<p>What is a major that could help me earn good money right out of college? I'm considering Engineering but there seems to be too much of that nowadays.</p>
<p>... What do you LIKE to do?</p>
<p>Hmm...nothing really except for video games. I'm not, however, going to be a video game programmer or anything like that.</p>
<p>If it'll earn money, I'll work very hard. I prefer choosing a major that will give me a large variety of jobs to choose from.</p>
<p>I heard that marketing can help earn a lot of money really fast, and there are a lot of jobs to choose from. Anyone can confirm?</p>
<p>I'm sort of shocked that nothing else seems to matter to you except money.</p>
<p>It's not that "nothing else seems to matter to me" but rather I don't have a lot of time. My parents didn't receive much, if any, education. They don't speak English. My father has recently been diagnosed with diabetes and has been suffering back pain. And my mother has to take care of my two younger siblings.</p>
<p>I don't think I have enough time and patience to go through a decade of studying in order to earn money. Plus, some occupations nowadays doesn't even guarantee a nice pay in proportion to the amount of time and money spent in order to get the degree for that job.</p>
<p>I am also somewhat influenced by my elder cousin. I am not exactly sure what was her major or what's her job but I know that she earns quite a plentiful amount. The pay is somewhere in the hundred thousands yearly, I think. She's been working in a bank for several years. Can anyone make a guess about what her major and occupation might be?</p>
<p>the easy way out to make money fast=become a registered nurse in cali. i think you only need to go to school for 2 years and you easily make over 70k+ working less time than people who make that much have to.</p>
<p>in general no company/person shells out a boat load of cash to you if you're not really really good at what you do, especially someone who doesn't have any experience doing what they're doing outside of their college education. Your best bet is to go to a top undergraduate business schools, major in econ/finance/business, and top your competition at everything. Frankly I wouldn't recommend it if it's not going to make you at least somewhat happy. It's going to be 10Xharder studying and getting good grades in majors you dont like, than committing that same time in something you do like and are really good at, or could be really good at.</p>
<p>ps sounds like your cousin is the person you should be talking to. she probably does investment banking, which she probably majored in business/econ/finance. The companies that pay that much recruit at top undergrad business schools, or top LAC/Privates.</p>
<p>Dont make the mistake of thinking that just because you go to college you deserve to be paid well.</p>
<p>Does UCLA offer any class in business/econ/finance?</p>
<p>most likely in their Business Econ major. USC i think is better for undergrad business simply for the added superior USC network.</p>
<p>You don't get paid for a particular major. You get paid for your job. And there isn't always a correlation. Pick a major you like, check out the career placement stats from your school (aka what jobs people take who completed your major), talk to your academic advisor and the career services center.</p>
