Should I study Economics/Finance if I'm too smart for the Arts/Humanities but too dumb for STEM?

I did econ and statistics as majors in undergrad, I made $100k WFH and they paid for my data science masters.

I didn't wanna work as hard as my STEM major friends.

I'm not sure if it's about "smart" vs "dumb" but Economics/Finance courses are literally just way less work compared to CS/math courses of supposedly "equal level". And by way less work I mean a basic finance course is literally about 1/5 of the amount of work in hours vs a basic CS or math course, not exaggerating btw lmao. Looking back I personally don't think the extra work is even close to worth it and if I had to do university again I'd do Finance as my major and just do CS as minor lmao.

t. CS major, finance and math minor

Yeah, "too dumb/lazy for STEM but too smart for meme degrees" is textbook business major. I did accounting and it worked out pretty well. If you're actually good with your money, you'll still outdo the comp sci majors who will blow it all on doordash and shitcoins, especially if you're entrepreneurial.

Similar question, should I keep working my low income allied health job (140k kangaroo doll hairs with minimal growth opportunities) while trying to invest in [stagnant economy] or go to med school/intern paying 60k and having minimal income for 6-8 years total but then start on I would assume future equivalent of 300-500k?
I would consider finance but idk if that would really be as reliable a route in 3-4 years time to start a career.

The only thing that sucks ass about stem is the f$#ing math and it's on purpose.

Late 19th century is low-key a very comfy time in American history. I love the gilded-age. Also McKinley was a GOAT president and Roosevelt was a proto-soiboy.

Agreed today's curriculum is absolute horseshit and unfortunately tranny shit has poisoned ever facet of public ed uni. But imagine an actual well-read college student sadly most undergrads go through 4 years of uni without reading a single book.

t. physics MS who didnt read a single literature book in both undergrad and grad school

I personally really regret my economics degree and subsequent career but I feel I’ve fared worse than most. I had terrible grades and made some bad decisions back in 2019 and 2020 that I never quite recovered from. Now that I’m 30 it’s probably too late to recover.
