Which Bachelors and which Masters degrees, if any, will get you as close to $120k+ immediately upon graduation nowadays?

Bonus if the career:
>Is easy.
>You don't really need to know/remember much of the degree.

God mode:
>Easy.
>Don't need to know/remember much of the degree.
>The degree can be credible while being from an online college.

Is there such a thing?

Also, rank the following from most applicable to this criteria to least.

Bachelors:
>Information Technology
>Business
>Marketing
>Data Analytics
>Computer Science
>Cybersecurity

Masters:
>Information Technology
>Business
>Marketing
>Data Analytics
>Computer Science
>Information Technology Management
>Cybersecurity

Which of these are an easy $120k+ while being relatively easy and not requiring much remembering the degree?

No idea. I have a pretty high security clearance and think I'm going for cyber security. Software dev seems saturated and I'm too dumb for all the engineering degrees(I learned pretty much no math in highschool). I make $150k now but want to work from home and I'll quit this job to achieve that

While I agree, it seems the only way other than manual labor/trades to make $100k+. And maybe, if you go for the right degree, especially online, you can avoid the indoctrination and large debt.

What do you do? What were the requirements?Why don't you like it? For $150k a year, I would cling to that.

Security is even deader than software engineering. Not to mention the job itself is just compliance box ticking and you'll be the first to go in any lay off.

You should study something you're actually interested in instead of just looking at pay. There are "losers" and "winners" in all of the degrees you listed. If you just want to look at data some universities, like the one I went, to publish post-graduation survey reports. These reports include employment rate, salaries, job titles etc. These reports usually have a few people earning way more than others, but there's also people earning way less. Who they work for and where they're working are the bigger factors.

geology or mining or petro engineer.

mining and drilling companies sometimes pay laborers close to $120k to start. They pay geologists and engineers even more.

Call me an autist but I disagree. I stay up late just listening to lectures on it. What with the fields accountants can pursue, the helpful role they play, the expertise they provide, the sheer mechanics behind every decision, gosh it gets my heart fluttering just a little. In a super gay way of course. Best decision I ever had was pursuing bookkeeping just to get my foot in the door. I just think its all so fun! Plus, the fact 75% of CPAs are retirement ready boomers while being a field that no young person jumps at. With literally a 1 in 3 rate of the low percent of the new bloods who do actually make it into the field end up just pursuing a CPA. The future is so bright for accounting. AI and all.

>>62239726
I did engineering and it fucking sucks, wish I did geology. I'd rather be in the field taking samples for 50k a year then being in an office all day.

Computer/electrical engineering with a focus on FPGA work. As well the computer science knowledge related to systems topics like networking, OS, concurrency etc.

Basically do some nice undergrad research/seminar project and get a job doing fpga/asic work at a prop/hft firm.

The shit isnt ass blasted by learn2code normies and visajeets since its genuinely harder and more narrowly focused.

You're going to be hard pressed to make that right out of school unless you live in SF or NYC but there are a lot of careers that you can put 1-2 years into at a starter job then hop to a role around there

Western governors university

>>62240392
This. Combine this with credits from Sophia, straighterline, or study.com and you can get a degree in a year if your smart about it. Sure, you won't get to network, but you can break into interviews you otherwise would be barred from.

You don't need an engineering degree to be a plant operator. You just need a 1-2 year diploma at least where I'm from.

You're wrong because even though the job is easy the cost of getting it wrong can be millions of dollars for the company so they would much rather pay someone 200k to sit on their ass and take the blame if something goes wrong.
And this isn't just hypothetical on my part, a friend of mine had this happen to him. He was in a challenging but rewarding position as a programmer got offered a promotion with a significant pay bump and now he says he basically does nothing but babysit servers and a few other people.

I go to state uni for accounting bba, but I made vla ai agents do all my homework on the stupid icollege website while all I do is study chainlink tools and only internship I applied to is cll. I hope I make it one day.

Don't worry. All the entry level accounting jobs are already gone, so there's no harm in cheating through class.

The ONLY guaranteed thing nowadays is nursing if you want to focus on money or teaching if you want to focus on work life balance. Everything else is a crapshoot, see below.

>>62239726
This. No matter how employable a certain degree is you will struggle to find jobs if you're not passionate and don't really know what you're doing. With the exception of nursing and teaching.
>>
>>62242921
Hard disagree. I have seen multiple times it's the first thing to go when the budget needs to be trimmed. One of those companies even got ransomware'd after, but it never fell on anybody because the cost of getting hacked once is worth the savings of never having to pay for security again (of course that assumes they'll only get hacked once, but this is how executives think about these things)

There are so many horror stories of people doing that shit, you might as well just start a business or enter Law Enforcement.

Least with manual labor/trades you start getting paid immediately. Who wants to live that broke bitch college life?

>>62239559
Honestly speaking manual labor is better than just flat out being the fucking fall guy.

Forgot pic. You are not going to be stable in computer focused jobs/tech. Youll work your ass off, get promoted into some "comfy" WFH position, then be let go and have to start from scratch.

If this person (or his wife) got a minimum wage job working 30 hours a week they would have 16 months of runway instead of 11.

I saw two people on my Facebook friends list graduate this week

Of all things, Masters in accounting and a Phd in Computer Science.
Honestly flabbergasted. 2 of the most un-AI proof fields and they kept on 'educating' themselves in it.
>>
>>62239513
it's not about degree, it's about the college itself. if you go to Harvard you can easily network into $120k starting.
if you go to Bunker Hill Community College - good luck.
