HAPPY NEW YEAR! May the next decade bring you unlimited prosperity and happiness. Anyways, another day and another tier list, I love making these and I hope you enjoy watching them :) This one is going to be on the most popular college majors and degrees and I'm going to be ranking them on whether they're a good investment or not.
----------
If you're familiar with my other videos (College degrees that are actually worth it) and (The most useless degrees) then you will know my stance on getting an expensive college degree that will lead you to being $40,000 in debt without being able to find a job.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't follow your passion, all I'm saying is that if your passion is a useless degree, then you're probably better off just studying it on your own (For instance, Ivy League colleges offer all of these classes for FREE online) than to go into $40k worth of debt that you can't default on, and it will follow you for the rest of your life. And if you want to make that passion into a profession, I recommend going an alternative route like starting a business or a youtube channel or something along those lines.
Anyways, I wish you the best and enjoy the video. Make sure to drop a like as it helps with the evil youtube algorithm and comment if you have any input on the topic of the video, how I can improve my content, or any other videos you'd like me to make. Thanks and I'll see you in the next one!

[@jewnyhawk7669]

@@AK-tz6mi yeah, It's another field where if you really push for it, you can make a good amount of money. One of my teachers in high school was making a low six figures. He was head of several different departments, ran extracurricular activities after school-like speech and debate, and history club-and every year he would organizing lead a school trip for about 15 kids to go somewhere around the world. When I was in his class we were supposed to go to Egypt, but this is during the uprising, and there was a bombing at one of the hotels we were supposed to stay at. After that, he decided to switch the trip over to a UK trip and we went to Scotland, Ireland, London, and Wales. Every year he was able to write these trips off on his taxes. He truly loved what he did, and he made it work for him very well.

Feel like the rankings aren’t taking into account how over saturated some career fields are. Eg there are maybe 100-200 language students in a year but several thousand in degrees that fall under business, management etc. Realistically picking a degree that has too many people going for the same jobs is where the problem is. Most degrees are about transferable qualities and what they say about work quality/ethic. Also v different US compared to UK.

[@yt_nh9347]

@@ShaneHummus physics is about the same as electrical engineering in terms of difficulty (which imo is the hardest engineering major) although i will argue they have a lower work load per semester than engineering students. The physics theory learnt is not necessary for 95% of technical jobs outside of academia research which is why you often see engineers get paid a lot more because their skills are industry relevant as opposed to merely learning the works of previous physicists. There is also a large barrier to entry for research/academia based roles so most physicists don't end up using what they learnt anyways

Gabriel Torres No actually I've seen an AMA from a former CIA agent and they actually recommended anthropology as a prep degree. I mean what are you typically doing as an anthropologist?

Connections matter a lot too. Drama is an F tier degree here but one of the most respected majors in my school, a top drama school that puts connections in as part of the program.

I’m 11 and want to become a chemist/chemical engineer. I’m thinking really far ahead and will probably change my mind, but right now chemistry really fascinates me! It helps that I skipped 3 years in science at my school and am currently taking chemistry. Plus, some family members got a job in chem and are currently loving it. Great video, very informative.

Bruh i'm about to turn 17 and i have no idea what i want to be. It's pretty good that you have an idea on what you want to do but i think rn you should enjoy just going to school without having any pressure on what to be so early on:)

[@nirau3048]

Where would policy or political science rank in ur opinion? Considering going into it

[@fa1509]

Only if you want to be a lawyer then it’s good

[@ShaneHummus]

Pretty low tbh, I'd say C tier. If you have a solid plan going into it then Poli Sci can be good though

[@moderrnngaming939]

Shane Hummus - The Success GPS I’m planning on being a lawyer so I am doing PoliSci. Not sure if it’s smart or not though.

[@ShaneHummus]

@@moderrnngaming939 I've made videos about this, but the best thing to do is to contact lawyers and ask them what they recommend majoring in/contact decision makers at top law schools and ask them what they recommend majoring in. Begin with the end in mind

[@EinMarchen]

@@moderrnngaming939 political science graduate here, the first thing professors in polsci would tell you is that "political science is completely different than law" lol

Physics is a definite A/S tier with many opportunities from programming to engineering to data analysis and teaching even

[@mariaubilla1415]

I was majoring in nursing but i absolutely hated it, im now majoring in psychology which i really love and understand and im definitely planning on going to grad school

[@ShaneHummus]

Best of luck to you Lola Maria

[@zachbeblar2238]

That's exactly what happened to me too! I started nursing clinicals this fall semester as a sophomore and strongly disliked it, I was doing pretty well but I knew it just wasn't for me. Thankfully I was taking a developmental psych class the same semester and I loved it so now I'm in the process of getting approved for a BA in Psychology! Literally the biggest tip to anyone is DO NOT GO INTO HEALTHCARE FOR THE MONEY OR IF U AREN'T REALLY INTERESTED IN IT! I thought I was interested in it but clinicals just proved me wrong highkey! Good luck to u in school :)

[@bigp8871]

Zach Beblar what’s wrong with clinical? I’m also thinking about majoring in nursing

[@zachbeblar2238]

big p it was just a personal thing for me. It just wasn't what I thought it would be like I wasn't expecting it to be so mechanically involved. What I mean by that is I felt like I was a "'human' mechanic", if that makes sense. Everything is just very strategically made in a step by step process (which isn't honestly a bad thing) it just didn't feel like a good fit for me! You'd think changing the sheets while ur patient is laying down might be an easy process but for me it was just a cluster idk y. I withdrew from the course when I had a B so it wasn't like I was failing out or didn't know anything, I just knew it didn't fit well with what I had hoped for. Lmk if u have any other questions I can help with :)

[@bigp8871]

Zach Beblar do u personally think nursing in general is super difficult to major in? Some told me it’s the hardest major in college

[@kulkavin]

Basically the exact thing Indian parents try to understand me. doctor or engineer xD

[@Ali-zj4hf]

Welp too late. Lol I’m studying Early Childhood Education now in college. I’m not in it for the money though because I know that starting out it is not going to be much. I’m in it because I love being around children and seeing their faces light up when they learn something new that they enjoy.

[@ShaneHummus]

Sounds like you found your purpose. Good luck in your chosen path. Nice to see someone who is fond of kids. Have you thought of teaching college as well?

[@klassycountryk]

Honestly, if you get some good investors and staff, you could open up a prestigious day care and teach and make more than a teacher

[@DieHobbylosenPros]

Why am I watching this? I'm about to graduate with my master's in computer science, there is no turning back now lol. Honestly, I disagree with ranking math in B tier. It's a crazy versatile major which can build the foundation to transition into any STEM field like engineering/comp sci/physics etc. or even econ because let's face it econ isn't hard. Personally, I would put Math into S or A tier and would put econ lower.

[@ShaneHummus]

A lot of people agree, might make a new video next year with more in depth reasoning, Math will probably jump up.

[@russ1794]

I feel sorry for my father! He paid 100K+ for my brother to major in photography. I on the other hand want to major in accounting. I hope I made the right decision.

Hey Russ.. You made a good decision. Deym but for your brother, maybe you can help him pay debts.. Gee!

[@tavionupshaw]

I really like your video, i’m still undecided on what to do and this is kinda giving me an idea on what to do. and for future ideas, could you do a video on what to do if you’re thinking of helping people kinda majors or in people personalities what majors they should go into

Hey Tavion Upshaw! Glad to have you here, Thanks for the support and thanks for the suggestion.

Greedo Yeah, I went to a private high school and they paid the teachers absolute pennies compared to public since the schools aren’t held to governmental pay standards. Unless the teacher was part of a union, they were living paycheck to paycheck

[@joelklenke8522]

Again, such a great video! I’m trying to figure out what to major in, and your videos have definitely been some of the most helpful. What tier would geography be in?

[@ShaneHummus]

Geography is one of those degrees where some of the careers pay pretty well, but there just aren't many jobs. I'd say it's low B tier or high C tier. It's viable if you have a solid plan going into it on exactly what career you want to get into and how you're going to get there.

[@abrahamarciga3334]

There just needs to be a re structure In the education system. Some degrees shouldn't be an option to study, because were taught that to make it we must have one. I'm in my thirties wish there was something like this before I graduated.
