Btw, just to answer the OP's question since I think that has been neglected, there is no degree that offers a better ROI than Finance.

My rationale being that you don't have to study as hard as your medicine/law/dentistry/engineering folks and yet have the (potential) and very real possibility of getting a FO job or an MAP.

Your starting pay at the 80th percentile is roughly 5k as a fresh graduate. Easily. Top 20% of cohort is achievable.

Medicine is insanely hard and you will burn out unless you're dedicated and love the job. Law has now become lawl. You're paid peanuts, literally chump change from the fees of any M&A deal and you still work like a dog. I suspect mortgage specialists earn more. Accountancy i.e. big 4 is the most overhyped crap ever. Never do big 4 if you wanna earn big bucks, never. Engineering might actually be ok if you love it. The starting salaries of some of my friends at places like Grab or other niche software places is 5-6k. But that's software related... so I wager that's ok. Just make sure to stay steer of the funny, funny mechanical/bioscience blah blah nonsense.

That's about it for all.
