I think you should always remind people it’s still worth it to get a college degree as long as they know specifically what they’re taking the degree for my friend went to college for a an F tier degree and makes double what I did for many years going straight into the work force he took history to be a teacher he had a career planned and that shouldn’t stop anyone from taking an “F” tier degree I think this is an especially useful resource for people who don’t know at all what they want to do but they know what kind of requirements they have for their position in life
this list is very good list but you underrated or ignored civil engineering police enginering and Military enginerring, also construction business administration
@@fadgaola it has nothing to do with being homophobic. It’s a video about top degrees so if he laughs that means it’s bad. And just look at the degree it is less than useless.
I still don´t see how Nursing is S tier. I mean its a vital role in society, and travelling nurses did make a nice chunk during covid, but in general the profession is plagued with long hours, bad pay and a lot of stress.
Yes my sister is a nurse and she hates it Says she sees too much and it takes an emotional toll on her Also they don’t get paid enough to do what they do unfortunately
@@tomr6866 It depends on where you live of course. But IMO for your pay to be decent then your rent (inc. utilities) should only be 30% of your paycheck after tax. In norway if you want to live in Oslo you need atleast 2k a month in rent and even that is a broomcloset. 24,000 / 0.30 = 80,000. What nurse makes 80k after tax. Yeah if you guys are two people its only 40k required, but lets be real. if you need to be two people to live in a broom closet then ur job aint that good. also average nurse here makes 53.7k before tax. 40k after tax. Not good by any sense of the immagination. especially considering a McDonalds employee will make 31K after tax.
I work in healthcare and nurses start at like 75k where i live in kansas. Travel nursing can easily double that. I wouldn’t say that is bad pay. Although, it isn’t great pay for the stress of healthcare, especially how short staffed everything is from the covid burn out.
@@imthrillz5255 America has decent Nurse salaries due to privatization of healthcare. As of 2021 (Bureau of labour statistics) registered nurses make on average 82,750$. (You are underpaid, by national standard). But behold my friend there are countries outside of U.S. Norway (57,000$), Germany(35,000$), France(39,000$), U.K (36,000$) with Netherlands actually paying an impressive (70,000$). So looking at the western median. The pay doesn’t seem impressive. The title of the video wasn’t top 100 to take for Americans.
Well as long as enjoy what you end up doing with them. I know I wouldn't enjoy working in many of the S tier industries, except for maybe nursing, but thats certainly not S tier in my country.
I got a BS in Business Administration and hate my job. I’m not progressing because my employer knows I hate my work. I’m a musician (piano, banjo, guitar, and accordion) and wanted to go to get a music degree. If you like something and it doesn’t pay much just do it anyway. Most likely, if you’re forced into a career path you hate you won’t make much money either because you’ll be bad at it and loathe it.
For anyone watching as a physics graduate I highly encourage some planning, if you plan on industry jobs get a minor in mechanical or electrical engineering or c.s it will help you immensely. If you intend on going purely into research I highly recommend a minor in applied mathematics and additional technical writing (grant applications are hyper critical so its also no entirely bad to get additional persuasive writing courses) and if you are a lunatic (like me) get a second major in pure mathematics for theoretical physics and enjoy not having any life outside of school due to the sheer time commitments needed to keep up.
Would you say a second major in computer science is too much? Is a minor like you recommended enough to give me good job opportunities if I decide not to pursue a graduate degree? I do worry that the physics degree alone isn't enough.
Biology in my opinion is A tier if you're aiming for graduate studies after. It opens up so many doors for various subjects like med school and all kinds of STEM research fields. Not to mention that it makes you eligible for more internship opportunities during undergrad. It all depends on what you want in the future. Even if you don't pursue a graduate degree do you know how much lab managers with only a Bachelor’s get paid??
I won’t even lie biology degrees do not have many jobs for how hard it is to attain one lol😅. I’ll say although I kinda of regret the degree it got me into nootropics and neuroscience stuff which I find extremely useful/interesting.
The only thing an undergraduate Biology degree is good for is if you want to be a science teacher, and even then you'll need to complete (at the very minimum) a post graduate teacher certification. Graduate level is a different story of course.
@@NoRockinMansLand From the stuff Ive heard, tech jobs like web develpoement, cyber security, etc dont need one though it is udeful to have one. Its just much harder without one.
@@DAN-ed9uk My experience (friend works in IT at a help desk, got laid off, got another 2 years of menial work under his belt while being homeless till he moved in with us.) A Uni degree is VERY helpful to cram as much knowledge into your brain in as short as possible amount of time. That being said, the degree won't earn you a job, unless you get a good internship, as many of the interviews are skill/competency based, YOU MUST COMPLETE OUTSIDE WORK. You basically HAVE to live and breath computers and computer systems and tooling. My friend builds weird computer kits, programs and makes machines for fun. Even when he was dead broke he worked as a repairman for a computer company. (All you Apple users out there should know, working staff get paid far less than a living minimum wage for fixing your Macbook latte mistake. Ditto if they are a private contractor who may or may not provide health insurance or dental.) Learning the systems hardware and more of the theory meant he was able to get a slightly better paying job (while still not being able to afford to live on his own. What can I say? Where we lived housing costs are ludicrous.) that then served as a foot in the door for a much better job. Lessons learned include: 1) Stay current with your industry. If you have learned everything there is to know about a subject, it's time to keep learning. The basic skills won't desert you but the rest of the world will if you don't have updated knowledge. 2) The lowest man on the totem pole is the first to leave and the laziest people eventually will get fired after the first round of budget cuts. Do your best to not be them but on the flip side, don't stay where you have security if there are better options out there for making money. On a risk reward ratio, there is usually something similar to what you are doing that doesn't include a crazy amount of all or nothing risk once you have a skill set. You are simply working to learn more and refine that skill set. 3) College degrees are a pain. Teachers are often behind when you go to a middling or fair Uni/college because they took the teaching job as a boost to their income or because they got left behind at the latest tech revolution. Their going rate was low and the college budget for staff wasn't much higher, even if they pay well. The best Uni instructors are usually so in demand as experts that they don't end up teaching very many of their own classes. That is a trade off to going to a more recognized school is that you get the best teachers but they are not always available because they are so well regarded and necessary. At any time, the Professors can and often do leave Academia when they are tired of the politics, have more idealistic, or interpersonal goals to pursue. That being said: 4) College degrees area a pain, but if you want to transition into management, sales, finance, AI, or any form of modeling/start up, you need the very basic knowledge that most people acquire at there. If your bosses are a college graduates, you are also one, and therefore your understanding of the work it took to earn it is simpatico to one another. That is how you get a job after you want to make a career switch. A degree is not a requirement to be in the middle level of any corporation but if you want to move up within it or start your own company, Uni connections and better business knowledge is essential. Having started in a corporate level job gives you boatloads of connections and opportunities on a professional level to reach out and up. Find a friend at work. Trust carefully but make some sort of connections. Being nice to people and being a good (creative) worker will go far when you need a recommendation from someone else in another department or area to seek out other jobs. Being nice and being competent get you as far as you will go sometimes.
If it weren't for the market unsteadiness it would hands down be the best. I started CS a year and a semester ago (with no coding knowledge) and have an offer to make over $50 an hour this summer, from lots of hard work, preparation, and a lifetimes worth of luck.
@@joshurlay Dude that's awesome to hear. How were you able to land a job like that? I'm assuming through somebody you know due to your lack of experience. I do a lot of networking but I'm so scared to actually do an interview, feels like I don't know enough. I have a good amount of experience with python and javascript. I'm a junior in college rn, should I try interviews anyway even if I don't feel ready enough?
@@josefrailecofc It was actually from trying and failing interviews :) I failed about 3 before I got good at them. Do interviews and don't expect to do well until you fail the first few. There will come a point where you will be able to talk about your experiences and have to fall back on things you obviously rehersed before it. I'm also a junior (Spring 2024), and it helped that I was a little good at leetcode (even though there was none during the interview, just an OOP type problem that was challenging enough). Lastly, I was not ready at all when I got my internship offer. You think you don't feel ready with javascript and python? I didn't even know css yet, let alone javascript. What got me the job though is that I scheduled my interview 3 months out and got to show one of my 3 interviewers the difference in the resume I applied with and my resume now. I learned a lot of great things to put on my resume through the Odin project online, and those skills are what allowed me to speak openly about my experiences and get me my internship. The main advantage of networking right now I think is the ability to build skills along side other people and learn from them. For me, I always asked people how they learned, Iif they had advice, and how specific CS topics worked (although chat gpt probably would give me the same answer nowadays). Finally, I got my internship because reddit gave me interviewing tips. They said to ask questions and be open and up front if you don't know something. I cannot understate that enough, ask questions and clarify things, even if you're 100% you know what they mean. It would have saved me 2 interviews before, but I'm glad I didn't then because I wouldn't have gotten the great offer I have today.
When you gotta study a high tier degree so you can increase your chances of financial security but at the same time have a side hustle relating to the arts to pursue your dreams and passion
A thing worth noting about philosophy is that it's a quite topheavy profession/education. So there are a few people that I know, who are really good personal development coaches or help companies develop a business "philosophy" so that they have consistent integrity etc. Definetly a very broad education with a lot of possibilities, but also traps.
I personally do not understand why a bachelor in History always receive so much hate. It may just be some way of thinking in America (luckily I'm European). I will be finishing my BA in 'History' (minoring in Social Science) this summer and thereafter begin my MSc in 'International Security & Law'. I'm incredibly motivated and have already enjoyed numerous compliments about my combination of degrees. Most important of all is to just do what you find interesting. Life is too short anyway to just follow the norm or choose a path solely for the money. [PS. I hope to one day work for either an NGO, be a diplomat or something in that area.] Kind regards, A friendly Dane
(US) Americans generally stick to things that produce income or protect wealth 🤑. I agree that without competent historians general knowledge can be lost. This is likely why my country is in such turmoil; we keep having conversations about topics that were previously resolute ie inequality, elections, economics, even the Holocaust. Proposing a career in nonprofit would end in communist allegations. Suggesting that you want be in politics would end allegations of being a aspiring tyrant. On your continent, these professions are seen as a public good. NonSTEM majors typically fail financially unless they enter education or are well connected politically.
@@kingmelanin7468 well sucks to be American in that regard. I honestly don't understand why your uni's are so expsensive. We have some of the best uni's in the world here for a fraction of the cost. Also, non stem is not an issue here as much.
@@julianhartinger2351 I hope I understood your question correctly. I'm currently studying at 'University of Southern Denmark' (but may end up finishing my Masters at 'Copenhagen University'). Just try the best you can at laying a plan from the get-go. It will help tremendously in harder times by staying motivated at reaching your goal - but be prepared for changes in this plan/ dream of yours on the way (or perhaps you may even first discover your path while studying the bachelor). That's the best I have at the moment:)
Math should be S tier. It is building Block to many careers from data science, high Finance - quant etc. Can go straight into grad job with it that builds on training or do specialist masters.
I have a BS in math. I strongly recommend not majoring in it. It takes a lot of effort and employers do not care. A minor will give you 90% of the math will need.
@@kevinstreeter6943 No. Enployers do care but depends what industry you go into. With a math degree you need minor in something like finance or programming etc to target trading or quant finance or software engineering. Often a Masters on top, but if you target certain top Enployers like Goldman Sachs, hedge funds etc and went to a top university with internship. Then you will do well. You have to be more pro active as is very academic but highly respected.
@@kevinstreeter6943 Reason is not because of using the math but the training you should have in problem solving. So you can apply those skills and dedication needed to complete the degree.
@@dac8939 you know what also trains you in problem solving? Actually working. Or studying any stem degree which gives you usefull knowledge for your career. Or studying literally anything besides F and D tiers.
Gonna need a justification for why psychology is in C and Bio is in D when Bio at least has jobs requiring the degree at the bachelors level and psych has none. The positives you gave to psych are applicable to bio and more true.
@@milomitchener4166 think that's an excellent choice as you'll be a jack of all trades. AFAIK. you could get into business, IT and electrical engineering jobs which all are great
my overall major is strategic communication with a minor in marketing with a concentration in digital marketing! :) i am happy that you mentioned it at the end of the video!
Hi Shane, great video! I don't like my Radio/TV degree in Canada because yes not only is it a dying degree due to streaming services, social media, and the recent media layoffs; But if I was taking this degree, per se, in the 1990s, where UA-cam and streaming didn't exist, I would be successful in my career. As someone who grew up with MTV in the 90s and the 2000s and aspired to be the next Carson Daly for example, this degree is not worth it. Mostly everyone in my degree wants to do sports broadcasting, especially hockey. In generalization, I don't care what you pursue, but doing hockey does not make you authentic. But due to the recent changes happening in news, entertainment, etc. etc. sports journalism/broadcasting is the only surviving factor in this industry. Even starting a UA-cam channel is tough, but I applaud your success, Shane. I just started doing real estate photography and digital marketing and couldn't be happier with my choice.
I'm a freshman at a university in florida and we actually just changed the name of our Radio/TV major to Media Production & Management. This is my major and I think its a lot better suited for the current world than the old one.
I’m actually applying to graduate schools to get my Masters in public health. I like the diversity of the field. Especially with everything going on in this world!
Nursing IS NOT S TIER I worked in the medical field too long and I’m tell you your gunna live most of your life working around this field and when you old and can’t take care of your self gunna be at the same spot you worked at DONT do it……
@@sheegamer8777 if you want to continue in nursing or nurse practitioner stick to college that will lead you there instead of going the cna route, there completely different occupations and if you do want to know what it’s like to work in those environments and see if it for you get a job like housekeeping or the upfront receptionist they work close with the staff and will give you an idea but don’t do cna unless it’s free or they pay for your classes at least your not at a loss when you actually start work as one hope this helps
@@sheegamer8777 my aunt started out as a nurse and became a nurse practitioner. She said she should've just became a doctor instead of going the nursing route. Definitely a great field though.
i’m interested in business psychology as well. can u give me more info on what it’s like and what jobs are available? what exactly are you majoring in?
@@cherie333 I imagine Human Resources jobs would be a pretty big part of jobs available to business psychology majors, with managerial roles later in your career.
Marketing is 100% correlation and not causation. It has nothing to do with the fact that they took the degree it just has to do with the fact that the majority of the people who choose that happened to be really good self-starters and very creative.
Before, graphic design was a useful degree for several reasons. Seemingly now, the market played different and Art degrees aren’t gonna take me anywhere. Looks like, my passion of art will go down to side hustle with Skillshare
Geography can be a phenomenal choice if you plan well. Focusing more on physical geography and combining it with urban planning, hazard analysis, natural resource management is really good. But that is only good when solidified by GIS applications and especially remote sensing courses and some python courses. Geography is definitely one of those degrees where you have be cautious about because it is so broad but focusing on natural resources, hazards, urban planning with GIS and data science is an excellent path that provides a lot of opportunity
If people actually understood what goes into Supply Chain Management they wouldn't think it was boring. Its 1000x more interesting and creative than something like accounting or finance. SCM is essentially 90% constant problem solving using a combination of experience and theory like Lean, Six Sigma, Theory of Constraints, Value Stream Mapping, Takt Time, ect. I am less than a year from graduating and have found the subject to be far more interesting than my other business common core classes.
Hopefully you get your wish and job will keep up with your expectations because often the jobs are not as fun as the degree. i.E. you do all that interesting stuff in engineering and then end up as a fulltime CADmonkey cause thats whats most in demand.
@@storage9578 that's literally every degree. SCM at a basic level is simply more fun than Accounting or Finance. You can revamp entire manufacturing processes and work with engineers to implement process improvements. I interned at an Aerospace company and worked on two projects from a-z and was highly challenged the entire time with producing process improvements within the team I worked with. I'm sure other areas of SCM aren't nearly as exciting as manufacturing, but I'm not going to be working in them.
@@renedelgado1572 I'd say if you want to go into supply chain management, you should just study industrial engineering as you'll still be able to go into supply chain management but you also have all sorts of options like e.g. sales or consulting. With industrial engineering, you'll be able to link business and technical expertise which should be perfect for supply chain management as you need both there
@@je6a478 can't speak on all SCM programs, but the one I am in incorporates a broad range of subjects. Our program is a cross between conventional business courses and industrial engineering. The most popular internship in our program is a sales based internship for logistics services from a local company here called Scottlyn. Consulting is mostly experience based so I cannot speak to that.
@@joziahcastillo1936 causation is when the degree actually causes people to make more money/get better jobs when correlation means that they were just smart in the first place and they so happened to get a degree but the degree itself did not help with anything
Bachelor Of Business Studies is in A tier, I was really confused about my degree choice after watching this video, and I am feeling a bit relaxed now. Thanks.
Hi shane, I think the differentiation between environmental science and studies can be tricky. My boyfriend’s university doesnt have an environmental science degree title. Its called an environmental studies degree with a science track, which focuses on everything an environmental science program would do with the addition of GIS programs and environmental economics and laws, and they have a social track which focuses more on the useless stuff like a political science degree but for the environment. I have not seen any employment differences for jobs looking for environmental degrees with that title difference. He has gotten the interviews for the jobs just the same way
Yes, Geography and Environmental Science/Studies degrees tend to be like that. They have a more liberal arts side and more of a technical/physical side that is more practical and teaches you skills that you would actually use in the real world. I am doing a Geography degree with a Geospatial science track that focuses more on GIS classes and remote sensing because that is what many jobs use on a daily basis. Unfortunately, these degrees tend to be greatly misunderstood by the general public and most employers which is why it may be difficult to get hired and you may have to explain more than other people what you actually learned because some people think it's useless.
@@orpix34 its true but you can describe these skills in your resume so that the hiring manager understands! My boyfriend just got offered an environmental science job without any problems. He described all these skills on resume and during interview.
i don't get why he put Geography and Geology in B tier but then put Environmental Science as C tier. The jobs are really similar and even the majors here at UCLA are almost identical. Like as an environmental Science major, I still learn GIS and a lot of earth science. People tend to either work for the government or as environmental consultants after college
Philosophy is S-tier. Philosophy is the foundation of all math and science. Without philosophy, and it's formal logic, truth tables, and discrete math the world would be in big trouble. Some of the best programmers I worked with were philosophy majors (and history majors). Good overall list, but healthcare careers should be first and majors such as family guidance should be much higher in real life situations. I quit being a dev because of the constant career push to always be a contractor. Plus AI is going to take a lot of jobs even other jobs such as accounting, data analytics, and even teachers.
What's up with biochemistry? It seems like you keep switching it between A and B tier. You've said before that it's better than biology and chemistry, but you ranked it lower than chemistry here. Which one is it? I am confused 😬
Not really because the chemistry they take is very surface level and is not that much different than what a regular biology major would have to take for instance. A biochemist only chemistry job would probably be limited to R&D
@@francis2728 I suppose it depends on the program, but in mine the only difference is I don't have to take physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, or chemistry research. Instead I have to do physical biochemistry and biochemistry research. I suppose your program could have a big difference.
@@jamie91995 in my program the biochemist only take general chemistry and organic and their focus is on molecular biology. So their focus and work is limited to biological systems while chemists can work beyond biotech ( chemicals, manufacturing…). At least that’s how it’s advertised to us so I’m clearly biased towards chemistry
Exercise Physiology is what I'm studying which I agree the degree on its own is pretty lame. You make like $55k max. Hoping to go to Med school or PT with it. I wanted to study something I was interested in during undergrad while still fulfilling my pre reqs. Thanks for the video Shane.
Can you do one about the best certifications? As an older guy, I don't have time to go sit in school for 4 years getting a Bachelors or even 2 years getting an associates. I need something that I can obtain in a year or less. It would be great to see a video like that.
I'm a nursing student, seeing you put our major on the s tier is increasing my confidence in my major, even though in my country we are not appreciated and mocked, they putting aside the risks and difficulties we face. Developing country matters🏳🤐
@@pbevburner No one said that can't happen. But let's face it. Not all degrees are equally useful, and the stats are the stats. So, he did nothing wrong by ranking a gender studies degree below an engineering degree.
@@takethepillingodwetrust1510 yeah that's what I'm thinking. I just applied to the BTM program at Toronto Met U. I think it's called Business Technology Management in Canada but Management Information Systems in the US.
@@mixemmaxemtaxem4134 there’s actually universities in the US that also have it called business technology management. There’s a lot of name variations for MIS. Some call it business information systems. Some call information technology management and much more. They are all similar degrees tbh. Just look in the coursework and see whether it’s more business heavy or tech heavy.
@@david_thao mine is management informations systems and honestly, it has almost all cs courses besides the math ones, which have been replaced with some courses of maths alongside business core courses.
I'm currently studying Information Technology and I am already receiving job opportunities because ive passed cisco courses (I have a networking specialization). I appears that people with knowledge on computer networking and network management are in high demand.
I think the chart for Biomedical Engineering is the wrong one. The career pay doesn’t make sense and the final score was 18.55 whereas for Bioengineering it was 67.93 even though you mentioned Bioengineering has slightly worse stats.
I am a college graduate and I work only as a pole dancer! I make more money more than any degree here 😅 last year I made $700k and than besides the gifts and trips that I had for free ❤
so we are ranking these inversely proportional to the amount of sleep you are able to get right? As a CS student who is also studying econ, and knowing many med students I can definitely say that computer/engineering/information studies ranks very high in the "no sleep" category.
I do a double degree with business and international business. I learn Marketing, business Management, Finance, Human resource management, economics and Accounting.
@@f1ow3r_10 I'd say long as you know how to use pivot tables and detailed excel functions, you got your moneys worth. It looks like a solid degree + I'm swinging the same way (though might master or minor in poly sci)
I’m interested in pursuing the business administration major because I heard it’s more of the more broad majors and offers many opportunities. I heard that this is good for you if you aren’t sure what you want to do as a career. What are the cons with this major?
Its a little too broad, there’s not much you can do with just a business digree, usually its better to take business administration as a masters to build on a more specialized and/or in demand major
The question is do you choose a major because it interests you or because it’s a good choice career wise. I’d say if you’re really smart you’ll probably choose something that interests you, but if you’re not really smart, by which I mean you’re not likely to pull really good grades, then following the career path is the smart decision.
Great video overall, I will say though If your gonna put Nursing in S tier then you should put accounting and finance in S tier. I personally majored in finance and know many finance majors that make more than nurses (and quite frankly just about any other major). Just my opinion.
A bachelor's in biochemistry is a stepping stone degree. As a biochem major, every one of my classmates went into either DVM, PhD, MD, or DO programs. Its a way to show rigor for the applications for the aforesaid doctorate programs.
Hi Shane, great video! I’m curious whether these rankings take into account the future-proofing of these degrees, especially considering the impact of automation and the shift from fields like Computer Science to AI. Are these rankings still quite volatile in light of these factors?
With my Associate's Degree, I can choose between business or computer programming. I choose computer programming because its a high salaries major and will be very great in the future. My official major is Computer Science ( Bachelor of Science ) in Lehman College for my Bachelor's Degree.
Hey Shane, I've been watching your videos for over 2 years now. I appreciate all the details you provide but I would like to kindly note the following: 1) You need to place emphasis on the country/location. I believe your target audience is American, but a considerable amount of the information you share is definitely not applicable in other areas. For instance, I come from a southern European country. Our industries are different, as well as our job markets. I am an English major and I really do agree that it's a relatively easy degree with several limitations, but it is not as bad as you present it. We are not an Anglophone country, therefore English is not taken for granted. You are able to find employment in Education years before your graduation (although with a terrible salary). Private lessons are super common. Translation & Localization are positions offered in many companies + EU institutes. Language technology (e.g., NLP/Computational Linguistics) is another option with career paths in Amazon, Apple etc. Tourism is also linked with foreign languages. Military translators are very rare, but they exist. Administrative positions can also be acquired. Copywriting/Technical Writing/Proofreading/ Editing are also in demand. Speech Pathology is also another potential career prospect. Additionally, as an English major you are given the right to start your own Foreign Language Institute. My colleagues found employment within weeks. Obviously, our salaries are terrible in comparison to the average American income. But, it is NOT a degree thing. My dad is literally a university professor. His salary is extremely low considering his qualifications & field. Your own degree is extremely limited here. Essentially, you're only able to have your own Pharmacy store (which obviously needs a lot of money if there is no family business behind) or work in Toxicology, which requires a Master's. Your other alternative is to work as an employee in a Pharmacy store. Anything else is really unlikely to occur through meritocracy at least. 2) You don't take into consideration that in many European countries, third level education is free. I didn't pay a penny studying English. In addition, my field does not require any special equipment. Graduates with a degree in Dentistry, Veterinarian studies, Pharmacology usually need A LOT of money for their own career needs, unless they want to be employees as mentioned before. Law is also an extremely oversaturated field here. If you don't have the right connections, the average salary is around 700-1200 euros per month (not entry level!). Almost 99% of Geologists need to seek employment abroad. It's almost a waste of time to study this incredibly interesting science. Biochemistry majors are also really underrated financially and they usually need doctorate degrees or at least a master's. There are literally way too many engineering departments with fields like Mining Engineering being a synonym for unemployment. For instance, there's a lot of competition in Civil & Architectural engineering since the annual total of graduates outnumbers the amount of jobs available. I feel really sorry for the situation in my country, but I am just pointing out how the information you share might not be entirely correct in other parts of the world.
This video makes me all the more nervous on going to Emory for a bachelors in Biology. Granted I plan on going the PhD route (for genetics and genomics)
Has anyone here pursued a graphic design degree? If so has it worked out for you? I want to go into a creative field and I’m interested in this field but thought it wasn’t worth it yet it seemed pretty decent in the video…
Going into the creative field is great, if you want to be dependent on others or broke your entire life. I guess if you are a girl it doesn't really matter since you are just gonna marry a dude who will pay the bills.
I think graphic design is pretty good. You can go into UI/UX design or product development. If you couple graphic design with skills like coding/marketing, you can also branch out into different avenues.

Baccalaureate (Bachelor's degree) in Latin: baccalaureatus - "decorated with laurels." The winner of the competition is called the laureate. Translated from Latin - "laurel branch". In ancient Greece, Olympic champions were decorated with laurels, and emperors were also decorated with laurels. Names: Lawrence, Lorenzo, Laura are associated with laurels. Why is laurel such a cool plant?
Is there a big difference between Electronics Engineering and Computer Engineering? Isn't the curriculum almost similar? I'm contemplating on which one to pick...

Can you maybe make a video about the degrre Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS). To me, it seems to combine the benefits of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and you can get into jobs in either field with minor advantages
@@lucasamaral6634 As far as I've looked at it, this is not exactly the case. Of course, there are many, many similarities and it depends on each university, but from what I've found, Computer Engineering has more a focus on the hardware and software of computer systems. While Computer Science does have a focus on the software logic of computer systems, the Electrical Engineering part focuses not only on the hardware of computer systems but also on the development of electrical systems in general, such as power systems and electronic devices other than computer systems. Therefore, i think the EECS degree offers a greater variety of topics and you have more options when you want to specialize into a niche.
Engineering good Arts bad 🤪🤪 Ig if all you care about is money sure but is it really so bad it more people are trained to think critically about the world and how we interact with each other?
Go with MIS if youre unsure of what you want to do. This major covers a lot of subjects and you can find what you like. Generally, there’s IT, networking, security, and coding classes in MIS. You can still enter the cybersecurity field with MIS degree if you get internships and certifications. Only go for cybersecurity if you for sure want to go in that field. Cybersecurity is high in demand with high pay. Can’t go wrong with either major tbh.
Both are a great pick mate, but if you’re unsure go with MIS since it’s has some components of cybersecurity and you can combine it with certifications, internships in cybersecurity etc.
I want Computer Science but only IT is available in my area, will I still be able to go toe to toe or go further than a CS if I go IT and get certificates and stuff?
You'll be fine if you want to stick with code, and know how to write code well, plus have a decent ability in logic. Having a CS degree only really plays a part in research and development, where algorithms and advanced mathematics are used. Anything business related? You'll be fine.
I would like to do a degree in philosophy but I haven't got the brains. Lol! With regards to doing a physics degree I don't even understand how levers work!
There’s a degree called Arts Administration which falls under the umbrella of Arts Education. It combines business skills using finance, accounting, or management within arts environments such as nonprofits, universities, museums, and for-profit companies. This degree looks pretty flexible and there appears to be a lot of potential opportunities in this field of study. Can anyone provide insight into this degree?
The only constant you seem to be indicating towards is total number of graduates, which on it's own doesn't seem to be a reasonable way to rank "top 100" degree programs. And then you defy that logic by placing a degree program with fewer graduates per year into a higher tier than two degrees with 5,000 more graduates per year. This video is just all over the place, nothing really to support, explain, or contextualize the ranking.

I think you should always remind people it’s still worth it to get a college degree as long as they know specifically what they’re taking the degree for my friend went to college for a an F tier degree and makes double what I did for many years going straight into the work force he took history to be a teacher he had a career planned and that shouldn’t stop anyone from taking an “F” tier degree I think this is an especially useful resource for people who don’t know at all what they want to do but they know what kind of requirements they have for their position in life
How about Agriculture?
this list is very good list but you underrated or ignored civil engineering police enginering and Military enginerring, also construction business administration
S Tier- Nursing, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineer, Chemical Engineer, Management Information System, Computer Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Aerospace Engineering
There's no way industrial engineering is in the S tier. It's not even a real engineering.
How about F tier?

@@fadgaola it has nothing to do with being homophobic. It’s a video about top degrees so if he laughs that means it’s bad. And just look at the degree it is less than useless.
I still don´t see how Nursing is S tier. I mean its a vital role in society, and travelling nurses did make a nice chunk during covid, but in general the profession is plagued with long hours, bad pay and a lot of stress.
Yes my sister is a nurse and she hates it Says she sees too much and it takes an emotional toll on her Also they don’t get paid enough to do what they do unfortunately
Lol bad pay ok
@@tomr6866 It depends on where you live of course. But IMO for your pay to be decent then your rent (inc. utilities) should only be 30% of your paycheck after tax. In norway if you want to live in Oslo you need atleast 2k a month in rent and even that is a broomcloset. 24,000 / 0.30 = 80,000. What nurse makes 80k after tax. Yeah if you guys are two people its only 40k required, but lets be real. if you need to be two people to live in a broom closet then ur job aint that good. also average nurse here makes 53.7k before tax. 40k after tax. Not good by any sense of the immagination. especially considering a McDonalds employee will make 31K after tax.
I work in healthcare and nurses start at like 75k where i live in kansas. Travel nursing can easily double that. I wouldn’t say that is bad pay. Although, it isn’t great pay for the stress of healthcare, especially how short staffed everything is from the covid burn out.
@@imthrillz5255 America has decent Nurse salaries due to privatization of healthcare. As of 2021 (Bureau of labour statistics) registered nurses make on average 82,750$. (You are underpaid, by national standard). But behold my friend there are countries outside of U.S. Norway (57,000$), Germany(35,000$), France(39,000$), U.K (36,000$) with Netherlands actually paying an impressive (70,000$). So looking at the western median. The pay doesn’t seem impressive. The title of the video wasn’t top 100 to take for Americans.
That feel when you double-majored in two F tier degrees 🤣😭
Yikes!
hahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha
What were they? I’m curious
Well as long as enjoy what you end up doing with them. I know I wouldn't enjoy working in many of the S tier industries, except for maybe nursing, but thats certainly not S tier in my country.
@Joe Washington You’re wrong. With a Political Science degree you can be more than a lawyer or professor.
I got a BS in Business Administration and hate my job. I’m not progressing because my employer knows I hate my work. I’m a musician (piano, banjo, guitar, and accordion) and wanted to go to get a music degree. If you like something and it doesn’t pay much just do it anyway. Most likely, if you’re forced into a career path you hate you won’t make much money either because you’ll be bad at it and loathe it.
What do you work as?????
For anyone watching as a physics graduate I highly encourage some planning, if you plan on industry jobs get a minor in mechanical or electrical engineering or c.s it will help you immensely. If you intend on going purely into research I highly recommend a minor in applied mathematics and additional technical writing (grant applications are hyper critical so its also no entirely bad to get additional persuasive writing courses) and if you are a lunatic (like me) get a second major in pure mathematics for theoretical physics and enjoy not having any life outside of school due to the sheer time commitments needed to keep up.
I would love that. Thank you for the advice
would it hurt to do this back to front, i.e. doing a mathematics degree first and then doing a physics or physics adjacent degree second.
@GGray1 not really but more impractical. It's very very easy to go from math to physics, but be careful physics isn't math it just uses math.
Great question, would like to know the answer@@GGray1
Would you say a second major in computer science is too much? Is a minor like you recommended enough to give me good job opportunities if I decide not to pursue a graduate degree? I do worry that the physics degree alone isn't enough.
Great list! Didn't quite see them on here but data science and statistics are also S tier IMO
Data science is usually a masters degree from what I recall
u can get ur undergrad in it in my uni atm
thinking of switching from comp sci to data science tbh
Why ?
@@EnderTrev5 why?
Biology in my opinion is A tier if you're aiming for graduate studies after. It opens up so many doors for various subjects like med school and all kinds of STEM research fields. Not to mention that it makes you eligible for more internship opportunities during undergrad. It all depends on what you want in the future. Even if you don't pursue a graduate degree do you know how much lab managers with only a Bachelor’s get paid??
I won’t even lie biology degrees do not have many jobs for how hard it is to attain one lol😅. I’ll say although I kinda of regret the degree it got me into nootropics and neuroscience stuff which I find extremely useful/interesting.
It’s extremely fucking good if you’re in an agricultural country. Like mine. Honestly it’s better to get a bio degree than a physics degree here.
@@dididogster9994 where do you live?
The only thing an undergraduate Biology degree is good for is if you want to be a science teacher, and even then you'll need to complete (at the very minimum) a post graduate teacher certification. Graduate level is a different story of course.
@@Mdksupreme1 New Zealand.
I think you missed a big one: Cybersecurity. It's very popular at my uni. In the next ten years, it will probably be the most useful degree out there
It’s just an applied study of computer science
Don't really need a degree for that
@@DAN-ed9uk you sure? You need to do computer science
@@NoRockinMansLand From the stuff Ive heard, tech jobs like web develpoement, cyber security, etc dont need one though it is udeful to have one. Its just much harder without one.
@@DAN-ed9uk My experience (friend works in IT at a help desk, got laid off, got another 2 years of menial work under his belt while being homeless till he moved in with us.) A Uni degree is VERY helpful to cram as much knowledge into your brain in as short as possible amount of time. That being said, the degree won't earn you a job, unless you get a good internship, as many of the interviews are skill/competency based, YOU MUST COMPLETE OUTSIDE WORK. You basically HAVE to live and breath computers and computer systems and tooling. My friend builds weird computer kits, programs and makes machines for fun. Even when he was dead broke he worked as a repairman for a computer company. (All you Apple users out there should know, working staff get paid far less than a living minimum wage for fixing your Macbook latte mistake. Ditto if they are a private contractor who may or may not provide health insurance or dental.) Learning the systems hardware and more of the theory meant he was able to get a slightly better paying job (while still not being able to afford to live on his own. What can I say? Where we lived housing costs are ludicrous.) that then served as a foot in the door for a much better job.
Lessons learned include: 1) Stay current with your industry. If you have learned everything there is to know about a subject, it's time to keep learning. The basic skills won't desert you but the rest of the world will if you don't have updated knowledge.
2) The lowest man on the totem pole is the first to leave and the laziest people eventually will get fired after the first round of budget cuts. Do your best to not be them but on the flip side, don't stay where you have security if there are better options out there for making money. On a risk reward ratio, there is usually something similar to what you are doing that doesn't include a crazy amount of all or nothing risk once you have a skill set. You are simply working to learn more and refine that skill set.
3) College degrees are a pain. Teachers are often behind when you go to a middling or fair Uni/college because they took the teaching job as a boost to their income or because they got left behind at the latest tech revolution. Their going rate was low and the college budget for staff wasn't much higher, even if they pay well. The best Uni instructors are usually so in demand as experts that they don't end up teaching very many of their own classes. That is a trade off to going to a more recognized school is that you get the best teachers but they are not always available because they are so well regarded and necessary. At any time, the Professors can and often do leave Academia when they are tired of the politics, have more idealistic, or interpersonal goals to pursue.
That being said:
4) College degrees area a pain, but if you want to transition into management, sales, finance, AI, or any form of modeling/start up, you need the very basic knowledge that most people acquire at there.
If your bosses are a college graduates, you are also one, and therefore your understanding of the work it took to earn it is simpatico to one another. That is how you get a job after you want to make a career switch. A degree is not a requirement to be in the middle level of any corporation but if you want to move up within it or start your own company, Uni connections and better business knowledge is essential. Having started in a corporate level job gives you boatloads of connections and opportunities on a professional level to reach out and up. Find a friend at work. Trust carefully but make some sort of connections. Being nice to people and being a good (creative) worker will go far when you need a recommendation from someone else in another department or area to seek out other jobs. Being nice and being competent get you as far as you will go sometimes.
As a Computer science major, this makes me wanna try harder in college
Same
Same here. I was just here to see where compsci ranked. Thank God it's one of the best degrees out there
If it weren't for the market unsteadiness it would hands down be the best. I started CS a year and a semester ago (with no coding knowledge) and have an offer to make over $50 an hour this summer, from lots of hard work, preparation, and a lifetimes worth of luck.
@@joshurlay Dude that's awesome to hear. How were you able to land a job like that? I'm assuming through somebody you know due to your lack of experience. I do a lot of networking but I'm so scared to actually do an interview, feels like I don't know enough. I have a good amount of experience with python and javascript. I'm a junior in college rn, should I try interviews anyway even if I don't feel ready enough?
@@josefrailecofc It was actually from trying and failing interviews :) I failed about 3 before I got good at them. Do interviews and don't expect to do well until you fail the first few. There will come a point where you will be able to talk about your experiences and have to fall back on things you obviously rehersed before it. I'm also a junior (Spring 2024), and it helped that I was a little good at leetcode (even though there was none during the interview, just an OOP type problem that was challenging enough).
Lastly, I was not ready at all when I got my internship offer. You think you don't feel ready with javascript and python? I didn't even know css yet, let alone javascript. What got me the job though is that I scheduled my interview 3 months out and got to show one of my 3 interviewers the difference in the resume I applied with and my resume now. I learned a lot of great things to put on my resume through the Odin project online, and those skills are what allowed me to speak openly about my experiences and get me my internship.
The main advantage of networking right now I think is the ability to build skills along side other people and learn from them. For me, I always asked people how they learned, Iif they had advice, and how specific CS topics worked (although chat gpt probably would give me the same answer nowadays).
Finally, I got my internship because reddit gave me interviewing tips. They said to ask questions and be open and up front if you don't know something. I cannot understate that enough, ask questions and clarify things, even if you're 100% you know what they mean. It would have saved me 2 interviews before, but I'm glad I didn't then because I wouldn't have gotten the great offer I have today.

A thing worth noting about philosophy is that it's a quite topheavy profession/education. So there are a few people that I know, who are really good personal development coaches or help companies develop a business "philosophy" so that they have consistent integrity etc. Definetly a very broad education with a lot of possibilities, but also traps.
Also lot of people with philosophy degrees end up going on to law school.
I personally do not understand why a bachelor in History always receive so much hate. It may just be some way of thinking in America (luckily I'm European).
I will be finishing my BA in 'History' (minoring in Social Science) this summer and thereafter begin my MSc in 'International Security & Law'. I'm incredibly motivated and have already enjoyed numerous compliments about my combination of degrees.

Hi Shane, great video!
I don't like my Radio/TV degree in Canada because yes not only is it a dying degree due to streaming services, social media, and the recent media layoffs; But if I was taking this degree, per se, in the 1990s, where UA-cam and streaming didn't exist, I would be successful in my career.
As someone who grew up with MTV in the 90s and the 2000s and aspired to be the next Carson Daly for example, this degree is not worth it. Mostly everyone in my degree wants to do sports broadcasting, especially hockey. In generalization, I don't care what you pursue, but doing hockey does not make you authentic. But due to the recent changes happening in news, entertainment, etc. etc. sports journalism/broadcasting is the only surviving factor in this industry.
Even starting a UA-cam channel is tough, but I applaud your success, Shane. I just started doing real estate photography and digital marketing and couldn't be happier with my choice.
I'm a freshman at a university in florida and we actually just changed the name of our Radio/TV major to Media Production & Management. This is my major and I think its a lot better suited for the current world than the old one.

Marketing is 100% correlation and not causation. It has nothing to do with the fact that they took the degree it just has to do with the fact that the majority of the people who choose that happened to be really good self-starters and very creative.

Geography can be a phenomenal choice if you plan well. Focusing more on physical geography and combining it with urban planning, hazard analysis, natural resource management is really good. But that is only good when solidified by GIS applications and especially remote sensing courses and some python courses. Geography is definitely one of those degrees where you have be cautious about because it is so broad but focusing on natural resources, hazards, urban planning with GIS and data science is an excellent path that provides a lot of opportunity
If people actually understood what goes into Supply Chain Management they wouldn't think it was boring. Its 1000x more interesting and creative than something like accounting or finance. SCM is essentially 90% constant problem solving using a combination of experience and theory like Lean, Six Sigma, Theory of Constraints, Value Stream Mapping, Takt Time, ect. I am less than a year from graduating and have found the subject to be far more interesting than my other business common core classes.
Hopefully you get your wish and job will keep up with your expectations because often the jobs are not as fun as the degree. i.E. you do all that interesting stuff in engineering and then end up as a fulltime CADmonkey cause thats whats most in demand.
@@storage9578 that's literally every degree. SCM at a basic level is simply more fun than Accounting or Finance. You can revamp entire manufacturing processes and work with engineers to implement process improvements.

I'm sure other areas of SCM aren't nearly as exciting as manufacturing, but I'm not going to be working in them.
@@renedelgado1572 I'd say if you want to go into supply chain management, you should just study industrial engineering as you'll still be able to go into supply chain management but you also have all sorts of options like e.g. sales or consulting.

Consulting is mostly experience based so I cannot speak to that.

Hi shane, I think the differentiation between environmental science and studies can be tricky. My boyfriend’s university doesnt have an environmental science degree title. Its called an environmental studies degree with a science track, which focuses on everything an environmental science program would do with the addition of GIS programs and environmental economics and laws, and they have a social track which focuses more on the useless stuff like a political science degree but for the environment. I have not seen any employment differences for jobs looking for environmental degrees with that title difference. He has gotten the interviews for the jobs just the same way
Yes, Geography and Environmental Science/Studies degrees tend to be like that. They have a more liberal arts side and more of a technical/physical side that is more practical and teaches you skills that you would actually use in the real world. I am doing a Geography degree with a Geospatial science track that focuses more on GIS classes and remote sensing because that is what many jobs use on a daily basis. Unfortunately, these degrees tend to be greatly misunderstood by the general public and most employers which is why it may be difficult to get hired and you may have to explain more than other people what you actually learned because some people think it's useless.
@@orpix34 its true but you can describe these skills in your resume so that the hiring manager understands! My boyfriend just got offered an environmental science job without any problems. He described all these skills on resume and during interview.
i don't get why he put Geography and Geology in B tier but then put Environmental Science as C tier. The jobs are really similar and even the majors here at UCLA are almost identical. Like as an environmental Science major, I still learn GIS and a lot of earth science. People tend to either work for the government or as environmental consultants after college
Philosophy is S-tier. Philosophy is the foundation of all math and science. Without philosophy, and it's formal logic, truth tables, and discrete math the world would be in big trouble. Some of the best programmers I worked with were philosophy majors (and history majors).
Good overall list, but healthcare careers should be first and majors such as family guidance should be much higher in real life situations.
I quit being a dev because of the constant career push to always be a contractor. Plus AI is going to take a lot of jobs even other jobs such as accounting, data analytics, and even teachers.
But what jobs are you gonna get with that? It ain't gonna be much relevant
Love your channel Shane!!!

What's up with biochemistry? It seems like you keep switching it between A and B tier. You've said before that it's better than biology and chemistry, but you ranked it lower than chemistry here. Which one is it? I am confused 😬
Biochemistry really shouldn’t be higher than chemistry. It’s much more narrow and there are less jobs available for them
@@francis2728 isn't it broader because it covers biology and chemistry?
Not really because the chemistry they take is very surface level and is not that much different than what a regular biology major would have to take for instance. A biochemist only chemistry job would probably be limited to R&D
@@francis2728 I suppose it depends on the program, but in mine the only difference is I don't have to take physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, or chemistry research. Instead I have to do physical biochemistry and biochemistry research. I suppose your program could have a big difference.
@@jamie91995 in my program the biochemist only take general chemistry and organic and their focus is on molecular biology. So their focus and work is limited to biological systems while chemists can work beyond biotech ( chemicals, manufacturing…). At least that’s how it’s advertised to us so I’m clearly biased towards chemistry
Exercise Physiology is what I'm studying which I agree the degree on its own is pretty lame. You make like $55k max. Hoping to go to Med school or PT with it. I wanted to study something I was interested in during undergrad while still fulfilling my pre reqs. Thanks for the video Shane.
Go into nursing, PT, or OT.
I am studying PT now! but I have no idea if I wanna continue with it as a job or go to med school after .
Chemistry finally made it to a tier! Nice:D
The only S tier degree is the one that you find most interesting. The rest are F tier. Period
Can you do one about the best certifications? As an older guy, I don't have time to go sit in school for 4 years getting a Bachelors or even 2 years getting an associates. I need something that I can obtain in a year or less. It would be great to see a video like that.
if you like computes you can do the digital marketing that he recommends at the end of the video, it has a google cert for advertising.
I'd say welding, CDL or forklift operator
IT Help Desk through COMPTIA A+ certification
What do you wanna do? That's the real question
you could become a paramedics, learning takes 6 months and 1 year of training
I'm a nursing student, seeing you put our major on the s tier is increasing my confidence in my major, even though in my country we are not appreciated and mocked, they putting aside the risks and difficulties we face. Developing country matters🏳🤐
The virgin picking a major based on income vs the chad following your passion and getting after it.
The chad that skips college vs the virgin that's 6 figures in student loan debt and a useless degree
@@pbevburner No one said that can't happen. But let's face it. Not all degrees are equally useful, and the stats are the stats. So, he did nothing wrong by ranking a gender studies degree below an engineering degree.
My passion is making money - Finance
Finishing my Bs in IT(A tier) summer of 2023 and got into a Management Information Systems (S tier) Graduate program fall 2023🤓
How is it ? Especially work life and the pay?
Hey Shane, could you make a video discussing the differences between Business Technology Management and Management Information Systems?
really depends just on the coursework, lowkey both of em could be the same just different naming.
@@takethepillingodwetrust1510 yeah that's what I'm thinking. I just applied to the BTM program at Toronto Met U. I think it's called Business Technology Management in Canada but Management Information Systems in the US.
@@mixemmaxemtaxem4134 there’s actually universities in the US that also have it called business technology management. There’s a lot of name variations for MIS. Some call it business information systems. Some call information technology management and much more. They are all similar degrees tbh. Just look in the coursework and see whether it’s more business heavy or tech heavy.
@@david_thao mine is management informations systems and honestly, it has almost all cs courses besides the math ones, which have been replaced with some courses of maths alongside business core courses.
It’s the same shit BTM is Canadian and MIS is American tbh 95% percent sure
I'm currently studying Information Technology and I am already receiving job opportunities because ive passed cisco courses (I have a networking specialization). I appears that people with knowledge on computer networking and network management are in high demand.
REMEMBER! Chose what you love doing, and not what you’re paid! You’ll end up with a much happier life if you pursue a career you actually enjoy
Swap between music and philosophy and the list will be perfect
I think the chart for Biomedical Engineering is the wrong one. The career pay doesn’t make sense and the final score was 18.55 whereas for Bioengineering it was 67.93 even though you mentioned Bioengineering has slightly worse stats.
Thank you, Shane.
I am a college graduate and I work only as a pole dancer! I make more money more than any degree here 😅 last year I made $700k and than besides the gifts and trips that I had for free ❤
What u gonna do when u get older tho
@@nimics already invested my money into real estate and other businesses, so don’t worry about me 😉
@@nic3doll864 hope that plan is recession proof especially this year when prices have already been dropping since last year
@@nimics honey don’t line in the states! Plus it already made me a few millions
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤡💩
so we are ranking these inversely proportional to the amount of sleep you are able to get right? As a CS student who is also studying econ, and knowing many med students I can definitely say that computer/engineering/information studies ranks very high in the "no sleep" category.
It depends on how many credits you take in my opinion. I take 12 as a CS major and sleep just fine. It I took 16 I wouldn't though.
You will have loads of employment opportunities and money right out the gate, as will engineering majors.
I do a double degree with business and international business. I learn Marketing, business Management, Finance, Human resource management, economics and Accounting.
Hi sorry to bother you but do you think a BSc in Marketing and Management is worth it based off of ur experience? Thanks
@@f1ow3r_10 I'd say long as you know how to use pivot tables and detailed excel functions, you got your moneys worth. It looks like a solid degree + I'm swinging the same way (though might master or minor in poly sci)
Thank you for the video I left a Like
I’m interested in pursuing the business administration major because I heard it’s more of the more broad majors and offers many opportunities. I heard that this is good for you if you aren’t sure what you want to do as a career. What are the cons with this major?
too general, many graduates per year
Go for more specific like information systems, finance or accounting. Way better pay and overall satisfaction with the degree.
Sounds like it'd be hard to find entry level job.
Get an information technology major if you are unsure. Or go into finance.
Its a little too broad, there’s not much you can do with just a business digree, usually its better to take business administration as a masters to build on a more specialized and/or in demand major
The question is do you choose a major because it interests you or because it’s a good choice career wise. I’d say if you’re really smart you’ll probably choose something that interests you, but if you’re not really smart, by which I mean you’re not likely to pull really good grades, then following the career path is the smart decision.
Accounting and finance has to be in S category not only engineering ones🧐
Bro you did really well in this video tanks. ❤
Great video overall, I will say though If your gonna put Nursing in S tier then you should put accounting and finance in S tier. I personally majored in finance and know many finance majors that make more than nurses (and quite frankly just about any other major). Just my opinion.
A bachelor's in biochemistry is a stepping stone degree. As a biochem major, every one of my classmates went into either DVM, PhD, MD, or DO programs. Its a way to show rigor for the applications for the aforesaid doctorate programs.
Can you put timestamps for this?
No
we're in 2023 and ppl refuse to put time stamps on videos
Nice got both A tiers for my double major, finance and econ,
I want to learn computer science but i can see that the market is kinda dead.
Its very hard to get entry level job in 2024.
Is it right?
time stamps, please
Hi Shane, great video! I’m curious whether these rankings take into account the future-proofing of these degrees, especially considering the impact of automation and the shift from fields like Computer Science to AI. Are these rankings still quite volatile in light of these factors?
With my Associate's Degree, I can choose between business or computer programming. I choose computer programming because its a high salaries major and will be very great in the future. My official major is Computer Science ( Bachelor of Science ) in Lehman College for my Bachelor's Degree.
what do u think of business information technology!
It’s basically Management information system but broader and with more technical skills it’s a good degree
@@El75390 could it be like BI?
@@JeeN-pm7wu business intelligence?They are related just BIT is broader
where will you put "media and communication" degree
accounting and finance are very different to one another. Finance makes a small part of accounting
Honestly, you should add an "F-" tier, for stuff like Gender Studies
Hey Shane, I've been watching your videos for over 2 years now. I appreciate all the details you provide but I would like to kindly note the following:
1) You need to place emphasis on the country/location. I believe your target audience is American, but a considerable amount of the information you share is definitely not applicable in other areas.
For instance, I come from a southern European country. Our industries are different, as well as our job markets.
I am an English major and I really do agree that it's a relatively easy degree with several limitations, but it is not as bad as you present it. We are not an Anglophone country, therefore English is not taken for granted. You are able to find employment in Education years before your graduation (although with a terrible salary). Private lessons are super common. Translation & Localization are positions offered in many companies + EU institutes. Language technology (e.g., NLP/Computational Linguistics) is another option with career paths in Amazon, Apple etc. Tourism is also linked with foreign languages. Military translators are very rare, but they exist. Administrative positions can also be acquired. Copywriting/Technical Writing/Proofreading/ Editing are also in demand. Speech Pathology is also another potential career prospect.
Additionally, as an English major you are given the right to start your own Foreign Language Institute.
My colleagues found employment within weeks. Obviously, our salaries are terrible in comparison to the average American income. But, it is NOT a degree thing. My dad is literally a university professor. His salary is extremely low considering his qualifications & field.
Your own degree is extremely limited here. Essentially, you're only able to have your own Pharmacy store (which obviously needs a lot of money if there is no family business behind) or work in Toxicology, which requires a Master's. Your other alternative is to work as an employee in a Pharmacy store. Anything else is really unlikely to occur through meritocracy at least.
2) You don't take into consideration that in many European countries, third level education is free. I didn't pay a penny studying English. In addition, my field does not require any special equipment. Graduates with a degree in Dentistry, Veterinarian studies, Pharmacology usually need A LOT of money for their own career needs, unless they want to be employees as mentioned before.
Law is also an extremely oversaturated field here. If you don't have the right connections, the average salary is around 700-1200 euros per month (not entry level!).
Almost 99% of Geologists need to seek employment abroad. It's almost a waste of time to study this incredibly interesting science.
Biochemistry majors are also really underrated financially and they usually need doctorate degrees or at least a master's.
There are literally way too many engineering departments with fields like Mining Engineering being a synonym for unemployment. For instance, there's a lot of competition in Civil & Architectural engineering since the annual total of graduates outnumbers the amount of jobs available.
I feel really sorry for the situation in my country, but I am just pointing out how the information you share might not be entirely correct in other parts of the world.
This video makes me all the more nervous on going to Emory for a bachelors in Biology. Granted I plan on going the PhD route (for genetics and genomics)
Lmao same, majoring in genetics/cell biology.
Seeing Technology Management in S tier is amazing, 90% chance I take it this upcoming fall
Has anyone here pursued a graphic design degree? If so has it worked out for you? I want to go into a creative field and I’m interested in this field but thought it wasn’t worth it yet it seemed pretty decent in the video…
Going into the creative field is great, if you want to be dependent on others or broke your entire life. I guess if you are a girl it doesn't really matter since you are just gonna marry a dude who will pay the bills.
@@vilxxblack2472 dang bro way to be not helpful and super rude.
@@vilxxblack2472 Who hurt you?
I think graphic design is pretty good. You can go into UI/UX design or product development. If you couple graphic design with skills like coding/marketing, you can also branch out into different avenues.
@@halahsmith9931 I'm just being real with you. You parents clearly weren't if you are considering the creative field lmao. That or you come from a lot of privilege.
Happy New Year!
@Shanehummus : If you had to pick which would be best. bachelor of applied science with minor in PM and MIS or Bachelor of arts in business administration major PM and MIS?
Bro is the living amalgamation of every Indian parent ☠️☠️
I am not English or American and at first I did not understand what is environmental science. I thought it is something like geology. Is geology/oil chemistry paid small? Considering that oil, gas and other things like that maintain the whole worlds.
Or am I mistaken?
I love how computer science was a no brainer S - tier😁
job market in the tech industry is oversaturated though.
Not if you work hard and climb up the ranks.
@@allthingsfortnite9284 I really do hate to say this, but working hard is an expectation not a goal. It does nothing for social mobility, and rarely ever does one “climb ranks” by working harder.
😊
@@andrew-song so what does it take? Connections
Baccalaureate (Bachelor's degree) in Latin: baccalaureatus - "decorated with laurels." The winner of the competition is called the laureate. Translated from Latin - "laurel branch". In ancient Greece, Olympic champions were decorated with laurels, and emperors were also decorated with laurels. Names: Lawrence, Lorenzo, Laura are associated with laurels. Why is laurel such a cool plant?
Nice info
pretty interesting
Do trades. Blue collar jobs , technician jobs
Thank you ❤
Thanks for watching!
For the accountant's early and mid-career pay was it with a CPA or without?
Those numbers are without
Part of a philosophy degree is to mold how you think, how could such be of no impact to a future career?
Is there a big difference between Electronics Engineering and Computer Engineering? Isn't the curriculum almost similar? I'm contemplating on which one to pick...
Dude... i hate to be that guy but if that's the way your line of thinking goes then those two degrees aren't for you.
@@greenyt686 how does that answer my question? I mean you don't even know why I'm interested in this field or where I would like to apply the knowledge...
I would think they would share 90% of the same curriculum.
Where can I find this table from video ?
Note that when you were explaining Art History you used the numbers from chemical engineering. Not a big deal but thought you should know.
The link between IQ and wealth on the researth I've seen, shows a extremely low correlation, so I would like to know where you have the information that a high IQ correlates to being better off economically.
Can you maybe make a video about the degrre Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS). To me, it seems to combine the benefits of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and you can get into jobs in either field with minor advantages
if you are interested in both of these degrees, just pick computer engineering, because it is exactly the mix beetwen CS and EE.
@@lucasamaral6634 As far as I've looked at it, this is not exactly the case. Of course, there are many, many similarities and it depends on each university, but from what I've found, Computer Engineering has more a focus on the hardware and software of computer systems.
While Computer Science does have a focus on the software logic of computer systems, the Electrical Engineering part focuses not only on the hardware of computer systems but also on the development of electrical systems in general, such as power systems and electronic devices other than computer systems.
Therefore, i think the EECS degree offers a greater variety of topics and you have more options when you want to specialize into a niche.
EECS is amazing. Instant S-Tier
Engineering good
Arts bad
🤪🤪
Ig if all you care about is money sure but is it really so bad it more people are trained to think critically about the world and how we interact with each other?
I’m between Management info systems and cybersecurity to pursuing which one is better?
Go with MIS if youre unsure of what you want to do. This major covers a lot of subjects and you can find what you like. Generally, there’s IT, networking, security, and coding classes in MIS. You can still enter the cybersecurity field with MIS degree if you get internships and certifications. Only go for cybersecurity if you for sure want to go in that field. Cybersecurity is high in demand with high pay. Can’t go wrong with either major tbh.
Both are a great pick mate, but if you’re unsure go with MIS since it’s has some components of cybersecurity and you can combine it with certifications, internships in cybersecurity etc.
@@RuthlessYTHD thx helped a lot
@@david_thao is IT management similar?
cool my current major is A tier (econ) and my poss double major is B tier (IR) :D
I want Computer Science but only IT is available in my area, will I still be able to go toe to toe or go further than a CS if I go IT and get certificates and stuff?
Would computer or software engineering be available in your area instead?
@@milomitchener4166 Sadly, its also not available :(
You'll be fine if you want to stick with code, and know how to write code well, plus have a decent ability in logic. Having a CS degree only really plays a part in research and development, where algorithms and advanced mathematics are used. Anything business related? You'll be fine.
I would like to do a degree in philosophy but I haven't got the brains.
Lol! With regards to doing a physics degree I don't even understand how levers work!
The feeling when you double major in 2 A tier degrees 😎
Tbh honest we shouldn’t really take anyone’s opinion on what we want to study
There’s a degree called Arts Administration which falls under the umbrella of Arts Education. It combines business skills using finance, accounting, or management within arts environments such as nonprofits, universities, museums, and for-profit companies. This degree looks pretty flexible and there appears to be a lot of potential opportunities in this field of study. Can anyone provide insight into this degree?
Sounds interesting I’d like to know too
As a physics student I of course have to say that it is definitely S-Tier
Was about to write logistics and transport systems were forgotten as always but I guess supply chain management counts as that
Was logistics mentioned in the video?
@@gezellevalentine not exactly just SCM
@@Shanghai_cola oki
The only constant you seem to be indicating towards is total number of graduates, which on it's own doesn't seem to be a reasonable way to rank "top 100" degree programs. And then you defy that logic by placing a degree program with fewer graduates per year into a higher tier than two degrees with 5,000 more graduates per year. This video is just all over the place, nothing really to support, explain, or contextualize the ranking.
