First of all, I'm sorry if this isn't the right subreddit to ask this in, but I'm new to reddit, so don't be afraid to direct me to a subreddit that is better fit for this question.
Anyway. I'm trying to decide whether or not I should get a degree in Medical Laboratory Science (Bachelor's) or a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science (the minor in CS is because most math jobs seem like they require some coding). Ideally I would get a degree in statistics because I find that more interesting than math, but nowhere near me offers a Bachelor in statistics. My passion is linguistics, but I decided not to pursue that because I actually want to have a job when I graduate.
I think some of the pros of Medical Lab Science are:
Hands on
Easy to get a job right out of college
Good pay/stable work
Fulfilling (I would feel like I was doing something good)
Cons:
Not a ton of room for growth
Limiting in what I can do with the degree
The pros of a Math degree would be:
A lot of different job options
More room for growth
Potentially higher salary
Semi prestigious degree (hiring managers would think I was smart/had problem solving skills for having this degree... hopefully)
Cons:
Hard to get a job right out of college/hard to get my foot in the door
Less fulfilling (my job wouldn't center around helping people)
Harder course work/would probably have to fail/retake more classes
I would really love to hear from anyone who has either of these degrees. Experience, what you do now, your pay, regrets. etc. I'm in the US, if that makes a difference.
