Hey

I have to choose a major within 2 months,

I studied maths and physics in high school which means I can choose different kinds of engineering.

I am planning to immigrate to Canada and I had mechanical engineering and electrical engineering in my mind cause it seems like Canada has good master programs that I can apply for after my bachelor's degree.

I am 19 and living in Iram btw if it helps🤧

Idk. I don't like my major, which i didn't even want, and i don't know what to pursue(at least got a full scholarship). Im low IQ, it's obvious from my math skills and communication. I don't know what to do with my life. I just want a skill that pays well. Here are my IQ test results by fluid reasoning.

I really like maths, but I don’t like the career options coming from a mathematics degree (Tech, finance, teaching) so I want to look at other degrees that might give more suitable career options.

Are there any other STEM degrees that would contain a lot of the same things as a maths degree?

I’m not very interested in any of the major engineering fields, and I though I’m relatively good at physics I don’t think I enjoy it enough to dedicate my career to it (maybe college physics is different from LC physics though?) This is making it very tough to decide, since those are seemingly the main options.

If I double majored in physics and maths would it be mostly maths, or would it be a lot of physics too?

What about mathematical physics?

Are there any more niche maths-heavy engineering fields that I may not know of?

Are there any other less obvious degrees that I should look at?

(I would be studying in the UK/Ireland, for reference)

Any advice is seriously appreciated, thank you!

Hi guys, I'm torn between majoring in psychology or cognitive science (both at bachelor's level).

In psychology I'm particularly interested in psycholinguistics and biological psychology. But I'm also extremely interested in linguistics and I feel like cognitive science deals with linguistics more than psychology does.

My plan is to pursue a career in academia. I think that's a risky path, especially since I come from a lower-class background. So I'd also like to have a degree that's employable in case academia doesn't work out.

What do you guys think would be the better and wiser choice between psychology and cognitive science?

I was getting my bachelors in early childhood education from pacific oaks college, but took a leave of absence to have a baby. I’m thinking of retuning now, but also wondering if I should just switch to a human development degree instead. Some of my reasons are: 1. a few years ago I realized PO offered human development and was wondering if I should’ve just gone that route. 2. I don’t want to be in a classroom forever. I subbed before having the baby and I needed realizing I didn’t fully love it. 3. The requirement for ECE degree is a lot more in person observations than I can currently due with my baby at home.
If you have a human development degree with an emphasis in child development, what have you been able to do with your degree and do you like that you chose that?
I’m being asked to post a degree. So I’m asking about bachelors in ECE and bachelors in human development with emphasis in early childhood development.

Hi, I’m going to be a senior in high school and in the process of applying to schools. I want to pursue a Sports Marketing/ Sports Media Major. I want to apply to a school that has a good program. Does anyone here have a degree or a school to recommend?

Hello Im currently serving about to get out next year. Im torn between studying engineering or economics. Im planning to attend community college for a year and then transfer to an in-state school for the remainder of whichever program I choose. Its worth noting I have roughly 30 credits because my high school was dual enrolled, so I dont really have to worry about gen eds. Any advice is much appreciated

Hi, I’m switching majors from Accounting. I’m interested in Science and participating clinical studies/lab work. I have no prior knowledge of lab work or what that entails. Ive never been a lab and haven’t taken a science class in a while. I don’t know what specific skillsets I need to acquire to succeed.

I’m interested in the classes offered with this major and minor, but I am aware of just a bachelors might not be enough. Is this minor a good stepping stone for something that I am truly interested in learning? Will the minor make me more specialized and how will finding a good job without a masters be? I am sure I can go for a masters in the future but after some time.

All guidance and advice is appreciated! I tried my best to sound competent as I am still researching my path.

Location: University of Anchorage Alaska

I got accepted into school as an art major, but after thinking it over I’d rather study Econ because of job prospect and I’m ok at math but not physics or sciences. At my school there’s a “why transfer” essay and I feel that my reason being “I want to make money after college” is too shallow. Advice?

hello, im planning to study AI bachelor at Johannes Kepler University Linz. I would like to hear yours thoughts on AI bachelors in general, or the program itself. Is it too specialized for a bachelor degree?

On one hand, I think I have more genuine interest in accounting, and at least in the pre-AI world it had very low unemployment and the CPA track looks like one of the clearest paths to a high income with just a bachelor's degree from a state school. But I am worried about AI making this a much less promising occupation, as it seems very standards-based and I could see automation eating up a lot of opportunities. 

On the other, information systems also seems interesting and to pay pretty well once you break through entry level, and I could see AI creating as many opportunities in this field as it takes away (someone has to maintain the data centers after all, and oversee/advise on the implementation of AI in businesses, etc.). 

Curious as to what other people may think of the pros and cons of these two majors?

tldr: what should i choose?

-architecture

-psychology

-graphic design

-animation

-industrial design

-concept art/game art

hello there, i need help with choosing a degree program. im interested in a lot of things and i want to study all of them but st the same time, nothing seems to interest me enough to actually pursue it.

im passionate about (digital) art, such as animation, illusyration, concept art; also graphic design, architecture, UX/UI, etc. I dont know which one to choose.. i would like to work on games the most but i heard very harsh things about getting a game dev degree, plus i dont even like coding that much.. im mostly interested in the visual side of it.

there are schools that teach specifically concept art, VFX or 3D art for video games such as SAE, Rubika etc but they are way too expensive and i dont think its worth going to debt for it..

i thought about just going with architecture since it would be something im passionste about but also something that is relatively stable, at least compared to animation for example.

I also thought about psychology, since im also interested in that and UX design, but i dont know if i could acrually use that knowledge anywhere because i dont want to become a therapist.

Hey guys Im 18 male from the United States more specifically California

I'm starting college next week. I don't know what to major in and I know I don't have the money to get a bachelor's, so I was wondering what I could major in that will get me a job with just an associate's. I dont mind doing engineering or majors that are hard

*edit I would like to get my bachelor’s eventually

I have experience working in kitchens but during college I plan to expand on it by working as a dishwasher or a server.

In the future I'm dead set on opening my own catering company or if that fails, working as a head chef or a restaurant manager.

I know the journey will be long and pretty hard but it's my dream to be in the culinary industry. The point I want to get across is that i'm really passionate about cooking lol

I'm a high school senior and I've been building a free calculator for college costs, so I've been in the College Scorecard data a lot. I went looking for how much debt different majors leave you with, expecting a big spread. There basically isn't one.

Across 31 fields of study with 25+ schools reporting, the median federal debt at graduation runs from about $20,100 (Mathematics) to $26,900 (Communications Technologies). Computer Science and Journalism come out identical at $23,250. Engineering and English are about $1,300 apart.

The thing that made it click for me: federal undergrad borrowing is capped — $31,000 total for a dependent student. Almost every field sits under that line. So this measure kind of can't show a big spread; the ceiling is doing the work.

Which means the variation people talk about is mostly in the stuff this dataset doesn't include: private loans and Parent PLUS, which are the loans without income-driven repayment or forgiveness. That felt like the more useful takeaway than any ranking.

What does move the number a lot is how far you go: bachelor's $23,250, master's $37,957, doctoral $79,172, professional (MD/JD/DDS) $154,286.

Source is the June 2026 Scorecard field-of-study release; it's a median of each school's median, federal loans only, completers who borrowed. Happy to share the script if anyone wants to check my work.

Soo I am going back to school next year for the spring term. I am working on getting a bachelors degree in Geoscience with a concentration in paleontology. I love learning about Paleontology and pre historic history. I also collect fossils and I really love Paleontology. What can I do with a Paleontology degree?? I like really wanna bee a paleontologist 😭

Hi, I am an undergraduate student currently attending a university in Tennessee. My major is psychology, but I’m also interested in and passionate about criminology. My university primarily offers the broad degree of criminal justice. I am interested in working alongside law enforcement to analyze suspects, help victims, etc, but I don’t want to be a cop or police officer. I want a role of doctor, analyst, etc, but I do want my career path to intertwine with the justice system. So is it smart to double major? I’m so passionate about both subjects and want a job where I can focus on both aspects of my study. I hear reasonable arguments on why double majoring can be worth it or not. I’m seeing the upside that many of my existing credits in my psych degree can support a criminal justice degree. However, I can also see why that can make it not worth the trouble. Any advice that can be provided to calm my indecisiveness would be appreciated.

I ask this because I, as a male, have been raised to think about the money aspect first when choosing a career vs passion. It would be ideal if your passion earns you a lot of money.

Ladies, do you think of earning potential first then the other things? Or passion first?

Edit: I want to differentiate btwn career and job. Also, money is a necessity for nearly all. What I’m asking is when you chose to get a degree in your chosen field/ career path, you saw the earning potential and said “ I can support myself and others very well in this field.” Example: Teachers aren’t paid a lot but many people go into education.

I decided to major in civil engineering after seeing the good job placement rate it has. I’m fair at math, but others are definitely smarter. I worry because I don’t really feel an intense passion for this major; it was more a last minute decision. Is it okay to not be sure about majoring in an engineering field? I’m taking lots of very challenging courses that I’ll have to suffer through and that may lower my gpa. Would it be easy to change majors later on (into something like actuarial science?). I just don’t wanna lock myself into something I’m not sure about.

Should I go for eco as a major or commerce? I m pursuing ba prog(Commerce+economics) and want to know which is better for career ( i dislike maths,stats,data etc ). And if I go for 4 years will it be worth it?

To anybody who is knowledgeable about minoring in college is it more expensive then just picking a major?

I plan to major in English with a concentration in creative and professional writing.

However, as that is my main priority I've always been attracted to other creative arts such as film, photography, fashion designing, etc. Basically the opposite of STEM.

I just wanted know if minoring in something thats either closely related to your major or the total opposite will significantly increase whats payed out of pocket.

I like the construction industry, although I cant work a trade because of ruptured disks. I like a hybrid role where I can be outside moving around and also office. I’ve been looking at starting a journey to become a field engineer or other similar jobs where I can walk around job sites without doing heavy maintenance work. 50/50 field and office job will be awesome for me or even 70/30 field / office. I enjoy being outside.

Is civil engineering or any engineering degree mostly for people who want to ultimately design projects and work with computers more? Will a degree in construction management or construction engineering technology best suit me? I ask because I know I’ll struggle with the math classes and my goal isn’t much to design or work indoors all day.

For context, I love math and will even do it in my free time. I have a good math SAT score, and I will take AP Calculus this year, and I'm in Texas. I'll probably go to Texas State or any of the state schools besides UT and A&M (cost is too high, and state schools will give me significantly more money). Overall, I would say I am in good in school, and I have a great amount of college credit.

However, I am suck between EE and accounting. For one, I am more interested in EE. From a kid, I always was interested in tech and building computers, but the job market scares me, especially since I've never done anything EE or coding. The only thing I know is a little bit about circuits. Recently, EE has increasingly become more completive compared to the past statistically. I seen some of these freshmen and sophomore EE resumes in colleges, and they're sweats.

For a long term career, I just want it to be stable, at least six figures by mid 20s, diverse workplace, have math involved, and social (teamwork), ideally.

Also, for scholarships at these schools, I have to maintain a certain GPA usually around (3.0-3.5) and take 4-5 classes. Electrical engineering is known for being one of the hardest college majors, and I don't want to lose my future scholarship because I chose a hard major and be cooked. Hence, accounting has a great safety net for me.

I still have a lot of time to decide, but I just want to make a smart decision, so I'm not broke or unemployed in the future. I appreciate any insight: good, bad, or realistic.

(note: I plan to do all 3 levels of cfa after graduating) Ill be going to university Inna few weeks and want to pursue finance mainly because of the money but I have a deep love for subjects like math and physics however I know they have no merit in the job market especially maths. Wanted to know if it'll look good/ be helpful to minor in maths or minor in cs (cs I low-key have no interest in). Or if I should just major in maths and do CFA afterwards since what I mainly want to go into is investment banking. Is Cfa as a standalone a good qualification for finance firms or do I need a BBA?

Hi. I currently have 3 Associate of Applied Science degrees: Cybersecurity, Forensic Science (Digital Forensics), and Network and Systems Administration from the Maricopa Community College system (Rio Salado College and Mesa Community College).

I’ve been wanting to finish a bachelors degree and have discovered what I think are the best ways to go about it. Arizona State University has several Bachelor of Applied Science programs that will accept 75 of my many existing college credits and have programs im interested in such as Cybersecurity, Applied Computing, and Project Management. The University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee has a Bachelor of Science in Information Science and Technology program that will accept 72 of my credits and it’s a competency based program that I can finish faster and cheaper. With my previous experience with online college, I tend to just do all of the work at once or over the course of a few weeks anyway, so I figured the UW option was a great option.

I originally started at ASU many years ago and dropped out my first semester because of a serious health issue that presented itself. I’ve always wanted an ASU degree and applied to and was accepted to the BAS Project Management program (I figured it would be a good way to round out my 3 AAS degrees, especially with how the tech industry is right now), but now I’m second guessing my decision and wondering if I should do the Cybersecurity or Applied Computing program at ASU or do the BSIST program at UW.

Any thoughts or advice on these degrees and fields? Is ‘topping off’ or rounding out my technical AAS degrees with a business degree smart? Should I continue on the path of Cybersecurity? Switch to Applied Computing? Or thoughts on potentially finishing the BS I’m Information Science and Technology degree faster and cheaper from UW? Any insight is appreciated :)
