What are some bachelor degrees, which pays atleast $100,000 a year, about 4 years after graduating?

Question

like interior designing, or landscape architecting, or what...even if you have to go for six years of schooling to get paid that much, what would be a good career?

Answer 1

You really should never pick a job solely based on money.
You're going to be doing this job (if all goes well) for the rest of your life. I don't think you understand this, imagine from now on, all the free time you get is the weekends, and the few weeks a year they give you of vacation. It probably means little to you now.

Anyway, pick something you're going to enjoy above all else. Something you enjoy will also naturally be something that you excel at, and are able to do well, so you can one day become a master of your field and realize your full potential. This will make you rich emotionally and is far superior to having a seven-figure income.

That being said, I ordered some engineering majors in order of what I believe to be approximate salaries:
1. Biotech Engineer
2. Chemical Engineer
3. Aeronautical Engineer
4. Electrical Engineer
5. Materials Engineer
6. Computer Engineer
7. Mechanical Engineer
8. Civil Engineer

The problem with picking a career where you know people make good money is that NOT everyone makes good money; for instance, the entertainment industry, actors/athletes/etc. Another example is the business industry, while CEOs and major execs make HUGE money in stock options, its not necessarily something you should go for because there are so many business majors that are unable to climb the ladder based not on ability, but on a lack of demand.

If all you care about doing is making money, and you don't give a **** about learning anything useful, then maybe a tradeschool would be good. Dental assistants/massage therapists/etc. make decent money.


What exactly do you need $100,000 a year for?? Don't you realize that cost of living makes a huge difference on how much $$ u make and how much $$ u need? For instance, making $90,000 in the middle of Ohio is better than making $120,000 living in the middle of San Francisco. You have more disposable income because you don't have to pay so much for housing.

Choose something you have a passion for. If you don't have any passions other than making money, then you will fail. That, I assure you. Find a passion.

Answer 2

anything in the financial industry.
e.g. Bachelor of Commerce/Business (Finance, Financial planning, Finance and Accounting)
B. Science (Actuarial science)

some of the mining industries
e.g. B. Engineering (chemical Engineering)

the logistic industry
B. Commerce/business? (logistic and transportation studies?)

Networking with CISCO (computing studies)
e.g. B. Technology (network engineering)

A lawyer specialising in commercial law (4-5 years for a general law degree)

B. Medicine . B. Surgery
Dentistry pays alot. more than your GP.(5 or 6 years for a general degree). an Oral surgeon gets paid at least 200,000
England has a huge shortage of dentists and so does many parts of the world.

A specialists medical doctor gets paid alot too. i think a GP does gets paid $100,000 after four years of experience

A vet who looks after domestic animals or a famous racing horse will earn that much.

all design courses pay sh!t unless you are famous or have developed a good reputation. Very few designers earn big bucks but if it's your passion, go for it but have a back up profession just in case.

Try looking at this website. it's excellent.

AS one of the poster mentioned passion is what drives you. choose a career that you are passionate about. That you can talk about 24/7 if you were stuck on an island then the big $$$$ will follow. the more a company pays you the more dedication and time they expect from you, so you have to make a lot sacrifices so doing a job that you are not passionate about will make you want to jump off the tallest building.

Also think about this, the more you earn, the more you will spend.

Answer 3

Bachelors degrees don't pay you. The company that hires pays you. They're not going to give you a salary based on what degree you have or how many years ago you finished school, but rather how good you are at what you do. You're not going to make 100k a year at anything unless you're good at it, and can find a job.

As for what fields to go into, finance pays pretty well if you're reasonably good at it. I worked in a biology lab over the summer, but the guys who lived across the hall from some of the other girls in my program were working at some investment banking firm and were supposedly getting payed something like $30 an hour just as undergraduate summer interns. So I'm thinking they pay their more experienced people pretty darn well. You have to work a lot of hours though.

Answer 4

That's like asking what everyone makes. Because most people in school won't know what they're making in the future. And those that are working will only tell you if they are making 100, 000. Which I haven't seen an answer to yet.

but I will give you a hint as to a good career choice:

B. Sci in Electrical Engineering WITH an MBA

Why?

Do some research.
9/10 people with that combination are making high 6 figures, low 7-8 figures. Not bad for doing somethign you like.

Now, guess what I'm doing? har har

Answer 5

Very few jobs will make you that kind of money within four years.

A degree in Finance from a top undergraduate business program like Wharton, MIT or Berkeley could do it for you.

Interior design and landscape architecture? Good one. Don't expect to make much money from either field unless you inherit the business from your parents.

Several graduate degrees will let you make that kind of money right out of school. A degree from a top MBA program, top Law School or any Medical School will land you a six figure salary right away.

Answer 6

intead of waiting to have so many years for expirience ....start working on a master's degree; any career can give you money, but the important thing is that you are happy doing what you decided; because money is not happiness and imagine working 30 yrs in something that you dont like.....good luck

Answer 7

I noticed an oil and gas major at Colorado School of Mines which starts out in the 60s. This school is a state school and is cheap to attend!

By the way, salaries.com doesn't lead to anything, try salary.com.

Answer 8

Email me, I'll give you the lowdown on it. (With Interior Design, you can make $100,000 on 1 job, if you are reallly talented and in the right place.)

Answer 9

CMA- Certified Managerial Accountants start out at $64,000

Answer 10

Philosophy, English Lit, anything liberal arts.
