College Majors?

[RaekwonThaChef]

My Dreams of Being a CHEF were SHATTERED! When i got a last moment acceptance into CSU ( Colorado State University )

I was wondering which majors are the most profitable?


Im not going to choose my major based on the money that can be made otherwise id just be a doctor. I just wanna know which ones make the most to see if any i feel i will like are up on the list. Im not picky i can pretty much do anything and everything and enjoy it

If you don't mind working for the government engineering is a great and well paying field. It's what my major will be in.

lawyers with a good firm can make 70k right off the bat, if you become a partner you can make 100k or more. But lawyers have a lot of work hours.

Professors make a lot of money, find something you love to do get a masters and/or a doctrine, become a instructor 10 years down the line you become a professor and bam 65- 70+ a year.

if you love to sit and make lots of money building and/or designing stuff engineering is the way to go imho...but you had better be darn good at math


i was going to college for electrical engineering but i just can not stand sitting for so long(i cant even play video games for two hours with out a break) so i went for criminal justice...my hope is to be be in corporate loss prevention...you make good darn good money but not what you can make in engineering




edit: and remember that as you make more money...your free time usually goes down

Being a doctor (many friends) or a lawyer (my sister) will make you some dough but it's a hard path and very long hours. IF you have the right skills you can be an author (my younger brother) and make some nice dough without needing a ton of education (as compared to a doctor).

But if you really want to make money you have to work money so I would look at being an investment banker of some type (hedge funds baby!).

Im going for Criminal Justice. Not the best one if you want to make lots of money haha

I am going for a Nursing degree and later going back to get a masters in a field I enjoy.

Well... I can tell you what WON'T make you tons of money:

A bachelor's in biology. Or even a master's won't make you the $70k+ that engineers can make straight out of school.

But I couldn't have majored in much of anything else, so...
