go with what you love if you're smart you'll be able to make plenty of money regardless of what you majored in. a degree is there to guide you not dictate your future.

Money can't buy happiness, but it will decrease your stress levels which will make you live longer.
Sup ya'll. i'm a hs senior and i'm gonna go to college next year. at first i was gonna major in journalism b/c its what i wanna do but then i found out they don't make too much bread. i found my microeconomics class real interesting so im thinking about majoring in the econ field and hopefully have a better chance of getting a decent job that pays well. ya'll recommend any other majors where the job market for someone with a degree in that field is lookin good?

good initiative trying to figure out what you want to do.
^ Accounting degree is always a good look. But having a degree =/= landing at a big 4 and working your *** off to jump to a 6 figure industry position after 5 years.
I would just say be careful making decisions based on money. Your young, but hopefully you will learn there is alot more to a career/workplace than just the salary
If you choose your career path just because of the money, you may have a miserable life.:x. This may sound cliche, but Money cant buy you happiness.
Guess who has an engineering and business admin degree?I'll make it super simple OP...
Science degrees start you off at the highest salary ...
But business degrees have the HIGHEST CEILING ...

^pretty much. When you're swimming in debt, because of school (somewhat likely), you gotta be ready to pay them off. The prices of school isn't getting any lower.Money can't buy you happiness, but being broke can't buy you anything.If you choose your career path just because of the money, you may have a miserable life..

I'm not a business management major but I always said that degree will always get you some type of JOB. Might not be a career move but you can get a non technical job with any company to with it and that makes a diff when times are hard compared something like psychology. Get a job at GameStop or footlocker but at least you can realistically move up into corporate for those companies with that degree and then have sky be the limit opposed to working at the same jobs with an art degree where people might give you strange looks when you try to go next level unless you been with the company OD years.
Business management degrees are trash. Most undergrad programs are too broad and don't focus on any specific area that'll give you necessary job skills companies are looking for. They also typically have the lowest percentage of employed students come graduation compared to other business majors.
If you're going to be in the business school either do Accounting, Finance, or Computer Information Systems.
Trust me when I say this, I have a business management degree, I wish I could go back and change it to something else.
^ Exactly. I have a Business Administration and Industrial Engineering Degree, Concentrating in Operations and Supply Chain Management. It's crazy with the possibilities. I've worked in Pharmaceuticals, Web Development, Software Deployment, and now I'm working in the Aerospace industry.Supply Chain Management.
yo let me get a little info on that^ Exactly. I have a Business Administration and Industrial Engineering Degree, Concentrating in Operations and Supply Chain Management.

Operations and Supply Chain is needed by every industry no matter what, and to be honest, is somewhat difficult to outsource.
If you're interested in it, let me know, I'll try to give more examples/reason why I think I made the right decision!

what do you do exactly
Im in your position and I decided on nursing. 3-4 Working days a week. 65-75k starting salary (Not to sure about this, just from basic google search and word of mouth). Hopefully it works out. Interested in the above post about Air Traffic Control. Would love to work in O'Hare and get some free/discounted flights and see the world. Plus airports fascinate me.

Anyone can feel free to correct me, but to be honest with you, it's probably tougher. My rationale is that although there are more jobs in general for people w/o a college education compared to people w a college degree. The supply of people who can potentially fill the jobs not requiring a degree is much greater.How hard is the job market for those who elected not to go the college route?
