It depends on if you are going into debt for the degree or not, and how much debt. If you're going into a significant amount of debt, it better be for engineering, computer science, etc. Do not do it for a social science. Hell, I would say don't even do it for business/finance.

STEM. Period.

i want to get into STEM but this Community College i'm about to go to says that you need a 75 average on your high school records, and take certain math classes like Pre Calc in high school to take Computer Science, pass Pre Calc or a similar class with ''C'' grade or a 2.5 and for Engineering Science you need a 80 average on your high school records, take Pre Calc in high school, and if you dont meet those requirements i think you can possibly get in on a provisional basis (i dont understand what that means)

edit : the provisional basis thing is also for computer science

If you think you would fail (or close to it), don't major in it :whoa:. If you could maintain a B average, I would say go for it... maybe you could look into biology? Supplementing your course of study with some finance couldn't hurt, either - it would open some more doors for the business side of things.

It's best you go for a degree in something you actually either enjoy or believe that you will excel in. There's no point in you busting your ass to get a degree in something because somebody's telling you it'll pay well only for you to get out of college, work a job in the field and hate it, and end up having wasted years of your life. So it all depends on your interests.

Whatever you can excel in.
I know common knowledge is to not go into social science, but if you can excel at it, you will have no issue getting a job.
There aren't unemployed 4.0s, in any major. Especially not if you're Black.

Do you live in the U.S.??? :dwillhuh: :dahell: :wtf:


Unemployment may not be so bad at the moment, as it was even just a year or two ago, but that's to say nothing of underemployment, especially for Black college grads.

In order:

Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Pre Medecine/Health, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Math(BS only) Pure Math, Physics, Accounting (CPA).

If you go to a top 25 school, major in economics or political science or some shyt. Your network will take care of the rest.

This is not good advice. OP, do not bet on this
