" You shouldn't relate choosing a degree with your passion " best lines by shane.👌👌👌

[@Vivi_Strike]

Wait so if my passion is to become a operations manager I shouldn't get a degree for Business operations management?

[@mandeepkour9685]

@@Vivi_Strike no no if your passion is not vague and practical enough you should defo go for it. In my case i first thought of getting psych degree but as i know now that it's one of worthless degrees out there,too hyped, plus it's like taking risk so I rather put efforts into getting a safe degree which won't limit me or is very diverse. If your degree is already in demand and it's practical go for it.

@Isa Ba programme most probably, i wonder if you know bout this one hehe

[@mandeepkour9685]

@Isa No dear I'm not from the us, plus taking up psychology as a degree is risky if you don't know what you're gonna go for, nevertheless be confident, maybe try getting into hr after doing psychology, the field is mainly related to human psychology lol. Even I'm thinking of persuing hr in future.

[@lalalander8257]

I studied in the US in a school with PPE/PPL degrees, but I dropped it after a semester abroad in LSE. PPE is like dabbling in all areas but never quite know any of them in-depth. How can one claim to know philosophy without knowing systematic philosophy? How can one claim to know Econ without taking classes in econometrics? Double major and minor would be a much better way to learn.

Great video! I got an Econ degree and currently work in finance. I got some Econ specific job offers right out of school, but went with this finance job because I get free master’s level college credits as a perk of the job (studying economic development now). Highly recommend Econ degrees to anyone like me that didn’t have a very specific career path in mind, given that it’s a flexible degree and you learn a lot of skills and logic that are transferable to a variety of jobs.

[@ShaneHummus]

What other factors about it do you want to hear?

[@Christian.o.acevedo]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, but I would have to disagree when it comes to the Communications/Media/Journalism degree. As long as you have experience in the field, it doesn't hurt to have formal education as the industry itself it's becoming more and more mixed in terms of skillset. The degree teaches you the basics of each forms of communication which you can then apply to the market place. Moreover, if you are already in the industry, it's good to go back and freshen up on industry trends while picking up new skills and diverse thinking along the way. Not to mention the networking aspect of things. It all goes back to the main points that I've made previously; (1) Discover what you want to do at a very early age; at least 14-18 years old. Key point is to know what you will be doing, not where you will be doing it at. (2) Get into that field and start getting as much as experience in that field as possible and transition build on it through high school, college and beyond. (3) Don't go to grad school right after finishing undergrad for obvious reasons! A Master's Degree is worth more when you are already a Master in your field. (4) There's no set way to navigating through your career. It's ok to zigzag to get were you want to be. Lastly, Take what Shane says with a grain of salt. If you want to do something, do it. But don't think that just going to school is going to get you places, it takes years of patience and adapting to your environments/industries. Good Luck!

[@ShaneHummus]

I respect what you said Christian

[@totonoen6453]

Anthro/socio courses often include courses in research methods that involve learning r. Lots of people who did these degrees end up in UX research (which directly involved qualitative research methods taught in socio) and data science!

[@happyarmadillofarm9026]

Geography has the underlying skill of GIS which from what I understand includes database programming (python, R, etc). Many geography programs include GIS in the curriculum so it has a data science aspect to the field. I think the computer skills earned would bump it up a notch.

Very Good Then do those plus Geography, and you’d be more likely guaranteed. But being honest, if the only jobs available are military geographers, it’s a degree with limited job opportunities.

Remind you this is a list of the "best of the worst". That's basically saying Criminal Justice is the shiniest turd in the crap pile.

[@TimothyRichard12345]

Darkpaw1 Not really. That’s a generalized assumption. Being a liberal arts major doesn’t automatically make it a bad major. What makes it a bad major is “Can you find a job with it?” Political science and economics majors usually don’t have too many struggles finding a job

[@darkpaw1522]

@@TimothyRichard12345 You're also making general assumptions. Yes they find a job, but is it a good job? Does it pay well? The average starting salary for college graduates in a liberal arts degree is less than 30k, that's about $15 an hour. And that's being a bit generous. I was a Criminal Justice major in my senior year. Did research over the Summer and found my degree had a very poor ROI. I switched over last minute back to Software Engineering. If you want to stay in the liberal arts, feel free. Just know you're taking a bigger risk than neccessary; can't say nobody didn't warn you. Edit: I'm going to be nice. Did some research for you: Economics is good if you're coming from a Ivy League school. It's more about connections than anything. Not a bad major overall, but still way more risky than it needs to be. The average guy with this degree starts between 31k-37k. Most Ecomic majors pair their degree with an Engineering degree, which obviously raises the starting salary by A Lot. But alone, it's a hit or miss. Political Science majors tend to work for non profits. Most of them apply for jobs outside their field for lesser pay. Ivy League schools don't seem to help too much here surprisingly. From the jobs they mentioned it's between unemployment - 25k. The only exception is the obvious luck or connections, which usually end up working outside their field.

[@TimothyRichard12345]

Darkpaw1 I did my own research. Econ is actually listed as one of the majors that gets the most job offers. 62% of Economics majors already had a job offer lined up out of college and you are right about political science but I’m graduating college significantly earlier than most people and I was definitely not stop at my undergrad degree. I’m going up to my doctorate

[@noblelies]

Something you missed with the Philosophy degree is what we call the "dialectic". It is the sharing of discourse between two or more in argumentation or debate in order to establish the core basis of truth. This is an art that can't be taught in a book, which is why you don't see too many undergraduate Philosophy degrees taught online. Respectfully, your categorization on this one is a bit off. Additionally, the reason why philosophy graduates make so much in the long-run is not just because the subject attracts smart people, but also because those people tend to score much better on the GRE, MCAT, and LSAT, and are much more likely to go to graduate school, medical school and law school. Philosophers are the type you commonly see getting a score of 5 on the analytical writing section of the GRE. You hit the nail on the head of criminal justice majors. In fact, I can only see such a degree adding something to a person who is already in a the profession. If you want to go into law enforcement, ANY degree is good. However, to make yourself more diversified and insured in your career prospects, you might be better off majoring in something like Business Management or Accounting. Most law enforcement agencies also need good business managers to run their executive leadership positions. Police stations and prison complexes run similar to large nonprofit businesses. If you get such an industry-focused degree, you won't find yourself "trapped" in a career in law enforcement should you later down the road change your mind. But, if you major in Criminal Justice, what else is there you can do apart from working in law enforcement? The CJ degree is much better as a master's degree than as a bachelor's or associate's, unless you are already a seasoned and dedicated professional with years of experience the area and looking to enhance your long-term ability to promote. I broke all of the "rules". I got a philosophy degree, went and took a job in criminal justice that only required a high school diploma. Worked overtime and paid for a master's degree in psychology, and now I make over $135K a year as an executive in the mental health unit of a prison. And, I didn't "waste" money on my philosophy degree like some may be thinking. I took it and researched this tiny field called "philosophical counseling", where this thing we call "practical philosophy" is flourishing. We apply this systematic process to our therapy and treatment of prisoners and those struggling with drug addiction.

I’m studying English Language and Linguistics at the University of Amsterdam, and since I’m fluent in English, Dutch, and Spanish, my goal is to do a Masters in interpretation and translation.

[@nicolepenagarcia]

@Shashi tharoor According to the bureau of labor statistics, "Employment of interpreters and translators is projected to grow 20 percent from 2019 to 2029, much faster than the average for all occupations". So I would say yes! It also helps if you have some experience with translating already, so I'd recommend trying to find little translation jobs to do here and there during your studies :)

[@nicolepenagarcia]

@Shashi tharoor Translation jobs are where you work in translating written text from one language to another. Interpreting is when you translate what someone is saying, so spoken text. I think that by "working for a news channel" you mean people who interpret live on the news. But there are many other jobs other than working for a news channel. For example, there are court interpreters, community interpreters, conference interpreters, etc. It is the same for translation jobs: there is legal translation, medical translation, literary translation, and many others. I'd recommend you read up it, there are many resources available online!

[@nicolepenagarcia]

@Shashi tharoor After I finish, I will do a Master's in translation and hopefully find a job at a publishing house as a literary translator, so translating Spanish or English books into Dutch.

[@marksmith4892]

Shane, I don't know why I watch these videos as I graduated a long time ago and have a successful career lol but it's fun and compelling for some reason. I have a couple of possible insights. The first is that a friend of mine is a political science major and he tells me poly sci jobs are very low pay. However, he said that STATISTICIANS hired to conduct polling and analyze political data are in very high demand and are paid very well, so my thought is that for those committed to politics who also like analyzing data, a double major in poly sci and stats might be a viable option. That is mere speculation on my part. The second thing about that econ degree is that I think I know why it starts low and goes high. Econ in the business world is like high level theory but practical application in nothing. As any finance professor will tell you, finance is applied economics. Thus, econ majors are attractive because you need business intelligence to get that degree and they do understand at a high level how the business world works but then when an econ majors tries to get a specific job in something employers are like, uhh, well, we don't know how well or where you will fit. But after an econ major gets any kind of work exp., he is off to the races.

Graduates with a degree in math nowadays are very highly sought-after. There are so many positions out there for analysts and data mining people. You can pretty much write your own paycheck.

But I use the math from that degree to work in data analysis and it pays well.

Liberal arts majors with exception of Economics can be good if you supplement them with income-producing skills. This could mean supplementing a minor or certificate in business, math, or technology-related courses. This can directly be added to your resume so you can appear more marketable. Also, graduate schools like law, MBA, Med school, etc can be another option. In this case, a liberal arts degree can be used as a stepping stone. Also, internships, externships, fellowships, or any relevant work experience would be great. Additionally, DO NOT double down on 'useless' degrees. This will lead to more debt and prolonged underemployment or a long streak as a transient adjunct professor.

I wish you could make a tier list in IT major or CS major like: game design, and web development. I know both of these programs are very in demand, but I'm curious which majors stand the most or vice versa.

[@brandonmcquaig2554]

What about Classics? I was considering majoring in Philosophy, but now a double major with Econ or minor in Philosophy sounds better. I would try Physics or even statistics, but I already have taken four courses in Philosophy to count towards the major.

[@nihirpriram69]

History is actually a good major if you intend to go into law. Linguistics is also good if you pair it with CS and AI

[@ShaneHummus]

Thanks for your input

[@bllythekd7518]

I swear I watched this whole video and remember nothing but your voice is very friendly

[@Shakejuntpapi]

I’m graduating with my associates in liberal arts & sciences in December, and then continuing on in a bachelors in either communications or general studies, cause you’re right, I (still) have no idea what I wanna do 🤷🏻‍♀️ thanks as always for the helpful info! -Kaylee

[@ShaneHummus]

Good luck Ethan

[@l.a6273]

Just do general studies.you can. Join the military as officer and one day and fine your calling.

[@apdroidgeek1737]

Never heard of liberal arts and science before.

[@mrmartywaring]

A friend of mine has a degree in Urban & Regional planning & works for the transit system here in Philly. It's a great degree

[@ShaneHummus]

Thanks for sharing that Martin

[@rubypearson3837]

Hey Shane what about English literature !! I’m currently studying English and Philosophy, but I’m thinking about taking a year out and restarting to study either ecology or zoology. can’t decide whether it is a good idea or not. Many thanks!

[@NorthOfWindsor]

What about specific journalism, like reporting, broadcasting, or writing? It seems like there are a good amount of jobs available with good networking

[@jokerdog167]

You should do a tier list on communication degrees

[@ShaneHummus]

Which ones?

[@jokerdog167]

Public relations, marketing which is the degree I got. Journalism which is overrated. Etc... where would you put marketing on the tier list?

[@andrewsartin]

Philosophy is getting pretty good treatment, based on sticking with only bachelor’s degrees. However, as they outscore everyone on graduate entrance exams, I would give it an S for aspiring MDs, JDs, MBAs, etc.

[@stabarke]

*cries over my anthropology degree* I loved studying anthropology, but ended up moving to Japan after graduation and teaching English/managing a school. 🙈

@isabel z. it is at first but it’s not easy to advance in this profession, so hoping to change in the future

[@gtgodbear6320]

I made 42 Thousand in One year as a uncertified welder and Robotics operator. I had to learn each station and rewrote the work method and station setup to make it way more efficient/ productive. After practice MIG welding during lunch break for mounths when everyone's at lunch . I required minimal training welding. I got a $2,000 bonus on top of the $1,000 bonus and made a TS of my line for my contributions to the Power line. It improved to 30%. But a week later my new position drug test failed for a smidge of marijuana, losing my $22.h job. I have no idea how I got to this point in my comment but it probably has nothing to do with the video. Let me start watching again and see if I have to erase this rambling.

[@MadChristoph]

Urban planning I thought was good, something I had in mind since I look at maps and directions all the time

[@GeekPhilosopher]

I went the practical way and got my first degree in computer science. I made a decent living as a programmer for a few years, but I hated it so much that I went back to school and got a degree in English. I still work in IT out of necessity, but man do I wish I could do something else.

[@ShaneHummus]

Thanks for sharing Al

I wish you had mentioned the job prospects for all of them. I wanted to know the job prospects for linguistics 🤔🤔🤔. Although I am going for a business degree, I am an incredible writer as well and quite curious about job prospects in linguistics? 🤔🤔🤔

[@ShaneHummus]

I might cover that in the future. Stay tuned

[@shanjidasharmin8954]

Can you please make a detail video about Political Science major who is willing to do masters from Canada. All the pros & cons, also about salary or jobs please.

[@hoangchung7876]

I have a criminal justice degree from a state school. Although I am not working in the field, it help me get looked at my hr when applying for jobs. I graduated without debt and now working in accounting.

[@ShaneHummus]

Good luck!

Finished my Econ degree and pursuing an MBA in Financial Management right now. THE BEST decision I have ever made in my life was stop listening to everyone saying get a CS or engineering degree (because I was barely getting by in these courses) and switch to Econ. It greatly helps me with the bills and it is a very interesting subject that I study continuously through the Internet which in turn helped me get skills and knowledge necessary to get hired.

[@trackingthecoreofstuffandm2310]

you got an econ major degree. Okay. Can you sustain the demand if you increase the wages of everyone either by law or the market itself when inflation is rampant and does taxes affect your spending power after

[@RedditNarrated_]

@@trackingthecoreofstuffandm2310 whats econ

[@jaystrickland4151]

You need one on Professional Degrees. ie MD, JD, MBA, and such.

[@rbq19931]

As someone who has a bachelors in political science and a masters in economics, I would not recommend getting either one of these degrees. Finding a job is extremely difficult, near impossible (specially a gov job). If you are set on studying one of these, I would suggest on double majoring in stats or data science. That will most likely increase your chances of getting a job.

[@onmas909]

How about Economics bachelors and ISDS minor

[@mikeurias4014]

Most rich people have their children go for liberal arts. It just helps you all around becoming a more intelligent person and can articulate your words and understand the world and people to start a business or understand how to move up in a career

[@GeoPol01]

Ayy good thing I’m double majoring in Poli Sci and Econ

[@elenriquetheirontiger747]

I guess they key thing here to be successful is to try to be creative with your degree or try to network as much as possible. These are the problems with degrees that do not offer licensure examinations, no way to tell to employers you are certified.

[@ShaneHummus]

Hmm right

[@Sam-qd7nz]

Felt better when you said political science is in A tier! Still considering getting an MBA but at least my undergrad degree isn't "worthless".

[@ShaneHummus]

Thanks for watching

[@789uio6y]

The most useful degrees☺️ Go for you passion guys, cause there degrees pays you very well:)

[@ShaneHummus]

I'd say a good balance between passion and practicality is the way to go

[@machirim2805]

Tbh you sound like a liberal arts major trying to feel good about themselves

[@purplecaterpillar8658]

I want to be an elementary school teacher, so I can take any undergraduate program I'd like. Would taking philosophy make sense? My guidance counselor at school was very vague about this, and they teach us nothing about this in class. I think they market on our ignorance. Thank you for the advice in advance!

[@ShaneHummus]

That could work out as long as you know what you want to do

[@lonnisplace1459]

What if I major in Psychology, and go to grad school to be a forensic psychologist? Can you make a video about the best psychology careers (assuming they require a master's/doctorate degree)? I would like to make money, but I don't want to continue with my biology degree. This is my first year in college chemistry and I'm stuck on almost everything we're learning. I would love to be that smart person that just gets it, but I'm not a math person. I'm interested in science and how things work, especially life forms, but to be honest, I'm questioning if this is worth it. I'll have three more chemistry classes to take, along with biochemistry, not to mention three more math classes. A lot of people are so sure of what they want to do, and I'm interested in a lot of things, like psychology. So, even if it is overrated, are the jobs good enough to take care of my needs and give me enough time to write, without being stressful? Or should I try to toughen it out with this biology degree?

[@ShaneHummus]

Noted! I might make that in the future

[@EricdelaRicefarm]

Have you thought of doing a vid on minors, double majors, etc.

[@ShaneHummus]

I might do that in the future

[@DanielLopez-jv9mq]

What about Political Philosophy? I think you discussed Philosophy and Political Science, but nothing on this L.A. major. What do you think?

[@Queenvee31]

Hey Shane, does your videos also apply to the degrees in the UK? (Especially the videos on finding out how much your degree would earn)

[@ShaneHummus]

Depends.. but in general, these videos are for the U.S

[@count4fun]

I don't know if I'm too late to get a response but... I'm going for a Dual Major of PoliSci and Economics with a Communications minor. I love politics and want to work within government, would you recommend this as a good idea or would you suggest changing some stuff around? Could you suggest a more meaningful/helpful minor or would you say this pairs well?

[@ShaneHummus]

That could work out as long as you have a solid plan

[@Shriefnabil]

What do you think of the data science field? Do you think a master’s degree in data science will worth it? Thanks
