What tier is your degree?

This correlates which much of what I've said when it comes to topics regarding majors. Young undergrads picking shit degrees and racking up high debt. Then they wondering why!!! It's a funny chart, sadly honest....

Only thing I don't agree with is how Law is a Low Tier and why Biology is a Mid while Chem is on God.

I would have also added a bullet point on the bottom explaining how income and respect generally decreases as you go down the tiers.

BTW: B.S. Computer Science, M.S. Info Tech (Me)

Shit Tier. In the business of making money, not wasting my time in classrooms of idiotic professors (and professor assistants). However, my business degree is one that dips into technology related. I heavily contemplated getting a CS degree, but decided being a code-monkey wasn't for me. Also, putting computer science on the top tier? Fucking hilarious. Absolutely, hilarious.

Have fun spending 8-years getting more than a bachelors in those science fields all to hope you find a job and that it isn't going back to school to teach it instead heh.

Incredibly stupid chart, considering business degrees are pretty much at the top of producing jobs instead of producing pieces of paper.
 
Law is low because there are so many law students and unemployed with law degrees. Biology is mid because it can be (not exclusively obviously) an Arts degree (e.g. ecology, etc.), and chem is higher because it is actual hard science requiring skill and discipline to master. That's why I dropped it in grade 12.

EDIT: Theology is mid? Nevermind. Stupid chart is stupid.

When I started Comp Sci in 2000 - 2001 it was considered the SHIT. Now I have 10+ years exp, so it doesn't really matter. Comp Sci is not necessarily code monkey...

Business is such a generic field, unless you apply it to "making a business". If that's your dream, then don't go to college.

No, not really - you're just an idiot that hasn't step foot in a business school.

Every company needs business, unlike specialized science that only pertains to particular industries. Every company has an Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Accounting Department, Marketing Department, Tax Department, and Audit - All of those are just what I have off the top of my head, and they are entire DEPARTMENTS. In addition, those departments need to be managed as well.

My degree was in MIS, which has been absolutely excellent for connecting the socially inept IT departments with business departments to get shit done like implementing new ERPs, ERP bolt-ons, database management, etc... I know it's a crazy concept, but my degree also had multiple coding classes and I use them constantly today. People are floored with the concept of using coding to do every-day business tasks instead of manual processes. Once again, a degree is just a fucking piece of paper.
 
Waste of Life Tier, apparently.

idk, I graduated with an English Lit degree and now make 6-figures as a Storage Engineer in NYC.

Chem is on the god tier most likely because relatively few chem majors matriculate each year and they are readily employable (albeit at relatively low wage jobs - pHd'S excepted).

Law is on low tier because contrary to popular belief, most lawyers are not rich and in recent years, >50% of new lawyers are unemployed. There has been a serious oversupply of lawyers for the past 5-6 years or so. Couple that with the fact that a law degree is usually extremely expensive to obtain and . . . nuff said.

FWIW - I have a degree in chemistry and a JD.

Is it me, or are there more and more titles where they stick some random ass word in front of "engineer" and make it a position? What is a 'storage engineer'? What are you storing? Is there even such a degree? 😕
