God Tier: Engineering, Physics, Medicine, Economics, Accounting, Finance

High Tier: Biology, Chemistry, Law, Political Science, History, Mathematics, Computer Science

Mid Tier: Business, Education, Foreign Languages, English, Anthropology, Criminal Justice

Low Tier: Sociology, Family Sciences, Psychology, Fashion Design, Digital/Art Design, Telecommunications

Shit Tier: All gay marxist critical theory bullshit (Women's Studies, Queer Theory, Fat Studies, Ethnomusicology, Foucault Studies, Cultural Studies), Any music degree, French, International Relations, Art History, Linguistics, Race Studies, anything that ends in studies.

This list is done by importance, difficulty and salary possibilities. If this offends you, then you probably major in trombone or art or some shit. Have fun learning to play Mozart or repaint Van Gogh, cause you know people give a fuck.

your list is shit, op. only a few majors aren't top tier.

english- human interaction is the backbone of understanding ourselves

sciences- understanding the world is the backbone of understanding ourselves

poli sci- understanding how groups are controlled is the backbone of understanding ourselves

arts/music- understanding the emotive/intuitive part of who we are us the backbone of understanding ourselves.

I think what these threads tend to demonstrate is just how insecure a lot of the people interested in the "hard sciences" are.

It's sad that it has to be this way but it's very rare to see someone who can write beautiful poetry mocking those who have mastered the, er, art of differential equations.

Of course, the whole notion of 'tiers' is absurd -- anybody who is completely lacking in any area has severe deficiencies. The key to happiness is to live a flourishing life in which one thinks philosophically (i.e. thoughtfully, reflectively) about whatever we choose to pursue.

Good luck explaining in what sense Foucault studies is derived essentially from mathematics. Of course, if you want to take that reductivist attitude, it makes more sense to say that all disciplines are ultimately derived from philosophy. This is both historically and conceptually true. Historically because philosophical writings are the first coherent academic accounts we have; conceptually because thinking philosophically about things (including the foundations of mathematics; the methods and applications of all the sciences, and so on) is the basis for all further knowledge.

All sciences derive from Astronomy. There is historical documentation showing that the Neolithic man recorded the movements of the stars. And probably, they related those changes in the sky to earthly events, like the Babylonians did.

All knowledge derives from philosophy. Philosophy is not only narrowly defined as a 'subject', but also as a process. You can state the two fundamental concerns of philosophy quite simply: What exists? and What matters in what there exists?

The enterprise can then become more specific: questions about knowledge of particular things, the nature of truth, reason, the value of things and efforts to gain understanding of all of the above through the philosophical process of questioning, thinking critically, probing and so, endlessly, on.

Astronomy certainly required all of the above.
