werent u gonna go do some work for 6 hours

yeah

but i thought about it

i just finished mocks

i cba

ill start in 9 mins

 

[flames510892]

yeah

but i thought about it

i cba

ill start in 9 mins

so ur gonna start at xx:15 but then it gets to 16 then u gotta start in 14 mins

Are you UK based ? If so economics if you want to live in London . Finance is the highest paying sector in the UK , its ultra competitive but the degree isn't as effortful as a masters in engineering , maths and physics. I have many friends who studies for only 3 fucking years + summer internship experiences who are now on 50k plus out of uni. Meanwhile I slaved away at a masters in engineering for 4 plus years plus 1 year experience to end up on less money.

economics is really maths heavy and a really boring degree

its why im applying for land ec @ cambridge

its more theoretical

and anyways uni>course for anything like finance tbh

Yo bro I just applied to mech/aero eng at unis like imperial Bristol and UCL and I've heard the engineering scene in the UK is dead is there a way for me to pivot into finance?

Yes absolutely engineering graduates are very in demand, but you need relevant financial experience . Apply for finance spring weeks , if you perform well they will give you a summer internship offer. If you perform well in your internship they will have an offer waiting for you after your degree. However , AI is cutting the graduate roles in finance a lot , its easy to automate a lot of those roles and you will be competing with Econ students from LSE and Oxbridge. Worst case : yes engineering in the UK is not as valued as much as in some other countries but it is not "dead". There will always be high demand for engineering jobs , its AI proof , you can expect to start on 30 k as a grad , moving up to 50 k after 3 - 5 years , which if you look up the UK tax system is a comfortable wage band people tend to stay in for time.

I like maths. Im scarred that if I take maths, imma get replaced by ai soon

Engineering or accounting. Most people aren’t good at math, so guaranteed employment. The job market will always fluctuate, bug these skills along with their certs will always be a big deal.

The absolute best all around degree is Electrical Engineering. It is the most in demand degree currently as the world is becoming more and more electrified. Also due to its difficulty it is unlikely to get over saturated like Computer Science.

However the degree with the highest salary ceiling has to be finance/econ. But only if you find yourself in the top echelons of the industry. Hedge funds, private equity, venture capital. Millions of dollars a year. However the lower end compensation packages are lesser than the lower end packages in engineering.

Law, most STEM courses and finance / economics degrees are the most versatile

What are you good at, and what grade are you in?

If your goal is to earn as much as possible, you can’t let “effort” be a deciding factor in what you study. I’d recommend studying the hardest thing you genuinely think you can handle.

STEM degrees are pretty much the only non brain-dead thing to study, and the more math-heavy (engineering, maths, physics) the better. So I’d avoid biology (fake STEM) and probably pure chemistry too.

I graduated recently from a no-name university (top 200) and I’m starting on a bit under $200k/year in a finance company, but I grinded my ass off for it. It’s not a guarantee and, honestly, you’re very unlikely to pull this off without doing the same.

I did Civil/Structural engineering in undergrad, then a Master’s in Finance, plus internships (just as important as your degree) in engineering, economics (public sector), and finance firms.

TL;DR: Pick a hard as fuck degree, even if you don’t plan to work in that field.
