[Discussion] Which major is best

[HENI]

I have decided to settle for a two year college degree because I cannot figure out my passion or what I really want to do with my life . However I do need to make money to get my own place to get my own new car and to have a stable life .
Which major do you think is best based on pay and conditions but mostly conditions

NURSING
MEDICAL ASSISTING
HUMAN SERVICES
BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
OFFICE ADMINISTRATION (BUSINESS PATH OR MEDICAL PATH)
WELDING
HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT
CRIMINAL JUSTICE

You contradict yourself at two instances. At one time, you want to do something you have passion for. At another time, you want to do something financially beneficial. Unless the following majors you listed, which you don't have passion for, then you're not going to succeed. Anyway, I'll give you an honest answer.

If it comes to financial happiness, you can forget about it. Let's say you got employed at a well paying job of $100,000 per year; you'll have to pay 28% income tax, which will leave you with $28,000. This is just income tax; nothing is mentioned on living expenses, which will vary depending what state you live and budget and so on. The only thing that's going to make you good money, is Business Administration and that is only if you're working in a big company, with senior position.

So, you should drop that thought.

Not financial happiness, I want financial stability.

I think the dimension you consider is what you like, what offers pay you would be satisfied with and time and work your willing to put in to get it. Medical profession good for pay if you don't want to do the time possibly consider nursing, but it comes down to what your willing to do

Do you have ideas if interested in let's medicine or business

 

[~Ethereal~]

Medicine right at the top, Dentistry, Law and Engineering(especially Mechanical) are the most prestigious.

 

[Chihaya]

I'd say Criminal Justice maybe or something to do with Medical Care. Any field really. Therpaist, Doctor, Nurse.
I'm not too sure. Just do what interests you, that would be the best thing to do. And then work part time or full time outside of school

 

[Cruciatus]

Healthcare management is hard work. Lots of paperwork and people *****ing to you about their problems all day. If you're managing childish ass employees, your work life becomes hell.

Nursing is an interesting choice. With a two year degree, you can become an ultrasound tech. It's also hard work, but it can be rewarding. Not to mention medical and dental coverage. Plus, there's a national nursing shortage, so you'll basically be guaranteed a job : )

Business path lets me work in any office and medical path lets me work only in medical offices

What is your level of schooling

 

[HashiraMadara]

In business you're the highest paid person in the world depending on your business...

In SA, the highest stable career payment is for Actuarial Scientist...

But as I said, a private doctor here banks up to $1500(sometimes corruptly)
