Do i go for bachelor degree for finance or economics?

*this year

Reject education, it's automated now.

youll be unemployable unless you go to MIT/caltech/HPY

math is more enjoyable. physics is gay

trades are up now that AI is taking over.

nurses make fucking BANK nowdays I dont even know how they can complain, I see job postings constantly for like 2.5k a week and they're hiring en masse.

if I was 20 again I'd join military to get school paid for, work in medicine/tech so I dont see combat, get a job in aviation or nursing after.

You could even go into law enforcement afterwards, easily, become a detective and make 150k a year putting minorities in jail.

just have rich parents, it's that easy!

how much is your dignity worth to scrape boomers shit and piss out of their ass and bedpans while they are uncooperative and stubborn - its no wonder they have to import and trick people from foreign nations to come and be nurses and elder care workers

I have two bs's in math and physics and I can't find a job

I'm 25 and I don't know what I'm supposed to being doing in life
I'm currently doing a biology bachelor but I'm not enjoying it and the future looks fucking horrible, I like cities so I've been looking into urban planning and civil engineering. The former is easier and takes less time, but the pay isn't as good as en engineer (I got HARD filtered by engineering when I was 20 )

There's also logistics which is cool and I don't think manufacturing or logistics will ever deal with a recession, but I have no idea what degree to get for that

Guess I'll rot until I'm 30 then kill myself

OK. So what will you do? All the cool jobs are being taken over by AI. It's either that or breaking your back picking up fruit or constructing.

everything they teach you in modern economics is wrong. EVERYTHING

civil engineering

do this, you can be a super powered general contractor if you do and tell inspectors to fuck off. get into high end single family home construction and you can make a killing.

entirely depends what you want to actually do.

Do economics if you want to be a spreadsheet nerd who looks at the whole economy. Accept that either you're going to be going down the academic track and going to grad school to learn statistics for years just to become a IMF/WB jobbie (and the salary of such) or quit after undergrad/grad school and abandon the field or become a public sector practitioner on a public sector salary but be stuck in policy forever.

Do finance if you want to dip out after undergrad or just dick about before cracking down in grad. Sales people in finance don't need too much theory but a mathematical background helps. Do whatever internships you can and network. Work is hell but the pay ceiling is high.

If you want to be a quant guy who cranks out numbers, best method is a maths degree focusing on applied mathematics and statistics (an econometrics heavy econ degree or maths heavy finance degree can be ok, but check course content) then go into a financial mathematics masters (and potentially further depending on what you need for a career). Starting pay is insane, hours are still nasty but not as bad as some other specialities.

>just have rich parents, it's that easy!

didn't say it was easy, but wanted to let everyone know what the score is. econ >>> finance for top finance. we don't even have a finance or nursing major actually. no engineering either. you study math/physics/chem then go to grad school, etc

imagine being in 2025 and worrying about a job lmao

what are your thoughts on the earthquake/typhoon/flood resilience side of civil eng?

I was just stating facts.

earthquake/typhoon/flood resilience side of civil eng?

only give a fuck about hurricane, the building boom never stops in florida. throw some filled cells and solid pour tie beams on that fucker.

Can i really not get a job if I take econs?

did nips really leap to they're deths because line pointed down somewhat?

you are not supposed to look for a job with a bsc only. unless its to be a school teacher

only give a fuck about hurricane, the building boom never stops in florida. throw some filled cells and solid pour tie beams on that fucker.

I ask because I'm considering a master's in it at a taiwan uni, if I get laid off
mdr3.ntu.edu.tw

2 year master's. chill in taipei. hopefully don't get invaded uber violently

As what? You won't get a job in finance, they hire people with finance majors for that. You won't get a job as an economist, they hire people with masters for that. If you're lucky, you'll be able to get a job in something like marketing or operations with people who are like 15 IQ points below you and are amazed at how every task they give you is easy for you but you have 0 motivation. You can parlay that into a back office role that's a bit less retarded, like pricing, since you have an econ degree. If you learn to code you might be able to get some kind of data scientist analytics type job but idk how AI is affecting that job market so ymmv. If you want to work in banking, just get a finance degree.

t. econ major

?? Not everyone has rich parents.

this
math majors are set for life
everyone is impressed by math majors

I dunno. I want to get a job and then go back to school, that was the plan. Guess I should just kill myself
This is true. I constantly impress people by saying I majored in math even though I don't feel like I deserve that impression

i was two semesters away from finishing my math degree and then my parents cut support, i became homeless, and had to leave the state to survive because temperatures got too high lmao

too bad you have to sell your organs or go into massive debt to do school. i fucking wish i could do a masters, i cant even finish my bs for at least a year since i have to wait for in state tuition to kick in and i have to save up a boat load

maths is more than just money, it actually feels meaningful what you learn at least to me.

i graduated with a bs in math a decade ago. no one cares. kek. i had to go back to school for a masters in accounting to get a job.

ya my buddy can hardly get a job with "just" a top math major. I do believe it either needs a focus or to be paired with something (that something can be connections/social skill)

a bunch of minorities from University of Chicago

Yes this is very representative of the average economics undergrad, I'm sure OP meant he was deciding between econ at chicago or finance at upenn

masters in accounting to get a job

Is Accounting a good field?

if you're entry level it's tough due to pajeet outsourcing. i'm a manager and the job market is tough.

>just have rich parents, it's that easy!

So you want to fail, but have an excuse to blame someone?
Congrats anon, welcome to your shit life, its not your fault

lmao, AI is going to do all maths for people very soon. You will be obsolete because of AI computer math.

if you're entry level it's tough due to pajeet outsourcing

Isn't this true for every field? Besides something like nursing or MD...I'm trying to pick a major to study at WGU and it seems Accounting is the only worthwhile path.

if you're smart you'll take your accounting background and go into something like equity research that's less grinding than accounting proper but still values the background

World runs if finance, but econ really helped me better grasp logic and the world and helped me retire at age 34. All my Econ bros are living easy lives, absolute slacker degree / life.

dude, just be an autist

EVERY mathematician I've knows suffers from some form of depression

UMMM BOOTSTRAPS

It's 2025 that's not going to work on anyone.

hes not wrong. just surviving on single income is hard nowadays if ur at the bottom of the barrel. how the fuck are you supposed to afford college? if your parents support you through it you live life on easy mode

EE
You want to be an engineer when the age of automatisation begins.

National Taiwan University has a glorious history. Asia's first nuclear impact experiment happened here, but your two-year master's degree won't help you get a job. Don't do a master's degree in Asia. The master's degree from the University of Tokyo may be the best in Asia but it has become a target for chinks.

Both courses are gay and retarded. Do a maffs degree and specialise in finance.

does your answer change if I'm already in low 7 figures and open to starting up a consultancy afterwards?

Part of why I didn't pull the trigger yet is
1. Not laid off
2. Didn't have a clear sense from the director what the field even is. If it's just a bunch of SEA locals attending and then going back home to work for gov't with no whiteys allowed

Maybe I should just do USA again or EU now that I got the citizenship. wonder if I'm entitled to any cheap/free school.

I would consider USA law school. I just want out of tech work, at least the eng side. just an awful lifestyle regardless of pay

7 figures

want out of tech work

nigga why do you even need to work at all with that level of income? i cant imagine it would take more than like 2 years to retire lol

I'm not about to rush out the door and I will need something to do with my time for the next 30+yr. the work sort of sucks the soul out of your life. can't really explain it

Taking a light, but flexible, client load as a therapist/lawyer/engineering consultant/whatever sounds comfy. it's that or open a kickboxing gym, build a SaaS prodcut (gay), or get to the drawing board

My answer is still don't go to university in Asia. It sounds very embarrassing for a white man to have a master's degree from an Asian country. A bachelor's degree from National Taiwan University has some value because even foreign students with admission privileges cannot graduate easily. Master's and PhD degrees are purely for Taiwanese locals to find jobs and will 'absolutely' not be helpful to you. If you can, you should go to a good university in the United States or Western Europe to study for a master's degree. If you want to go to National Taiwan University, I also wish you good luck (because it was a Japanese-run university and left many beautiful elements)

I appreciate the detailed opinion. I'm not dead set on it. Just sounded like a neat program in a comfy area of town I could see doing for 2yr.

but I also realize I'm early 30s and don't have infinite time to F around, especially if I DO want a real career switch at some point and have the power level to get a good LSAT or GMAT
