I will be graduating soon and was wondering what college degree to get that will enable you to have a job with at least 60,000 to 80,000 dollars a year. Maybe in the Technical or Engineering field?

I wanted to get a Bachelors degree then a masters later on but you probably have to go 8 years if your in the health care fields. I don't know what my "passions" are any more. For the longest time I wanted to be in the Game Industry but then I wasn't sure so I took a couple of tests and it said things that I didn't like so I just don't care anymore I just want to work hard and get a good job that pays good.

Anything in the advance health care fields would be best for now and the far future

This isn't what you asked but I've spent many years in HR. What are your passions and what do you do best? Money is very important but you will not go far if you are not in your area of expertise and love. What are your strengths and what degree did you earn, we can go from there.

To go into a field of study just to make the money might make you happy for the short term. But you will soon tire of it, burn out, feel trapped by your choices. Ballengerb1 is right when he asks what your passions are. But you say you do not know anymore.

My advice is to either take some time off before going to college and work full time. Or you can attend college and get those basic requirements out of the way before committing to a major.

Have you done other employment testing? What were some of the results, other then the gaming one you mentioned? What health field are you interested in? Yes the Bachelor's degree takes 4 years, generally speaking, but the Master's does not take an additional 4 years. Most likely 2 additional years, depending on if you are going full time.

Good luck in making a decision best for you.

Jenna:

You have the right attitude. Work hard and get an education.

I'm assuming that you mean graduating from high school. If you don't know what to do for the rest of your life or don't have a particular passion at this point, it only means that you should explore and be open to all opportunitys and possibilities. Find a mentor in a particular field that has a passion for that field, and ask him or her every question you can think of.

Don't let any one person or test convince you of what you can and cannot do.

There is no guarantee of a high paying job, but remember that those who give it 110% in what they do [ as a student or working etc.] are successful.

Do you want to wake up one morning deep in debt ( as most americas do) and 40 years old, so you owe too much money to start over again, and figure out you are stuck in a job you don't like, and will be for the next 20 years.

Forget any dollar amount a year and decide what you like, really if you want somethhing in ( Game Industry) ** not sure what that is, wildlife, like a forest ranger? ** ?

But first forgot those stupid tests, they tell you based on the skills you now have, only you know what your passions are. What thing can you do, go in and do for the rest of your life and still be fun? A job should be FUN, regardless of the pay, If you want to be a rec center manager to help the youth, then do that. If y ou want to work on computers, do that.

If you want to be a plumber or welder do that. Follow your heart.
Computer Engineers are the growing industry still. But on the other hand some of the highest paid people are still the sales people, who market the products and makes the deals for all industy to be based on.
