<p>i have put up a same post in another forum but i decide to post it again here..</p>

<p>hi everyone! guess you probably think i cares too much about $! LOL~~actually i'm just asking for one of my friends. she is really really good at maths( like 800 for maths on both SAT1 and SAT2) and she intends to become an actuary because that will bring her billions of $. however, she told me that she decides to give up this pursuit because becoming an actuary in the US requires 8-year college life and she simply cannot take it! she is now really confused at which courses to take and what job to find. do you guys have any suggestions for her? do u think engineering a good choice for her?
BTW, she is from the same country as me, China and she is beginning her undergraduate education in a small LAC.</p>

<p>Nutritionists make that much money</p>

4

<p>yeah, and crack dealers</p>

5

<p>Usually at what salary does an engineer get stuck at with a Bachelor?</p>

6

<p>"yeah, and crack dealers"</p>

<p>I beg to differ. </p>

<p>Read "Freakonomics" by Steven Levitt, particularly the chapter entitled: "Why do drug dealers still live with their moms?"</p>

<p>XD</p>

<p>Good book!</p>

<p>But considering most circumstances, drug dealers make some money.</p>

<p>I have a get-rich-quick scheme. Ask your friend to send me a cheque for $5000 and I'll tell her everything she needs to make that 360k/yr salary of hers. She'll regain everything in 5 days! What a deal!</p>

<p>ha, I've never read it</p>

<p>actuaries do "well", about the same as engineers, and it is also a 4-yr program. you can graduate and get right into it and take tests on the side while you build your career.</p>

<p>just like the best engineers (that want to) rise and become great and well paid managers, the upper level actuaries do quite well.</p>

<p>if your friend is looking to make $$$ at all costs, here are the options:</p>

<p>Quant Finance/Trading: Unlimited upward potential especially for those with Derivatives knowledge. Good path might be BS Mathematics/Econ -> MFE -> Wall St. Post MFE ~ 120k. The best people on Wall St. make big $.</p>

<p>Top Law School: With strong math skills, ur friend will probably do excellent on the LSAT. Combine that with a nice GPA, go to Harvard Stanford or Yale, and then join a NYC "big law" firm (starts at 160k or so)</p>

<p>Medical could also be an option but they need to like biology and physics in addition to math.</p>

12

<p>thats because money is the best way to compensate for......something</p>

13

<p>invest in something a lot of people want, but don't know they want it yet :)</p>

14

<p>become a politician</p>

15

<p>yeah, she might want to become a politician in china or find "connections" with a few of the top officials.</p>

16

<p>Someone deleted my post. Wouldn't someone who chose the name NAKED GIRL figure out an EASY way to make $360K/year?</p>
