Petrol sounds like a golden egg, but those jobs are very volatile.
no doubt. you can plot the industry's mass job cuts with the NYMEX price chart.
i thought i thunk you were in accounting
My 2 UGs are on there.
Don't be one of those s that went to school for 2-3 years and want a break to never go back again. Do what you gotta do now, play later.
Honestly I call bull on a lot of that list, though.
I've always felt like the national averages were skewed every year.
One website lists the top 10 tiest degrees and some of those are listed relatively high on that chart.
I know some of them are fairly accurate. Some parts of the nation just pay out the ass, and some just bend you over.
I'm sure the national average for some of those is high, but thee's also probably like 2 openings a year. Petro Engineering is consistently at the top of lists when I look, though.
I think it's one of those jobs where you have to make a name for yourself and be willing to live off the coast of Africa or Alaska for a few years to do it, otherwise you are headcount.
Wow... To think... Being a Parts Changer pays the same as a Civil Engineer by that chart!
I don't see Climatologist, or Meteorologist.
I'm glad I was a chemistry major. Just look at bottom half of that list.
You earn what you work your ass off for.
the only way of gettin money is if you work for the big banks and big firms, other then that pushin papers in the office for low pay is horse , might as well stay home go on welfare...
its even fckd up when theres an oversupply of grads, who will do anything for their first job and lower the payscale, hence some ppl work for all....
have you heard of cloud accounting?
No. Being a parts changer means at the end of the day you're an idiot and you misread charts.
mmm no wonder I make so much dough I mean compared to other . I still don't make nearly enough
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
You have to get a grad degree to make any kind of money.
yes. 35,000-44,000 tops. Sign me up.
I call bull on Management Info Systems. Most places want you to work basically call centers before anything else which pays .
Unless things have changed in the last 7 years or so. I woulda done backflips for an intro job in Management Info Systems paying 50k or even 40k when I graduated back in 2002.
Interesting. Not bad.
Double major in finance and accounting with a minor in mathematics. I think I'll do alright. Shoulda just double majored in math and finance since I'm already pretty bored with accounting.
lol "high paying" undergrad degrees
Question:
Do people actually go into a major solely because of the money they should make or because it's something they want/love to do?
