Medicine or Engineering/ Computer Science. Calling it now. Called it.

@abdirahmanfarah6998 It really is up to you. I personally feel Economics are going in the way of most business degrees, becoming too generalized but that's just my opinion; and to be honest, I don't really know enough about it. I reccomend taking a single class in Computer Science to see if it's for you. Or even better, sit in on a lecture and try the first homework. The first homework is simple, usually just "say hi" in whichever code they have you learn. A middle schooler can do it. The second being simple math like "1+1" in your code's language. The thing I personally like about Computer Science is it feels much less like a degree and more like a job. You're presented with a problem each weak, but there's multiple solutions.That's essentially what the entire degree is, problem solving using machines. It's stressful. But nothing feels better than when you finally get a program to run. I remember I cried once.

@abdirahmanfarah6998 Thanks dude. You too. Remember us little guys when you're smoking pipes chilling in your office on Wall street lol.

@The Algorithm Computer Science. I originally got a Liberal Arts degree, but I can't find a entry level job paying more than 31k ($15 an hour).

@The Algorithm Yes. I already did most of it. Every degree is the same, 2.5 years of useless gen-eds. So I just have to the core classes.

@The Algorithm Criminal Justice. I'll get my C.S. degree next year during Fall. Maybe this Summer if I continue to take 6 courses each semester. That said... It is extremely hard. Solving one error just creates 3 more. Sometimes I want to cry. But then I read a story on some guy getting a entry level job paying 80k with a C.S. doing what he loves and I'm push through.

@The Algorithm That depends how much you're willing to sacrifice. I mean really risk everything. I'm not good with math either. So you have to get ready to accept failure. I failed "pre-calculus 1" three times before I finally passed it. Just to show you how bad I want it. You have to want it that bad. Bad enough you won't skip off and get a "easier" degree because you failed a class or two.That you won't settle for "good enough". For STEM degrees, especially ones like Engineering or Computer Science, it has to everything or nothing at all Take it from me. You don't want to bail out and get a Liberal Arts or Business degree, thinking you'll somehow make it or get lucky. You'll just end up regretting it. You need to want this more than anything. So, how bad do you want it?

@The Algorithm I reccomend watching more Shane Hammus videos. He'll tell you same as me. Stick with Engineering, Medicine, and especially Computer Science. That's the future proof money jobs. I had a lot more but YouTube keeps deleting my comments.

@abdirahmanfarah6998 Nope. I came into it as fresh as the average guy. Most people with a Computer Science degree started out the same. Most people think we'rr ghe stereotypical geniuses or hackers, whom just happened to go to college lol. Honestly, Computer Science isn't hard. It's all your other classes alongside it that's the problem. Namely the bullcrap filler classes like History, English, and even some of the Math courses. Those classes are not hard either, but they're time consuming, when you rather be preparing for an internship at a tech company or working on a pet project you post on Github.
