After this semester I will be finished with a 2 year Liberal Arts Degree. I will have all the required courses plus calculus and a couple sciences. I have a 3.5 cumulative gpa. I would like to mainly start a career at 75,000 dollars or more. What should I go into? I'd like to be a doctor, engineer, or a lawyer. Just anything that starts me at a very high salary. Any Advice or recommendations? I forgot to mention I will be fluent in Spanish in 2 more semesters and would like to put it to use.

The chances of getting a $75,000 a year job with anything less than a Bachelors Degree is very slim. Becoming a doctor or lawyer will require at least 4 more years of school (a Juris Doctorate to become a lawyer is a 2 1/2 year program in most cases, and requires a Bachelors), I am not sure how long medical school is but I believe it is longer than 2 1/2 years. Your best bet is to continue and get a Bachelors degree and quit focusing on money and do what you enjoy doing. What good is money if you are miserable doing the job you are doing, it won't give you happiness or satisfaction. Good luck!

i'm in college now, and for an associate's degree you may finished 60 credit hours. This incorporates you common coaching, that's like your math, technological understanding, etc. Then, counting on what your significant is, take further decrease point classes in direction of that significant. the traditional class is approximately 3 credit hours. technological understanding classes, which you will maximum possibly be taking the main of, are in many situations 3 credit for the path, and one million for the lab. the traditional load of classes for a semester devoid of over doing it extremely is approximately 4 or 5. maximum possibly, in case you do nicely, you are going to be executed in a pair of twelve months and a one million/2. wish that helps. :)

im assuming your going for your bachelors degree, look into a semester/year abroad in a spanish speaking country. If you want your career to involve spanish there is always teaching, international business, international relations, politics, translating... I would suggest seeing your advisor or career center, most schools have free evaluations you can take to help you find the right field/major for you. Thats what i did and it worked out great.

Go to the college counseling center and ask to take any vocational tests that they offer. Develop a relationship with the staff there and ask for their advice. That's what they're there for. (four--there/their/they're/there in a row!!)
But seriously, you have to find out what you are able to do, as well as what you're interested in doing before you know what training you'll need. And, you need to find out what jobs are going to be out there for you to do in future years.
We all have to go through the process of finding out what it is we want to and can do. There's an expectation sometimes that we "should" know much sooner than most of us actually do. It's not reasonable to expect somebody who's 18 or 20 to know exactly what he/she will be doing at 30 or 40.
Study what you like, and you'll get there and enjoy what you're doing. Have faith in yourself; ask lots of questions; do your "homework" about careers; and be persistent. Don't quit.

Continue with school! Look for something you would enjoy! Think about what your favorite class or topic in a class was so far!
