Another "Get Out" Thread . . .

My original idea was to go into hotel-restaurant management. Looking back, I would have hated it.

 

Engineering. A major shortage, especially for those who speak English as their native language. Engineering grads from the local land-grant school always have jobs that pay very well.

 

One of two:

1) Computer science. Hell, I'm considering a return to the classroom to catch up on that anyway.

2) Engineering. Probably civil engineering.

 

told ya so.

 

I think engineering is probably something you really need to have the interest in and aptitude for the get through. Don't want slackoffs and the algebra-impaired building bridges.

With computer science you can muddle through and work just about anywhere and fake it and still give as good a service as most IT guys.

 

Meteorology..... probably not good looking enough to be Jim Cantore or Stephanie Abrams.. but it would be cool working for NOAA or the hurricane center

 

My wife's a nurse, and if I knew then what I know now (and also didn't pass out when I see blood) I'd go into nursing. It's basically the anti-journalism -- huge demand, excellent pay and benefits, flexible hours.

 

I majored in Meteorology before the Calculus and Physics got to me and I decided to change majors.

 

Nursing.

 

Strictly from a job money/security standpoint, nursing is the answer. But I never could have made it that, just no real interest.

Personally, I would have gotten a bachelor's in economics with an eye towards law school.

 

Funeral planner.

A entire demographic will want to micro-manage their final party.

 

You can do that now. All you need is a lisp, a turkey waddle and a brown suit Adolph Rupp would have been ashamed to wear.
