 Last year I made the college degree tier list right before a certain health event happened in the world and of course a lot of things have happened since then. And after posting that video I got endless amounts of requests to redo the video and add on a bunch of different majors. So in this video we are going to be ranking college degrees at the bachelor level so four year college degrees and we're going to be ranking them from S tier which is the best all the way down to F tier which is the worst. And if you are someone who is trying to choose the best possible college degree for you or you just want to get the most out of college with the least amount of time, sacrifice and money or if you're trying to get your first entry level job right after graduating college check out my college degree course college 101 down in the description below. It will make your entire college experience 10 times easier and it's going to be available at a discount for a very limited amount of time so check it out while you still can. And by the way guys the way I'm going to be categorizing these degrees is the same way that the US Census Bureau categorizes them so if you don't like the way that I categorize them which categories I put them in then go and talk to your local congressman or congresswoman because this is the way the US Census Bureau categorizes these. Alright so first on the list we're going to be talking about art degrees at the bachelor level and unfortunately I can't rank this one very high. There are a few art degrees out there that are decent you might have a decent chance of getting a job you know graphic design isn't too bad it was probably a lot better about 20 years ago but when it comes to art degrees I highly recommend that you either you know double major in an art and then something else something that's a little bit more you know marketable that has skills that are actually going to be employable or just maybe take extra classes in it or go a completely different route and try to do your art career as a side hustle. So a great example was this guy named Beeple you probably heard of him he recently sold what's known as an NFT or non-fungible token for $69 million and all the way up to his success as an artist he had a day job right so he had a day job that paid the bills that supported him and then he did his art on the side he did it as a side hustle and now of course he doesn't have to work his day job because he's worth probably like a hundred million but I think you get the point here a lot of the time you're going to have to get creative with it when it comes to making money from art so art degrees at the bachelor level are going to go into F tier next on the list we're going to be talking about biological sciences so this is going to be any type of science that deals with living organisms so for instance you know biology microbiology and food science would all fall into this category and of all of these STEM degrees because everybody knows that STEM degrees are all amazing right that stands for science technology engineering and mathematics everybody knows that if you get a STEM degree you're going to be successful but unfortunately that's not true and out of all of the STEM degrees the science one and specifically biological science degrees especially at the bachelor's level are the least good these probably used to be much better you know 20 30 years ago but right now so many people are going into biology for instance thinking that they're going to be able to get a job thinking they can become a scientist with just a bachelor's degree and that just isn't going to happen 99% of the time and so many of them end up going back to school getting a master's or a doctorate spending another you know four to eight years in school just to be able to get a job so this one is going to go into C tier although I will give it high C tier next we're going to be talking about business degrees at the bachelor level and these are really great especially for certain types of people the great thing about business degrees in general is that they're extremely flexible right you can get a business degree you can work in just about any industry in the world for just about any company they also teach you a lot of basic personal finance skills which are incredibly valuable and so many people don't end up learning them until they're you know already deep in debt or they're in their 30s or 40s on top of that business degrees are going to translate very well into somebody after getting some experience and learning some skills becoming an entrepreneur and starting their own business now when it comes to purely just the numbers if you just look at the pure numbers business degrees are not going to be as good as you know engineering degrees technology degrees or health degrees however the fact that they're so flexible gives them such a huge advantage in my opinion and so for that reason i'm going to go ahead and put business degrees into a tier next one on the list is going to be communications degrees so we're going to be talking about communications of course but also degrees like journalism communications degrees of course are extremely general and unfortunately they teach you certain soft skills that can be valuable but in terms of teaching you employable skills a communications degree is kind of a joke but in terms of the numbers they're not as bad as some of the other degrees on the list and so for that reason i'm going to go ahead and put communications into c tier although i will say it is low c tier next on the list is going to be education related degrees so these are degrees that you would get in order to become a teacher talked about this before you know teachers are you know worked really hard they are paid very well unfortunately here in the us and other countries it's different but here in the us that's just you know the sad reality now the great thing about an education degree is you will very likely get a job okay there's not that many people out there who have education degrees that don't have a job unless they chose to not have a job the bad thing about them is pretty much everything else you don't get paid very well they're not very flexible the job satisfaction does tend to be relatively low you also have to deal with a bunch of brats let's be honest so i'm going to go ahead and put education degrees in c tier see just for the fact that you will very likely get a job if you get a bachelor's however it's probably not going to be the best job in order to get a better job that pays higher you're probably going to have to get a master's or a doctorate next on the list is going to be engineering degrees and i got so many hate comments so many triggered engineers because i put engineering degree in a tier instead of s tier and i tried to explain my logic behind that you know basically i just tried to explain that the average person like just the average person out there is probably going to have a tough time getting through an engineering curriculum and so for that reason it doesn't go into s tier goes into a tier for this list i'm assuming that you are somebody who's kind of done your due diligence a little bit and you're not going to go into like a math related career if you aren't somebody who likes math and is reasonably good at it and if you look at the statistics engineering degrees consistently pay the highest on average and we're talking about the highest in terms of just the salary but also how much they make over a lifetime on top of that engineering degrees are relatively flexible they get hired in just about every industry and by every company a lot of the time they get hired for doing jobs that are completely unrelated to the engineering degree itself just because of the fact that they're so well respected when companies hire an engineer they know that they're getting a very smart problem solver that's also a hard worker engineering also gives you a very good chance of becoming a ceo or someone who owns your own business just because at the end of the day engineering is basically just practical problem solving and that's the same thing that entrepreneurship is so engineering curriculum very difficult you're going to feel like you went through hell basically if you get through an engineering curriculum but if you can do it this one is absolutely clearly s tier next on the list we're going to be talking about health degrees at the bachelor level and I always say this one is really weird to compare to other degrees just because of the fact that the timeframes are kind of weird so for instance you've got degrees and certifications that take six months all the way to like 18 years right so becoming a medical doctor if you go all the way through that system getting past residency and fellowship sometimes that's going to take you you know 12 to 15 years sometimes even longer than that on the other hand I was able to finish my farm d degree over two years faster than average because I basically skip the line by using accelerated routes and that's something that I talk about in my course down below so it's not really fair to compare like a normal four-year degree to health degrees that take around four years you know some of them might take three years or two and a half years or five years it is kind of an apples to oranges comparison so keep that in mind but with that being said there are amazing healthcare related degrees on just about every level no matter if it's you know the two-year four-year six-year or eight-year level healthcare degrees are extremely solid all across the board they also tend to have really good work-life balance and on top of that healthcare degrees tend to score really high when it comes to job satisfaction as well as meaning and if you think about it you know the word essential has become kind of a buzzword over the last year but there is nothing more essential than healthcare related careers even if it was the end of the world if it was the apocalypse there would still be doctors and nurses taking care of people in the last hour of existence so there's never going to be a time that these careers get fully automated or outsourced or anything like that there's always going to be demand for healthcare professionals so for that reason healthcare is going to go into s tier next on the list we're going to talk about language related degrees so these are going to be things like English of course but also learning other languages like Spanish or Mandarin etc so in my opinion when it comes to getting a language degree if that's the only degree you get this is not such a good idea i think it can be okay if you combine it with another degree and you double major but if it's the only degree you're getting unless you really know what you're doing and you've really planned things out probably not the best idea there are ways of becoming a translator or an interpreter for instance without getting a bachelor's degree you can learn the language on your own take specialized training and then get certified in order to become an interpreter for instance so you absolutely do not need to get a bachelor's degree spend $80,000 go $40,000 into debt in order to become like a language teacher you know someone who tutors people in different languages or an interpreter or a translator there are other routes in order to get into that in most cases and so you should definitely seek those routes out in my opinion with that being said the world is becoming more global it's becoming more valuable to know multiple languages and so if you are someone who knows multiple languages especially if they are certain types of languages that are highly you know profitable and lucrative like german, mandarin, arabic, russian etc it can be worth it for you so overall i'm going to go ahead and put this one into D tier next on the list is going to be liberal arts degrees at the bachelor level and again with this one you know take extra classes in it minor in it maybe even double major in it but do not do a liberal arts degree on its own most of the time this is going to be an absolute waste of your time and money now with that being said liberal arts degrees are very interesting to me i think they do teach you certain soft skills that are going to be hard to learn in other cases i think a lot of the skills they teach you like critical thinking being able to formulate an argument being able to give a speech and just communication in general is something that you can learn outside of college but with that being said a lot of people don't learn those skills outside of college so there is something to be said for learning these soft skills but if you look at the numbers these ones are just horrible i've gone over this in other videos i'm not going to bring up the numbers in this one you know this one clearly goes into F tier next one on the list is going to be math degrees and this one is interesting because it's basically you know the difficulty of an engineering degree without having all of the positives of an engineering degree right so when we talked about engineering you know high paying flexible a lot of positive things with engineering right with mathematics it's just as difficult as engineering if not more difficult however it's not going to have nearly the upside and i think the reason for that is because it's not as practical as engineering right it's just as difficult but it's a little bit more theoretical but with that being said people do value and covet mathematical related skills and so you might end up getting hired for a job that doesn't necessarily have all that much to do with math so for instance some companies like to hire mathematics and physics majors just because they think that they're the smartest people available and they are willing to train them later on so they're okay with kind of training them and molding them into what they want however other companies a lot of other companies want somebody who already has those real world skills and so for that reason math is just going to slip into a tier next on the list we're going to be talking about physical science degrees so this is any type of science that doesn't have to do with living organisms so we're talking about chemistry and physics here for instance and physics does kind of fit under the mathematics category and also the science category so i just kind of put them in both right so this one has a lot of the same issues that the mathematics degrees have where they aren't really practical they don't really teach you employable skills the skill set that you learn is pretty niche and doesn't necessarily translate to other types of work however with that being said you still have a decent chance of getting a job here it probably is not going to have anything to do with physical science unless of course you get like a master's or a doctorate but other than that i mean you still are probably going to have a somewhat decent chance of getting a job this one is going to go into b tier next on the list is going to be psychology degrees and this is one that's extremely popular i believe it is actually the most popular degree that people graduate with and because of that is is also extremely oversaturated now i can see why so many people are interested in psychology super interesting stuff i actually took extra psychology classes just because i thought it was so cool however with all the propaganda going around where you know oh just go for your passion right just just pursue your passion and then people end up you know going into psychology and they can't find a job and that happens so often people go into psychology and there's just basically zero chance of getting a job at the bachelor's level they have to get minimum a master's degree in order to be considered for a job and a lot of them still can't even get a job at the master's level many of them end up doing something completely unrelated and their psychology skill set pretty much goes to waste and i have seen this happen firsthand personally over and over again right and on top of that i get email after email of people telling me about their experiences and how much pain they went through going through this you know college system and so i know people get really mad at me when i bag on psychology a little bit you know i don't have any problem with uh psychologists i think you know what they're doing with mental health that's great but at the same time i think the school system is taking advantage of people and this one is one of the biggest culprits there's clearly not all that much need for people who have a psychology degree at the bachelor's level so this one is going to go into d tier next is going to be social science degrees and again the reason i separated psychology from social science is because the uh you know us census bureau separates them to me they're kind of in the same category but because of the fact that psychology is so popular i think they decided to just group it into its own category but with that being said especially at the bachelor's level in this particular case social science degrees are pretty much on the same level you know a couple examples here would of course be criminology and sociology very interesting stuff it's just that you know with these types of degrees they're interesting and so therefore a ton of people go into them and they get saturated quickly and so in order for you to have even a chance of getting a job you got to have a master's at minimum that means going back to school for at least two years a lot of the time if you get a doctorate for instance it's going to be more like eight plus years so this one is going to go into d tier as well next on the list is going to be technology degrees at the bachelor's level and there are a lot of really good ones out of all the different types of careers technology may be growing the fastest it's really close between technology and healthcare on top of that technology related careers tend to be really high paying and there's also a lot of demand for technology and one awesome thing is you see so many people for instance that are in the fire movement which is financial independence retire early that work in the tech industry and the reason for that is because not only is it really high paying but a lot of the time you're going to get really good incentives like stock options and on top of that I think technology makes a great segue into either starting your own business or moving into more of a management and a higher paying role so technology is going to go into s tier next on the list is going to be any degree that ends in the word studies I honestly didn't even know where to categorize these I guess they're kind of like liberal arts degrees but you're seeing more and more of these pop up all the time and yes there are a few exceptions here and there of degrees that end in the word studies that are you know still somewhat okay but for the most part if the degree ends in the word studies it's not good all right so it's going to go into f tier check out my other videos right here I made them just for you go ahead hit that like button hit
