<p>which major have...
routine work, occasional travel, high income, and less stress?</p>
<p>I know its kind of vague... lol</p>
<p>Consulting?</p>
<p>Investment banking comes to mind. Although sometimes it CAN get high stress.</p>
<p>whiterose, I think you are asking for pie in the sky--"routine work, occasional travel, high income, and low stress". Consider a few things:</p>
<p>(1) The jobs that call for a lot of creativity pay better than those that require routine calculation. </p>
<p>(2) Higher stress jobs pay better than lower stress jobs. </p>
<p>(3) Occasional travel generally requires that you are traveling for a reason. Usually this is because you have a skill that is not readily available and therefore they need you to provide this skill.</p>
<p>I suppose the closest thing to what you are asking for would be consulting in a specialty. That is, you become very knowledgeable in an area that is not well understood in general. As a result, you skill is in high demand--so it pays well. You travel a bit since they need your expertise around the country (or the world). And it's kind of low stress, since they can't really demand that you work extremely long hours since they would be worried that you would leave and go to another firm--or even start your own company.</p>
<p>Oh, and I forgot to mention: I-banking is not high stress, it's EXTREMELY high stress. Just expect to work 60 hours plus per week in an environment where every couple of seconds you are expected to make a critical decision, or deliver a detailed analysis. An I-banking career makes an Air Traffic Controller job seem like a walk in the park.</p>
<p>Please let me know, experienced people...what job needs that most creativity in business world?</p>
<p>If you want to be creative, maybe you should look at advertising. Marketing can be creative too, depending on where you work and the level you're at.</p>
<p>You could even argue that Consulting is creative in a sense that you try to solve problems, but early on you'll be doing pretty ordinary number crunching work.</p>
<p>Banking isn't creative.</p>
<p>And CalCruzer, try 80-120 hours a week, not 60.</p>
<p>"Banking isn't creative."
But it makes the most money, doesn't it? I aim at banking with a goal that first I want to have a little amount of money, after that I will use my money to invest in stock market. Is it a good idea?</p>
<p>Hey hi, I know this isnt exactly a thread about which college to choose, but i was wondering if someone could help me in picking out the best business school in Entrepreneurship out of, 1) Wisconsin Madison, 2) Babcock-Wakeforest, N.C 3) Carlson, University of Minnesota 4) UIUC-IL</p>
<p>I would sincerely appreciate some guidance,</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>Referring back to the OP, maybe something related to a fund management marketer. This person's job is to persuade clients to invest in certain actively/passively managed funds I believe. They also maintain relationships with clients and meet with investment consultants to play a role in development of new products. I got this info from reading a merryl lynch investment banking manual.</p>
<p>calcruzer, can you please elaborate more on consulting? What type of not-so-well-understood information are you referring to? Thanks!</p>
<p>Consulting is specialty fields can sometimes be lucrative. Some examples are: tax expertise, mergers and acquisitions, patent law/intellectual property, executive compensation studies, Sarbanes-Oxley 302 and 404 attestation, financial services (especially if you have NASD certification), facilities planning (including locational selection), bankruptcy handling, reorganizations, purchase accounting (for acquisitions), network configuration, security/IT auditing, forensic accounting, and venture capital funding.</p>
