whyd u change paths?

I have my own company where we mostly code. Business is a kind of useless degree. I also forget to mention: I studied Business & Economics. There is no skill called business, its just solving problems and that's it. Only courses in a business/economics degree that useful are: Finance & Accounting, Microeconomics 1/2, econometrics and statistics. Marketing for example is mostly just waffle. Generally speaking, as a developer you have more leverage. Read: The Almanack of Naval Ravikant, its by far one of the best books on how to make money if you have the IQ for it.

Both are great paths, and you'll make a lot of money eitherway. It depends more on your personality amd personal interests.

If you haven't applied to college yet you'll have a better chance of getting in as a business major than a cs major since everyone and their dog is doing compsci in college.

@BombayVikings I just realised OP was talking about business degree specifically and not finance/econ/accounting which are the business degrees that actually make money.

jfl OP avoid bachelors in business its a meme degree.

Business is useless unless accounting

Yeah that was my plan to study cs then start a business on my own after cuz i felt like business degree was not that worth unless I wanna be an accountant.

i forgot to mention commerce and finance, whats better that or cs (which makes more money)

 

[max_frisch]

computer science

 

[adotsdot]

comp sci if youre going to study seriously
business for the uni vibes then use free time to build something and hustle

 

[Peltric]

CS all day.

At the average level finance and cs degree holders make the same money, but finance degree holders in executive positions make much more money.

Don't know about commerce.

 

[Deleted member 17920]

what major to live like this?

 

[bara]

If you have the discipline, comp sci.

And this is from someone with a finance ("business") degree.

 

[Deprived]

CS degree is harder but the material is a lot more fulfilling

I absolutely despised intro business classes and my uni has the best business program in the country. Many will disagree with me though and say it’s fun but I thought the course material was extremely boring

How did you learn Comp SCI let alone programming with severely debilitating depression?

 

[SubSigma]

Comp sci

 

[subtochad]

Business is a useless degree, at best you will get a marketing job for like 40k a year out of college. If you graduate CS you are guaranteed 80k starting salary and will almost certainly be making six figures by the time you are 25. CS is harder though so only do it if you think you are intelligent enough

 

[BugeyeBigNoseCurry]

CS major with business minor

 

[Peltric]

CS major with business minor

Nah. CS with a stats minor is much more favorable. BIG DATA is the future.

Do CS and if your American do something alongside it to do with data or AI or security

I feel like there needs to be more clarification on "business" degrees here.

Generally it's a business administration degree and you pick a focus from a wide range of topics such as finance, accounting, marketing, and so on.

The most optimal would be finance or accounting, or both (some degrees allow you to concentrate in both, which is most optimal), everything else is more or less dog water (unless you really want to do marketing/HR or something).

Finance can lead you into S&T (sales and trading), derivatives (if you can juggle finance + comp sci), wealth/portfolio management, FP&A (Financial Planning & Analysis), corporate development, treasury, PE (Private Equity) & IB/M&A (Investment Banking/Mergers & Acquisitions), although the latter 2 (PE/IB) are generally pipe dreams and only if you are coming out of a target school.

Accounting will usually lead you into entry roles at the big 4 (PWC, KPMG, Deloitte, and EY) and eventually you can leverage the big 4 as an exit into high paying roles in consulting, which covers many interesting domains be it tech advisory, finance transformation/financial systems, forensic accounting, and more.

Business degrees in finance & accounting do have high ceilings with interesting roles, its just they get grouped with the other more useless concentrations.

Hitting a 90-100K USD salary 2-3 years in is not uncommon, my first full time role out of Uni in finance this January will be $72K/year, not including overtime and benefits.

Don't know about wealth management, but I do know that employers aren't looking for traders with finance degrees, they are looking for CS/Stats majors who really know their stuff. The finance stuff can easily be understood, but the mathematical reasoning and the ability to solve DE/SC problems can't easily be mastered.

For derivatives (quantitative analysts/financial engineers) = comp sci focus with finance drizzled in.

S&T is still finance/economics graduates but they also take engineering grads and it’s a great way to enter finance if you came out of engineering or other math heavy domain.

You are likely referring to quantitative analysts.

S&T is not as math heavy as equity research or derivatives, it’s mostly a back office role where you are executing trades on behalf of the bank/institution.

Can confirm because I know a bunch of finance grads who were in S&T at the first bank I interned with.

Quant roles were reserved for engineering grads or finance grads with insane GPAs/proven coding track records (githubs, coding competitions etc.)

work from home should be your main goal as a based chad who browses looksmax.org.
Dont be a normie wageslave. Dont put yourself in a debt mindset.
Live with your parents for 2 years and go to community college and then transfer to a 4 year state school to finish your degree.
Apply for FAFSA and get as much free money and subsidized loan as possible.
You dont wanna think about having a "career". You goal should just to make good money working from home doing minimal work as possible to support your lifestyle.

1. actuary 2.accounting 3. finance in that order are the top business majors. if you go the business route dont pick any other majors these are the only three that will get you high paying jobs. Accounting definitely has work from home positions not sure about actuary and finance.

Dont get memed into not going into comp-sci especially if you live in the U.S. Retards will try to tell you that 1 billion pajeets are gonna take over your job, if that was true it would have already happened, american companies want goodgoys that can speak English and got their degrees from a 4 year U.S. university.

Im currently doing accounting but if I could go back i would do: IT major, accounting minor or CS major, accounting minor. I have lots of retarded pajeet friends at the comp sci school are who are getting by just cheating on assignments and doing minimal work for their classes and have internships and comfy job positions laid out after college. College nowadays is a joke anyways youre going there for a piece of paper, all the test and shit are online and you can cheat your ass off in 2022. you might have to go to class for participation or an exam. So your main decision is which piece of paper is worth the most? CS combined with any niche undergrad or just by itself is still the king. trust me if you are a retarded midwit you can do CS its not hard, there are tons of women and blacks at the comp-sci school at my uni. If you are a seriously scared of programming then do the IT route but definitely choose a strong minor as well.

If people thought getting their CPA was hard enough wait till they try becoming an actuary.

Absolutely brutal competition.

If you are going to be an actuary just go into comp sci at that point.

what ur iq

 

[Deprived]

If you are going to be an actuary just go into comp sci at that point.

this tbh, effort reward ratio is shit. Also heard it's common in the UK for math majors to do actuarial work, but the actual job is farther away from mathematical thinking than comp sci.
