Good majors besides STEM

[Balla]

I'm not about that stem life, and I'm not even gonna waste my time. Im trash at math.

What are other majors that can give you a good paying career/ or at least some type of good paying job.

I literally have no clue cuz all I hear is stem.

I was actually just thinking this. I'm already in school tho, you have any recommendations on a useful degree just to have that I can use if need be?

Law - become a lawyer and you can argue for a living (create arguments "scientifically" but you get it )

But if you are in school and in your early 20s...don't rush. There are way more years on this side of college then you realize. Do something that you love. Don't chase "stem" or "money"...find what you want to do and figure out how much money you can make and live within your means. Make it so you never "work" a day in your life because you are making money doing something you enjoy

Lol I'm good with everything else besides math and science. And I heard with that, you can't make any money.

if you want a good paying job (outside of STEM) you gonna probably need a Master's degree (or some other graduate studies).


Psychology, Social Work, Teaching, Business, Law, etc.

all pay well, but not at the Bachelor's level.

Blatant defeatism. Shameful. If you're not that confident about your mathematical skills consider majors such as GIS or Information Science. Not quite as intensive as the more commonly recommended STEM majors, but both have good job prospects/salaries. Examples: Geographers : Occupational Outlook Handbook: : U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and
Cartographers and Photogrammetrists : Occupational Outlook Handbook: : U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. If you're really fixated on not wanting to go anywhere near STEM majors, consider the more hands-on routes.

I wish bro, I wish I was just saying this because I was lazy, I tried bro, and I ended up wasting a lot of time trying a major I couldn't do.

But thanks for the advice.

U think MBA is good?

You think it's worth the extra money to get it? Because unheard you have to go to the top schools for your masters and it costs bread.

If that's the only way then I'll do it.

When u say hands on, do you mean trade schools or other majors ?

Listen. My homie said he was gonna go into the highest paying field. He found it was petroleum engineering. Gas companies will pay you shyt tons. Find out what courses you need, my homie wasnt the smartest dude but he had a plan and hes currently in Houston working for gas companies making high 6 figures

HVAC

Median Income is about $45k w/Bachelor's

I know a couple cats making >$70k and you're NOT required to work in the field doing installs.​

 

[Balla]

How did he pass the math courses ? He might have been good at it.

From what I hear you can't bs in stem at all and have to put work in.
