I have college paid for. What degree should I get? I'm thinking Cube security so I can work from home eventually. Any fun obscure paths? I could do something like flight school too
>>61653607Cybersecurity, assuming that's what you meant, is a scam unless you know someone in the field that can get you a job, which is almost no one. Even with a degree and certs you need years of experience to get an entry level job. Working from home is of course a pipe dream too. Source: I fell for the cyber security scam.
>>61653607This chart is bullshit I have a bachelor's in accounting and an MBA and I don't make anywhere near $220k a year.
medicine
>>61653659>>61653688cmon bro now you're gonna trigger all the /biz/ larpers who will claim to make 300k a year in Cyberaccounting wfh.
Is cyber security really that low nowadays? When I graduated it was near the top
>>61653659most "cyber security" jobs are IT audit / SOC control wagie nonsense, basically filling out TPS reports all day. it wouldn't surprise me if it weren't mass offshored within 10 years, just like corporate jews are trying to offshore all low level internal audit jobs.
>>61653659>>61653705>>61653711>ybersecurity, assuming that's what you meant, is a scam unless you know someone in the fieldI have a high security clearance which will get my foot in the door. I currently make 150k using just my clearance. I'd stay with this job but I don't want to live here
>>61653699Hospitals and doctor office are even more soul sucking than airports
>>61653734is a security clearance relevant to cybersecurity? again, most jobs are just box checking wagie nonsense. at most, i can only imagine a handful of defense contractors will give two shits about security clearance. corporate america won't care.
>>61653746>is a security clearance relevant to cybersecurity?Lol
>>61653734Security clearance is still irrelevant if you don't have a degree, years of exp, and connections. You're competing with thousands of people in online applications.
>>61653750anon you might want to look up what most cybersecurity jobs entail. leet hax0r pentesting is the extreme minority. most of your work will be testing server configurations and IT software configurations. if their internal controls around "need to know" products are at all reasonable, you won't even be given the slightest view into the details of classified materials.
>>61653766>>61653763You're guys are talking to someone who knows more than you
>>61653737I posted medicine as a non-troll answer because the nature of boomers destorying most other careers and then aging from corporate bosses to diaper wearing retirees means they're going to need tons of doctors and nurses to wipe their asses for cash. That's where the money is. Or pharmacy I guess.
>>61653734>using just my clearanceI also have a clearance and you don't gt shit if you don't have experience and degrees. Why lie on /biz/?
I still think computer science is the best tech degree simply because it opens doors to so many career paths instead of pigeonholing you into small niches that might get wiped out by offshoring or obsolescence. A lot of different kinds of tech jobs will take a computer science degree even if it’s not all that relevant. Furthermore you can choose a focus with your bachelors like cybersecurity as a focus for example or you can decide to keep going to get a masters or phd in machine learning or wherever you see the future of tech going. If you want a tech career I think computer science is the best way to keep your options open.
>guys I make 150k but I want to work in a field that only makes 140kLike are you just wasting my time or what?
>>61653775I agree with you but my brother is an anesthesiologist and it sounds soul sucking to me even if he makes good money
>>61653786Let me ask you something, do you think I was making 150k mostly tax free a year at 26 because of my experience?>>61653793You can't imagine a scenario where someone would take a more comfortable job? You sound naive
>>61653793>a field that only makes 140k>Like are you just wasting my time or what?This RETARD believes every AI generated image he sees posted on the Internet LMAO
>>61653659i fell for cyber scam too i even got experience in undergrad in IT for 2 years.. graduated worked some shit IT job not even in cyber and now im fucked lol
>>61653607>shitty AI garbage made by a jeet to mass post on social media accounts>can't even be bothered to the bullshit numbers in descending orderWon't straighten it because fuck the nigger who generated this trash, I'm just soothing my number autism.
>>61653774if you know so much then why are you asking here?>>61653815see pic
>>61653607All of these salaries are over hyped >MED120k after 15 years. >CS35K-40K, field is flooded.>PE80k, if you can get in. >FINANCE lol. How's 40k sound? >CORPORATE LAW80k, also if you can land it. >PHARMACY If you've been in it for 20years, 100k>AEROSPACE About right, jobs are few. >DATA SCIENCE LMFAO. 25K. >CYBER SECURITY Flooded. Enjoy 35k. >MBAKEK. 45K.
>>61653851med after 15 years make like 1MM a year if u do something insane like neurosurgery or cardio thoracic surgery.. even the shit specialties make at least 250k In the USA of course. Medicine is by far the best choice if you have the aptitude for it and its not even close really.
>>61653833And this anon believes every word of it LMAO >>61653793>>61653835>>61653835>if you know so much then why are you asking here?You're low iq and have no reading comprehension. Those anons are talking about something I have more knowledge than them on. There's a lot of fields I don't know about, if someone started recommending petroleum engineer for some reason I'd listen. Again though, you're not smart enough to understand that
>>61653890When the boomers(largest generation) die the demand for Healthcare will plummet, something to think about
>>61653607>Engineering >Above 100k>Data science>Jobs Wow
>>61653911maybe but dude so many specialties make actually over 1MM i was wrong 2, 3, 5MM for some of these long time attending rural hospitals holy shit med is insane... CT, plastic, GI, ortho, neurosurgery... best profession mannnn
>>61653607IT+Medicine
>>61653607Medicare - foreigner inflated private corp bubble. Tech - dependent on physical Silver. Machine Learning - huge bubble, creating the surveillance state management apparatus. what a shitty economy.
Stop thinking about a shitty W2. W2s are going to be a thing of the past.>>61653659Cybersecurity should be absorbed into IT and business units. It's hell always underfunded, always blamed. Giant game of CYA.
>>61653943I'm at $175k/yr in nuts and bolts engineering while living in a low-end HCOL after 15 years. It's not impossible, but I got lucky and I moved a lot to chase pay so I pretty much wasted my 20's working 60+ hour weeks in cleanrooms to gargle the balls of my corporate overlords.I think $100-120k with experience is do-able and that agrees with BLS for my degree. I'm not particularly special so the rest is pretty much just luck and I'd agree that much more than $100k is unusual at best and a fantasy at worst. Very very few engineers are making $200k-300k+
>>61653708It's still top, but there are no jobs ever since AI revolution happened
>>61653607I will bite really quick.1. An MBA or a finance degree even with a CFA is entirely worthless unless you go to a target school. An MBA can get you a call center wagie job at Fidelity, sometimes, if you also pass a Series 7/63 and it used to pay 40k, maybe pays 60k now, maybe. >>61653688 - to your point - accounting wagie ONLY works with CPA. This is something that everyone in accounting should be told.2. Lawyer jobs are getting to be very rare.3. Surgeons can make way more than 300k.4. Pharmacy seems a bit low, and dental should be there.>>61653708>>61653711This one I don't really know despite knowing some people in the field - I know a guy with an OSCP that he barely passed after grinding and he makes $80,000 or something. He got the job through connections and mainly does basic script injection stuff and runs an AI suite.
(cont)>>61653746>>61653750There are consulting opportunities for defense where a security clearance really helps.>>61653851This is objectively way too low even in flyover. Agree with very few jobs in aerospace and salary being that if you can get them. Same with industrial engineering.>>61655490Normal engineering seems to cap hard. I have never heard of a mech/electrical/etc engineer making that much, and that's with the whathumacall it professional engineer cert.
>>61653943> data science> call yourself a data or business analyst, make 100k It's the easy. If you are able to work with big data and consume AI models and maybe write 2 lines of Python with ChatGPT, there are still jobs to be found at double that in flyovers, or at least 150k.Everything I am saying is in the context of Indian, Kentucky, and Ohio, not magic San Fran / NYC jobs.
>>61653607Sucks I got a worthless degree (comp sci) but I guess most of them are trashDidn't have to pay for mine, but still
>>61655811The question is what other degree you could have gotten, and the answer might be done other than medicine or if you want to wipe asses as a nurse.Engineering (mech, E, civil, aerospace, etc) already went through this cycle where it became over-saturated as hell and landed at an equilibrium where the at-least-100 IQ and SOME studying requirement keeps it afloat.Finance and all business degrees have neither the IQ requirement or the study requirement, so they took a bigger hit.That's all to say that while comp sci crashed HARD in the last 3 years, it's doubtful that you could have gotten a better result with anything else without getting into an extreme niche with extreme luck or having the resources to sit through medical for 10 years.
>>61655807>there are still jobs to be found at double that in flyovers, or at least 150k.
>>61653905>retard seething because his lies get called out again>"HA, THE IMAGE IS WRONG, MOST PEOPLE CTUALLY MAKE EVEN LESS IN THIS FIELD BTFO!"LolLmao/biz/ is such a fucking waste of time.
>>61656047You believe every AI Slop picture someone posts on the Internet LMAO
>>61655782>accounting wagie ONLY works with CPA.Does it even work then? I have a friend who is a CPA and seems to work a ridiculous amount of hours. There's no way he's making over even $150k after years of this. Can't imagine it being worth the effort.
>>61653607CS has high risk high reward now.>>61653705Why is 4chan /biz/ so anti-comfy now. I always feel so poor, and judged here. Everyone has between 500k-1million stock accounts 3 million crypto accounts and 150-300K year jobs. Nobody is actually hustling on any grind just already cashed to the tits they almost invest only because its a fun hobby for them.
>>61656110I think people assume you work on your own with a CPA. You definitely working 50 hours minimum during the busy season at a firm
>>61656132
>>61655490This is pretty reasonable. I've got my doctorate in ChemE and work for a small (sub 50 people) company in the Ohio Valley. I'm getting $92,500 with fairly shit benefits, but I wfh once a week and have an extremely chill supervisor and set of coworkers. It's weird having had firms try and headhunt me, then see those companies crash and burn in the news like 5 months later, too. Gotta be selective about who you'll jump ship for.>>61655807based KOI man.>>61656038We still make things here, and handling large datasets is important.
