[QUOTE="rawsavon"] What does bother me is when the village idiot is one of the loudest people in town. Guppy507

As a psychology major, I'm surprised it's not on the list. Too many people decide to get a B.A. in psychology because they don't know what else to major in.-Toshy-

I thought the same thing, my psyc classes are full of people who probably shouldn't be there

but an idiot is just written off as an idiot. The arrogant prick has an inflated sense of self-importance. Besides, the idiot might fall into a hole somewhere, and provide a good laugh for all involved. What good does the prick do?

Oh. My bad.
Always figured you needed an undergraduate study with a focus on prelaw.
I honestly don't know much outside of the science fields of grduate study.
-Sun_Tzu-

IMO, the best undergraduate degree to get before going to law school would be an economics degree.

It really doesn't matter that much.

With the the control the Law&Econ topic has on legal research, study and jurispprudence- I think it matters a lot. Once I started law school, my biggest regret was not taking econ before.

not surprised you would pick that option...the town loser can easily feel better when the idiot is there alongside them. Glad to see you grew a pair though. this version is much better than the whiny little girl that use to follow a certain someone around GS like a lost puppy...errr...guppy. There is hope for you yet.

That list is really discouraging considering I wanted to go to music school and take my piano playing further. lonewolf604

I was going to go to a conservatoire and do a performance degree at one point. In the end I chose physics instead. I don't regret it - I still play the piano as a hobby (whereas doing physics as a hobby would've been quite a lot harder). Unless you're really,really, exceptionally good, a music degree is probably not the best idea IMO.

[QUOTE="surrealnumber5"][QUOTE="imaps3fanboy"]Yay. Economics isn't up there. Didn't expect it to be though. Nothing wrong with getting a liberal arts degree. Sometimes a BS is too limited and focused. A more broad understanding, coupled with the use of critical thinking is often more important imo.

critical thinking and liberal arts degree? i do not see the connection, now if you were touting a pure math degree the connection would go without saying.

Yeah it confuses me that the subjects people tend to associate with critical thinking are those which are the least logically rigorous

I really have nothing else that I'm really good at. Music is the only thing I have, maybe except for fitness and health studies.

honest question (as in no agenda, don't know the answer). if you are really 'that' good, will a degree help you in any way (piano)? I imagine a masters or PhD is needed to teach at University and natural talent would be used for everything else.

Librarian route it is!
There's a demand for male librarians anyway.

librarian studies is actually not a bad degree to have, my mom is a professor in it and the field as a whole is quickly retiring.

Plus, that naughty librarian look is hot.

Not sure what naughty librarian guy is supposed to look like, but I assume skinny and androgynous.

I am lumberjack librarian.

Oh I see. For performance degrees, my understanding of it (from what I remember from looking into it when I was going to apply) is that it's pretty much piano lessons, just in a more academic format and from exceptionally accomplished pianists. And I think the real benefit of it is that last point - anyone doing a piano performance degree is probably better than the vast majority of private (non-academic) teachers

Oh well in a university rather than a conservatoire it would be different - a university music degree is more about studying music. So most of the classes would be formal music theory and analysis stuff

yeah, that is why I wondered how much it would help. But I never saw them in any regular classes...like ever. Most classes would have people from all majors, but never any music/performing people that I knew of.

[QUOTE="rawsavon"]I guess I should have clarified more, sorry. Will a degree get you something lessons will not (as far as honing your skills)?

There are a lot of details a degree will help you master that lessons alone may not. In some cases, people are just so absolutely gifted that they hardly need direction other than acquiring new sheet music (or listening to a new song for the first time). For some, it takes practice and understanding. Everything from jumping octaves to understanding the circle of 5ths will aid you. Most people who take lessons learn the basics, but few dig into theory and master the very difficult concepts.

It's all helpful.

It helps that the majority of people who enter those fields decide it's simply not for them (whether they choose to leave it, or their program chooses for them). Doctors haven't quite hit critical mass yet, much like K-12 teachers did.

Accounting is also good because companies will always need them. Seems like accountants and engineers have their job on lock. I was also surprised at how much accountants make. My mom only works part time and earns more than I thought she would. Also if you have 10+ years of experience, you can easily earn over 100k

It's very interesting that what someone would remember me by is what I had at the bottom of my sig, and that it would give them the impression that I followed that person around. If it was a dude (lets just say Jandurin for example since he posted earlier), what impression would that give you? Would you assume I followed him around too, or did you just think that because she's a girl?

Yeah, I can always find a job (accounting). Oil and Gas definitely has the best benefits (10-20% bonus is pretty normal plus better retirement matching). The job just tends to be boring as all f*ck. That is the difference b/w accounting and finance. Finance has a higher ceiling (generally, aside from CEO type positions), but they are also not 'needed' as much (let go first). When I graduated with that degree in 2009, they were telling the finance kids to stay in school b/c the market for them was sh*t

If I gave that impression, I can see why since I had that OT marriage thing in my sig for a long time. I'm just surprised I gave any sort of impression (even if I think you're wrong to get that impression) since, as you said, I was a forgettable internet guy that just posted about music I liked.

That was just the only thing I could remember about you tbh...even then, I had to ask if I was right on TDH before I posted that here (I hate being wrong). Like I said, this version of 'you' is much better. I would rather have a GF that fights with me too much than a boring doormat. The same thing applies to all interactions (online and off)

It's very interesting that what someone would remember me by is what I had at the bottom of my sig, and that it would give them the impression that I followed that person around. If it was a dude (lets just say Jandurin for example since he posted earlier), what impression would that give you? Would you assume I followed him around too, or did you just think that because she's a girl?

TBH, it being a girl and the marriage thing probably contributed to my impression...would be near impossible to totally discount that (if being honest). BUT I like brie and noticed her posts. That = I noticed a guy (that I did not otherwise notice) following her around. I would like to think I would notice someone that I did not know otherwise following jand around too. But it is impossible to say what exact impression I would form without it happening. I 'think' I would think of it more as pathetic kid wanting affirmation/acceptance than a lonely internet guy type thing, but that is pure speculation based on limited self-analysis

[QUOTE="rawsavon"]Pharmacist seems like a good 'bang for the buck' as well. If I knew then what I know now, petroleum engineering or pharmacist would have been my fist choice...though I still would have gotten psych just for fun also TY for music degree info

No problem.

Pharmacists do get a good return on their time spent, but it's not a very glamorous job. I'm not sure how much fun I'd have in the library equivalent of the professional health biz. Just not my bag.

Also, I feel I need to clarify some things in this thread. As someone who works in education, I would caution people not to associate major with success. There are obvious exceptions (medicine, law, engineering, etc), but for the most part, anyone who majors in anything can do more than their degree may have them believe. I can't tell you how many people in my class majored in music, and went to medical school. Education in general is not as cut and dry as some things would have you believe. This thread is simply case in point.

It may shock you to learn that many of the most successful people in society today (success = money) have a major or minor in philosophy...

[QUOTE="Klipsh"]
I agree with that list. Sucks for people that aren't good at math and sciences though. Luckily I find that stuff awesome so I knew what I wanted to do.

...accounting is neither math nor science, and you can make good money (though it is boring). But yeah, math/engineering and science/medicine is where the money is at

accounting for financial derivatives, not math? anything with discounting? i will agree for most accounting persons they will never need to know more than how to data entry, but those jobs also dont require a degree at all

edit: i actually wanted to specialize in accounting for mergers and aquisitions, it was my favorite class in college, but i took the first job offer i got.

Accounting is also good because companies will always need them. Seems like accountants and engineers have their job on lock. I was also surprised at how much accountants make. My mom only works part time and earns more than I thought she would. Also if you have 10+ years of experience, you can easily earn over 100k

Yeah, I can always find a job (accounting). Oil and Gas definitely has the best benefits (10-20% bonus is pretty normal plus better retirement matching). The job just tends to be boring as all f*ck. That is the difference b/w accounting and finance. Finance has a higher ceiling (generally, aside from CEO type positions), but they are also not 'needed' as much (let go first). When I graduated with that degree in 2009, they were telling the finance kids to stay in school b/c the market for them was sh*t

With the way the economy is up here in Alberta, if you get any kind of chemical engineering degree, or like you said, a job with and oil and gas company, you're basically set for life. Apparently up in Fort McMurray, people are signing million dollar contracts with companies.

You know a culture is pathetic when they consider artistic and human development useless.

Mine's not on the list. With that said, this list is invalid purely because Phillip DeFranco said it.

in order to take advantage of luxury services you must have a robustly productive economy. those majors are worthless because the economy is in the tank and people cannot afford to be patrons.

I can see where you're coming from because my activity on OT waned significantly around that time, so she was one of the few people I would talk with outside of unions, Darth-Caedus being another if you remember him (miss that guy). Anyway, we're pretty off topic here. Apologies for the insult, but I like Wasdie and you called him an idiot. Not that he needed any white knighting but w/e.

In other words everything is subordinate to a concept of productivity and progress. Exactly why I think this system is a failure. It subordinates even human, spiritual and artistic development to production. We have our priorities all backwards.

Well they're borgs, can't judge them. But what kind of culture puts the borgian ideal as its goal? :P

one individuals spiritual and artistic development is completely subject to their own opinion. good luck feeding your self with your opinion on ghosts and magic.
