To become a UHNWI or billionaire you don't necessarily need to attend university.

Today ALL self-made Billionaires are from the Software Background

There are some business-savvy guys, that operate outside of software, too.

And a elite minority of Billionaire Fund Managers.


To conclude Business Informatics is probably the best choice

It combines Computer Science & Mathematics with Business & Business Informatics Content.

Thus providing the most relevant knowledge of scientific domains.

The idea is that if you study physics, your brain will become so good at problem solving, that you can pick up everything else in really short time. Pretty much everything is on kindergarten level compared to what you do in physics.

Almost all of the things you learn in a CS degree, you wont use them anyways. Again, you just study it for the certificate and to train your problem solving. Practical knowledge you will have to teach yourself no matter what you studied. A physicist can become an equally good software developer to a CS graduate in a matter of a few months. And after that he will be better most of the time, because almost nothing trains your brain like physics. Math is good as well but usually not practical enough.

Physics is a good choice. Maybe not for being a millionare, but provided you go to a decent school it's employable. This is all in US/Canada though, maybe Europe is a different story

This was similar to my train of thought. CS at my school is very theoretical/academic anyway, so why not major in something I actually enjoy if I can get the same type of jobs as CS grads anyway? But CS also trains your mind, physics isn't much better than that. And not sure what you mean by the practical enough bc physics isn't practical in the slightest at the undergrad level.

Physics is very practical compared to pure math jfl. That is what I meant. The thing is that if you want to do research, then CS is not a great option, because it is essentially just a branch of mathematics, but you dont get to take the rigorous mathematics classes, so you wont be able to compete with the mathematicians. At the undergraduate level there is probably not much of a difference though

It's not though. Only "practical" physics courses are classical mechanics and E&M. That's why engineers only take those 2 courses despite the discipline being "based on physics". No employer really cares if you learned GR, special relativity, or any other modern physics. If you include statistics in math then it's just downright better for practicality, but overall there is no benefit taking one from the other in terms of employment.

Depends on the uni, it's probably better to take a pure CS degree than pure math for CS research. But a mix of both is prob best especially if you go to a school like Uwaterloo that focuses more on software engineering than pure CS

Research in CS is on a similar level to research in mechanical engineering, it cant be compared to natural sciences.

Physics is not practical in the sense that it teaches you how to build some mechanical device in a workshop obviously. But most physicists work with real world data and have to problem solve practical issues. Their skills are relevant in industry, this is what most physicists say themselves. Now it is definitely true that people who studied physics were already smart to begin with, so they would have probably done well in any field.
No employer cares if you took a course in algorithms either, they only care about (grades), work experience and how you present yourself. Btw there is a lot of statistics in almost all of physics, again I would argue that a statistician does less practical work than a physicist because the statistician just gets data gifted and doesnt have to think about how it was aquired.

And there's the issue. You are thinking experimental research physics represents the entire field of physics. Undergraduate physics is largely theory based, especially in the UK. And as someone literally studying math/physics I’d say I understand what’s going on with the the field a little better than what you might’ve read on Reddit.

No one is working with large data sets in undergrad. They are learning lagrangian and relativity and doing pencil/paper calculations, nine of which have any “relevant” applications. Obviously an observational astronomy phd will do better in the job market than a Math grad student researching algebraic geometry or some shit. But at the undergrad level, which was the topic of discussion, they are equal bachelors for non academic jobs.

People think this which may or not be true. But if your goal was problem solving and neuroplasticity, the most efficient course would be one with that in mind, rather than as a side effect.

The real reason is physics halo. A physicist is able to publish papers in any scientific field they wish and have it given a fair chance (good look sociologists)

Because even the most practical degrees you will be learning stuff you won't use. Like engineers have to learn how to solve ODEs when they will never see one in an industry job.

I used the same logic as you which is why I majored in bio/cs trying to get into med school and fallback on software if unsuccesful. But I was so miserable this past year and enjoyed my math/physics classes so much more that I switched. Really I can only imagine doing something like math or physics because I cba to memorize things, hate how information dense subjects tend to have "trickier" tests rather than whether you understand the information or not, and my uni's CS program is too competitive

I want to enjoy uni and make decent money at the same time so I don't mind losing out on some earnings, but if you are fine with studying what you said in OP then go for it since you will ofc be making more money

In Europe there are Trades for every type of specific job so that you don't learn useless stuff unrelated to your job

Still, with these jobs you have no Chance at obtaining Managerial/Executive Roles where the big money lies. University is required for that.

I'd say its a combination of high math or math adjacent skills (CS, Physics, even some advanced Economists or Finance majors) being NT or able to manage people very well. And most importantly being very hard working and status driven. On top of that you also had everything go right for you and were incredible lucky. All those people could have easily been forgotten.

Just in 2010 Elon was 4 million away from having nothing invested his last 4 million on a rocket after all the others failed had that not gone well he would be bankrupt. Luck is the most important thing but you also need to be the right type of person to take advantage of luck.

Very well could. My mother got into a medical university and degree with, at the time, the highest entry requirement in Scandinavia, but her pay has more than halved counting inflation since she graduated.

This could very well become you if you don't choose carefully. Personally If I there only focused on money I'd choose CS since it's a lot easier to adapt your skillset than other fields. Now I'm an empathetic cuck so I'll probably go into medicine too, despite the pay and hours, also biology is just 100x more fun than maths, physics or cs + the massive difference in exposure to women between these two degrees.

I don't know much about the tech space, but AI is all the fucking hype right now, and from speaking with the 2 cs engineers I know IRL it seems that it will continue to be so for a good amount of time if the current developmental velocity

It's very effective for what it is.

Combine it with finasteride (or related drugs) and minoxidil and you've got a potent combination. Then add micro-needling and tretinoin on top of that and you will multiply the effect of minoxidil multiple times.

Also in regards to this, there has been a few drugs that would cure MPB that didn't get released on the market, primarily because the patent had run out, so there's multiple cures around that never got to make billions.

Surgeons are in the top 5, other specialities are not. And it makes sense, cutting another person is reported to be a very upsetting act for ordinary people, even tho it's in a controlled environment and done for the bettering of the patient.

There are many many many better ways to get money and prestige than becoming a doctor, so any sociopath that chooses medicine for this is an idiot too.
