Alright /sci/ degree tards time to step up to the plate.

I have the choice where I can choose an applied major at a cheap school or go to UCLA as a philosophy major.

I know this thread gives CS and IT a lot of flack for being brainlet tier degrees and Philosophy as a subject requires a lot of knowledge.

However, I fear of falling into the unemployment meme If I take this major at a much more expensive tuition. Is there a job market that can actually back up Philosophy or is it a subject that math majors like to brag about but never minor in because muh "humanities".

Philosophy is the best major you could pick but ONLY IF you plan on double majoring in something extremely logic focused (like math or science), and plan on going to grad school afterwards. a philo degree is good for fags planning on going to law school, but you'd be better off dropping out of high school and becoming a meth addict than trying to go to law school and get a job in that field. If you only are getting a philo degree with no other plans after, its a financial waste of time

1. you won’t learn anything from ucla that you couldn’t learn from the internet.
2. if you asked the same question about harvard my answer would be the same: you won’t learn anything special—; but I’d append it with fact that a harvard degree also gives you perpetual fiat currency.

I didn't process the UCLA part of OPs post. ignore my post >>11935428 entirely. UCLA is an expensive daycare center

What's preventing you from switching majors at UCLA?

Pro-tip: You can still transfer to the engineering college if that's the type of applied major you're looking. But anyway, assuming you're a california resident:

Steps to success
1. Attend ucla 1 qutter
2. Take academic leave of absence
3. Attend california community college for lower division courses
4. Re-enter ucla without having to go through the standard application process again and transfer courses over
5. Finish remaining coursework at ucla
6. ??????
7. Profit!

UCLA is a highly analytical department. That shit is boring.

UCLA's a garbage school so it doesn't matter which you pick honestly.

Unless you have very specific plans for the school (primarily, networking or specific researchers you want to work with), going to a UC as an undergrad is shitty. You're there solely to subsidize graduate and institutional research. Go to a PUI if you have the option and go hard into research/internships/networking to get the best bang for your buck.
Ultimately, if you're only getting a degree for a job, the cheaper one is the better option since most undergrad degrees (outside of absolute top tiers) are treated the same in the job market and the sooner you're not in student debt, the sooner you can actually live
