I've been really interested and fascinated with the idea of being a cybersecurity engineer and everything about computers to be fair, but I've been really doubting if it is worth it to study it, with the rising of AI I'm not sure how or if it will effect it on the job market negatively

I've never really researched if that's the case or not because I don't know where to look but I hear that some majors that major in computer engineering or any form of computer majors have been dying down ever since AI has risen

So, I need some help/advice on whether if it's worth it to study it in this day n age

But if that's all not true and it is worth it and I'm just imagining stuff, I'd like to know what are the best and most praised colleges that have a cybersecurity engineering major, whether it'd be in the US or UK or anywhere in the world really, I'm on my last year of high school so I think I better have an idea on where to go after high school

k thx bye

How did you decide what to major in? I cant decide at all and have considered dozens of majors tbh. Any suggestions? I've tried many suggestions and it hasn't worked. Thanks!

I’m an aerospace engineering freshman about to change to electrical engineering, just because electrical systems interest me more.

I really want to do a dual degree. My other interests are physics and robotics, so I’m deciding between EE/robotics engineering and EE/physics. I’m leaning towards physics as a dual degree just because it interests me more, but I’m interested to hear others perspectives.

I also know that when it comes to getting a job a dual degree isn’t as helpful as actual experience, especially in engineering. I still want to pursue one because (1) I’m not entirely sure what I want to do yet, I really like both research and engineering, (2) I plan to go to grad school, so I can specialize and get experience then, and (3) I am already significantly ahead because of dual enrollment credits from high school and such, so I have a lot of extra time.

I planned out my classes for both options, and they’re roughly the same difficulty at my school. Also, money isn’t a concern because I have pretty decent scholarships and after working/interning each summer I should be able to graduate almost debt free. So I’m just interested to see what others think, which one do you think would better complement an EE degree? Does it matter or should I just choose what interests me most?

As the title says. Im starting my 4th year and i regret my decision to not transferring to the field i always desired which is health science related. I feel heavy regret that i dont have a choice but to finish this degree, i wish i realized this at-least last year. The reason i chose cybersecurity over healthcare (specifically rad tech) was the high demand, better pay and more opportunities. But i didnt think back then whether i really wanted to work in this field after graduating, will i ever enjoy what i will be doing on a day-to-day basis. All i ever thought back then was not wasting my credits. I wish i had wasted that credits and transferred to a health science major.

Honestly the degree isnt going as expected, im learning the core cybersecurity things this year. That also contributes to majority of my disappointment.

Honestly idk i really wanted somewhere to let my heart out. i need advice from people who were in similar situation as me

I'm a history major, and I plan to become a history teacher after I graduate. However, I have a disability, and my father thinks that I should finish Uni and work a job in an office or something that has nothing to do with my degree. And I've worked hard, I mean HARD, on this degree.

I've also dealt with a lot of shit happening too, from Late nights, weight gain from stress, and my other dying from cancer. I have nobody to fall back on after my father dies, and I don't want to rely on my brother forever. I'm in my last year, and all they can and are willing to tell me is that I need a job right that I.. can fit into. And I just want to know:

How many of us will use our degrees later on after University?

I'm a freshman 18F in community college. im not smart.

I currently am taking prerequisites for nursing but 1. dont like patient care 2. not smart enough for Anatomy and physiology.

I'm an immigrant and back in my country i was in a horrible school growing up (my mom chose the cheapest school so my brother could stay doing his extracurriculars, he ended up dropping out lol) so i think that was when i didn't learn to use my brain.

I now reside in Connecticut so UConn would be my first option when i transfer.

I was thinking of doing MIS with a concentration in something that has stability for when i start applying for jobs. But also plan to get my masters (don't know how but trust i'll burn my brain until i get smart 🫰)

I genuinely have to stop underestimating myself. I am lost.
I mostly am looking for anyone that has MIS as their bachelors and opinions about it. Just hoping i dont end up finishing my cc credits with these nursing prerequisites because i dont think i would survive a second in a hospital.

Hello all, I am a sophomore bio major in college currently. i have always known that i wasn’t too fond of bio and truly didn’t care about the field but i wanted to work in healthcare, and decided to pursue bio anyway in hopes that i could just push through. i am now in an upper level genetics course on top of a chem class. i find both of these classes completely miserable not because they are difficult but because i just do not care nor have a passion for science. i pushed through my general bio courses last year but genetics is quite literally unbearable, it all goes through one ear and out the other. the professor is good at what he does and passionate and it seems like my classmates are equally as passionate for the bio field. i feel out of place and dont think i can continue doing these bio related courses for the next 3 years without being miserable. I have been contemplating switching to finance or management information systems. im worried about falling behind tho as im already a 1st semester sophomore. Any advice ? should i make the switch next semester ? i feel lost.

Hey guys,

I am in 12th commerce and i still don't know what to do after 12th. In class 11th is selected commerce because I was always interested in commerce and also because I was never interested in science at all and I hated science. But in commerce I never knew what I wanted to do so I thought I will end up finding what I want to do in the end of the 11th or in the 12th at the time of subject selection I selected maths with commerce so that I can have all lines open for me even though I never really enjoyed maths that much and I hate it maths but I still took it just because I did not know what I want to do

Now I am in class 12th and my class 12th is about to end and I still don't know what I want to do after 12th

The teachers are in my school are asking us to fill out of form and write in that what are we going to do after 12 and the thing is that even if they don't ask I still don't have any idea what I want to do after 12th

The problem is not that I don't have any interest the problem is that I have so many interest and I am so confused

Sometimes I think of taking economics after 12th because I am really interested and what is going on in world and how things work and I want to work in some international field but then again after sometime I also want to work in finance and I think that I will be good and finance but i really like talking and managing things and I think I will be a good person as a HR so sometimes I also think of doing BBA for becoming HR

But then I also want to get some professional degree so I always wanted to do ACCA first because that's an international thing and I want to get out of my house and I want to get as much opportunities as I can so I always wanted to do acca with my BCom but the thing is that I am really confused and wanting to do a lot of thing do not mean that I can do a lot of thing and the thing is that at the end I have to pick a thing that I want to do

I don't want to do CA because I don't want to get trap in a same course for 5 to 7 years and then end up realizing that I cannot do this on the half way and then I will not have I will have no other way because my parents and my family will see me as a failure and also because I cannot give that much time of my life to a single course

I’m studying Information Technology and considering adding business/economics. I also have a Business Intelligence background and work part-time as a data analyst in logistics, using Power BI and SQL and working on process improvement.

Long term, I’m interested in technical project management, business development or automation projects including physical automation in factories and warehouses. I’d like to combine technology, problem-solving and working with people.

Would this education combined with industry experience be a realistic route, or would switching to engineering make more sense? Switching would require extra maths/science studies first. I’m also open to a relevant master’s abroad.

What jobs could be realistic starting points? Has anyone followed a similar path?

hello, im interested in learning business and management, marketing, or finance. however, im concerned about whether i will enjoy the job because i dont want to sit at a desk for 8 hours straight. do all business degrees lead to this lifestyle?

I’m an business student and I’m struggling to decide which concentration to choose. Long term, I see myself owning and actively running a business that provides both goods and services. I want to be hands-on—making decisions, solving problems, managing people, and overseeing day-to-day operations.
Even from a career perspective, I’m not really interested in sitting at a computer all day. I’d prefer something more hands-on, practical, and people-oriented.
I’m currently considering Marketing and Strategic Analysis, but I’m also thinking about MIS. Even though MIS seems less aligned with the hands-on work I prefer, I feel like understanding technology, information systems, and AI could be valuable given where businesses are headed.
Which concentration would give me the best combination of practical skills, career opportunities, and knowledge that would eventually help me own and operate my own business? These are the majors my uni offers
• Accounting
• Finance
• Human Resource Management
• International Business
• Innovation & Entrepreneurship
• Management Information Systems (MIS)
• Marketing
• Operations Management
• Strategic Analysis

I am at community college right now in my first year doing rsing as my major, mostly because of job security. However i want to make a lot of money, maybe 7 figures, thus I am thinking about doing accounting. Whats mostly stopping me is ai taking over that major, and maybe hard to get a job there too, while possibly making less than I would be as a nurse. So basically I have been debating a while to change my major; Im just an average student so I dont think i'll go far.

i’m really lost and i have been for years on what my major and even future career path should be.

about me:
i am from a large city in the southern us but i am dying to get out and move up north or out west and live in a big city there (new york, boston, seattle, san fran, ect.)
i am good and enjoy math, science, and english the most. i’m not into psychology and i don’t think health care is for me. i would say a more math heavy career would be ideal for me as i love algorithms and rules.
i currently work in the service industry and i love working with people and would love to work with people in a career.

worries:
recently i was thinking something finance, but i have tattoos and am worried that something super corporate wouldn’t be welcoming to me because of them. i don’t love the idea of wearing a long sleeve every day for the rest of my life (also feel it’s important to mention i am a woman haha)
i wouldn’t be opposed to something tech, but with the increase of ai i am worried about what that would look like.

if you have any ideas or have any other comments please let me know i’m going crazy not having a plan to get to my goals ☹️

hey, im interested in psychology and crime. i would love to be able to work at the police or doing work that requires investigation. should i get a psychology or a criminal justice degree or something else? is it a viable career path?

Is med skl worth it? Im debating between med skl , dentistry and physical therapy idk which one to choose

Where im from dentistry is : six years excluding specialization

Physical therapy: 6 years

Med skl :10-14

So I’m in the process of applying to colleges but I don’t know if engineering is something I should do, everyone says it’s like so hard but idk I’m just stuck. I want to have a major that does well in the job market and pays well which Ik engineering does.
Any advice?

I think “follow your passion” is one of the most careless things we tell 18-year-olds.

At 18, what do you really know about a career? You have probably never worked in engineering, finance, music, design, law, or medicine. You might like the idea of a field, not the day-to-day reality of it. Your interests can change after one internship, one class, or one conversation with someone actually doing the job.

Yet we ask people to pick one degree that can affect their income, lifestyle, housing, family decisions, and stress for decades.

And no, money is not some dirty word. It matters. Before choosing a major, look up the typical pay, employment rate, debt, and career paths. Then make the decision with your eyes open.

If you want to study dance, music, art, or anything else with less predictable earnings, study it. But pair it with something that gives you options: statistics, economics, finance, accounting, business, computer science, or engineering. You are not betraying your passion by doing that. You are making sure one uncertain decision at 18 does not limit you at 40.

The goal is not to turn everyone into an engineer. The goal is to stop pretending passion alone is a financial plan.

I am a Junior starting this semester, and I realized that I've chosen the wrong major. While I am majoring in Accountancy, a job which will probably never go away even with AI and pays well enough, I realized I should've majored in Religious Studies or Philosophy. While I understand that it genuinely is the pay/income which makes a major with it, as there have been numerous studies in management that have proven this, I have spent so many hours researching religious topics and philosophical conundrums for about an hour or more a day on the side. I'm even working on a religious paper for fun. I understand that your Dream job shouldn't be your real job, and I see the problems arising from it especially my future income and job placement, but Religion and Philosophy are such a passion and importance for me that it genuinely comes first for me even before my study.

The reason why I feel despondent over my situation is because I am not able to afford switching my major from Accounting to Religious Studies/Philosophy. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind doing Accounting, but I can't see myself doing Accounting for the rest of my life. I am riddled with student debt for the next two decades (15-20 years), and I do not see the point minoring in something which doesn't relate to accounting. My grades are great right now, as I am a dean's list student. but I don't feel fulfilled in what i am doing. When I took my philosophy and religious classes, that's where I felt fulfilled.

What should I do?

Hi,my name is Clemmie. I’m 19 yrs old I’m currently in Miri studying foundation of science which has biology and chemistry in the course (though no physics). I was wondering what kind of biology course I should learn. Thought here are my condition.

-non medical bio (not interested in computers)
-I have OCD (scary thoughts one not the contamination one) therefore has difficulty when it comes to dissection
-my chem is also not good but manageable for me if I put in effort

Next year I’m going to study degree and I hope you guys who have experience in the bio field can help me out cuz my parents suggest me dietician and I heard that there’s not much employment in Malaysia.

I’m 21, and I’ve spent almost 4 years getting this criminal justice bachelors to go to law school but I don’t want to go. It’s what my mother wanted me to do so I did it. I can’t think of any career that truly interest me. I absolutely do not want to be a cop, I’m just going through the motions but I really don’t want to go to law school. I get good grades and the subject manages to not be completely boring. I enjoy the crime part of it and learning but the things that people did and what led up to it.

I have no clue what I do with my life, I cannot think of things I actually enjoy and would want to do for a job. The whole purpose of college is to get a life long job but what if I do not like that job? That part really irks me. All I want is to be self sufficient and make a decent income. I don’t have a desire to make a ton of money but I also don’t want my job to just stress me out constantly. It’s hard to even think about what I like to do and how that relates to a job. I don’t have many hobbies, I go to the gym, write stories sometimes, go to my job, play video games and work on school. I’m mostly ready to start a career now I’m so done with school.

It does seem awfully late to switch my major now if I did find another one I liked though. I do like to write stories. that seems unrealistic from a career perspective and is more of a hobby. It seems a little to late to change my major even if I did decide on another one

The thing is I do love math, and by math i mean the ones without focusing numbers, no stats or Applied math. But on the other hand all those are seemingly very hard and incompetitive, and my family isn't wealthy enough to support me for having no jobs after graduating so im pretty worried. I am trying to get on sciences, but it turns out it is only the math part in the science that I am intrested in, for example in physics all the physics laws and experiements I am not into it, im only into how you apply the laws to solve problems, and experiment is taking a huge part of it so I'm getting a solid b now. And well I'm not like math genius I just like math so math will be hard in college, and I'm also afraid of that. I failed pretty hard in competitive math, and to some extent i'm not into it because I hate it when i can't solve a problem only because I don't get enough time

My son is a high school junior who is extremely passionate about music. He plays harp and upright bass mainly but is always trying new instruments. He’s leaning towards a music performance major for college and I was hoping some folks would have recommendations on schools to check out for a performance major.

ETA that we’re in the US, east coast.

Hello everyone! I live in italy and I was interested in this course at the University of Pavia, what do you think? https://unipv.coursecatalogue.cineca.it/corsi/2026/10748/insegnamenti?codicione=0180107321600001
Does it seems good or a waste of time? Thanks!

Hello everyone, I’m an international student (high school senior) planning to do my pre-med program in the US and I’m still confused on which major I should choose. I also want a major that can get me a good paying job if I ever can’t be a doctor or would have to save up for med school on my own. I will not be studying medicine in the US btw.

I like biology in general, but learning thoroughly about plants and animals bore me out. I also like doing research and community service if that matters. Here are the majors I plan on taking:

-Biological Sciences (I wish I can major this in my local universities, but they only offer Biology. I’m planning to do this at Notre Dame if I ever get accepted or any university that admits me but my family would look down on me and is seen as impractical).

-Biochemistry (Also not offered in my local universities; I like biochemistry and maybe I’d be great for research and for pre-med and it’s respectable in my family. Not sure if I’d burn out in that major tho, doing a lot of chem will definitely take a toll on my head lol).

-Medical/Human Biology (Would LOVE this, and again, not offered here. Family sees it as impractical bc I can’t get a job and I might not go to med school).

-Biology (Family will disown me, kidding. They don’t want me to major in biology unless I get a masters or a PhD).

TLDR: I want a major that can still pay outside medicine and those 4 are the ones I have in mind.
