too bad stem is the only field that actually contributes to society
too bad losing one STEM major isn't going to affect anything

because the market is currently being inflated by young faggots who think that a STEM major is going to be the key to affluence

silly cunts

but its true. liberal arts majors arent the ones raking in the cash.

Welcome to the fold, Polsci. THERE ARE DOZENS OF US!
I thought you decided on law IIRC from that one thread in serious. Unless you're doing your bachelor's in poli sci and then law school?
The Law Adviser on campus suggested I do Polsci instead, just in case I wanted to switch again later on. More options than a pre-law degree.
Yeah actually pre law students are some of the lowest scorers on the LSAT. I've heard the degree programs do a terrible job of preparing you for law school. I think you made the right decision.

God I hope so. I can't deal with any more student loans.

Honestly STEM is not what is necessary to get a good job. Just getting the degree of your choice and knowing where the markets are. Political Science has a lot of demand and if you know where to look you can get a job. Though it may require you to move to new places and start networking again. If in America DC will likely be the place you want to move to. Hit the keynote speeches and talks as well as meet people who are already in and find someone who can get you an in with one of the organizations.

youre right there is more to life, but not having to worry about money makes life that much better. why make $40k when you can make $140k?

Not really, you know in Alberta Canada the people raking in the 100k a year jobs are our trades. Plumbers, Electrictians, Crane Operators, Masons etc.

Any skilled trade can get you more cash with little to no debt the moment you get out of school. And more money than a STEM degree. Liberal Arts can get you good jobs.

In the end it is not the degree you get but who you know and how you network that gets you the 6 figure salaries.

Because there's nothing I want or need that would cost me anything a $40k wouldn't afford.

Not really, my networking got me a job without an interview. Many companies will just hire you if they need someone. Hell a friend of mine got a job without an interview just cause he went to a dinner his friend invited him to. Guy was impressed he came to attend and offered him a job right there. Though the idiot quit because it was not what he wanted and ended up with another job where he got layed of in a month due to the companies policy of hire and fire. Now he is working in Home Depot.

You know you can get that 7 figure job easily, if you are willing to live a life of hell without internet for 6 to 12 months in a year.

Surveying in the oil patch can get you that as well as Underwater Welding and many other life threatening jobs.

But studies say that the prime for annual salary is between $50,000 and $75,000. After that, life-satisfaction plateaus. A six-figure salary is unnecessary to enjoy your life fully.
