What would you suggest a kid who wants to go to college next? He's not into med, he wants into engineering, CS could be obsolete in 4 years? Mech doesn't pay well, so what are his options? Non stem is fine too, Law? What would you suggest? Do /sci/ or math fags earn actual monies?

Be a physicist or a mathematician and work in a financial institution.
You'll make a good bank. And gain the skills to explore nerdy stuff as a side thang

Personally I think we'll have to worry less about learning the next framework/language that's totally 100% different from the previously used and for which recruiters require you to have at least 5 yoe (other languages dont count!!!), and instead we'll worry more about specifications, requirements, architecture, maybe pseudocode too

Business, Finance, or Law. Spend your time making connections. If you don't get into an Ivy give up. AI will replace all other fields. If you don't have connections with extant elite you will die in poverty on the street.

Fabrication. CNC, additive printing, laser cutting, etc. They all have a computer component to them but are hands on skills that require a physical presence. If you're in the US, many states have tech schools that are free or low cost. When I lived in Georgia, if you maintained a C average, you got 50% off the cost of technical college. If it was an "in demand" skill, it was free.
These are semi-skilled trades so he's not likely to be replaced by the third worlders hanging out in the Home Depot parking lot. With global free trade coming to an end, local fabrication will be more in demand.

Mathematicians are good at analysis. Physicists are good at applied mathematics (optimal control, stochastic processes, and variational calculus). The best thing you can probably do is be a physicist for finance and a mathematician for economics.

Chemical pays nothing in my country. You probably need a PhD to even get paid. cse is still the only way, but with hiring slowdown, llms, kinda bleak for CS fags desu. I'm a CS fag myself but I'm afraid to suggest it.

CS is no longer an infinite money glitch. If you like computers and don't mind wasting a significant portion of your free time on coding personal projects, you'll figure it out. But you should start expecting a normal engineer's salary and benefits.

The biggest downside with CS right now is that you have less job security than most engineers for a variety of reasons. SWE has roughly the same salary level as Electrical Engineering, but currently Electrical has the better career prospects and stability.

That may change by the time you graduate. If you have ~5 years before you enter the market you can't really predict how things are gonna go. 3 years was enough time for the major AI boom we've seen and (as far as I'm concerned) enough time for the AI bust to start. These trends happen all the time in the market.

>>16634354
From what I've heard Chem / Materials science is a great field to be in right now if you have any vague interest in Chemistry and live in the US. The downside is you'll probably need a PhD to start making serious money, but you have endless opportunities and Chem departments are desperate for talent rn. I would honestly seriously look into this, but ignore getting a physics degree and get a chem degree instead lmao.

It doesn't matter what school you go to. Unless it's an Ivy-League and you're trying to work with yuppies in Big 4, it doesn't matter.

In my personal opinion, there are and have been only 4 degrees that mattered:
>Electrical Engineering
>Computer Science (Cybersecurity and Back End Development)
>Finance
>Business Analytics

chem is an even deader end than mech. Go where there's less people and less of a barrier to entry

Stop thinking about money. College is not for money, it’s for learning. In the chatGPT world we now live in, it’s incredibly easy to cheat through school and thus a college degree stops being a distinguishing signal between competence and incompetence
