I'm just about to start college. But I'm in a huge dilemma on what to do or start with. People just say different things. I like to work hard at things but I'm just really low on math. I want something that requires thinking but nothing that needs math. I would be shooting for a yearly salary income of $60,000-$150,000 a year. I love social work and management. I'm also genuinely interested in business and health care management. So I post this question to people with past experience or anyone educated in this matter. Give me any advice of careers that don't require more than six years of studying and don't require a lot of thinking as well. I'm willing to study something up to 8 years, as long as it's not too hard and doesn't require 24hrs of studying. Awaiting your replies fellows. Have an awesome day/Night.

If you are looking for a starting salary in the 60-150K range your only hope is an MBA in business (some math is required but not as much as Engineering or Computer Science and not as hard as the other sciences or medicine). Social work you would not make that for quite some time even with an MSW (you might get 60 if you did a joint MSW and something else (e.g. health, law) and you were focused on policy or research end.

To clarify I think you want to do something challenging but not math-based, and probably not a pure science. It sounds like you don't mind "thinking" but want to avoid the kind of classes that require intensive studying like memorization. This means that medical school and nursing are not the way to go. Check with your school's career center - there is usually an aptitude test that can help you. I would defintiely think that business or health care administration could be what you're looking for, but it would be worth discussing with a career counselor.

Marketing and sales, and management would help you in that area - you Will be exposed to math (no decent paying job doesn't have math aspect) however in these fields the math is practical and very applied - as you have a wide range of interested and need flexibility shoot for a BBA program - which will help you have more flexible marketable skills that will put you on the earning's train much faster - in getting to the desired pay bracket
