When people say “major in STEM” they really mean CS and engineering.

Tbh


Most people aren’t smart enough to pass or even get into grad school so bio, chem, physics, and math majors are out for most of them.

A lot most likely couldn’t cut it in med school.


I’m not saying this to say other majors are better or worse. Just that “STEM” isn’t the automatic answer everyone thinks it is.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Engineering is dope though

You don't even need to do CS. Im just doing it for the fukk of it now

 

[KOohbt]

As if CS and engineering are easy

nikkas wtf

 

[Colin X]

nikkas wtf

Well no shyt

But the other STEM fields don’t have nearly as many jobs, and require more to get the jobs they have.

At no point did I say CS and engineering are easy

Yup. I'm not even sure what kind of profession an advanced math degree or biochem degree would land you in besides teaching.

Wtf do physicists or chemists (non-engineers) do? If not teach?

Make medicine?

Honestly they do shyt you wouldn't even think about.

Any lab type job they gonna get paid big.

Just a lot of bullshyt to go along with it. If they get them a Top Secret clearance them nikkas gonna be working at CDC's and nasa and shyt

Math degree is the only one im about but most scientists are great at math regardless.

Most people in STEM are great at math

Wall street always looking for quants/quantitative analysts especially when it comes to algorithms and derivatives , I'm not saying it's completely widespread but if you're exceptionally good then you will be in high demand.

Research and development is a pretty big field.

With advanced math, you could get a really well paid (multiple 6 figure) job in finance or cryptography (for pure math). Private sector security jobs are booming. Interestingly, the largest employer of pure mathematicians in the US and UK (and likely many other countries) are intel agencies.

Idk about the natural sciences though. Only thing I could think of for chemists would be working for food companies like Nestle or something, but that might be more for chemical engineers.

I'm a CS junior myself. Made $35/hr + $1k/month last summer as an intern. About to start another internship $45/hr + $1k/month this time

I majored in applied math, and I work in finance. Math is one of those majors that enables you to do pretty much anything.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

You cats are bugging sleeping on math majors. Wall Street is right around the corner and those S&T positions are making crazy money.

I remember there was this multi billion dollar hedge fund named Indus capital, they came to the university and was offering math majors signing bonuses out the ass.

Shyt was sad that all of them were cacs and Asians.

A chem degree can land you in some very profitable gigs. Med research, creating artificially flavored foods and drinks, making cosmetics, etc.

Physicist also can do a lot. Work for Lockheed, Boeing, the gov. My friend’s brother used his physics degree to get a job at NASA, as a literal rocket scientist.

I've noticed a lot of math and math heavy majors (like physics) undergrads excelling in software engineering and other fields. It seems the rigorous logic you learn in math really does teach you how to learn, which is transferable to any field.

Sidenote: Coli really has a lot of STEM majors. Great to see

basics..i have nothing but respect for anyone who graduates with a math degree..the track for that is no fukking joke

Math majors getting that bag on Wall Street
