CS is overrated af. The industry is way over saturated. Most tech companies are outsourcing CS projects to foreign suppliers for 1/4 of the cost. And you need to be really good at it to be hired by a decent company. Only then its pays well
@@bruh-fn5dh Why do statistics show such high salaries for computer science majors if it is oversaturated? And why does it have so many more open jobs available/ I have seen pages like this qz.com/929275/you-probably-should-have-majored-in-computer-science/
Part of it is that a large number of the jobs available in those fields in the US are located in the higher cost of living markets like SF, SEA, NYC, BOS. Virtually any job in those markets pays a high average salary so so many CS jobs in those markets artificially inflates the absolute salary vs the effective salary. Still a good field but...
I think you’re right about Economics. I was an Econ major for two years. The Math and technical skills taught were very useful. Also, it’s a great mixture of the worlds of liberal arts, business, and a little bit of tech. If you add some certificates, professional graduate degrees, exams, and/or additional technical skills you can become a super star. Advancing and making strides in your career.

Whenever you mention statistics, I think a good way to describe statistics for the audience would to explain the following: "Artificial Intelligence is mainly based on Machine Learning. Machine Learning is just a cool name for Statistics." This will give people a better understand what statistics can be used for.

I have a master's in economics and STRONGLY, like, VERY STRONGLY, advise you to choose a master's in finance instead or at least something with finance in the title. There are graduate degrees for example that kindof like blend economics and finance, but the point is that they are applied not theoretical, and meant for business. Avoid getting an economic masters that is pure econ theory, no finance. Otherwise, you will then have to go back and get an MBA. There is one exception: if you get a masters in ECONOMETRICS, this is virtually a synonym for statistics. You will easily find employment with an econometrics grad degree, but you must ensure econometrics is in the degree title. For example, you can get a pure theory econ degree with an econometrics class or 2 but most of that will be wasted time. Make sure the whole degree revolves around econometrics. By the way, don't take my word for it. Ask any employer and they will tell u the same thing. I just made you avert a disaster. You're welcome.
To be honest, I really think a career in a field cannot be replaced by a robot. There's always training data that has to be made and quality assurance for maintenance.
Hi Shane, I would challenge the assertion that physics is slightly preferred by employers over mathematics because I suspect it is actually the other way around. Employers in quantitative fields are looking for the math a person must learn to acquire a physics degree because that math can be applied to any given industry. Better therefore to just maximize the amount of directly-applicable math rather than learn about heat and electricity and force and weight and all the rest of that. However, I would not challenge the assertion that physics majors must work hard and are smart. By the way, to make the issue even more cloudy, are you aware that there is a branch of physics known as "mathematical physics"? Lol. Also, I think you are correct that statistics is more applicable and more highly coveted than math in industry, but do not overlook the fact that math majors can essentially load up on statistics courses thereby making their degree a de facto "statistics" degree. Additionally, math majors can include non-statistics applied business math courses that support topics favored by employers such as linear programming (this is the calculus-based version of "finite business math" you'd see in a community college), non-linear optimization (the non-linear counterpart to linear programming), numerical analysis (the mathematical theory underlying interest theory in finance), and stochastic calculus and partial differential equations (underlying theory of the Black-Scholes Theorem used to price derivatives in finance). For my money if I had it to do all over again, I'd have to flip a coin about whether a math with stats + other courses or a straight up statistics degree would be the most effective for getting hired.

When I was 17, my then boss was the former staff training manager at work. He encouraged me to study Accounting as I was guaranteed a job in any industry (I worked for state government then). It was hard working full time & lectures at night - 20 years before the internet. I went on to get my MBA & then cross trained in Science for Risk Management. Thankfully undergraduate degrees are 3 years here in Australia & I finished mine in 4.5 years. I have dual degrees in 2 fields with graduate degrees but could bounce between a few industries. I now lecture as in 2004 I completed my first Key Note Speaking Role & walked out with a month's salary but was chastised for undercharging my client - but this was my first time.
Would love to see a series that involves a deep dive into a singular degree/major for one video. You could cover other related degrees in the same video if they overlap. I think you would be able to make a lot of content out of this topic
I don’t know any math/stat major who struggled after undergrad unless they chose to teach. Those majors are slept on big time. Nearly as much real world respect as engineering majors (outside of engineering jobs) with so much less work from what I’ve seen. Undergrad salaries are comparable too.
@@joeyGalileoHotto Control Theory, a subset of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, is one of the stepping stone for Modern Machine Learning. Besides Psychology (Rosenblatt) and Philosophy/Mathematics (Turing), your next biggest influence for Machine Learning is Control Theory.
I liked how you explained the international business degree, maybe you can do a video that goes more in-depth with potential international business opportunities!
Physics is so interesting and seems to be practical and I actually wanted to study it , but in my country the best university for studying physics has like 10 people graduating a year and they either quit or never find a job after that.
Can you do a video on jobs in insurance and a Risk Management and Insurance major? I promise I will gently tap the like button on all your videos for the rest of the time I'm in college (3 years to be exact)
It is awesome to see supply chain management on here and get some credit! Makes me feel a little better about my choice, though it is at masters level and not bachelors 😁 hopefully the consensus is at the masters level it is still a good choice
Hi Shane, love your videos. I’ve got some ideas for you. How about making one about how universities market “the college experience” to young adults, to get them to spend more money on college than they need to. Or about going to college as an older adult or a parent. Or about advice for high school graduates who have no idea what careers they want to pursue.
Good idea Maya. Thanks for the suggestion. Check out these video btw.. What they dont tell you about student loans... ua-cam.com/video/8NPnH6ZReak/v-deo.html The BEST College Majors (How to choose the Perfect Major for YOU) ua-cam.com/video/EVCw4Wf7wQw/v-deo.html
Yay!OMG! Once again, I think that I might have lucked out on choosing math and physics combined, even if I'm not from MIT. That said, I knew that cybersecurity was going to be on the list. In fact, in the future I am kinda expecting cybersecurity to rank quite a bit higher because IT-centric or computer centric majors will be leading the future of the technological singularity that A.I. is going to bring. Not sure if it would be in my lifetime, but it's very likely.
I'm studying mathematics and statistics in college. I hear you say repeatedly that these majors, although great, can be very broad and can be seen as hard to get your foot in the door with a company. Do you have any tips on how to make these majors more applicable to the real world? I took an intro to python course last year and am planning on enhancing my coding skills going forth. Do you have any other suggestions or extra classes to take to prepare me for jobs after college?
Python, Julia, R, Matlab are the analysts/statisticians tools. Some Numerical Methods/Linear Algebra would help. On top of Matrix Methods for Pattern Recognition. Other than that, your general analysis, probability, decision theory stuff should prepare you for more advanced application.
The intersection of big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence needs attention. Attention to the economics, political science, and philosophical ethics concerning the technologically unemployed would not be amiss.
Shane please make a video on health management/administration! You were very vague when you talked about in your worst health degree list. I really enjoyed this video tho! You’re such an amazing creator
Cyber security is a burgeoning field, especially if you want to work for the government/military. I just checked www.usajobs.gov and there's literally hundreds of INFOSEC jobs open at DOD, DHS, etc. Many of these jobs pay quite well and it's only growing. Also, if you're unsure if a certain degree program will help you land a certain job, log on to LinkedIn and look up your ideal employer (e.g. DHS) and then check out the list of employees. LinkedIn users list their educational credentials on their profiles, so you can usually figure out what you need based on what these people have.
Hey shane, can you talk about an international relations major? I'm a little scared to hear what you would have to say because it's very liberal arts but I watch this channel to hear the truth!
I’m thinking of learning data science and economics at the same time, my local university offers an Economics degree where I can do a concentration in Data science. I’m thinking of combining it with Financial economics(basically geared towards financial sector). What do you think of a Bachelors in Economics with a double concentration in Financial Economics and Economic Data Sciences??
@@ShaneHummus thanks should I add anything to that? I'm thinking for electives to take language courses like French Arabic and Russian (I'm in Canada btw as a mature student)
I feel like it would be nice to have a video on the concentrations of engineering especially mechanical or electrical engieering. within mechanical you have cfd, design, pid engineering and a bunch of other stuff and the same with electrical with circuits signals backend engineering or what have you. its harder to just look up stats on these types of things cuz theyre more niche
It's because of the oversaturation of the market. You only need a bachelor's, and so a lot of psychology majors will apply to jobs in this field, along with sociology and sometimes communication majors. The degree itself has great prospects, and the career is solid so long as you can one up the psychology majors
@Grass Eater HR degrees would be best if that's what you're after, as it demonstrates to companies that this is your first option and not a backup. However, the degree isn't too versatile. So if you can't get into an hr job, not really much else you can work in
Hey, Shane could you maybe start a new series for best major focuses/specializations. And you can do a video for each Major (Of course not all Majors ever but like the ones that people know, Chemistry, Computer Science, Electrical engineering, Economics, etc Like: best mechanical engineering specializations, Manufacturing Mechatronics Transportation Systems Ground Vehicle System Mechanical Design Etc) Or Computer science specializations: Artificial Intelligence Cybersecurity Information Management and Data Analytics Data Science & Machine Learning Etc)
I’m a senior in high school. Computer science is my first choice major and physics is my second. UCSB accepted me for physics. Should I consider this option when compared to computer science? I don’t really want to get a PhD, but maybe a masters at most.
Consider double majoring or minoring in one of those. I think you’ll be in good shape with any undergrad science education if you can also show you have computer skills.
I'm a 2nd year physics gradstudent now, but back in my undergrad asking myself: "Why am I studying this" and "what do I want to do with this degree" are good ideas to help roadmap you and keep you sane. (especially in physics) You may not have an answer for these now but beginning to think about them early is a start. Good luck!
I know it’s uncommon for you to review a singular degree in one video, however exercise science is never covered. It falls into a unique category in the sciences and I feel there is a lot of variability in this field. Which may be make it hard to find statistics but I feel would be useful to some students
Sorry if this question has been repeated.. Can you make a video on whether going to the US from another country to study criminal justice/ forensic science is worth it?
Not an expert but I wouldn’t say studying criminal justice is worth it in any country, least of all in the US where you’d probably be paying a lot more for that education. Depends on what your alternatives are and what your end goal is though.
I didn’t watch the whole video but i think a very underrated degree is marketing! You might disagree but marketing in my opinion is incredibly useful for anything!
You seem to often clump together pure Mathematics and applied Mathematics in terms career options... Applied mathematicians study EXACTLY the real world applications of math, often specializing in some industry/field of study as soon as in undergrad. Some of the specialty fields available are: Algorithms and Data structure, Finance, Econometrics (I have heard that applied mathematicians with an specialization in econometrics are more likely to be hired for an economics position than an econ grad), Actuarial Sciences, Probabilistic Mathematics or Numerical Methods.
Hey Shane! Any advice on running a business? I’m going to inherit my dad’s business when I grow up and I need some advice considering that I wanna diversify the company, take it public, as well as make it multinational. Any advice would be great! Thanks man, amazing videos as always!
Of all degrees, he never mentions the benefits of having a degree in the Education field with all of the EXCELLENT and FUN and GREAT PAYING jobs in my field! It's also a field with A TON of opportunities!
Hey Shane I'm genuinely curious, will computer science become a flooded degree and career like law or stay its place like medicine because it maybe hard or requires constant upgrade and certificates
Statistics is the coolest among them all. Statistics is basically used everywhere in the real life setting. btw never heard of industrial design and industrial psychology. is HR industrial psychology?
Great video BUT Mr. SHane, Money does grow in trees cause from where comes the paper use to print it? From trees 🌲 right? We need to shift from that old mindset :)
Just fyi the CAD drawings done by industrial designers can be done by engineers (particularly mechanical or mechatronics) as well. So you are competing with engineers that can do that and other things like technical design and maths/physics modelling
Hey Shane! What do you think about Urban Planning/Urban Design as a career? There's not very much information surrounding them, but I find them very interesting.
In some colleges economics is not considered an arts degree, but a science related degree. It all depends on the amount of mathematics and statistics included in the major.
What are your thoughts on pursuing genetics as a major? It's definitely more focused than biology but I don't know if it's too specific at the same time
You have never mentioned about Music degree. I knew you talked about liberal art and fine art, but I think there are more things inside that. Maybe you want to do some more research about it
i did a doubl emajor in political sciecne and human rights then id idmy masters iN international human rights law I work forhte International Criminal Court I am very happy i can speak Arabic Chinese English French Russian Spanish Portuguese Afrikaans Xhosa and ZUlu
Hey Shane, I have a bachelors degree in commerce. At first i was planning to get an MBA degree but now I am very much interested in industrial psychology. Should I do masters in psychology or get an MBA ?
So I have a bachelors degree in physics, I’ve still to land my first job. Do you guys recommend me to enter the workforce in a random job(i.e Best Buy), so I can at least get work experience. Or should I still aim to get a job in the industry I’m aiming for. I’m trying to become an engineer technician in electronics or electrical.
Hello my friend, I have a bachelors in math and am in a similar boat. Don't get down on yourself. I'm not sure the answer, but remember that you have valuable skills to offer that you developed through your studies.
@@Jeontastic if you really want to become that it's a great option to go in that path, only keep in mind that there are not many jobs available , and that DNA analysis it's pretty common in all biology degrees
What do you think about “Environmental Data Science” degree? It sounds quite spesific for bachelors degree. I am worried that i am not be able to find many job opportunities.
Hey Shane I am getting my graduate degree in Smashing the Like Button at Yale! I am struggling to learn the latest content and consider it risky!!! Wish me luck.
Yes, you can get very good jobs with Industrial Psychology degrees. No, you will not get those good jobs with an undergraduate degree. They require at least a masters level degree, most require doctorate level. The jobs you can get with a bachelor level industrial psychology degree are low tier human resources jobs.
I might not be the norm here *but* I have a BA in General Studies. I make 20.81/hour, 38.5 hours a sweet, union job, sweet uber sweet medical/dental/vision benefits ($25/month for me and $15/month for spouse and each kid I add to plan) and state retirement plan. not everyone will be as lucky as I am though
@@leagueplayer8143 Absolutely. And computer networking. Math, Statistics, Phsyics, Computer Science/Networking, Electrical/ Software engineering are all great choices for future skills.
Im majoring in Informatics with a focus in Digital Culture. So far the program is super interesting but, I honestly don’t know what my job options will be. Do they pay pretty well? If anyone has information on more about the World of Informatics and like internships I should look into please lmk!
I would say most schools don't offer a bachelor's in industrial psychology and realistically your going to want a master's in industrial psych to be competitive in the workforce.
Well yeah but I was wondering if there’s a viable substitute. Getting a regular bachelors degree in psych is pretty abysmal, so I was curious as to if there’s any other replacements
@@donut4907 Getting a bachelor degree in psych can help you prepare for the advanced degrees in the field as many advanced psych degrees require some fundamental psych knowledge however if your goal is just a bachelors degree then psych is useless I would major in HR or marketing instead of psych if you just want bachelors.
Now I am even more confused because there are Physics and Applied Physics. Don't know which one to choose!!! Alongside with these two there are Biophysics, Geophysics, Astrophysics... but don't mind these. I only ask about which one should I choose: Physics (more practical than Math) or Applied Physics (even more practical??) @_@

Awesome! We need more like you 😂
Would love to see a series that involves a deep dive into a singular degree/major for one video. You could cover other related degrees in the same video if they overlap. I think you would be able to make a lot of content out of this topic
Great suggestion!
I don’t know any math/stat major who struggled after undergrad unless they chose to teach. Those majors are slept on big time. Nearly as much real world respect as engineering majors (outside of engineering jobs) with so much less work from what I’ve seen. Undergrad salaries are comparable too.
I think Mechanical Engineering is also somewhat underrated in that many people assume manufacturing is on a decline due to the rise in technology.
Mech E is not underrated at all.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Joseph
Joseph G. Hotto if anything it’s overrated lmao
I'm aware that manufacturing won't die anytime soon, it's just that the technology/machine learning hype is so strong
@@joeyGalileoHotto Control Theory, a subset of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, is one of the stepping stone for Modern Machine Learning. Besides Psychology (Rosenblatt) and Philosophy/Mathematics (Turing), your next biggest influence for Machine Learning is Control Theory.
I liked how you explained the international business degree, maybe you can do a video that goes more in-depth with potential international business opportunities!

Hi shane ,im actually majoring in io psychology im so glad you finally mentioned it!
That's awesome! Good luck Lola
Physics is so interesting and seems to be practical and I actually wanted to study it , but in my country the best university for studying physics has like 10 people graduating a year and they either quit or never find a job after that.
This guy is hilarious. Your sarcasm and personality is what got my subscription😂

It is awesome to see supply chain management on here and get some credit! Makes me feel a little better about my choice, though it is at masters level and not bachelors 😁 hopefully the consensus is at the masters level it is still a good choice
Thanks for watching Nephi. Best of luck!
Hi Shane, love your videos. I’ve got some ideas for you. How about making one about how universities market “the college experience” to young adults, to get them to spend more money on college than they need to. Or about going to college as an older adult or a parent. Or about advice for high school graduates who have no idea what careers they want to pursue.
Good idea Maya. Thanks for the suggestion. Check out these video btw..

Yay!OMG!
Once again, I think that I might have lucked out on choosing math and physics combined, even if I'm not from MIT.
That said, I knew that cybersecurity was going to be on the list. In fact, in the future I am kinda expecting cybersecurity to rank quite a bit higher because IT-centric or computer centric majors will be leading the future of the technological singularity that A.I. is going to bring. Not sure if it would be in my lifetime, but it's very likely.
I agree Jessica.. It's gonna get bigger in the future
I'm studying mathematics and statistics in college. I hear you say repeatedly that these majors, although great, can be very broad and can be seen as hard to get your foot in the door with a company. Do you have any tips on how to make these majors more applicable to the real world? I took an intro to python course last year and am planning on enhancing my coding skills going forth. Do you have any other suggestions or extra classes to take to prepare me for jobs after college?
Hey Rachel. I might make a video for you. Stay tuned
Python, Julia, R, Matlab are the analysts/statisticians tools. Some Numerical Methods/Linear Algebra would help. On top of Matrix Methods for Pattern Recognition. Other than that, your general analysis, probability, decision theory stuff should prepare you for more advanced application.
The intersection of big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence needs attention. Attention to the economics, political science, and philosophical ethics concerning the technologically unemployed would not be amiss.
Shane please make a video on health management/administration! You were very vague when you talked about in your worst health degree list.
I really enjoyed this video tho! You’re such an amazing creator

Cyber security is a burgeoning field, especially if you want to work for the government/military. I just checked www.usajobs.gov and there's literally hundreds of INFOSEC jobs open at DOD, DHS, etc. Many of these jobs pay quite well and it's only growing. Also, if you're unsure if a certain degree program will help you land a certain job, log on to LinkedIn and look up your ideal employer (e.g. DHS) and then check out the list of employees. LinkedIn users list their educational credentials on their profiles, so you can usually figure out what you need based on what these people have.

Hey shane, can you talk about an international relations major? I'm a little scared to hear what you would have to say because it's very liberal arts but I watch this channel to hear the truth!
Stay tuned for that. You found the right channel 😁
As someone who did it and enjoyed it, I would not recommend it. At alllll.
@@ln4697 can you tell me more?
I’m thinking of learning data science and economics at the same time, my local university offers an Economics degree where I can do a concentration in Data science. I’m thinking of combining it with Financial economics(basically geared towards financial sector). What do you think of a Bachelors in Economics with a double concentration in Financial Economics and Economic Data Sciences??
That sounds solid
@@ShaneHummus thanks should I add anything to that? I'm thinking for electives to take language courses like French Arabic and Russian (I'm in Canada btw as a mature student)
@@mohamedabdourahman9845 language classes are so overrated. I am from quebec and speak russian as my 1st language.
@@moneymentor_channel the language courses are moreso for fun.
pleaseeee do a video on international relations !!! i would really love to see that 😊😊
There seems to be a pattern. Quantitative majors that don't have an obvious career for undergraduates dominate the list.
hmmm 🤔
I feel like it would be nice to have a video on the concentrations of engineering especially mechanical or electrical engieering. within mechanical you have cfd, design, pid engineering and a bunch of other stuff and the same with electrical with circuits signals backend engineering or what have you. its harder to just look up stats on these types of things cuz theyre more niche
Noted Ryan. I might consider it

Accounting and economics is a very powerful combo
I agree
Human resources management- is pretty underated.....
It really is though. No one checks out the insane amount of money one could make in Human Resources.
Thanks for your input
@@ShaneHummus Thank you!! Because of you I'm looking into a new career path! Glad I came across your channel!!
It's because of the oversaturation of the market. You only need a bachelor's, and so a lot of psychology majors will apply to jobs in this field, along with sociology and sometimes communication majors. The degree itself has great prospects, and the career is solid so long as you can one up the psychology majors
@Grass Eater HR degrees would be best if that's what you're after, as it demonstrates to companies that this is your first option and not a backup. However, the degree isn't too versatile. So if you can't get into an hr job, not really much else you can work in
Hey, Shane could you maybe start a new series for best major focuses/specializations. And you can do a video for each Major (Of course not all Majors ever but like the ones that people know, Chemistry, Computer Science, Electrical engineering, Economics, etc
Like: best mechanical engineering specializations,
Manufacturing
Mechatronics
Transportation Systems
Ground Vehicle System
Mechanical Design
Etc)
Or Computer science specializations:
Artificial Intelligence
Cybersecurity
Information Management and Data Analytics
Data Science & Machine Learning
Etc)
Nice suggestion. I might consider it 😁
I’m a senior in high school. Computer science is my first choice major and physics is my second. UCSB accepted me for physics. Should I consider this option when compared to computer science? I don’t really want to get a PhD, but maybe a masters at most.
Consider double majoring or minoring in one of those. I think you’ll be in good shape with any undergrad science education if you can also show you have computer skills.
I’m thinking about going into computer science when I graduate high school
Sounds like a plan
Hi, Shane! Nice work as always! I'd really like to see a video on biotechnology engineering!
Noted David!
OH YEAH, for once I'm happy that I'm a physics undergrad
Good luck, you'll need it. I'm still figuring out which engineering profession I should do.

@@LoseTheHat67 the people are great, and the science is awesome, good luck
I'm a 2nd year physics gradstudent now, but back in my undergrad asking myself:
"Why am I studying this" and
"what do I want to do with this degree"
are good ideas to help roadmap you and keep you sane. (especially in physics)
You may not have an answer for these now but beginning to think about them early is a start.
Good luck!
I know it’s uncommon for you to review a singular degree in one video, however exercise science is never covered. It falls into a unique category in the sciences and I feel there is a lot of variability in this field. Which may be make it hard to find statistics but I feel would be useful to some students

Sorry if this question has been repeated.. Can you make a video on whether going to the US from another country to study criminal justice/ forensic science is worth it?
Not an expert but I wouldn’t say studying criminal justice is worth it in any country, least of all in the US where you’d probably be paying a lot more for that education. Depends on what your alternatives are and what your end goal is though.
You should do a tier list on fast food restaurants. I know that it’s not your typical video. But it would be a lot of entertainment value.
omg so random
but it would be hilarious\=
Haha sounds like something I might do on April fools 😂
I didn’t watch the whole video but i think a very underrated degree is marketing! You might disagree but marketing in my opinion is incredibly useful for anything!
Thank you for your educational videos🙏keep up the good work👍

What about neuropsychology? Anyone has any advice?
Following!
Maybe in the future. Stay tuned
You seem to often clump together pure Mathematics and applied Mathematics in terms career options... Applied mathematicians study EXACTLY the real world applications of math, often specializing in some industry/field of study as soon as in undergrad. Some of the specialty fields available are: Algorithms and Data structure, Finance, Econometrics (I have heard that applied mathematicians with an specialization in econometrics are more likely to be hired for an economics position than an econ grad), Actuarial Sciences, Probabilistic Mathematics or Numerical Methods.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts

Depends.. What are your plans for the future?
@@ShaneHummus would international relations be a good degree if I were interested in translating?
Hey Shane I'm genuinely curious, will computer science become a flooded degree and career like law or stay its place like medicine because it maybe hard or requires constant upgrade and certificates
Not in our lifetime
Hopefully like the latter. We need them all.
Statistics is the coolest among them all. Statistics is basically used everywhere in the real life setting. btw never heard of industrial design and industrial psychology. is HR industrial psychology?
Thanks for watching. I might make a detailed video on that
Great video BUT Mr. SHane, Money does grow in trees cause from where comes the paper use to print it? From trees 🌲 right? We need to shift from that old mindset :)
Just fyi the CAD drawings done by industrial designers can be done by engineers (particularly mechanical or mechatronics) as well. So you are competing with engineers that can do that and other things like technical design and maths/physics modelling
Right Nam

Hello my friend, I have a bachelors in math and am in a similar boat. Don't get down on yourself. I'm not sure the answer, but remember that you have valuable skills to offer that you developed through your studies.
Learn Python, Julia, R, Matlab, and leverage your visual and proof-based skills in a paid internship/aprenticeship in some research department.
I wanted to ask you, Shane,
What about having bachelors in genetic and then a masters in forensic science?
A student here in genetics you need a PhD to get a job 😉 if you want to be a professor or something like that go for this

Yes, you can get very good jobs with Industrial Psychology degrees. No, you will not get those good jobs with an undergraduate degree.
