>>11602993Incorrect. Mathematics and physics graduates still get employed as engineers in industry, financial analysts on Wall Street, etc. and have an advantage applying for pretty much any other job because of how difficult the degrees are.
Engineers talking about how they're going to "make bank" are ignoring how the economic value of their degree alone (not accounting for other factors, of course) is decreasing because of the vast number of people obtaining engineering degrees.
That being said, if you choose what you want to study based on what is "economically useful," you're a brainlet and a dilettante anyways.
Just study what you're interested in and recognize that "making bank" is a superficial and ultimately unfulfilling goal. That's the true patrician route.
