Is accounting a meme major? I'm a senior in HS and I'm looking into majors. I'm not smart enough to do STEM, and I'm semi interested in accounting and good with numbers, just not high level math such as calculus. Everything will be paid for, and if I go to grad school that will be paid for also. I was also thinking about doing economics but I heard that's a hit or miss.

The good thing about accounting is that you can work remotely while making a decent salary. It's like being a 1/2 neet

Accounting is comfy and you can get a pretty good salary, specially if you land in a big company or some shit. I majored in economics and a friend of mine majored accounting. Accounting majors have a lot easier time landing Corporate jobs

Quantitative finance
Finance in general. Don't be an idiot and do accounting. If you want to make money, do finance and specialize in real estate. My family is worth 100 million doing real estate. We don't pay taxes because of the tax sheltering nature of real estate, the government actually owes us money. Only idiots pay taxes. Rich people figure out how to tax shelter their money LEGALLY.

That's what I'd like to do, I plan on living with parents, saving 99% of my income and investing all of it. I used to be a NEET for a year and I miss it. I will be able to retire very quickly at a young age and live a sustainable NEETdom alone.

Accounting is literally one of the best majors. One of the very few majors outside of engineering that you will almost always find a job with, without grad school.

All the accounting majors at my school landed paid internships during their senior year that rolled into full-time high-paying jobs. Accounting is a solid major if you can tolerate it. Personally I hate it.

Be an actuary. You do complicated but not hard math, make like $70k starting out, study for tests and pass them to get raise and promotion. No stress if you don't hate math, get sent to Hawaii and San Diego for conferences.

You know all that "elsagate" stuff on youtube? That's apparently some computers shitting out scripts/animations based on viewing keywords/what kids watch.

Sure, the actual actors are human, but they follow a script that was generated. Evidently, it makes money, because there were enough of these videos to warrant outcry.

Finance is also more challenging. Accounting is great imo, a lot comfier than finance with huge potential all the same. If I wasn't a greedy degenerate I'd have gone into accounting a couple years ago.

Wrong. This brainlet has MAYBE taken an entry level accounting course. AI can automate the H and R cucks job but not much beyond that. Not to mention we are in fucking biz. The blockchain is going to completely change accounting in <20 years.

Spent the last 15 mins reading about mining. i like the idea of mining a few million each of new coins and just holding because that's what I did with dogecoin and a few others way back and it generally paid off really nicely.

I have a GTX 1080 I'm not using (not a gamer). What's some decent mining software that'll cover a good chunk of new or somewhat new coins these days?
