| Or starting one! Decided to finish college degree and quit working for lousy pay and ungrateful assholes. I dropped out of college at the end of my sophomore year. I majored in Applied Physics. Contemplating a change of majors to electrical or mechanical engineering or something totally different, English. I see tons of job listings for engineers of al sorts for pretty reputable companies. So back to school I go starting this summer. Need some advice for a career track to pursue. Not looking to get rich but want to make a good living with security. Basicall honest wages for honest work. What say you? |
| I'm in a similar boat. I'm 32, and finally going to school full time to learn something new. The pay wasn't bad at my last job, but I was pretty much topped out for the industry. the pricks I worked for showed their true colors too often, too. I'm hoping to find a job where I can have a future and feel appreciated. |

Basicall honest wages for honest work. What say you? Well..first I would say...don't be a lawyer. Unless you want to be a teacher or military officer...avoid the English degree. If you want true job security...get a nursing degree. If you want relative job security...get a healthcare administration degree. Other than that...I can't say much. I got a degree in Chemistry. I'm never ever ever gonna be a professional chemist. The only reason I went to college is because the job I wanted required the degree as a prerequisite. |
