My ranking of college degrees from most useful to most useless. - General

[QUOTE=MaverickIB;22070701]I'm a Geography major with a minor in History, third tier Political Science and Social Studies Composite certification. You can take your engineering and computer crap and shove it, I'm not going to college so I can get a massive salary while sitting behind a desk doing jack shit all day. I'm going to college so I can fulfill my dream of being a football coach/teacher, which is probably one of the most useful jobs in the world. You wouldn't be anywhere without your teachers.[/QUOTE] With sincerity, good for you. I'm doing robotics simply because it sounded awesome to me, and that appears to be your motivation too. Give 'em hell.

Surely doing a degree in a creative subject doesn't automatically make you creative. I'm not against creative subject degrees, but the nature of the subject means that a degree in it is only useful for having that degree - you can't train someone to be artistic.

I'm studying for a music degree because it is what I love and I want to go on to have a job somewhere in the music world. I could have gone and done something to do with IT but I don't want to be just another computer drone in a shit boring job.

Sweet, I'm in the god tier

not everything is about money

[QUOTE=mapreader;22069400][B]Shit Tier[/B]: English, Literature,[/QUOTE] Yeah, because books aren't that important.

[QUOTE=radioactive;22071242]Why do Americans call University: College?[/QUOTE] It really depends on the school. Like, University of Texas. A&M University. Lonestar College > community college, useful for getting Associate degrees, then transferring to a Uni. [editline]10:46PM[/editline] Teachers are way underpaid. Teaching should be in the God Tier, because without them, your "Gods" wouldn't be very godlike now would they?

Did you just make this up and put science at the top and art at the bottom on purpose? Also I can kind of agree on Nursing being low-tier. Only because everybody and their brother is getting a nursing degree, and there aren't nearly enough jobs.

[QUOTE=Chopstick;22069801]I might also rank art in the shit tier but then you are basing it on money so you contradicted yourself cause most good paintings sell for millions.[/QUOTE] Only time most paintings are worth anything is when the artist is dead.

I had to teach myself programming because my school didn't offer anything computer related past using MS Word.

[QUOTE=OvB;22076001]It really depends on the school. Like, University of Texas. A&M University. Lonestar College > community college, useful for getting Associate degrees, then transferring to a Uni. [/QUOTE] Americans say college even when it's a university...like..."I can't wait for college!" and when you switch Facebook to English (US) it lists universities under a "college" heading. Never seemed to make sense to me as the US obviously has distinct "university" and "college" entities. On topic: willing to bet the OP can't write for shit

[QUOTE=radioactive;22071242]Why do Americans call University: College?[/QUOTE] Why do the British Call College: University? Location Location.

You know money isn't everything. You should do what you love. I rather make less and enjoy my job, then hate it and make a lot. How can you say music is shit? Don't you listen to it everyday?

[QUOTE=evilweazel;22076126]Why do the British Call College: University? Location Location.[/QUOTE] Yeah, just saying plain University sounds weird to me. College is easier to pronounce too. That's pretty typical of American words; they're pretty easy to slur.

there is a distinct difference between college and university a college is a school which offers your major a university is a group of colleges i.e. university of california berkeley offers courses from their school of engineering and their haas school of business.

I'm going to end up hating my job, but I'll retire early so it's all good.

OP is probably a well off kid in a nice neighborhood that is in a family that expects him to make a lot of money, and therefore tells him degrees in anything other than law/medicine/engineering/buisness are trash. Good majors aren't measured by how well it pays. There is a reason why music, art, and other creative jobs don't pay as well; the trade-off is doing something you love.

[QUOTE=Fish_poke;22069686]I am gonna major in History, mister. Being a teacher is awesome.[/QUOTE] Are you me

I'm going to be in the 'God Tier' and the 'Shit Tier'. Engineering/Arts double degree :v:

associate in compsci here. where am i on the tier (i see computer engineering)?

[QUOTE=TheGuru;22076467]I'm going to be in the 'God Tier' and the 'Shit Tier'. Engineering/Arts double degree :v:[/QUOTE] engineer a mechanical dick sculpture

Planning on majoring in Marine Biology and Oceanography. If things go my way I'd like to get a Ph.D in both.

[QUOTE=TheGuru;22076467]I'm going to be in the 'God Tier' and the 'Shit Tier'. Engineering/Arts double degree :v:[/QUOTE] That's actually not a bad idea, being good at art helps with engineering a lot (depends on which type though)

[QUOTE=Foda;22076474]associate in compsci here. where am i on the tier (i see computer engineering)?[/QUOTE] You're up there with it but Computer Engineering != Comp Sci.

Yay for medicine!

Psychology, Sociology and Anthropology are certainly not shit.

[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;22076111]*Gods* teach themselves. I had to teach myself programming because my school didn't offer anything computer related past using MS Word.[/QUOTE] A teacher taught you how to read and write. Without those, you'd be on the streets.
