People always talk about how not going to the university does not necessarily mean that things are over. But going to school or university still has some benefits. But what college programs end up becoming most profitable these days? Some may say medicine. I do not think so. It is expensive to become a doctor and you might just end up paying your debts a few years after you graduated.
I say information technology or Computer Science. Very in demand and if we look at the world now, we are in the digital era and they are the ones needed the most. Engineering as well is profitable and always in demand wherever you are. Obviously you should pick a program where you excel at and you will be happy at but a factor of choosing a degree to study is how rich it can make you. I guess I am talking about the degrees with biggest ROIs these days.
What else are profitable programs?
In an era where AI is getting
increasinglymuch more sophisticated, it might actually make some courses increasingly redundant - even things like English, Maths and Science can increasingly be answered almost instantly by sophisticated AI bots and algorithms. Anything that promotes critical thinking will be a positive thing, because we live in a word which increasingly blues the lines between real and fake. Regardless of what you think, medical professions pay extremely well and while it may take a while to pay off the education, after that point you will be making hundreds of thousands a year and in constant demand even if you are mediocre. Top lawyers will also make big money from their degrees but IT is the place to be in the next couple decades.
