Poast new message in this thread
Date: September 3rd, 2010 4:48 AM Author: ultramarine painfully honest laser beams deer antler Say you want to do/try EVERYTHING. You have a mindset on slowly and gradually specializing your skills as you go through school. So what major offers you the ability to say "fuck it, I'm applying to all of these jobs and I know they would be at least 70% happy to have me"
What major would you choose? |

Date: September 3rd, 2010 11:05 PM Author: wonderful sticky native travel guidebook Maybe the mechanical engineer would have the working model first. But a good economist (not a keynesian socialist) is probably a good businessman. And any decent businessman is focused on the bottom line. You'd probably have a car you could SELL roll off the assembly line quicker. This is a problem with most engineers - they don't think like businessmen.

a physics background obv. a solid math background a pretty good programming background (depending on the school) depending on the programs at your school and whether you take advantage of them or not, good technical/instrumentation skills. good critical thinking skills (if you think your critical thinking ability will not improve by taking upper division physics you'll be surprised). ability to teach, go to grad. school (basically for free as long as you have above a 3.0), work in industry (even with a bachelors), work in engineering, solid background for medical school.
idk, math might be more versatile but physics is pretty credited for versatility as well, and you have to learn most of the useful math that math majors do as a physics major anyway.

In fact, lawyers with an economics degree earn almost $5,000 more than those with an accounting degree, the second highest degree earners."
Physics/Law grads make less the Accounting grads. |
|
Date: December 4th, 2010 2:05 PM Author: Deep Violet Tank Athletic Conference Looked at the study. Interesting but flawed. The regression model shows economics is significant, but not with respect to "for profit employment." More importantly, they don't control for UG class rank, LSAT, LS rank, LS class rank, etc. They suggest LSAT is at least controlled for in part by including the bucket "science & engineering," which has no statistically significant relationship with salary, but this is probably a questionable assumption because this encompasses a number of majors with relatively low average LSAT scores (e.g., bio, chem, comp sci). Also, it's pretty weird to combine something like bio with math. They're barely related.
I wouldn't make any decisions about UG major based on this relatively weak study. |
