This is for those of you aspiring to enter the Finance sector
Bsc in Finance
Business Analytics
Economics and Finance/Mathematics
Economics and Information systems
Banking and Finance
Finance and Business administration
Finance and marketing
Accountancy and Banking
Banking and statistics

Masters in
Financial Engineering

You need to be proficient in coding though (Not simply fluent)
(Python & Java at the bare minimum).
To be considered, you have to at least get a 1st Honour/2nd Upper degree.

If you are planning to enter Goldman Sachs/JP Morgan, you have to intern under them if you want to make the cut (Preferably during your 2nd year through to your 3rd year).

Bro, I'm TELLING you. you do NOT need college to make money. All you need is knowledge. I have a buddy of mine that was SOOO into magnets and electricity when he was a kid. He read through the enyclopedia/wiki and the IEEE - non stop learning and he never spent one single day in college. He got hired by GE as a lead engineer making bank.

Right now you can do the EXACT same thing in any field and I'm going to be honest w you. Coding, do coding. It's fucking SIMPLE once you get it down, you can be a web dev doing mundane easy ass shit for 30-50k a year. You don't even need a degree - dead ass. Just take free lessons online. I learned coding on freecodecamp, I havent even finished it but I'm already working - and i'm working remotely where ever I want whenever I want. It only took me 4 months to get it down. Trust me dude - fuck college, acquire knowledge by any means other than paying for it - because its here freely on the internet.

My dad didn't finish high school and cleared 260K last year. You don't need (((education))) to make money. You just have to be able to run a business.

Even if you choose to get a degree, (I'm studying Civil Engineering at a top 5 engineering school for almost free), you won't make any real money unless you start a business. I'm starting a builder-architect firm w/ my father. Given our access to capital and clients & contacts from the current business, we should clear 250-300K+ the first year easily.

A wagecuck would need to work his whole life to have a shot of earning 200K+ annually and I'll be there in 2-3 years.

All in all. Remember that College ISN'T for a degree. You actually WANT to learn skills that you are going to use in practice. Try to get as much out of your education as possible. You're paying for it.

This is usually what divides successful people from failures. A lot of people just do the bare minimum to get a degree. These people fail in life. If you use your education as a genuine platform to hone your own skills and combine it with entrepreneurship you'll get on top.

>What are some good college degrees to make $

Look at what employment rates, median income etc. is for various majors 5, 10, 15, 20 years out.

Also - oil exploration related degrees make money now. Is that going to be paying money in 20-25 years? Probably not. By that time it will probably be cheaper to install solar panels and wind turbines then to drill for oil and transport it thousands of miles.

Also, if CS pays very well, but you really love EE, and both have decent employment/pay - then go for EE. A happy EE major will tend to make more than an unhappy CS major.

Of course it has a limit, if you love dancing or painting or playing the violin, that won't hack it. People will probably pay you more to do their taxes for them then to watch you dance.
