Aviation. Specifically a degree that will give you all your ratings.
Lots of pilots will be needed by the airlines in the next 10 years and it pays well.

Construction Management with an emphasis on industrial construction
You’ve got to be batshit crazy to go into construction management these days. It damn sure isn’t what it was 20 years ago.
The pay is good, but the stress never leaves. If you’re into your job, there is always something that is pressing. A week long vacation without job worries doesn’t exist these days, no matter who you leave overseeing your duties.
If I had it all to do again, I’d be a pharmacist or Physical Therapist.

That seems like a logical starting point.

This is any career that has the possibility to make good money and presents any challenge. I couldn't imagine going to work and not being challenged for the next 30 years. Sounds miserable.

It's awesome. I did the challenging work thing and it's overrated. You can find challenges in life outside of work.

Challenging doesn't equal time just to be clear.

There is an AI wave coming. I would advise a young person to read “Augmented: Life In The Smart Lane” and several similar books to avoid entering a profession that will be made obsolete by tech in the next 20 years. For instance, Only in it’s infant stages, AI is already more accurate at diagnosing some ilnesses than doctors. Think how much cheaper and better healthcare will be when you’re not paying a human half a million dollars a year to make significantly more mistakes than a computer program.

Engineering is solid these days.
If you see yourself being more of a manager, just do an undergrad and work your way up through the management levels.
If you get in and actually enjoy the technical side of it, go get a M.S. or PhD. The opportunities these days for technical fields are plenty.

True. I’ve read where the average person changes careers 5-7 times in their life.
