<p>Well the possible professions that lie ahead of me are: Physician, pharmacist, optometrist, actuary, applied mathematician, pure mathematician, and engineer.</p>
<p>my 4 person family lives in silicon valley with $160k income
and even then isn't much considering cost of living/housing prices
and with rising college tuitions, you really need to make over 100k to live comfortably here</p>
<p>I would like to be a pharmacist. Im doing a double major in philosophy and comparative literature right now and a minor in biological sciences. i currently work as a pharmacist technician and am 2 biology classes away from being done with the prepharmacy coursework. Im debating where to go to finish the philosophy and comp lit. I hear UCIrvine is a great place but I hate that it is a commuter school. Maybe UCSD or UCLA. I'd love to get into Cal but I think im too old. lol</p>
<p>My friend in grad school is a pharmacist
He is starting at ~120k/year with bonus
Not too shabby; only problem is there isn't much room to improve unless you be one of the heads of the company</p>

<p>Cal doesn't discriminate based on age (nor anything else). </p>
<p>There is actually at least one non-traditional student/married/mother who posts on this forum and currently attends Cal.</p>
<p>And when I attended a S.California Cal event last October, a 40-something year old man who currently attends Cal as an undergrad spoke to our group. Apparently he attends Cal along with his 18 year old son. It was very inspirational!</p>
