Actually the science degrees are mostly pretty useless if you stop after undergrad, since they don't teach you any immediately applicable skills. Like, if I were not to apply to grad school, I would be way worse off with my math and physics degrees than someone who had done computer science, EE, statistics or something, because what I can do is basically those things, except an employer is thinking "I might as well take someone who actually has one of those degrees so I'm positive they know the basics." Pretty unfortunate considering getting a physics degree is just as difficult as getting one of the more challenging engineering degrees.
for pure math and physics this is absolutely true. oddly enough the most common profession for physics ph.d's is a wall street trader. there's no market for it.
Lol cuz associate degrees are worth a damn right? The economy were in right now is basically if you don't have a 4 year degree (in a math, science, engineering, or health care I should add) from a fairly big named school (usually that means it needs a D1 football team) you are a dime a dozen.
are you kidding? law careers aren't what they used to be but they're still lucrative enough. however your definition of "big name school" is a good signal that you have no idea what you're talking about. do you really think that a Williams degree will lead to less than all but a handful of schools?
where you go for undergrad doesn't mean a lot. grad program is more important.
