I want to do philosophy and math but realistically, Id probably be shit at them or math at least and they dont seem helpful at all to becoming a state trooper. So what degrees are best and why?
What degree is best for NYSP?

Have you searched the sub at all before asking? This topic is discussed nearly daily.
A degree doesn’t have to be applicable to police work.
STEM degrees are perfectly fine.
What do you want to do in the NYSP? Are you thinking of becoming a collision reconstructionist? A background in math can help. Do you want to end up in computer crimes? IT/IS will help. Do you want to be a physical specimen and go for DT or SORT? The degree will matter less and tactics and physicality will matter more. Do you want to instruct? A degree in education or theatre will help. Bottom line is, your police career can and will be whatever you make of it. Pick a direction and go.
