<p>The original question had to do with what career made the most money with a Liberal Arts degree compared to Engineering.</p>
<p>I've got to believe that it has to be sales. Many salespeople make 6 figures in the high tech industry and elsewhere. Heck even real estate sales pays in that range for the most successful. I know of some of the most successful salespeople making $200k+ which is way more than even their managers make.</p>
<p>That said, it's a risk/reward job as many people aren't good at it. It does have a ton of fringe benefits like travel, flexible work hours and the potential to work from home.</p>
<p>I've been in sales for 20 years - hate the job lately but it pays too much to quit. Should be able to retire in early 50's though and do something fun.</p>
