electrical engineering vs actuary
Wondering what career I should do mostly for financial gain (and which is more attainable/stable because it doesn't matter which makes more if the other is significantly harder to get or just replaced by AI).

Holy moly Batman
These are like the two worst careers in America
All EE work is in Shenzen, unless you want to work at intel
dude what careers are better than them that doesnt require a very high quality school
Sales, marketing, Deloitte, software engineering, emergency room doctor, dentist , Human Resources , police officer
Commission based, pays shit, actuary, and EE has consulting jobs, needs a target school and multiple internships by how competitive it is, hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt and I would have like 7 years of experience before I become a doctor if I picked these careers, debt to pay is horrible compared to being a medical doctor, pays shit, pays shit and you need to risk your life everyday.
Why do strangers on the internet come ask questions then argue with the answers
My god. I was an EE. Don’t do EE.
I'm asking questions, but I'm not a dumbass, I know basic information. Saying being a police officer is a better job than an actuary is very laughable.
