My folks are pressuring me to get into college soon but I have zero idea what I want to do besides the fact I hate math and don't want to get into CompSci. Even though I don't really see myself doing trades, should I just learn one and/or kms?

Business Administration. It sounds fancy, you basically learn how to do business, but the math is minimal and it's respectable enough to apply for most corpo jobs. You may have to slog pre-calc and finance but with AI tools the math gets easy once you learn how to abuse the functions of a TI-83 calculator.

Become a pharmacist; the pay is ok, the workload is light, and there’s hardly any stress.

Philosophy is useful. Especially when coupled with >>34769292 . Teaches how to think. Applicable to everything.
>>
>>34769202
Computer Science is dead. Avoid any field that is programming, go medical, that field is going to be one of the only ones untouched for the next 5-10 years, after that it's anything goes desu.

Phlebotomy
Radiologist
Anesthesiologist
etc

Go specialty if you want less commitment than something bigger like an actual MD. Point is, pretty soon stem is gonna only be SEM

Who the fuck wants to go to school for 12 years?

Business Analytics and Computer Science help if you are like me and you don't want to rely on the world and be kept to yourself in your own home.

Nta
My aunt is anesthesiologist.
She's really weird but she makes bank and lives alone in her own house with her like 9 dogs and 5 cars.

go into an easy technical trade like networking or wire running. you'll always be in demand, you'll make good money, have good benefits, and only do light physical work every day coupled with simple technical work.

I heard that pharmacists work irregular hours and days. Also, you need to be highly trained because you are responsible for medication that could kill people if distributed incorrectly. The workload may be light, but you have to pay attention and focus.
>>
>>34769202
Medical are literally the only degrees still worth it if you don't have family connections

Doctor, radiologist, pharmacist, anesthesiologist, just pick one and go for it

What do you want to be when you grow up? Without getting specific, ask yourself some very broad questions about your future job. Do you see yourself in an office, store, factory, truck, outdoors, or what? Working in a suit, jeans, uniform, overalls, or what? Working mainly with brain, voice, hands, back or what?

There are exceptions, but most of what used to be called White Collar jobs require college, while for most Blue Collar jobs college would be a waste of time.

As to what to study in college, that is - believe it or not - irrelevant. Only about 25% of college grads wind up working in the field of their studies. The rest use the skills, and not book-learning, they developed and transfer them to a business setting.

>What do you want to be when you grow up?
Nothing really. All I really want is a roof over my head and enough money to live comfortably. I'm not particularly passionate about anything besides video games and I don't really see myself working in that industry.

>Do you see yourself in an office, store, factory, truck, outdoors, or what?
Hopefully something indoors where I could work by myself and not be bothered, I guess.

Just start with General Ed or Business Admin, you can change if you figure out an interest

Idk where you are from, but Pharmacy, ESPECIALLY if you plan to work where you graduate/your country of residence.
--- (insert reddit space here) ---
Studying Pharmacy as an American and graduating in the US is diamonds - you get to immediately work and learn US-relevant stuff. However, if you are an overseas pharmacist, recognizing your qualifications or the process of switching to host-country's clinical guidelines and stuff might be a headache, but even then, it's still worth it.

What's with all this shilling of becoming a pharmacist? The job sounds nice but I hate/am bad at chemistry, math, and science.
>>
>>34772177
Just study and master everything just-in-time. Medicinal chemistry and other aspects are not relevant too much. No need to get perfect grades. Maybe only clinical pharmacology and therapeutics courses might be relevant and job-practical but most of that shit is theoretical. Don't sell yourself short. If Indian JEETs and other third worldies can do it, so can you.

cont.
Moreover, for 4chan, reddit and any other online space:
Don't ask how good a job is. The ones killing it are too busy to reply to you and those that reply are either neets or low IQ losers who complain about everything and want a perfect life. Everything has its pros and cons, but again, being an endogenous (local) pharmacist is diamonds. If oversea pharmacists are making killer money, imagine how much you can make as a native.
