<p>I'm saying "Fluffy" as opposed to more or less "useless" majors in L&S such as ____ Studies, Dance, Latin, etc. One that will actually get me a nice job in the future. Is there a major linked to a in-high-demand career in the College of L&S, or should I consider switching to the College of Natural Resources (EE&P or ES? What's one of the better majors in the CNR?)</p>
<p>This depends on your interests…Computer Science, Math (or Applied Math), Statistics, Physics, and Economics can all possibly get you great jobs if you do well. I wouldn’t consider them fluffy at all.</p>
<p>psychology… its obviously the hardest (and therefore least fluffy) major to complete. i mean c’mon you’re studying how the HUMAN BRAIN FREAKING WORKS… its totally useful and no one ever majors in it… but seriously</p>
<p>dont major in physics as a core major unless you want to be teaching high school for the rest of your life. it might be fun but from what i hear its almost impossible to get a job. if you’re going to do cs in ls you honestly might as well do eecs in the college of engineering. because if you either decide cs is too hard or you just dont want to do it and your in ls you’re kinda screwed… but yeah it depends on your intrests</p>
<p>There is a demand for physics phds in (quantitative) finance, only if you’re willing to go that far.</p>
<p>Other than that, if you want to try out doing CS, I would suggest you to do it in L&S actually. If you decide along the way that CS is not for you, you can still fall back on the plethora of other majors offered in the college, like economics, math etc. If you are in CoE, you have fewer alternatives and those are all engineering subjects.</p>
<p>You know, if you don’t bother to reserach Callisto or don’t have any connections or just have a lousy personality, you can’t get a nice job even if you’re in EECS. Conversely, even if you think you did a useless major (not too useless like Tagalog though -_-), if you kinda massage your resume to the job you want and put some relevent skills like Java/Python or accounting by spending a little time outside of school, you can get almost any job you want and learn as you go. Some fields might not be in high demand, but you make yourself to be in high demand.</p>
<p>I also have to mention singh2010’s list of majors plus operation research or cognitive science will certainly get you a nice job if you work yourself towards getting a nice job. There’s a bit of difference between working hard academically and working yourself towards getting a nice job… and I think it’s every college student’s task to figure that out as they think about graduation.</p>
