The Easiest Majors That Pay Really Well

What's happening, guys, it's Shane here, and in today's video, we are going over a highly requested

topic, and that is the easiest degrees that also pay really well. For some reason, this is a topic

that has been requested over and over and over again. I've never gotten around to doing it on the

channel, but today is the day we are going to do it. Now, I want to make one thing clear in this video

First of all, I'm not saying that you should go for an easy degree. You should take into account

how difficult a degree is, but it's not one of the most important things. If you really enjoy

something, you really like it and it's the degree that you want to go for, don't be afraid. You can do

it. It's going to take a lot of hard work, a lot of dedication, but at the end of the day, you can

rise to the occasion and get the job done. Another thing I want to mention is a lot of the times

people get really competitive and they get a little bit angry if you say that their degree is going

to be easier than another person's degree. But let's be realistic here, guys. Everybody has

their own strengths and their own weaknesses. For instance, one of the hardest classes I ever took

was an English class. It was like an advanced English class. And I wrote what I thought was a really

good paper and I ended up getting a C on it. The highest grade that the professor gave anybody in the

class for the first revision of that paper was a B. So I was actually one of the better paper writers in

the class, even though I only got a C. So I totally understand everybody is going to have their

strengths and their weaknesses and all that sort of thing. But realistically speaking, there is an objective

way to evaluate these degrees to see how difficult they are. You can look at things like drop out

rate for instance. Now that doesn't tell the whole story because, you know, someone could drop out

of a degree because they think it's boring or they think it's just really tedious. It's not necessarily

how difficult the degree is. But the thing I'm going to use to evaluate how difficult these degrees are

just to keep things simple is how much time you spend every single week studying. So without further ado

let's jump right into it. First one on the list is going to be marketing. Now, according to the

tab people who graduate with a marketing degree spent on average about 12 hours per week studying And to put that into perspective the degree where you spent the most time studying was actually architecture at 22 hours per week And then the one that you spend the least time studying is parks recreation and leisure studies which is about 11 hours a week And

with a marketing degree, you can expect to make around $49,000 a year starting off and $91,000

in mid-career pay. So you're going to notice there's a lot of business-related degrees on this list

and that's something that I've said many times on this channel. Just because business-related

degrees tend to be a little bit easier doesn't necessarily mean that they're bad choices

Now, one thing I'll mention here is I think when it comes to business degrees, they kind of are

what you make of them. So if you want to be the type of student who doesn't really, you know

try all that much, you're probably not going to get very much out of your business degree

But if you're someone who really applies themselves, you know, you talk to the professors, you really go out of your way to learn the concepts, you'll probably get a lot more out of it

Next one on the list is going to be another business degree and that's supply chain. management. They study around 13.48 hours every single week and you can expect to make around $59,000 a

year starting out and 95,000 in mid-career pay. So yeah, another really good one. Supply chain management is one of

those things that's extremely important, especially in the modern age. Being able to get a product from

point A to point B from the factory to the consumer in an extremely efficient way is incredibly

important. Next one on the list is going to be finance and they study around 13.78 hours

per week. With this degree, you would expect to make around $56,000 a year starting out and $99,800 in mid-career pay

Now with this one, depending on the school you go to, there's probably going to be more or less

mathematics involved. The ones that are a little more math intensive, you're probably going to be

studying more. But yeah, another really solid option, especially if you're someone who is, you know

very A-type personality, extremely competitive, and you want to go for those really high-paying jobs

finance can be fantastic. Next one on the list is going to be international business and you're going

to be studying about 13 hours per week With this degree you can expect to make around a year starting out and in mid pay This is one of those degrees that in my opinion is kind of a dark horse candidate I think when I did my business degree tier list I put this one in B tier

It could be one that could potentially be like A tier or even S-tier in the future

Business is getting more and more international. And I think especially if you're somebody who really wants to travel or maybe if you are

someone who wants to live in a foreign country and you speak, you know, that country's language

and you understand their culture, this could be a fantastic option for you, but it does require

a little bit of planning ahead. Next on the list, we're going to change it up a little bit. It's going to be

a technology-related degree, and that's going to be information technology. They study around 14 hours

per week. You can expect to make around $56,000 a year starting out and $93,000 in mid-career pay

So one thing about information technology, getting the degree definitely isn't a scam by any means. I think it's a

fantastic degree to get. However, depending on what career you're going for, there's probably going to

be some alternative options that are just as good, if not better. So a lot of the time, you can actually

just get a certification or go to some type of training program and get your foot in the door when

it comes to IT. And then instead of going to school for four years, you can actually be working and

getting paid for those four years, probably a little bit less than you would have right off the bat

you know, after you graduated. But by the time those four years come around, you're going to

going to be making just as much, if not more, as somebody who graduated with an IT degree

So this is relatively common with a lot of different technology-related jobs, where they judge

you more on what you can do and what you can demonstrate, right, the skills that you can

demonstrate than your credentials, like whether you have a degree or not. But still, really

solid option overall. Not too difficult, especially if you're someone who's already really tech-savvy

This is just going to be a walk in the park for you. Next one on the list is going to be economics

and this one is going to be about 14.7 hours per week

Now with an economics degree, you can expect to make around $58,000 a year

starting out and in mid pay This is going to be another one that depending on what school you go to and the program that you enrolled in there going to be more or less mathematics involved in it

And if you're in a more math-intensive program, there's probably going to be a lot more studying

But with that being said, economics can be a fantastic degree to get

Can be a little bit difficult to get your foot in the door, get that first job right after graduating

college. But once you do get a few years of experience, you're going to be good to go

next one on the list is going to be accounting at about 14.7 hours of studying per week

This is probably going to be the most difficult one on the list, but 14.7 hours is still manageable

And for that, you're going to make around $51,000 a year starting out and $88,000 in mid-career pay

Accounting is one of the most solid careers out there, so many different options for you to work in accounting

There's just so many different career paths you can go down. So if you don't like whatever career path you go down right away, there's just a lot of

so many different avenues and routes that you can go down because it's an extremely flexible

degree. So yeah, these are some of the majors that are relatively easy, not too difficult

and they still pay really well. Now, I just want to reiterate here, I understand everybody has

their own strengths, all their own weaknesses, you know, everything is subjective. I totally

understand that. You know, for one person doing like an art major might be extremely difficult

because they're just not artistic. They're not really interested in that at all. But it very

clearly shows if you're spending like you know 22 hours a week studying versus 11 hours a week

studying one of them is going to you know all things being equal is going to be much more difficult than

the other and i can say from my own personal experience i lived in a scholarship hall with like 50 guys

and uh you know the engineers were studying a lot okay they were studying all the time and the business

majors were partying all the time okay that's just my experience but with that being said check
