressed the same from elementary school. I went to a magnet school as well, so my teachers there (especially my calculus teacher) also stressed understanding the underlying basis for a problem rather than simply memorizing how to do it. So, I do acknowledge that I have been unusually fortunate in my education.
I’m majoring in library science but my program is mainly information science with a focus on data management. You’re definitely right about the job prospects for librarians though. There are many fields you can work with a library and information science degree, but no one really explores anything outside of libraries or archives, even though there are many companies that are ready to hire someone with our skill set.
Good luck Keti
I didn’t even know that degrees like these existed. 😭
haha right
Me too. Sounds like some of these should be minors within the discipline.
I haven't even heard if some of these 😮
Absolutely love your vids!!! So much useful information. Great job!!
Thanks so much!
Something for us international students would be nice! 😎✌
Noted. I'll keep that in mind my friend
@@ShaneHummus Thanks man, I'm always looking to improve and help others do the same!
Samantha colleges need to be held responsible for this crap.
Yikes I considered that bc I love Environmental science for agriculture
Hey Shane! Was waiting for you to make this video. I had this in mind. Good job!
Hope you enjoyed it!
So you mean to tell me that I can't become a gender engineer or gender analyst with my gender studies degree??
Opening a new school soon. Will offer a Gender Science Engineering Technology Studies Degree for only $80k/semester
@@ShaneHummus will you offer a love and happiness science major too?
@@philkarlandted5460 dude that's psychology
@@miffyn1737 I thought psychology was horror and misery studies.
@@philkarlandted5460 that's criminology dude
Loving all the college education related topics man! Liked the video 5 times for the algorithm
Much appreciated!
I first majored in Exercise Science (switching half way through my first year) bc I was told it was the “people focused” version of bio. I was on a premed track & was advised that exercise science was the way to go as opposed to bio. At my school, the curriculum was almost identical to bio, only diff being stuff like human anatomy in the exercise sci course list vs zoology in the bio course list.
I’d say if you’re premed or plan on grad school, exercise science is just fine since you complete all the prereqs.
It’s definitely not a degree for someone who wants to be a personal trainer & I wasn’t aware anyone actually thought it was...
Thanks for sharing that Jackie
I'm only 16 so whilst I don't have hands on experience with any of this, I've always thought the S part of stem is very overrated. The problem is if your career is not something that's directly marketable it's difficult to make money out of it, no matter how good you are at it or how difficult it is. Getting a PhD in theoretical physics and going into research is incredibly difficult but you can't really sell your research on string theory. If all you're doing is research and aren't able to discover anything you can sell for money then unfortunately money isn't going to magically appear because you're smart. Whereas if you're for example an aerospace engineer and are designing aircraft then your abilities are actually useful and can be sold and it's why you will almost always make more money as an engineer than as a scientist. What I'm saying is unless you're just really passionate about what you're studying there's really no point in going into science research. It's incredibly difficult and stressful for mediocre pay. Engineering and tech are just as difficult but much more profitable.
Good luck Dynamo!
"Not only the bread feeds a human being". If you love science, there´s no problem with a low salary. Obviously it´s necessary the money for live.
You might do very well as an aircraft machanic.
"I'm only 16 so whilst I don't have hands on experience with any of this, I've always thought the S part of stem is very overrated."
Not when the other three letters of STEM are all founded upon science. The value of knowledge and scientific research should not be heavily judged based on subjective monetary value. It is important to remember that most tech innovations came about from intellectual knowledge purely derived from curiosity and creativity which you can't put a price on. If anything " pure science" disciplines such as theoretical physics are undervalued by our capitalist society which places an immense amount of value on quick results and monetary potential, reductively approaching science through a narrow minded viewpoint. Theory is the basis of all applied undertakings and that should be respected more than it currently is in our society. You don't need to be "really passionate" about scientific research to understand and pursue that. Hopefully you'll understand that when your older.
Although I agree with a lot of what you said, a theoretical physics degree is HUGELY desirable. It mainly just shows that your smart and therefore everyone from the CS industry to the financial industry to the engineering industry will want to hire you. It’s basically a maths degree and makes you far more employable than let’s say a civil engineering degree.
I’m officially part of the stache gang now, Shane.
haha leave my stache alone please!!! 🧔
Tirki lg
I think a quick way to determine if a given "engineering" degree is crap or not is to take a quick glance at your university's course catalog - if you don't see the calculus sequence then you can probably conclude the major is trash
Thats actually good advice... In my day there was no such thing as an Engineer who didnt know Calculus...
I’d go so far to say every engineer needs to have taken analysis and linear algebra too.
At least Real Analysis. I’ve met “engineers” who have not taken real analysis or abstract algebra and I thought WTF have you been studying then?😆
@nomarxistspls90 haha I haven't taken real analysis or abstract algebra, and I'm an aerospace engineer.😂 what school requires that???
Thank you for including exercise science in this video especially with it being number one. There are so many physical therapist and people with kinesiology masters degree putting free information out online. Fitness industry College education is slowly being destroyed. I talked to a PTA and they said "PTs are dying out Stick with Engineering" they said.
Right. Thanks for your input
Wdym pt is dying out
Actually surprised at your number once choice. I did sports and exercise sciences. The amount of careers are out of it are huge. Most of my classmates have branched of in so many different careers. Sports analysts, exercise physiologists, nutritionists, performance analysts, sports equipment anyslists (one is working on the fluid dynamics of racing boats), Sport performance laboratoritans, a number that when into research (myself for a number of years). Currently I'm a teacher at an international school. I'm well payed, it's easy work and I'm happy. Overall I really enjoyed my sports and exercise sciences degree. It's extremely informative, and covers a vast depth of fields, with a great number of opportunities.
Granted you're talking about American degrees, so it may not be as in depth there. I'm not sure.
Thanks for laying down your insights on this Kevin
Although I do agree that there is a bit of a saturation of Biology majors in entry level work, I will say that it is possible to find a job and start your path down a career. I graduated in 2016 with a Bio degree. No fancy research or shadowing experience. Just a BS in General Bio, and now I do really well and work at a big pharmaceutical company. I would say to make that happen 1) You have to be willing to start on the low end. I came out of college making $14/hr at my first lab job. 4 years later and my pay has more than doubled. 2) You have to be willing to move. There are certain cities that are big biotech/pharma hubs. Philadelphia, NYC, San Francisco, LA, Raleigh, just to name a few. Anyone with a Bio degree just keep your head up!!
Thanks for your input Xavier!
Love the video Shane! Very useful since people have weird choices for degree sometimes lol
True Andrea
Good job Bro! You are doing the next generation a big favor by guiding them. Love the memes too lol
Haha thanks for watching Paulo
for the specialized teacher degrees, some areas like my state require middle and secondary teachers to be specialized in specific fields to teach those subjects. so for example to be a high school math teacher you need to specialize in math as part of your education degree to meet the requirements to be certified to teach that subject.
Thanks for your input on this
Love this! Have a good weekend.
Thank you! You too!
I'm surprised Soil Science didn't make the list. They offer that degree at Texas A&M.
Haha I might include that next time
I graduated with "engineering physics" in 2015 with 3.43 GPA. I passed the FE exam in electrical engineering. I did an internship with a professor at college.
I probably applied to 1000 STEM jobs since then, and did not get even one offer for an interview.
I tried to learn some more skills like data science and did some hobby projects to show my skills. That didn't work either.
I went overseas to teach English for a couple years since I couldn't even get hired in the USA as a garbage man.
Then I started working in warehouses in the USA in 2019. I think I'll do that for the rest of my life, since it doesn't seem my degree is worth anything.
Thanks for sharing that Brendan
Get a job as an Electronic tech... You should be able to ace any employment exam by knowing the basics... Once you get in it will be low pay (relax) you will go up from there.... Your prob sounds like you dont have direct applicable experience.... Even an assembler job would get your foot in the door by learning how to solder to a Mil Spec etc.... Once you have these skills I promise you ppl will notice
that's HORRIBLE!
That’s how the get u and some of us end up with a high amount of student loan debt that’s why starting at a community college is smarter
Good point Leo

Number 2 - Library and Information Science *Le Gasp!*
It's interesting to see how low it is in the American list. It's a pretty badly paying job also here where I live but at least my university is free. It's definitely a job that's meant specifically for those who are really passionate about working in a library, such as yours truly.
Very interesting and informative! Thanks for the video! :D
Welcome
Your video is really inspiring at some point. People should do more investigations before choosing their degrees and institution available. For myself, I am pursuing mechanical engineering initially because I thought mechanical engineering is about studying and playing with interesting mechanisms and robots. Then I ended up struggling with a lot of math, equations and theories that I hardly memorize. My mentor told me don't go for a precise major if you're not sure what you really want. You might find out either limited career opportunity or the job content isn't what you expected.
Thanks for watching Zhi
thats so true. so many people advise others to do this and that just because the degree is hard and it can be 'useful', but it can work the other way and not be useful at all. theres people like econ grads who regret their study because they didnt actually get into it . only do them if it matches with your career aspirations. theres even people out there with engineering degrees but dont even have an engineering job.
me suddenly being very grateful that I switched from sports science & management to economics
Good luck

This is a super interesting video idea! What if you did one pitting top humanities degrees vs. top science/STEM degrees?
Hmm.. I'll keep that in mind. That would be interesting
That would be very interesting.
I did a math degree (General math and statistics degree - not teaching) and that was a good basis to follow onto a Masters programme in Finance. Others have do a Masters in data science / Actuary / Real Estate Investment . Is a good base degree that is respected by a lot of employers.
Thanks for your input Ling
Unfortunately colleges like mine don't offer a more specific major in biology. They tell you to take different biology classes like genetics, ecology and etc(limited bc college) to get a feel of what you are good at or like. With a biology major you can possibly get a research job(entry level), internships related to what you like( this is usually where some biology majors end up after graduation) or go to grad school/med school. It's easier to get into med school with a bio major...

Thanks to this video I discovered the existance of some degrees.
In 1980 the Bell System was broken up and there opened up the whole field of Telephony. Only the military and the Bell System had anyone that knew how to install and maintain phone systems. I managed to get a job as a cable puller and over the years learned everything I needed to know. Spent 30 years installing, repairing and programming phone system, no college degree required.
What we need more of is apprenticeship programs. Instead of schools, learning on the job.
When you say biology, do you specifically mean biology or are you including all aspects of it like biochemistry, toxicology, marine biology, microbiology etc.
Biology specifically, but many related degrees aren't that great either

I love the video. This sucks how many useless degrees are out there. Right now, I am still fuming for all the hidden fees I had to pay before my class started:
Pay to apply to University (got a great deal of applying to 4 Universities for free). I couldn't apply to a fifth one due to I had to pay $70-$100 for University Application. In contrast you can apply to 20 jobs or more for free.
I got accepted yay! but now I had to pay $150.00 or $100.00 to reserve my seat. Failure to pay you lose your acceptance. Really, that is so lame.
Pay $62.00 for a virtual orientation that I was forced to take or lose my seat through the free app Zoom . Come on.
Was rushed to pay my classes but I end up paying $56.09 for I used my unemployment debit card. Not happy.
The price for the classes did not go down despite being online. 2 classes $2,000 online. Online Online.
That is so much bs.
So far, it feels like review of what I learned on TH-cam. There are lecture classes. Damn. Should of went to Cal Poly Pomona for it teaches by doing. Not a fan of lectures. I will get an appointment with an advisor to help me out.
Wait til you get to the books that you have to buy new because they are bundled to a code for mandatory online modules...
I am extremely concerned about the future of education. Who will teach our kids if we don't overall teacher pay/incentives?
what do you think of (IS) Information Systems?? im not sure if I should take that or pursue ba in marketing :(( im currently an abm student

Could you make a video about animal science more in depth? Im majoring in animal science and it was so sad to see that this degree made into this list :(
Hmmm if demand for that video rises. Stay tuned
switch quickly
I recently graduated with an agriculture degree. Most people majoring in animal science at my school either wanted to work with livestock or companion animals. Most of the companion animal students ended up working zoos or sanctuaries after graduation for little pay. One of those career paths were you really have to love what you do because unfortunately you won't make much money. Much like biology, the livestock side at this point almost always requires further education beyond a bachelor's. Reproductive specialists, feed nutritionists, and extension work fall into this category. Farm and feedlot manager jobs are few and far between. Many people I knew with this degree ended up working at local feed stores, as farm hands (not managers) or went back to their family livestock operation. I'm not saying you can't get a great job as a feed/mineral salesman or farm manager, but you're going to have to work harder to land that job compared to another agriculture degree. Another unfortunate truth is that animal science is somewhat of a dumping ground for former veterinary students that either flunked or became burned out.
My advice to an animal science major:
1. Consider if what career you want needs higher education and if it does, work with an academic advisor on preparing for that advanced degree early on.
2. Consider a different but similar major. Majoring in food science with a concentration in meat science is a great alternative to an animal science major. Another option is majoring in agronomy with a focus on forages and grazing. Or even major in agribusiness and try to get a job in futures trading with grain and livestock.
3. Take as many internships as possible and build a network. Animal science jobs are few and far between and having multiple contacts can give you an advantage over other classmates.
My parting advice is don't get discouraged but get realistic. I wish you good luck in your education.
@@chasecopeland5530 hey I'm also doing agriculture majoring in horticulture. Can you please share your thoughts on horticulture
@@joonsuter9307 horticulture is great. Lots of development in urban and vertical farming. Aquaponics is also an interesting part of the field. Lots of horticulture people start there own business eventually. Be sure to network hard and always look for opportunity.
Engineering and now stem😭
Yup.. they all have some bad apples

Information science major at UIUC, and idk if it’s like this at all universities but my focus is HCI/UX and data science. I’m also a CS minor, I know people tend to think you can only get a job as a librarian but there’s a lot more you can do with the degree.
Good luck
Try making a vid on pure sciences.
BTW great work again.
Thanks, I'll keep that suggestion in mind
Omg I know someone with an exercise science and she was making minimum wage 😨😢 and she trained MEEEEE
yikes 😶
hi. how about MS in construction management? Does it have good job prospect? Lately I have been admitted this program.
can I ask what website you used for seeking the statistics of the stem majors?
Check out bottom of description
I would much rather have a fitness trainer who recommends training that is science-based and isn't going to wreck my body years down the line.
Thanks for watching
That's what Health Science professors are for.
What do you think about Public Health degrees?
I might cover that in the future if demand for it rises
Shane Hummus - The Success GPS yes please!!
A lot of job descriptions list my major as qualifying, but somehow when I apply to them the response is, "You don't meet the minimum requirements." Hmm... ideas why?
Atleast I applied for non college route it's better and much cheaper. I'm switching to tech field though. And after graduation they are gonna help me prepare for certification and after certification they are also gonna coach me how to land a job by giving us insights on how to answer the interview properly.
And I thought that I would not be able to find a job. Wow, exercise science. If there are 16000 people every year going into that, there goes 16000 people getting their bartender jobs. Ouch.
To think that I and others around me dodged those bullets make me really shiver at how close we were to being in debt for the vast majority of our lives. Yikes!
Thank goodness for your videos. Now freshmen and sophomores in college can dodge these bullets Matrix style.
Haha right. I just hope these youngsters plan it well. Thanks for your input Jessica
When it comes to exercise science a lot of ppl do pick that degree cause they want to be physical therapists
Thanks for your input
hey where did u find the list of majors? ty
Check description
hey! i watched some videos of yours but i didnt see you talk about law in any of them, but im still wondering what your opinion is on it. do you think getting a degree in law is worth it?
Stay tuned I might make one for law in the future
Shane Hummus - The Success GPS oh! okay thank you, i'll be looking forward to it :-)
A list for top degrees for international students who want to emigrate to the US would be nice, it is my dream to come the the US so hopefully my degree is on your list (Finance)
Idk why you would want to come here. Things are pretty crazy right now
@@xTheMorbidManic the whole world is pretty crazy right now. I'm hoping when I graduate next year the economy will have recovered and there will be jobs again. I've seen finance graduate jobs paying $15 per hour, this is enough for a middle class lifestyle. I can have my own apartment, and food, and still have savings left over
@Siyang Liu I am learning coding on the side, I'm hoping coding and finance can be a decent combination. For coding I feel like paying for an accredited certificate is a waste of money, I'm better off learning it for cheap, and doing some coding projects making some cool stuff and showing what I can do, rather than showing a certificate
CS would be good. But hang in there I might make a video about that
Heres a new video idea: best stem majors for entrepreneurship?
Hmm. Thanks for suggesting that Joseph
Accounting, computer science, business administration, finance
Where did you find the list of stem majors?
I'm a secondary school teacher, and I have to say it - in many cases, you DO need to specialize. Very few teaching certifications are EC-12. For most prospective teachers, you HAVE to narrow down your grade level and (past a certain grade level) subject.
Teaching Shakespeare to high school seniors and teaching a bunch of Kindergarteners their colors is a world of difference. That's typically why those who teach middle school and high school major in their subject, and minor in education, or else major in one thing then go back and get their teaching certification down the line to teach that thing. Those who teach elementary school are the ones who major in education. I majored in English and minored in secondary education because I don't WANT to teach young kids very basic reading and writing skills. I wanted to teach more complex skills to older students. If I had majored in education, I probably wouldn't have been able to teach the subjects and grade levels I do. I wouldn't have the knowledge or skills.
Secondary and middle school mathematics education is one of the better ranked education degrees on payscale. The problem is that it is an education degree, not the specialization.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Maybe the specialisation is more of the issue. Why not just secondary or middle school education or maths education? Having a degree in teaching kids middle school maths sounds absurd to me. If you are certain you want to be a middle/secondary school teacher in maths, I guess an education degree would suffice. But I agree a maths degree is the best option.
I have a friend who takes primary (elementary) school education so I'm taking her into account.
@@aprilsummers6447 It ranked even with secondary education in mid-career pay and higher in early-career pay and in job satisfaction.
@April Summers it also outranked middle school education in mid-career pay by about 20000.
@@aprilsummers6447 as Shane pointed out, a bachelor's degree isn't necessary for elementary education, so how is this degree more specialized than a math education degree?
Hey, Shane, is Physics a good degree? If yes, what can a physics major do after four years of college looking at how broad physics is?
Thanks for the video it is educative.
yes, for the science part of stem physics is probably the best to get up there with chemistry. It is extremely flexible as you will get great math skills, and youll be seen as having taken one of the hardest degrees.
its not uncommon for physics students to be able to work in finance, tech, and even some engineering roles.
depending where you are you can also very easily take many other specialised graduate degrees following your physics degree which can set you up for data science roles etc.
It's one of the hardest degrees. But generally it's not as good when compared to an engineering degree. Often job recruiters when they hear blank engineering, they know they are getting someone highly skilled. Physics people are also very skilled. But the difference is engineers also know physics but they know how to apply it more realistically. You may often have to compete & get beat out by engineering graduates, which there are more of vs physics graduates
My uncle who is a long time engineer said "The difference between an engineer & a physics major is thy the engineer has a job" I'd do more research if they type of job's you want would take a physics degree as much if they would an engineer degree. But most importantly. NETWORK NETWORK NETWORK

hey shane, what did you major in as an undergrad? also what did u get ur phd in?
Stay tuned. That might be a future content 😁
Hey Shane! What are your thoughts on Environmental Science major and Mathematics as a minor?
I'm from India and I'm hearing about all these "STEM degrees" for the first time
Welcome to my channel 😁
The clip of the Ghanaian pallbearers 😂
haha 🤣
Are you able to do a video on what is the best short degree programs (I.e. 7-week course in Public Policy) that a lot of universities are now offering online (I.e. Facebook). I've already got a Masters in Public Health, but I mainly want to do some upskill training, but I don't want to also invest heavily in doing further studies in Grad degree programs.
Noted your request, I'll see what I could do
@@ShaneHummus thanks I've been looking into some Harvey Kennedy Public Leadership program, but I've also noticed a lot of other universities offering the same course program. I've taken on board your feedback with regards to some of the Liberal Arts colleges and how their content isn't as applicable in the current work environment even though their courses may be cheaper. Many thanks from an Aussie subscribers
Hey Shane! What are your thoughts on physics and economics as a double major?? I am gonna major in it and minor in CS or AI science.
Both are solid. They could work well
There are some peculiar, outright weird degrees out there 😂😂😭
Next we're going to see something like 'toilet science' , and it wouldn't surprise me.
Agreed 😂
9/10 chance bio is in here 😔
Edit: wow first one, rip me lol
@JOHNNY TSIMOGIANNIS haha thanks man, I’m switching my major to biochem actually, so u right
I'm starting university next week and I'm planning to get a math major with a minor in piano performance as a way to grow my music skills as well as be able to get a stable job in the future hehe
Good luck!
Do you regard the Physics major with the TEM part of stem or science? Like in regards to the usefulness of the degree and job opportunity, being sought after and stuff like that.
Physics in general is good
Sorry dude, I comment a lot but I don't give video ideas. I would appreciate some stuff for international students tho 😂
Haha noted Zachary. What aspects do you want me to cover? I might consider that topic in the future
@@ShaneHummus visas, SATs, application, how to stay after your degree

Wow, biology is on the list? I guess I’m doomed 😳
Just plan it out you'll be fine 😁
I agree if this video explain from Statistics but it could be totally different in personal experiences of people in those degree. Some people may get lucky, get hard working/entrepreneurial or get very well networks. But if you a commoner who want a better and easy life because of your degree it best to consider this video. I myself from Biology and in Biology itself i realized that i just excell in ecology related things and because i learning science it not tell you how spesifically to work or to make is only tell you to know and be curious of what you still don’t know. After graduation though i accompanied my mom in her cancer medication and blessed because of Biology degree i can understand about cancer and her medication/nutrition but cancer is a very extreme disease and she was passed away, after that i started search real job and rarely found biology requirement. If i found, it mostly near to biotechnology or chemistry. Luckily now i work as environment officer in forestry industry and very grateful to that. I believe every people has a purpose in this world, if you can find it statistic won’t apply to you. Keep faithful and grateful 😁 don’t be discouraged of statistics. Gbu
