<p>People are probably going to think I'm shallow for saying this, but a high paying job is a must for me. I'm not saying that's the only factor in my decision but it is a major one. I'm currently a high school senior and deciding what I'm going to go in to. I know it's going to be business, but I'm not sure exactly what I want to do. So far the only high paying career in business I know of is investment banking. Does anybody else know of any other high paying jobs in business in which you can earn 75k+ within the first 3 years?</p>
<p>I’ve wanted to be a Forensic Accountant for quite some time now and it wasn’t until recently that I discovered just how much they earned. After that it reassured how much I wanted this career. Also, with the recent Madoff Ponzi scheme, forensic accountants are in even higher demand.</p>
<p>Look, anything competitive will pay well - IB, top-tier consulting. Good luck getting in, though (you’ll need it).
The same applies to any other high-paying job.</p>
<p>The point is, no matter what field of business you go into, (and, indeed, no matter what major you are), if you are at the top of that field, you will be making 75k+ within the first 3 years.</p>
