I can't think of a better career for people with no rich connections

Engineering is overrated BS.

CS and MD, the rest are copes.
Engineering has good salaries, business potential, and job satisfaction. If engineering (civil, chemical, etc) clicks with you it clicks so well and if it doesn't it won't, really.

CS and MD get paid more and are better options for people who aren't that passionate about their careers.

So what. If you want money and are high IQ you're WAY better off with MD and CS
 
Just go cs and double major in accounting. You start out making a lot with cs, and you can work your way up into the buisness side of things with your accounting degree later on. Take coke, ssris to stimulantmaxx so you will have better social skills so people will like you enough to give you higher up positions. IQ and hard work<Social skills.

I would go with medicine but its such a grind. You are broke until 32. I hate being broke at 19 I can't imagine being broke for another decade +. Getting into coding with a MIS or CS degree would take me another 2-3 years of time.

Although doctors do have a very sweet deal its just the time requirements is very unreasonable

finance can be; it’s like CS in that it’s something that needs specialized talent (either schmoozing to climb, or excellent evaluative ability for systems), and you don’t have to have a degree and can strike out on your own. if you are good and lucky (covid happening, etc)

see the goldman sachs interns who made killings off of inflation

though inflation, war, energy, are predictable with a biden administration, and if you are going the self investing route you will know if you have a shot if, upon reflection, you expected so. as well as how covid was going to unfold

investing involves people and psychology so you won’t need as much autism as say, something like pure math. In fact, true autism will hold you back

Accounting is good for starting a business but I would never be an accountant. I should self learn I am taking MIS (Mangement information systems) it has coding and business classes so maybe I will take more econ and accounting courses. Coding is where the money is at for the most part but accounting would be helpful once you have a business which I hope to have.

I used to be huge into investing but I think what matters is having a stable income first. I made 10X off a 500 dollar investment once so 5 grand it was great but that 5 grand was nothing in the long term. I've also lost plenty of money too. If I had made 10X off 100K that would pay my bills for 2 decades but all that time invested in something that can only make me small profits is pretty pointless.

If you aren't making at least 90K investing money shouldn't be your main priority.

Another issue with Finance is you need to be in the right circles. Not saying I'm too autistic for it but I'm not amazing at playing the game. College has been annoying enough jumping through hoops for years and years and getting in good with the right people sounds like a hassle.

Coding/Information industries may be more autistic but at least its straight forward if you do your job well you can make good money everything is about as straight forwards as it can get in that industry. Finance has more then enough people in it so they can afford to play games more nepotism and more up tight.

Consulting is such a vague word that could mean anything man.

I hate people who use titles like this to describe often times simple jobs

Do you think corporations are hiring non-ivies for consulting? Only other possibility is if you sold your own successful company.

Consulting literally is just a payed outsider to give advice or work on their topic of expertise. That could be anything from a 1 million a year salary or 30K a year.

Why do people use big words like senior management... consultant... ect these words mean nothing its contextual

I'm just saying if you went to a good school, a good consulting firm will pick you up regardless of what you majored in.

Top tier firms only hire undergrads from only prestigious schools. My cousin went to an ivy for bio and ended up bailing on med school, firm is paying him 150k with 4 years of experience. Someone from a typical state school wouldn't see that kind of money for decades in consulting.

so doesn't "CS" or "Med school", hundreds of different job opportunities there. A GP isn't making even close to a surgeon, and with the cost of med school, a typical web dev would prob make more money over time

Depends on the industry CS is different imo. Also a big part of why people in the Ivys make it is the connections. A nerd who never left his room in Harvard would not be much better off unless if they learned good skills (which you can learn at any Uni)

If your an autist at harvard and you aren't in a high demand skill your still not going to do amazing. But most people in those schools meet high level people.

I hope a top 40 state school is worthwhile. No way I'm spending another 2 years to transfer to a top 10 school or going to grad school. If your school is top 50 for your major your probably fine. But its not going to be handed to you either

You're right that consultant is a nebulous job title, just putting it out there that uni prestige can carry you hard even if you majored in psychology or something. My cousin's original plan was med school and I don't think he even did a single internship throughout uni. And he probably makes more than a CS grad at a typical state school now.

That's pretty good average harvard grad is 136K out of school 10-20 years which isn't insane. If you went to CS at a shitty state school you could make the same income.

Also gotta keep in mind how biased these numbers are 70% of Harvard attendees are of affluent background and a lot of people are geniuses. I think if you control for IQ and wealth of their parents/nepotism State schools aren't that much worse.

Cause =/ Causation. Harvard attracts the wealthiest people from the country to go there. If those people went to a State school they would still do better then most other people.

$150k is jackshit when you count in taxes. I can't believe people have the audacity to brag about anything < $300k.

An artist making 30K a year could have a consultant role

I guess it also depends where you live. My uncle told me he easily made 100K a year more in Cali vs in Montana doing a job.

So If you say 150K in Cali thats about the same as making 80-90K in an average state when you account for taxes and cost of living.

I meant a bio degree specifically
