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

Being a lab rat doesn’t pay unless you got a PhD.

My boy just got his in Biomedial Research and is looking to make 130K. After years of hunger, a shytty Corolla and commuting, he finally made it.

If you couple math with a practical application like excel, SAP, Oracle and the like you can get good paying jobs. Stat, analysts, programming, corporate strategy and planning.

I've seen it often.

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 :wow:
fukk fukk fukk you man

This is some bullshyt!!


Man I should've changed my fukking major 3.5 years ago fukk all you bytches bragging online !!!!

:troll: put them paystub pics so we know you ain't fooling

I'm not a fraud :russ:

And I shamelessly brag in hopes of getting more black people in the field. Not nearly enough of us.

We're so creative, too. We make every platform like Vine, Instagram etc pop off.
Imagine combined with software engineering skills how many Zuckerbergs we could have :ohhh:

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 :patrice:about but most scientists are great at math regardless.

Most people in STEM are great at math
A math degree is still good in accounting and being an actuary. Just have to get certified.

I'm a fellow CompSci breh what kinda programming do you do. I'm only on my second semester of JAVA but I plan to self study some Front end Web Dev stuff on my own like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript during the summer and then focus on my resume and a portfolio to hopefully get an Internship the following summer

Internship wise, I did C++ desktop applications last year. Next internship I'm doing mobile stuff. Android and iOS cross platform stuff (Xamarin, React Native). I have some personal mobile development projects. Most my coursework is in C++.

This where I’m trying to get, I just finished my first semester for programming and trying to get to a level where I can get an internship and start stacking a bit.

Philly bouls, Trust the Process
I wouldn't really say that's why though, I know tons of CS and engineering brehs who are straight up geniuses and would kill it in anything, but those other majors aren't quite as enticing as CS and engineering are these days

The CS and engineering kids I know are also smarter than the med school kids on the average :manny:

Dang that much just for C++ :wow:

I can't wait to finish school. I wanna get on the mobile wave :wow:

The only iffy majors in STEM to me are physics, chemistry, biology, and biomedical engineering. And their only iffy because I’m ignorant of the career paths attached to those majors with a straight up bachelors. I was a EE, but I mostly do programming related stuff now. Should have been a CS major :snoop:. Math is pretty versatile too, but the most successful folks I see get Masters and/or a PhD. If you can do math, you can do anything.
