I am almost done with community college and need to pick a major. Of course I am also going to university to "learn" and not JUST to pick something because it pays well, but in the end I would prefer to combine the two and pick something that is "usable" in the real world.
Also, this is my back up plan in case something goes wrong. I know the highest paying majors are chemical engineering and computer engineering
http://money.cnn.com/2004/09/21/pf/c...ting_salaries/ but I don't have strong math and science skills at all so unfortunately this is not an option for me. Neither is dentistry, med school or pharmacy because of too much emphasis on science and I have difficulty in chemistry and science. I am probably more stronger in English and writing.
I am not interested in degrees in arts or humanities because there is not too much you can do with them. I want a degree with a decent earning potential STARTING at least 50-60k but even that seems kind of low already and not really worth it.
Any lower than that just does not make sense with to me because I can make more just being a lazy ass and submitting galleries. So sometimes I do wonder if there is a point in getting a degree since starting salaries are so low. But I feel like I want to do something a bit more worthwhile....
Are there any other majors the cnn article left out that are "high paying" preferably with not too much math involved? I also like Broadcast Journalism and am thinking of the program at usc.
