Best science majors reddit. So my question would be what majors are really the ones that put you in a good position? Share Sort by: Best Open comment sort options Add a Comment unsurewolf •• Edited My question to you is: out of these five options (mathematics, chemistry, physics, computer science, mechanical engineering) which provides the best overall experience in your opinion? happiness/enjoyment, work-life balance, and salary are all things I look for- in that order- although higher salary is of course an added bonus. If you are primarily Currently considering biology (the school is phenomenal at biotech, so I’d be doing something like cell biology, microbiology, or biochem+molecular as the specific majors) or climate science (would specifically be majoring in coastal and ocean science which has a lot of spatial moddeling and marine science classes, and maybe a minor in GIS). Despite all of of the conversation around how STEM majors are great, hard science majors really aren't that in-demand unless you earn a graduate or professional degree. The only one exception may be mathematics. Best science degree for job security is an engineering degree :p I work with a good few physics majors in aerospace, but they're more like jobs which require someone capable of understanding science than true "science" jobs. You are interested in primarily natural science majors so there is likely to be a lot of overlapping coursework requirements at the start of the degrees. People still present CS or engineering like the best things you can study. Best “science” degrees that are not engineering in my opinion are computer science, actuarial science, statistics, data science, math. Do you see the common denominator in all of them? Yup, it’s math. There aren't a lot of available career paths linked to biology and chemistry outside of lab work, and there isn't much room for career growth in a lab environment unless you earn a graduate degree. Take some courses, find what you like most and go from there. It might have been a goldmine back in the day but it really isn't anymore. . xfilz ymleqe uvbex eyuzzu vclj mbra nupjdy hxke rqnhr twgp
