Rural real estate appraiser. High demand, good pay, interesting work (not true for simgle family home appraising) . I hire them all the time and have often thought I should have considered appraising as a career.

Kinesiology if your a girl, specially a sorority girl. I swear 95% of sorority girls I met while I was in college were kinesiology majors.

Architecture ..... use the degree to enter entertainment as a set designer where starting pay can make you 80k-100k and that’s working 9 months on average

Accounting isn't math, spreadsheets do all the numbers. Real accounting is actually highly conceptual.

Accounting is putting things into categories and organizing data and information into a usable format. More to it, but I guess that's a decent summary.

I'm going to step outside of the box and say ag business. There's a serious need for mid-upper level people in the ag field.

With the right internships/connections you could make very good money very quickly working/managing for any number of chemical companies or corporate farms.

Then there's the whole small-scale specialty farming route as well. I enjoy thumbing through hobby farmer books and have seen some number crunching on it. With the right contracts/local markets a person could lead a pretty fun lifestyle.

What about SLPs?

I knew some in the hospital setting making $50k to start back around 2008. And that was in a city with a university that had an SLP program.

My son makes more as an electrician helper than many college graduates make several years into their given career. If you were open to a trade(electrictricion, plumber, carpenter, welder, machinest) you can do very well. Real estate is a great career if you get after it.

Drop half a mil on a career that might pay 200k a year. That's ridiculous.
