What degree should I get?

Which one? I'm not sure. Not that I'm particularly interesting in anything. Maybe medicine, but I'm already 22 and the long pipeline will eat up more years, and I'm likely not smart enough. Besides that, I'm interested in studying psychology, but I heard it's a useless degree and I can just get a minor or study that on my own.
Is a business degree worth anything? Is it flexible and broad reaching in terms of job opportunities?
Let me know, /adv/.

      I don't know if I can compete with the nerds in that field who already have the advantage of four years and youth and experience on me..

        You almost certainly can. Universities can't shit out CS majors fast enough. That's why so many companies resort to using shitty spaghetti code made by jeets. If you're a well educated white guy, even if you're pretty average as far as intelligence goes, you'll be fine. Especially with something like cyber security. Both CS and cyber sec. are evergreen fields. You mentioned flexibly and broad job opportunities. I don't think it gets more flexible than 100% remote 100k starting positions. I know programmers working totally from home making like 120k a year, and you can see jobs like that on Linkedin pretty easily. With CS, you can have a 100% remote career with cyber and make WELL over the average income, sometimes only working like 4-5 hours a day. That shit's wild.

        Total meme. Waste of money unless you have a very specific career path planned out. (IE psych into criminal psych and become an criminal investigator. Friend did something like that).

          What is it like to study CS, and what is like to work in cyber security. What does it take, what is to be expected? Your favorite and least favorite parts of it?

          It's not what you think. To frick with a degree unless you are actually capable of being an engineer or hard scientist. Go get a cert, just one, it'd a couple hundred bucks instead of tens of thousands for a degree. You can do it in a couple weeks instead of years. You can put together enough certs for a cushy network administrator job in less than a year and like, a few thousand dollars.

          I'm not so sure. I've never done coding nor am I passionate about it. I hear people talk about their work at these tech companies and it's a big deal for them. Can really just anyone get into it?

            Let me clear this up. Network administration and security really isn't coding, or generally not a lot. You'll use network management tools for the most part and some medium strength command prompting.
            If you can't handle getting one of the common certs, then that's a sign that it isn't a good fit, but imma be real, you won't find a comfier job than sitting at home watching anime half the day and getting paid 30-45 smackers an hour.
            We are trying to advise you of a good job, it'll pay your bills and is something you won't need a shitload of time and debt to get into.

              Okay, I guess it won't hurt to try because I don't have any better ideas. Are these certs really enough. Is any level of college education necessary.

              Not him but:
              What certs in specific should a guy get for that path? If it's a lot you don't have to list them just a few to get headed in the right direction. I'm a wagie and it's looking like either that or self employment

                You don't have to do this one, but if you start looking at jobs you'll see CompTIA A+ a bunch on government jobs or contracts. You don't have to do the boot camp, you can study on your own then just pay for the test.
                https://www.comptia.org/certifications/a
                The test is a few hundred bucks, but you'll need to study for it properly and there are tons of books available for all of the major certs, another one is Amazon web services:
                https://aws.amazon.com/certification/
                If you want to try it out just pick up a book on ebay or something for cheap and work through it. If you can handle that you can handle the job. Once you pass the test you've got the cert and bingo-bango.
                Also microsoft:
                https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/certifications/browse/?roles=administrator&products=azure
                These are some of the big ones, but you can see more by just looking at job listings for network administration openings.
                Hope that helps!

          If you want to do psych, you really need grad school, a bachelor's degree in Psych is starbucks-tier bullshit. But generally speaking, I'd avoid college unless you can get a scholarship for both your bachelor's and for grad school. Do NOT pay for grad school.

        Why'd you decide to study physics

        Go nursing. Work 3 days a week and chill for the rest of it with your guns.

          3 12hr shifts. They're cake. Only residents do that 36 hour shift nonsense.
          I love watching them slink to their team room to nap, wait 30 minutes then send a page, it's great.

                It's not much of a story. Her daughter is a crazy b***h who dropped out of college for drugs. She lost her dad tona cheerleader in her class. He always liked me and wanted me to fix his daughter.
                My fiance was always big on fitness and as a sort of revenge she started fricking me in my car at the gym after we split. Can't tell you the messages I received from my ex and her dad after they found out and I blocked their numbers. I don't care though, the sex is heaven, she's the most beautiful woman I've ever met, and we love each other. That's about all there is to it.

          Not that anon, but I did a bsc in physics and now do IT support (self learned). The simple reality is. B.E is better in terms of careers open to you right out of school. You need at least a MSc to do anything with physics.
