<p>Ok so in your opinion, what are the best paying or most popular jobs nowadays?
and what do you think would be in the future?</p>
<p>Usually,you need special skill to get a good paying job that nobody else can do.</p>
<p>Umm...doctors, engineers and lawyers are usually always all of the above..</p>
<p>You can get some pretty good statistics if you google it.</p>
<p>I'm guessing the highest paying job would be a neurosurgeon. Anesthesiologists are also way up there. </p>
<p>Besides medical practitioners, engineers, and those in business, airline pilots also make quite a bit of money, excluding the usual perks.</p>
<p>best paying?</p>
<p>Executive Producers for Hollywood films</p>
<p>most popular?</p>
<p>small business entrepreneurs.</p>
<p>Radiologists make sick income.</p>
<p>prostitutes!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>My brother's a sailor, and he's going to be earning 100k+ per year as soon as he graduates from his maritime academy. I'm going to be a doctor , but I think he'll be a lot richer than me</p>
<p>It depends what you consider to be a good paying job. Personally, because of how I was raised, I don't think $100k is that much and would be disappointed in myself if that's all I achieve in my career. </p>
<p>For other people, that might seem like a great salary.</p>
<p>If you really want to be a billionaire, looking for a job and get paid is not enough.</p>
<p>I'm engineer major.The best paid engineering field is petroleum.The starting salary is much higher than EE/CS.</p>
<p>How is the market for petroleum? Are graduates in as much demand as for EE/CS? How will that trend develop?</p>
<p>With peak oil, probably not too well... :P</p>
<p>If you really wanna make load of money, do investment banking.</p>
<p>Petroleum is not that stable.<br>
But you know,the demand for ECE is also limited and there are tons of ECE graduates. Almost every university has ECE department but only a few has real petroleum engineering department(about only 10,stanford,Ut austin,Texas A&M and a few others)</p>
<p>If one actually wants to do Petroleum I would recommend attempting to get into the industry with a Mechanical Engineering or Chemical Engineering degree. If the bottom falls out of the oil industry, it gives you places to go.</p>
<p>Well,I think math major is the most versatile.I know somebody with math background go to petroleum company.And they can also go to investment bank.</p>
<p>At least,they can become teachers.</p>
<p>What about bio majors?? What do they usually end up doing?</p>
<p>bio major is the second worst major I know,unless you can go to medical school or law school after graduation.
I've many friends who are biology PHD,they told their lives are more miserable than dogs.Many of them are at the edge of mental breakdown.And they can hardly get a job,so many of them ended up working as postdoctors in schools and labs.Very few lucky ones end up being faculty in universities.</p>
<p>^ is this same for Biochem student?
I am major in Biochem and will submit my transfer application to UC next year. Every time people talk about how bad Bio major can be, I have a feeling that I am making my own gravestone...
I understand a degree won't ensure a good future, and this is good to study something I really love, but I just can't stop worried how my future will be...</p>
<p>'second worst major'?? whats first then....thanks for sharing your views....i am interested in biology but don't really know if i should go for it.</p>
