If you want to be a millionaire, then it may help to know the subjects you should not be choosing as your college major.

Researchers analyzed educational backgrounds to discover the most popular undergraduate and postgraduate degrees among thousands of millionaires.



And while there is little surprise at the most common college majors, the results at the other end of the spectrum provide food for thought for those still weighing up their options.

At the bottom of the heap is philosophy, taken by fewer than one per cent of millionaires, reinforcing the stereotype of philosophy students as men and women of thought and not action.

Marginally ahead are psychology and biology, with marketing and history also among the least popular.


More unexpectedly, physics and chemistry are also badly represented among millionaires, belying attempts to increase the number of science undergraduates with promise of the riches to come.

Medicine is also not the subject to take if making serious money is your thing. While medics are paid well compared with the average wage, only rarely are the rewards high enough to catapult them into the ranks of the really wealthy, and even then it is more likely to be through an offshoot of their primary role as a doctor.

Researches at WealthInsight analyzed data on over 100,000 high net worth individuals (HNWIs) – those with assets of $1 million or more, excluding their primary home – to come up with the list of most popular degree courses.

Vocational subjects produced the most millionaires, and the more academic subjects the least.

The MBA topped the list, taken by 12% or around one in eight of all millionaires. From its roots as a niche qualification that marked an individual out for rapid promotion, it is now virtually compulsory for any aspiring executive.

It is true that education helps to create a path to your success but not really the main qualification for success. Success is your passion to succeed. Whether you have a great, little or no desire to propagate your ideas and goals in the direction of your dreams determines who you become in life. A doctor can make small investments in some other fields which can eventually turn out to be a great success and also other professionals can too.

Just think out of the box, the job condition here in Nigeria may not be favorable though....I hope you heard of a japanese surgeon who gave away $390k to one stranded team in Rio 2016...all this attests to what I meant.
Even life itself is just much more than money. People misuse money or spend it extravagantly without adding any value to people around them.
And also remember that Only God blesses abundantly with a purpose to have positive impacts on the blessed, others and the entire world.

Schooling is a means to an end and not the end itself. Once you understand this, you will never be content with mediocrity. And Btw, fulfillment in life is the most important thing

I have always known this to be a fact. Also heard Mathematicians and computer scientists are the most educated criminals.

Why didnt i see this in 2009?

Degree is overrated

degree is nothing

I look back and I am happy that I didnt qualify to read medicine even though I applied for it as first choice but was denied. I csnt imagine dealing with sick people all my life. On top of how much ?

I hope we mass communication students we are safe from this??

Because real doctor's are too fuçking busy to make money.
