I’m graduating this week and I need to get a job. What skill can I learn in the next month or 3 months that will get me a high paying job? Would Solidity be best or data science? Or something else?

I’m a physics major, but I have no actual technical skills. I’m very good at math though.

Stay away from data science. Way overhyped.
Go for cloud solutions architect or cybersecurity. Both have certs that pay big money if you pass, which isn't even that hard. Both pay well and are growing in demand.
Another option is something to do with 5g or IoT, assuming these play out and are not also overhyped.

are you seriously asking if solidity would be good to learn for getting a job? fucking kek. anon....no. nobody is interesting in hiring devs with solidity experience. that's a 2017 meme. we use solidity cause we're crypto nerds and we like too, not because it's a marketable job skill.

I agree, but I’m not looking to make a career in any of these positions. I just need a nice job for a year or two so I have a good flow of income, so I can build up enough money to take on some other projects I want to do.

I just frankly care about whatever tech position has the lowest barrier of entry for me to get into. Do you still a cloud training architect is the best path for that? I gotta pay for these certs to take the exam right?

It is becoming increasingly uncommon for IT professionals to not have a degree in computer science and not understand software development. Software development isn't some dream job, it's what you make it like any other job.
There is plenty of opportunity in other fields like medical, business and other STEM fields (lots in engineering, especially petroleum/geographic/civil).
Expounding on my point earlier, the leader of cisco has basically said that Devops and "hybrid IT developers" are the future of programming.
