<p>what are some high paying jobs (100Kish) that are:</p>
<li>not a doctor/lawyer</li>
<li>don’t require math</li>
</ol>
<p>i saw health care manager in another post…what exactly do they do?</p>
<p>famous actor or singer. that's all i can think of with 6+ figure incomes with no knowledge of math or (physical/political/life) science required. im sure the "health care manager" will require some extensive knowledge in health care (life/physical science?) and/or business (math/statistics).</p>
<p>perhaps this will be of interest to you:

<p>a lot of small business owners can make over 100k a year. Just start one that provides some kind of need...</p>
<p>Sales. Sales Sales Sales. </p>
<p>Also, ad/marketing executives/salespeople can do very well. Real Estate, too. I have a friend who graduated from UCLA w/ honors and ended up doing real estate acquisition for a restaurant...his starting salary a month after graduation was in the 6 figures. </p>
<p>You DO NOT need to be a south campus major to make decent money.</p>
<p>PS- Yermama I know you're doing Comm. Comm is a really good major for positioning yourself for a higher paying job. Just so yknow. You have a lot of options with Comm.</p>
<p>allie, are you a comm major yourself? I don't know the actual details but isn't your friend's real estate still somewhat hit or miss? Can you further explain the positioning and options aspect of Comm? I'm strongly looking at comm but only because of interest and not the details of what I'll be able to do once I graduate, thanks.</p>
<p>Human resources managers can make 6 figures. You'll probably need a degree for that, unless you want to spend 20+ years in retail working your way up like my mom did. In fact, some business-ee magazine or something just had a list of the best jobs in America. I think HRM was like 4th on the list.</p>
<p>Oh, here it is (I love yahoo):</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Yes, I'm a Comm major.</p>
<p>And sure, real estate is hit or miss. But since he's employed by a specific company and salaried instead of working on commission, it's a different thing. Certainly he was very, very lucky to land that job and had qualifications (including prior work experience and professional connections) that lots of people don't have. I just mentioned him to explain that it's possible. </p>
<p>You can do ANYTHING with comm. Well, not brain surgery, but still. I say that you have a lot of options for high paying jobs because you can go into almost any field with comm. Like anything, not all of the jobs in the field will pay as well. Obviously if you're interested in the film industry, you'll be making much less starting out than someone who gets a position at an ad agency or someone who goes into sales. It depends on where your interests lie. But comm is really good for letting you explore those interests and hopefully finding a career path that you're both interested in and which will be lucrative for you. </p>
<p>Also, it depends on what you do with your time at comm. Because the major is so heavily theoretical and we don't really gain any actual skills, it's beyond important to get internships and do ECs that relate to your interests. I know comm majors who've graduated and gone on to work retail jobs because they didn't have any direction, and I've known more comm majors who were so well prepared that they went on to very high paying jobs after graduation. Internships, etc are important for ALL majors, but especially comm. It's where you'll make your business contacts and where you'll get hands on experience in your field. (this doesn't apply as much to your question, but i thought i'd put it out there bc it really is important).</p>

<p>:eek: I thought south campus people major in the hard science for knowledge, not for money!</p>
<p>"I thought south campus people major in the hard science for knowledge, not for money!"</p>
<p>err...18-21 year olds don't like to solve diff. eq for fun</p>
<p>allie, just wondering what are u looking to get into with ur comm major?</p>
<p>I work in advertising. Was intially going to pursue creative advertising but I ended up in more the ad services sector (sales, sponsorships, etc) and I'm really happy with it.</p>
<p>i am gonna be a south campus major, but lol yeah CITAN is right.............</p>
<p>as much as we like science and wanna learn stuff, at this point i don't think a lot of the people are there for knowledge, however if you are doing a PhD or something then you can say its not the money.......</p>
<p>"err...18-21 year olds don't like to solve diff. eq for fun"</p>
<p>I was being sarcastic....</p>
<p>I think it's kind of unrealistic for people to not consider or care about the money factor at all. Not that everyone has to strive to be bill gates version 2.0, but like, you gotta survive. I'm all about the knowledge and the learning and the meaning of college. But I have friends (lots, actually) who are so terrified of real life that they refuse to think about life after school and who don't take any action to ensure that they'll be successful after college. Like, putting off doing internships and purposely delaying graduation so they have more time to not make decisions. I don't get it.</p>
