Richest majors?

I'm a math major and I was going to switch to computer science but my friend told me that there are like a million computer science majors and that I should minor in stats instead
Youtube
Philosophy
Yea CS seems oversaturated as fuck. If you gratuated like 5-10 years ago you're fine but going into CS in 2020? Seems risky af to me.
t. CS major

If you were me now what would you go into then?
anything related to the arts, have you seen how much those pop stars, actors and famous artists in general get paid?
Jewish studies
don't do cs
it's over
i did it

Medicine is just wagieing of the upper middle class. If you put the effort and skills needed to become a high-paid doctor into anything else you would be 10x richer.
Welding
Deep sea welding
There is more demand for software engineers than ever before, if anything there will be more demand in the next 5 years.
Gender studies. The future is queer
Take the air traffic controller test out of high school. You'll be making 6 figures before you're old enough to drink.
>my friend told me
You made a possibly life changing decision based on this...
Pharmacy is pretty lucrative while comfy. I make sure my wagies put the right pill in the bottle and I give a bunch flu shots during Fall. I'm set to make close to $200k by the end of this year after working an average of 50 hours per week. I'm gonna milk this until AI takes over my job.

>tfw autistic, but not autistic enough to be good at programming.
What jobs should I look at specializing in?
And the price of Bitcoin will never go over $1
OP, follow your strengths, find something you will at least enjoy, and apply yourself.
history is all you need to learn to do anything. Otherwise, math is the next best one. DO NOT waste your time on useless shit like business,economics, psychology or any other social science
Doctors live longer. It’s also good for your lifespan.
yeah but don't you have to spend all those hours in a walgreens? i mean, imagine how much walgreens christmas music you have to listen to while working under bright flourescent lights and being video taped so you don't steal drugs. i would probably neck myself
Why is economics a waste of time? Won’t it make me a millionaire?
He goes to an ivy and he's basically always right about this kind of stuff
>no math
Learn to ask "Would you like fries with that?"
I don't work for Walgreens or CVS. Those companies are shit.
And it's incredibly easy to steal drugs as long as they're not controlled. Not worth it in the off chance I get caught though. I've stolen a bottle of Viagra before a vacation to Asia once lol

>I would do stats with a minor in CS. There's so much data waiting to be analyzed.
Wow, actual relevant advice.
Only problem is that it requires innate aptitude. That's what they are testing for. If OP has it, though, yeah, they really do make solid money and their career is a 100% secure government job. *
* as long as they don't get drunk on duty and fall asleep, leaving everyone in the airspace to fend for themselves, which one alkie bitch did last year
Accounting. But you won't make great money
Listen to me OP. I just finished shadowing Standford MBAs and McKinsey advisors for a year. Interfaced with a lot of high-level, high-paid investment bankers, doctors, and technocrats. DO NOT study something to 'get rich.' The reality of pursuing something like CS or medicine to become rich as these anons suggest is a brutal grind which you will probably not finish unless you are well-networked and politically astute or autistic and hopelessly in love with the field. Even people who love the field do not make it because they do not have the political savvy to navigate their career climb and maximize earnings. For the most part, even when you reach the top, you are nothing but a glorified employee running on a golden hamster wheel for the true rich. Medicine caps at between $700k to 1mil, and that means 100 hour work weeks well into retirement age around late forties/early fifties.
What I suggest to you if you are not from a well connected family with a network and able to attend the ivy league is this,
GO MILITARY.
Seriously. I wish I would have done this.
Do it while you're young. Commit to a basic five year contract. Airforce or Navy (or Army depending on what interests you.) Serve your time. You'll save up some bank. In your off-time, apply yourself to learning about business, finance, or whatever interests you.
When your contract is up, enroll in college. The military will pay you to go to school. Study whatever interests you. I recommend engineering, economics, or something related to today's major industries but the arts are okay also. DO WELL. You'll have no excuses because the military pays your tuition, rent, and gives you some fun money.
When you graduate with a 4.0 GPA or something close to that, you'll be 23-24 with work history.... perfect age to apply to a masters or grad program (which will raise your earning potential) or start working or re-enlist and earn much more than your peers straight out of college.
If you calculate doctor income as an hourly wage it's not great. They also do call which often means working 24 hours straight or more. The job consumes your whole life and the doctors that try to maintain a lifestyle outside of work take home as much as a teacher or nurse
No, topkek
Economics will make sure that you are never poor. That's it. Most people who understand it go on to be academics making 200k TOPS. Same salary for central bank and economic researcher at any top tech company. You will peak at 200k
The problem with economics is, that if teachers would be right, they would be the richest people in the world. The other problem is, that most of them think, that Keynes was right. If they would teach Austrian economics, it could be viable.
This. And yeah if you're a fuckup then of course you'll get canned. Also no drugs (not just weed. If you were ever on psychological shit you're prob not going to qualify through the physical)
The nice thing is, take the test. It costs $0, is 8 hours of your life, and if you pass it you open up a wonderful career that still has pension, benefits, and depending on where you work, pretty cushy. There's crazy places like NYTracon or SoCAL, but there's also tiny ass bullshit towers like MMU that do next to nothing and still break $80k/year.
Where you want to go in this career is entirely up to you too. And if you don't like it, then you can do school on the side while still making bank. You'll still be ridiculously more better off than anyone who went to college right out the gate (again, if you have the brains/concentration for it)
Continuing this post...
If you go masters or grad, the military will pay. It will raise your earning potential. Also, you'll have the benefit of the alumni network, wherever you attended... No debt because military paid for everything. You might even have savings because during the time in, you invested in your money in tech stocks like TSLA, Amazon, etc...
Now say you finish your program with a masters in economics, you're 27yo, and the first position you land is working for a hedge fund making $180k to 300k base pay plus commission. You have zero debt. You're basically free. You can build and start businesses. Do whatever you want. Fuck expensive hookers in your free-time. Who cares.
That's my advice to you. Seriously look into it.
