>>3671225Welding is a labor job. You make decent money but it's going to repetitive stress you out of work eventually. Engineering is a joke too tbh, engineers usually wind up training their replacements, though the field is so huge there's probably good engineer careers and terrible ones.
Now archaeology… basically the same as marine biology, advanced summer camp for rich kids and professor's wives. I'd argue it doesn't teach much that's going to be useful in life, and it's not a hard science so very little math or anything else unless you're a specialist, in which case you'll have a degree in that specialty. I'd rather waste my time as an anthropologist/ethnographer or something.
And those are loads better than the other pointless degrees out there.
If you want a good choice I'd agree psychology is a) useful (any degree which gives you a step up in understanding either yourself or the world around you in a specific way and not just as some publish or perish professor's keyword based 'framework' is useful imo) and b) lucrative and easy to find work. Any human services job.
Coding of any sort though is probably the most valuable thing you can go to school for or learn yourself.
