There is a LOT of memestery and SJW faggotry going on in psychology.

Its very important to separete the good (psychometrics, methodology, IQ, personality testing, philosophy of science etc.) from the bad (psychoanal pseudos, meme touchy feely SJW homo bullcrap youll get spoonfed even in Central Europe).

That being said, the most fa major is philosophy and literature - what else? I wouldnt advise any of them if you want to be financially independent, but you are a turd if you arent learned in basic soc sci stuff.

Being in the industry i can tell you, it's not as great as you're making it out to be. There is a lot pressure put on you since if you mess up a even a tiny bit you'll struggle to find work for the rest of you career. Plus coming straight from a degree you have to suck so much corporate cock that you wont even recognise yourself in the mirror, just to be included in a team of other people who will fight you on every little thing.

Hey guys after taking the year off after HS I'm going to apply to school for next year.

I'm beyond terrible w/ STEM-type stuff, but good with language, music, history, law, anything that needs reading and a beyond retard sense of comprehension.

I'm deliberately shoehorning myself into some retarded degree like History or Psychology or even Music (Tonmeister).

My question is honestly what liberal arts degree do I have the best chances of getting somewhere with my life, coupled with actually learning something along the way.

If I fuck up I'm going to enlist or take up a trade (or both) but before that happens I want to know what you guys think is the best (enjoyment + productivity) path to become an intellectual.

History. History. History.

Easy to get published as an undergrad if you do good research and can write coherently, very little SJW bullshit survives historians' scrutiny in academia, the course matter is almost always interesting, mostly self-directed work.

History majors go into Law School all the time because of their research and analysis abilities. Not only that, many companies and governments look out for history majors for analyst positions right out of the gate.

People think it's bullshit but I have better career prospects than 99% of my friends in other faculties.

Honours Bac. in History forever.

If you're in a position to pick a field you enjoy, why the fuck wouldn't you do it?

I'm certainly not saying that people should be be picky fucking whiners, sit on their NEET asses and complain because they're never going to be a pro athlete or a famous musician or whatever, but if you're going to spend 8 hours a day doing something for 40 years or more, pick something you won't hate. Your work may not "represent your whole life," whatever that means, but it's sure as fuck a big part of it.

I think it's meaningful that the guy you replied to mentioned medicine and law, both high-status occupations that pull in a lot of money (though that's arguable once you factor in law/med school debt) that nevertheless have HORRIBLE job satisfaction ratings and that many practitioners regret getting into. Go corner a sleep-deprived doctor sometime, if you can catch him when he's not doing paperwork, and ask him if he'd rather have his job, or a 60k / year job that wasn't killing him slowly with stress. Ironically, despite working hard and being paid a lot, doctors are some of the first people to call BS on what you're saying; only get into medicine if you LOVE it.

You should never go into a field you hate. But if you have any interest in it and it pays well, then consider it. You don’t need to “love” your work. What matters is that it can safely sustain your personal life without destroying you mentally is what I meant

And everyone romanticizes their field before they enter it anyways When they do, they realize that work sucks all the same

Got my business major six months ago. Hate this shit. I plan to quit my job, shit's unbearable. Plan to study linguistics (can speak six languages) or textile development (chemisty + physics + design). Is it too late for 23 to study sth. new? I would be around 28-30 if I go for Master degree, but I'm afraid I won't be able to make a jump when I don't quit now. Luckily have no debts and saved up around 5000€ (enought to pay student loans here in Germany).
Also, evening school won't work. With my shitty white-collar degree you can't do any really interesting master degrees.

Finish your major. Never drop out of any major past third semester. If you wish you can get second major in design, management + design is an actual combination that won't leave you jobless.

The good thing about dressing relatively well in a CS course is the fact that you, instead of looking just decente, you actually get compliments because of how bad the nerds generally dress
