Do not do engineering. It is full of nerds and pajeets who work way too hard. It is the definition of wage slavery. Get out now before it is too late like it is for me.
Do you mean creating medicine or being a doctor? Because if you mean doctor/nurse you can remove it
Andrew Richardson
I just meant medicine in general. I guess being a doctor is fucked, but how is nursing?
Also things like CRNA (Nurse Anesthetist/Anesthesiologist, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practictioners, seem pretty good if not at least decent.
I'm an Accounting major, but in the future it seems like it might get completely automated. I've considered doing CS or a Trade later on if that happens, maybe medicine. Everything seems fucked though.
Parker Clark
doctor is great just get a bullshit specialty like anesthesiology
Charles Baker
Nurses are overworked to be sure. But there is a very slim chance they will be automated anytime soon.
Jace Wright
The other issue is that the pajeets and current batch of dweebs lack any real creativity and drive they are nothing but glorified paper pushers
Its extremely depressing

Can confirm, all the millennial engineers we have been hiring are some how smart and brain dead at the same time. No creativity or personality. I’m now in middle management, and have to redo half their work personally.
I need to do something else with my life.
Cameron Carter
I’m not worried about AI/Automation. If you use them right they are intellectual prosthesis that help you be more productive.
AI is mostly a buzzword and its application is too specific to be useful without a human marshaling it.

Charles Martinez
I'd like to see them Skynet a psychiatric ward. t. nurse, psych
Charles Foster
STEM is just a proxy for IQ. Whatever field major you take just be aware that if you're not going to the masters or PhD level you'll probably just be a code monkey (albeit a well compensated one).
T. Someone who bought the chemical engineering meme and now codes DAX queries for SQL databases all day erryday.
Jordan James
Yeah I mostly feel that way. I don't think government regulated financial activities will ever be completely left to machines only, that seems sketchy.
Jackson Martin
yeah i've noticed this but engineering/CS doesn't seem to require a masters unless you're trying to do like machine learning/AI research
You don't REQUIRE a higher level degree to get a job but you'll need one to go into your desired field.
I'm a Chem eng doing coding at a civil eng company. My boss is a literature major who taught himself dax coding and somehow is just a machine. The engineering department manager is some Asian dude with no eng experience and a PhD in AI computing.
The job market is fucked. Just be willing to learn and be as versatile as possible and you'll be fine but don't expect your career to be linear at all.
Adam Watson
My bad. Properly engaging with psych patients (actual patients, not malingering fucks) requires a wide repertoire of skills involving interpretation of body language, voice, understanding your own presentation at all times, and manipulating the patient into not only accepting your way of things, but allowing them to believe it was either their idea or you can be trusted not to harm them. When things get physical, the staff is at the disadvantage despite numbers because 3/4 of the staff are wrestling down someone while giving injections while the remaining quarter is attempting to keep the unit from popping off into riot mode. This goes triple for adolescent and child psych, who have a tribal mindset of Patient vs Staff. Honestly you can apply this to almost all aspects of nursing care; the SKILLS could probably be automated, possibly even med dispensary, but you absolutely require a nurse to put Mk 1 eyeballs on the pills and procedures in case the computer comes up with something it isn't programmed to handle because Pajeet 75682 fucked up his hierarchy of care somewhere.
Caleb Rodriguez
Everything will be automated in 2 years
Adam Gray
It's dependent on the field, hospital, location. Not really sure how to answer. I like it when it's busy but chill and I can hit my groove. I hate it when I have to work with basic white bitches (seriously, 1st Gen asians and black women are infinitely harder and smarter workers, I don't know how). Pros are pay, bennies, decent job security, major travel opportunities, marketable come DOTR Cons are working for Satan.
Do Construction Management, and you're guaranteed to get a job. Work life balance tends to suck tho
Xavier Roberts
I should add >female dominated field >western white wine aunts fail upwards the most >they all know each other and their HR counterparts, and attend each other's social functions I do not play politics well, so I struggle with management. If you can sort out the lessons from Carnegie's Make Friends and Influence People, you will coooooast. If not, you will struggle. But I mean it when I say you can make a solid living wage ANYWHERE with the right skillset, which they'll train you into.
This feels like everything everywhere these days, even as an Ubercuck.
Aiden Robinson
Been thinking about a geology major, focused either on environmental/construction or mining. Any goys know how boomerized geology is?
Nolan Kelly
geology's pretty solid. i took a geology class in my second year as my science req and i hated it because of the professor mostly, but it was kinda hard memorizing differences between similar rocks. the class average for like 4/6 exams was a 60 something.
but to answer your question, i heard there's a lot of opportunities in it that pay well. from what i know a lot of the high paying jobs are in fossil fuels/gas/energy companies etc.
Brandon Nguyen
That just makes things easier. I do 1/2 the work as anyone else but get by on being "the thinker".
Nathan Ross

Thanks user, let me put a gold star on your arm

>Finance/Accounting Only if you went to ivy league or graduated top of your class.
But honestly, trades are still in high demand. I know a union electrician that makes 6 figures.
Jacob Price
i assumed you were interested in money like anyone else looking into a career.
i don't know how boomerized it is, but if you're looking to do interesting research i doubt there's much of that, i assumed you knew that
Easton Stewart
i guess that's true for finance, but you definitely don't have to go to an Ivy league school for accounting
Cooper Jones
I had two friends that got a bachelors in accounting. There were no jobs for accountants, so they had to change career paths. One is now a Fire Fighter and the other is a Green Beret.
Thomas Brown
Learn how to log soil. Withstand standing near a drill rig for 10 hours, type up your boring logs and wait for the PM to think your logs are shit. Also get your hazwoper and asbestos certs
Justin Baker
Have a This. Being a doc is pure nightmare, nursing is about the same while having much more life when young, earning less money (negligible amount) and wiping ass. Avoid both.
Joseph Cooper
What about PA?
Lincoln Mitchell
Financially, the most reasonable option of those three. You might spend the rest of your life wondering if you could make it to a doc or not. You'd need deeply rooted beta mentality or coping skills for that. Not saying docs are not cucks either.
Jace Garcia
Should also note that all three professions, MD, PA, RN, are now enjoying a boom in the travel field, which offers per diem untaxed pay on top of the pay rate you negotiated on top of the contract. >work 13 weeks >sock and save, live out of motel >take a month off >repeat Cleared about 78k across 9 months just sitting around on night shift jawing about politics to my most psychotic patients at the RN level. Contracts I've seen for PAs have been around 50-120/hr + per diems depending on the state. NPs are slightly more.
