English confirmed for FUCK YOUR SHIT I'M ENJOYING MYSELF.

Fuck yeaaaaah English.

Majored in History, currently in law school, so it averages out. Really, I don't know why History is so low. Yes, you can't do much with it except teach or go into graduate school of some sort, but it is very helpful in understanding the world and humanity. Unless you take some bullshit history courses like "The history of disabled left-handed gay black women in South Carolina".

Also, God tier is all math-based. Fuck math. >:C

>>268554
Math is the current key to technological or societal advancement. History and communication have only taken us so far, and now math is doing the legwork. Get used to it.

>>268556
Technological, yeah, but societal advancement? Splain.

>>268556
Only in economics. I doubt anyone is stupid enough to apply math to social issues or personal relationshi- OH WAIT THEY ARE THAT STUPID.

>>268568
Social development has always been a matter of communication. Now we're making auto-translators and easy long distance communication to spread ideas faster. Language is still important, it's just now a barrier to overcome rather than build off of more than ever before. Not that it's halted or anything.

Animation...Though I'm becoming more apt to character modeling than actual animation itself...

It's a growth experience.

>>268569
Except game theory has some useful applications in law and policy.

>psychologists pick up and put down their work

Actually they have the second highest burnout rate of any industry because it's almost impossible to separate work life from home life when it comes to what they actually do.

>a few paged contacts from their patients every so often

Hollywood/New York therapists see maybe 5 or 6 patients one day of each week for 1 hour and they usually have light self-esteem issues or nervous disorders. The vast majority of others process upwards of twenty utterly miserable people daily for five days a week, take their case files home with them (including weekends).

>Responsibility is limited

Actually there aren't many professions with MORE responsibility than psychologists. The mind is as complex as it is fragile and there are more ways to irreparably fuck shit up than to patch up existing holes. You're constantly treading on thin ice and it never, ever gets easier or safer for you. You are accountable for your patient's thoughts and feelings and behavior. Burnout rate is seriously insane. Most therapists spend about 30 hours talking with a single patient before formally evaluating and there's a growing minority that thinks this isn't anywhere near enough time.

In regards to the nurses vs doctors thing, I'm almost sure that's a cultural thing and I'm also almost certain that it's changing. There are more women in college now than men, including med school. Won't see much for a few more years, though.

Medical and even dental schools are at about equal enrollment for each gender right now, and while the numbers aren't the same for nursing school, I know a lot of dudes who either are currently in or planning to attend nursing school (something pretty unheard just a while back).

There was also a distinct female majority in my science classes, but the same went to the whole uni.

So maybe these professions won't be so skewed by gender in the future.

Psychology is almost always a clambake, though.

>>268585
>all that stuff you said
Right. My therapist told me that her first job after school was with the navy, and she had to do evaluations on guys who said they were suicidal in order to judge whether they were really suicidal or just faking it to avoid going to war. If that's not a big responsibility right out of the gate, I don't know what is. My personal theory on why women are attracted to psychology is the compassion element (desire to help people) and the emphasis on skillful interpersonal interaction. Some women really enjoy grappling with emotions. An uncharitable way to say this is that they thrive on drama and gossip, but you could also say that a difficult emotional situation is like a puzzle to solve. Why do people do the things they do? Not for logical goals, but for reasons not easily understood at first glance.

>>268599
A few of the girls I've talked to just want to be able to read and manipulate people.

I have a lot of shitty friends.

>>268602
That's like becoming a doctor in order to learn how to stab someone with surgical accuracy. :(

>>268602
Major in psychology with a focus on mustache-twirling.

>>268611
Or studying forensics to learn how to dispose of bodies.

... brb, learning psychology, forensics, and medicine.

Dexter ITT

This may come as a surprise to everyone. But I'm a history major.

>Psychology
>A few of the girls I've talked to just want to be able to read and manipulate people
lol

>>268647

What emphasis/focus? Mine was kinda medieval Europe, but I kinda got into Early Modern Britain, did some 20th century stuff, some Islamic and Japanese history, I was all over the place.

>>268666
I started out doing 20th century intellectual history, then did a brief stay in medievel Ireland, now I'm veering towards history of sport.

For now: English.

Political Science: International Studies major Asian Studies minor
Going to teach English in Japan and Korea, maybe China. Starting wage for this profession in Japan: ~$25/hour. I am 21.

>>268683
Hooraaay!
Now how about lending your old pal Zoidtrain a few dollars, ey?

I'm not going to college, I'm going to be a professional cook.

Child psychology.

>>268751
I read that in Nappa's voice.

Animation/Illustration, and considering a minor in Humanities

>>268754
Dub Nappa or Abridged Nappa?

>>268777
Abridged of course.

>have never thought about what I wanted to be when I grew up.
>Started undeclared (they stuck me in Liberal Arts)

Feels bleh, man. I have no idea what the fuck to do with my life.

SERIOUSLY DON'T BE ME

BLUE COLLAR WORK TRADES GOGOGOGO

>>268953
JOIN THE POLICE, YOU GET TO CARRY RIOT GEAR.

>>268952
that

I'd actually love to be a farmer. It's just not a profitable job, unless you're getting subsidies or growing a high-end cash crop or growing drugs (which is illegal).

Me, I'm gonna either end up in theatres working backstage as a gaffer or do something that's just as heavy lifting/hard work that's actually considered blue collar, like carpentry, logging, or as a butcher.

If I'm really lucky, I'll follow my family's footsteps and be either a cop or a spec. ed. worker.

House painting and insulation. (In another country) Studied to the point where I know enough to start my own company.

You know what feels great though? When you go help friends paint their house, everybody but you is using masking tape, you finish way before anybody else and you've done a much, much better job.

Working on History. My ultimate goal is to become a librarian, which will require a Library Science degree and some extra years put in.

>>268951
Drop out and become an electrician or a plumber. You will make as much, if not more, than most of the people who graduate.

>>269022
To be honest, America is short on tradesmen, and a good trade can get you a HUGE starting salary.

It's not a bad idea.

I wanted some of that sweet, sweet paid tuition construction job stuff at Cianbro...
but they weren't hiring. :(

>>269077
plus you can apprentice and get paid to learn! You have to apply though, and they only take apprentices when there's job openings/the business is going well. But if you find a union or whatever that will take you, it's pretty much a win-win situation.

>>269077
What's a good trade right now?

>>269080
Electrician, plumber, BMET, mason, lineman, welder, and instrument mechanic are all good trades.

>>269094
Oh good, my dad's an electrician. Maybe I should follow in his footsteps. Y'know, except for the living his kids to suffer for 10 years thing.

>>269080
Find a city with a lot of good building projects going on, and there'll be plenty of room for painters, electricians, etc. And automobile mechanics will always be needed anywhere.

If you live in an area with a lot of trucking I recommend looking into diesel mechanics. Big rigs require a lot of tender loving care, and a lot of old mechanics are out of work or going back to school due to newer models being made with more and more advanced computers, so young and fresh students are always needed. Truck mechanics are more specialized, get a chance to work for bigger companies and corporations than the local garage down the street or whatever.

If there aren't apprenticeships around, the Universal Technical Institute is a great school. And if you get into a post-grad program with BMW, Ford, Porsche, or whatever company they pay for your tuition and hire you pretty much straight out of school. It's expensive, but worth it. I'd be there right now if culinary wasn't my primary dream.

The thing about the auto industry that if you're on the repair side of things, you basically have no job security at any point in your life. You're constantly no more than a day away from unemployment.

I went straight into the workforce and I'm living it up!

>>269100
Sup culinary career buddy. But yeah trades are awesome, I would've hit up TVA for their fine instrument mechanic apprenticeship if I didn't want to be a cook
