Best four year degree that can tie into affiliate marketing

Mathematics - you will lean a lot, and be unemployable - so you have to make bank at your own business. It worked for me.
Honestly, I don't think there is a perfect fit. If you plan on being an in the trenches / do the work kind of affiliate, I think CS / Math with CS + creative writting etc. can be helpful.
Long term, if your goal is to build a business, then accept that your are in the Talent management / team leadership business. A business degree can help with that, as well as teaching you the ins and outs of writting business plans, raising money, etc.
Maybe a business degree with a minor in CS or CS degree with a minor in business - that way you get some basic skills in key areas, and you meet Tech wizards who will make tommorrows billion dollar products.

math isn't unemployable. actuarial jobs, statistician jobs, quantitative finance if you combine math + econ, etc.
The academic community hasn't caught up to this industry, but many colleges and universities are starting to offer business management, marketing, and finance programs that are geared more for entrepreneurs and are hiring professors/instructors with real world experience rather than an academic only background. As someone who has worked as an academic advisor, I would strongly suggest you look into a program like that.
work out a deal where you can sell someone else's weed for a cut. Then bid as low as you can on random jackass kids to walk around and hang up your flyers.

Psychology - getting a good grasp on human behavior can help you understand why people buy and help you to get them to buy more of your stuff.
Lots of folks on here are making bank without a 4-year or even 2 year degree. I'd bet a good percentage of them are making more than you think with NO high school at all.
How dumb do you have to be to get a degree to do affiliate Marketing???
Sounds like a bit of brainwashing has taken place here...

I went to college and some grad school. The American education system is modeled after an industrial era society that no longer exists. At best, it teaches you to acquire a skill efficiently that you will then employ just hard enough to not get fired from some job you have between 9-5.
If you are really serious about doing anything, just go do it. In 2010 if you are a self-starter and autodidactic you have this freedom.
If you want to learn to be a coder you have the resources and network at your fingertips to do so for free, and likely will be far better at it given equal time and effort than if you went through a year + worth of prerequisites to get to that class on Python, Linux or Ruby. Same if you want to be a daytrader, affiliate marketer, etc.
FWIW- I've gone back and taken classes in Computer Science at a local community college. MNGT classes are bullshit and a waste of time. Comp Sci expanded my mind and helped me see opportunities I probably wouldn't have thought of before. But so far neither has ever put an extra dollar in my wallet that wouldn't have already been there.
