Computer science is you want fast easy money after graduation. You just have to deal with larping from /sci/ but you will literally make 6 figures in your first job.

I double majored in physics and math at an accredited but shitty engineering school

We used griffiths for quantum, didnt cover lagrangian mechanics until last 2 weeks of 3rd year mechanics, hamiltonian mechanics was barely half of a lecture, shitty lab equipment, favoritism towards females, terrible programming classes, etc

I still loved the shit out of it but I wish I tried a little harder to apply for a mathematical physics program somewhere else...

Friend of mine is a civil engineer who works for a provincial government. He does city planning or some shit. He works about 10 hours a week. I've made a game out of opening the steam app on my phone and seeing if he is playing PoE during the day. He rarely actually goes to work lol.

Also reminder that engineering is a scam. You work yourself to death in school to become Chad's little cubicle monkey bitch boy. Chad studied business, which lets him collect $120k a year browsing facebook while barking orders at you. You studied engineering, so you're desperate to please Chad by working 60-70 hour weeks, or else risk losing your $50k salary in the next round of engineering downsizing layoffs.

I’m not advocating for stem in particular, dumbass, just saying that med school isn’t something you can just waltz into unlike every other major. Of course it’s the best career choice of all, but there’s a reason why it isn’t and will never be a bubble (unlike software eng for example)

As an FYI, for Civils (i.e. highway, bridge, traffic, etc.), you generally either go public and have a decent salary with exceptional benefits, or you go private with a higher salary, mediocre benefits, but you also may get more opportunities for fun projects and vertical movement. Often I meet folks who have done both, made good bucks in consulting then went to the public sector later in life to relax basically.

Depends if you want to end up working in either design or management/maintenance kinda fields.

Maintenance tends to lead to higher pay but will suck the life out of you if you go towards the project management route (judging from my bosses at least). Design is more interesting but less pay and less hands on - more computer analysis shit, which can be its own nightmare. Although this is just in general, I imagine you could make it pretty far either way.

Med school isn't if all you want is money.
If you are hard working enough to get into medical school. You can go into CS and make a lot of money and not have to burn your 20s away in school going half a million into debt.

Yep I sure wish I could’ve been born in that great country where you either live in the most expensive big cities that drain the life out of you, or you’re stuck in a soulless suburban area that looks exactly the same as the thousands of other suburban areas spread throughout the country, with malls and drive throughs repeating themselves for hundreds of kilometers on end. At least you’re paid a few dozen grand more than most of your euro counterparts, right? I mean, QoL put aside :^)

I work 35 hours a week, including my 1 hour long lunch break.
