I would recommend statistics, physics (listed above), econ (macro economics so you can see and understand larger trends in the market place) and computer science.
If you are going for a post-grad degree look at management or operations.
I know tons of guys with only a high school education that are banking but then again I know tons of guys with college degree and/or an MBA or some type of post-grad degree that are banking too.
I would say right now that you definitely do not need any type of degree what so ever to be successful in the AM field. However as industries start to mature past their infancy stage (happening to AM now) you will start to see that the industry will start to become more regulated and more barriers of entry start to occur. Successful companies become purchased by larger public companies or private equity groups (ex. Double-Click, MediaWhiz, etc) who bring on guys as VP of Some Bullshit that do not know anything about AM but know how to run and build company. Unfortunately these guys end up making more money than 90% of the AM's out there and unless you are in the top tier of affiliate marketers good luck getting a job with one of these companies if you do not have a college degree.
While I don't necessarily agree with this I do understand it. It is pretty ironic though when you think about some of the largest/most successful companies like Microsoft or Facebook where the founders were college drop outs but good luck getting a job there without a masters degree much less a college degree.
Your success will be based on your drive, determination more than anything else. Intelligence, creativity, and some business sense will definitely help you succeed even further but your drive and work ethic will be what sets you apart.

yeah man, we don't need engineers, scientists, doctors, medical researchers or any of that shit! i mean seriously, what good has engineering or science done for us? i mean shit like the internet? who needs that? :action-smiley-052:
you're a fucking retard, in other words.
i went to college and i was a total waste of time + money,
BUT if your parents are paying for it, fucking go and get drunk for 4 years on them!

Doctors, lawyers, and accountants who run their own practices/firms are entrepreneurs, and they had to go to med/law/grad school. But by all means, keep thinking that doctors, lawyers, accountants, scientists, and engineers are either worthless or don't need to go to college to do it.
Some of you are absolute retards and it'd surprise me if you make any kind of money at all.
Was I talking to people I wanted to be my doctor and shine my shoes??
Obviously I want them in my society. I'm pretty pissed off in fact about this Problem.
That's because I recognize that I don't want to do the hard work, I'd like to take it easy and let other people do the shoe-shines.
Americans don't usually believe this, but it is a stone cold fact that everyone in the world fits into different social classes such as servants and masters. I don't want the servants to go away, trust me. Servants are goooood. I can't be a master without them.
I was giving advice to someone on WF to be a master; not another servant.
I certainly don't think they're worthless; some of them have been very good servants to me.
However, It's not as simple as calling them all entrepreneurs... A word that simply means "He Who Takes Chances." Usually a doc or lawyer won't take a chance, they follow a very well beaten path.
Read Robert Kyosaki's Cashflow Quadrant sometime; Those professions you just mentioned all fall into the same quadrant; Their upper income is limited.
They'll never, ever, EVER be billionaires unless they jump from their profession (throwing all of that training away) into becoming an investor or entrepreneur.
They are still slaves in that they must serve customers. I serve no such customer; Perhaps just Google and Ebay. But I can switch tits whenever I want and I've got a pretty good chance of becoming a billionaire just by scaling up what I do now on my own schedule... Stuff you simply cannot learn in school.
Someone forced to serve others? Hmm. Seems pretty easy to me. Ok, though; I'll bite... Let's look it up...

From Dictionary dot com:
1. a person who is the property of and wholly subject to another; a bond servant.
2. a person entirely under the domination of some influence or person: a slave to a drug.
3. a drudge: a housekeeping slave.
I was using something between #1 and #3... Sounds like like I wasn't far off.
I'm sorry, what was your point?
Hypercritical troll right here.
You don't want to be a slave yet your writing in your spare time on someone's forum to prove a point to people in a 'lower class' than you? Then you refer to those people on WF as your co workers and people that don't have resumes...
You got married as well so you believe in God? Oh no, my bad your not a slave.
If I thought anyone at WF was in a lower class than me, I'd refer them to the link I posted above and tell them to get the fuck to school!
In my offline life I have a wife who is on my level, and hundreds of people around me like store clerks and bank tellers that are clearly servants. When I go see family once every few years, I kind of think of them as masters too. But that's it.
Online it is very different, I try to only hang out in places like this where I can learn something from them... I don't want to learn from servants.
What you call 'hypercritcal' I call high standards. If you are deadset on keeping your low standards, I would suggest Digital Point or the Warrior Forum for you. They aren't so judgemental over there.
Except that a job involves trading something you're able to do, for money. You're not the property of your employer by any means, you're doing an exchange of your skill or trade for their money, it's a market.

Not free enough for me.
To those that are ok with not being able to take a day off when you want, or wear boxers to 'the office,' well, go right ahead.
But really, this issue here is ownership of large bundles of cash.
When you work for someone else, you get bread and water.
Doctors and lawyers may get Ritz crackers and wine, but the constraint is just the same: You only make enough money to live paycheck to paycheck.
When you're your own boss; You can make as much as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs do.
Both, by the way, are dropouts.
Some of us have larger aspirations than to trip balls. To reach those aspirations you must have lots and lots of money, not merely enough to just buy a nice house and a BMW.
Solving a major world problem like Hunger or smallpox takes billions, and if you want to do that yourself, step one is to start your own business.
Yeah can't cure smallpox without the scientist to figure out the cure itself. Life isn't south park, you can't just inject cash to cure diseases. Throwing money at problems doesn't fix them. All the money being thrown at world hunger, why isn't it solved?
Oh please. We've been over this. Scientists are great employees that I encourage you to hire if needed.
Who the fuck do you think pays Scientists? The smallpox they're studying?
If an master/boss/entrepreneur doesn't do it, Scientists sadly have this predisposition of starving to death before anything gets solved.
It's a big fucking problem, that's why.
It takes more than money, sure, but it takes shitloads and shitloads of money, or there's no chance it will happen at all.
Government bribing money, warlord fighting money, food buying money, all kinds of money never even attempted to be spent before.
About 2 Trillion outght to do it. Sadly, no one has ever been in command of 2 trillion before.
No single scientist will ever be... But if you build a very profitable business and one day you might be. Then you can afford to hire the best scientists for the job.
You've obviously never been around anyone in science...ever. Most scientific funding comes from governments nowadays anyway. Some of the best scientists of all time made some of the greatest discoveries without any kind of funding from business or government.
Nahh there's bigger reasons behind world hunger than just money. You're a fool if you think the monetary system itself isn't part of the problem (or you just don't know shit about money itself).
1. Governments=Masters
2. Scientists discover. It's part of the job. It doesn't make them masters. I kind of respect them for that; they have a drive to discover truth. Good on them. They'll need a shitload of money to cure smallpox though... Ain't gonna happen independently.
This is getting into total strawman territory now but I'll remind you what I said above: 1 trillion (or more to solve world hunger) will be needed to bribe governments, lay down warlords, and for world hunger you'll need to spend a good trillion on Education alone. Yeah, it's a monetary system thing, no one is arguing that. Of course government COULD be bought... Especially those shitty ones where the hunger is at its' worst.
The cheapest & best way I've heard of to solve world hunger is to give every child a laptop and then to follow up by giving a bullet to the head of everyone trying to take it from them. (Which so far has been a lot of people!)
Of course that last part is cost prohibitive and could of course be used in questionable ways... So they're still working on that little hiccup.
To be perfectly clear; I dont' want to cure smallpox nor world hunger. Those are both forces of nature working FOR me. The overpopulation on this planet and the lack of standards here astounds me. We need more things killing off people with low standards, not fewer.
Governments which are made up largely of college-educated people, many with graduate degrees.
Over the course of history, the predominance of science wasn't funded by business or government, it was self done. Pythagoras, Newton, etc. Tesla wasn't funded until after his discoveries. James Watt funded himself. Rudolf Diesel funded himself.
This isn't as black and white as you want it to be. But if that's all your simple brain can understand, then you'll forever be a servant to people smarter than you and just not realize it.
