crime. we need more dirty crypto detectives.

how do people that use "unironically" like this get into college in the first place?

>>27975120
Depends on what you want in life

STEM major

>>27975120
Crochet

>>27975120
Something that will get you big $$ to spend on crypto

i did a major in comp sci which was ok but also I could've done it all on my own. so I regret not doing a double major in something like philosophy or math

>>27975120
management

>>27975120
womens studies, black history major

>>27975367
Math/Phil or CS/Phil is what I would do if I could do it all over again

Study what motivates you, anon. Disregard >>27975230 because the market's already stuffed with halfway decent STEM majors and the vast majority of them are miserable. What society needs these days are, in fact, musicians, artists, poets and dreamers. Pretty gay, but it's the truth of things since the STEM meme drew tons of white guys away from fields that actually aid culture in some tangible way. So again, I'd say you should go into what you love, and I guarantee you'll find a job in that field when you leave - it might not be an $80k/yr job, but that's what Crypto's for, yeah?

Heck, get a History degree. Working as a curator at the museum is pretty great.

couldn't agree more

I have a tip for you
don’t follow this scam that they try to sell on this thread
if you want to use good tools and bots for trading you must check Bot Ocean
Thank me later, boy

Do nursing RN, work three days a week make big money buy crypto.

>>27975519
This is true. Everyone saying otherwise is falling for a Jewish conspiracy. The kikes want you to just work all day and never question anything. Taking back our culture is a big step in defeating the jew.

College is a bigger scam than any shitcoin shilled on this board.
Go into a trade, you make money from the start, have no college tuition debt, and will be able to start your own business (if you want) before you turn 30.

>>27975964
This desu OR go into pharmacy. If you're overwhelmed, work retail pharmacy for a year and you'll learn just about everything. Chances are techs will be replaced, but actual pharmacists will be safe from automation.

>>27975120
College is a meme. Don't get suckered into debt when you're 18. Unless what you want to do actually requires schooling (med, law, etc) you're better off self teaching. It's never been easier to learn everything about anything from anywhere.

this dude is a huge fucking cuck

study CS, then self-study through summer and this semester to get as many internships as you can and eventually work for a top tier company. it's literally the only good STEM major and will let you become financially independent in your 30s by waging
other STEM majors are jokes that seem useful because of the STEM meme, especially pure sciences and math, but in reality people who major in this shit need to be geniuses or will end up having to do consulting (which sucks but at least pays decently) or something entirely different

If you're an unironic genius or going to ivy league or already rich then study some cool shit like history, poly sci, philosophy.

Otherwise difficult fundamental STEM degrees open a lot of doors.
EE, ME, Physics, Math, comp sci,.

Stay away from Bio, Chem, and finance/accounting unless you really find those interesting or willing to do grad school.

Don't be a pre-med dropout bio degree bag holder

>>27979754
generally true but i sincerely don't think physics or math are good majors unless you explicitly want to do a phd for some fucking stupid reason or are okay with working in finance or consulting. i have friends who went to top 5 schools, majored in physics and math, and now are working odd jobs because there are no jobs for a fucking bachelors degree in physics

>>27975519
It's ballsy but not a bad plan if you are truly motivated and show potential in your field.

>>27979821
>now are working odd jobs because there are no jobs for a fucking bachelors degree in physics

I have a friend who has one. He teaches high school physics in the ghetto and just got ass raped on GME. I think chemistry would be better, at least with that you could get decent work in manufacturing.

>>27979915
>teaches high school physics
that's what i'm saying, there are literally no good jobs for pure science majors. NO ONE should be a fucking high school teacher, unless you're literally teaching for a top 100 in the world public school or a super good private school.

Secondary ed. I hear you get to color things.

>teaches high school physics

chemistry is _okay_ but its a field you have to actually love because it is hard as fuck and a significant amount of bullshit memorization. even then, with only a bachelors you are almost destined to be a high school teacher

I did cognitive science with a specialization in computing. I do UX and full stack web dev. V. Chill

>>27980032
>unless you're literally teaching for a top 100 in the world public school

I went to one. I think it was rank #60 or so in the US. So, of course, that made teaching seem like a great job. A lot of my peers went into it and most of them are getting rekt in some poverty stricken shithole.

>>27979821
That's a good point. My only friend who made it in Physics alone is getting his phd. Everyone else I know went into some unrelated shit. Consulting, real estate, software

Comfy thread OP, im neet and have more money than if I didn't drop out of highschool. life's pretty cruel(cool) like that.

>>27975120
Doesn't matter. Out in the real world it's mostly who you know, not what you studied. There are CEOs with a Bachelor of Arts. Of course the higher you go the more important it gets to have some decent credentials, but you'll find there are a whole lot of really incompetent people at all levels of virtually any organization and they get there just by having good people skills. Work on your ability to network and schmooze people and your major might as well be irrelevant.

>>27980076
you unironically need to work for FAANG or the tier under them to make money anon. all the mom and pop small software companies pay like shit, except the ones with promise which are incredibly selective
certifications are a meme btw, i literally know nothing about them and had a job making 160k out of college

>>27975519
this is actually good advice

t. miserable mechanical engineer

>>27980160
maybe
more seriously there are just no entry level jobs. every role wants someone with experience who can immediately hit the ground running. ive seen 1 grad position in 6 months.

>>27980174
yes or a name change. having the most anglo sounding name possible is quite the detriment i feel.

>>27980217
lie about it

>>27980126
yikes yeah that will fuck with your perception for sure
honestly though if your teacher friends don't have anchors weighing them down to the US they should look for overseas teaching jobs. Japan pays well for foreign English teachers and is a pretty fun country to live in semi-permanently (definitely not permanently though, you will never fully integrate or be accepted into Japanese society and America sucks but is probably the place with best opportunity for riches if you have capital and are smart)

>>27975120
I study German and it's amazing. I live in a smol country next to Germany, so there's great job opportunities both in companies and government.

My best advice is to look up unemployment and salary statistics instead of trusting rumors from retards. And consider double majoring in to wildly different things, companies e.g. love humanities majors who can program.

>>27980482
genuinely curious, what's your contingency plan when machine learning advances enough to make translation completely a thing of the past? because that day is coming in the next decade.

there'd still be work in hospitality positions where two languages are in demand. see a lot of that in places like japan or europe where native language + english can easily get you jobs

>>27975120
I know "do what you love" has a bad rep nowadays, but it really is the way to go if you're passionate about something. The top 5-10% of any field can generally find some way to support themselves with their chosen major (although there are still some majors like fine arts that will never make huge money, but that's okay). I have an acquaintance with a medieval studies degree that now writes novels, and a architect friend that is actually making pretty good money at a firm in montreal, living the yuppie dream.
Personally, I fell for the STEM meme. First degree was biochem, which was rewarding but ultimately not worth it. I am currently back in school for comp sci but I can already see the same signs of oversaturation that hit life sciences fifteen years ago. Yes the tech industry is a growth industry, but a lot of that growth is a bubble and it doesn't mean that every bootcamp cooder will get a job. Lots of my mediocre classmates have struggled to find work.
If you passionate about something (have done it with a reasonable degree of intensity and interest for >5 years), major in that.
If you don't have a passion and are high IQ, either do CS or learn solidity/haskell/caml and write smart contracts or make a shitcoin.
If you are low IQ, do a commerce/business or IT degree.

>>27980731
>I am currently back in school for comp sci but I can already see the same signs of oversaturation that hit life sciences fifteen years ago
i don't disagree that we are in a bubble of sorts, but the difference is that with tech you have very low overhead and startup costs, not nearly the same for life sciences. tech has plenty of room to grow and absorb other industries that are not yet fully integrated. i mean in some ways blockchain is an example of this with tech and finance

>>27980894
>a "musician" plays an instrument
and they still make jack shit, do your research

>>27975120
>>27975230
Even then, the only part of STEM that really counts is the Tech & Engineering that go hand in hand. Science & Mathematics won't get you high paying jobs unless you stay in academia and if you want to do math then just do accounting and work for a firm that specializes in analyzing fraud.

>>27980600
Translation is maybe 10% of what German majors do. And even if we assume you were right, it would still be easy to transition into a similar career with years of experience.

>>27981032
>Translation is maybe 10% of what German majors do
what's the other 90%? sounds like you're happy anon, i'm happy for you

Is environmental science a meme degree, I kinda wanna get an associate's in that and then go into waster water treatment and park service eventually

>>27975367
You can do philosophy even better on your own though. In fact, studying philosophy at a university will likely hamper your understanding of it.

there couldn't be a more retarded take.
you are on /biz/ ffs, and crypto is an obvious example of how a highly technical invention can affect global culture.
"""creatives""" can whine about privacy and rights or whatever all they want, while a team of stem enthusiasts can spawn revolutionary tech like Monero, taking tangible steps towards privacy. Not urging you to buy XMR, but the project is very smart and relevant.

>>27981375
>enjoy all the amazing pussy at that age while you can
absolutely based, i wish i had dated less in college and fucked around more... still got a decent body count but pussy just gets worse and worse as you age

>>27975120
Depends on where you live and if you're rich.
If you're a poor burger and you want to go to college you need to bring home the bacon afterwards, so probably STEM or something like that. It has to be something that pays well. If you're a rich burger or just live in a country that's slightly less zogged you can study whatever interests you.

>>27975120

In businesses it's a mix of communication, marketing and sales. Shit like finding potential B2B customers in Germany, updating the company's website and social media, negotiating with suppliers, adjusting a marketing campaign to work better in German-speaking countries, etc.
In gubment it's all sorts of random shit.
And some people get weird jobs, I know one chick who gets paid to "research" the German book market for a publisher... her day job is reading modern German literature and trying to find out if any of it would sell well here if it was translated.
