What do you think, /sci/?

Best in Science?
Best in Technology?
Best in Engineering?
Best in Math?

We will use factors such as: Job growth, security, wealth potential, as well as how interesting the job is.

I just got accepted to do a Doctor of Optometry, I don't know whether to do it or not. I may have no other choice if nothing else accepts me.

Do you think it's a good idea, /college/?

based on the criteria you listed, computer science is the obvious winner in every one except how interesting the job is which is subjective

Is pursuing a degree for money or status pointless? Thinking about dropping out and learning a trade.

Join the military. If you can test well you will likely get to do something you like and can transfer to the civilian world.

You'll get your education financed debt free, you will get to travel, it will make you organized and neat, it will make a man out of you, and you get paid ontop of it.

Do they allow me to test before completely applying?

>Is pursuing a degree for money or status pointless?

Probably because you're doing it for status and money.

If you just love the subject those will probably follow.

>> No.7501304

>>7501288

Yes they do. You have to pass a physical and all that after you take your tests and sign on the dotted line.

too bad without computer engineers, your job wouldn't even exist. You can't say that for any engineering major. Many jobs would not even exist without engineers.

No disagreements here.

I considered adding biochemistry (biotech industry), but any chemistry undergrad can take coursework in molecular/cell biology and work in biomedical research.
