Thread: What Major? What Job?

    Hey guys i'm probably going to finish up my general education at OCC this semester and want to pick a major that i can put all my effort into and get a good job. I just finished watching my mom go back to school for medical transcriptioning because she knew she was going to be let go from her job of 25 years. She worked hard in school and got good grades in all her classes and is starting her own business "medical transcriptioning" but she works from 8am to 1am with little to no breaks and only makes about 1500 a month "a substantial cut from what she used to." She works so hard and makes so little money. Basically my question is what major should i pick to get into a good job "6 figures in the future" and what would the job be. I look to you guys because boating itself is a luxury and you have made correct choices in the past as far as jobs and savings to get where you are now.
    Thanks alot guys,
    David

    It sucks being up there in years and losing your job.
    My dad worked for NORDSKOG for 30 years and made really good money. When Bob died they sold the business. My dad was the only one, who was asked to stay with the new owners and keep his pay. He had to move to FLODIA to do this. He quit.
    It all depends on your talent.
    The only people I see making alot of money with no education or little education are cops, firemen and city trash men. Even laywers are starting at 60K which sucks for having spent 8 years in college.......
    Also The docks just opened up., THEY MAKE A KILLING

    Accounting, no real need for a graduate degree, just the cert (CPA) and can start in the mid to high 5's and work your way up quick, tack on an MBA and start climbing the ladder. Wouldn't take long to get to 6 figs...
