Seems to be a shitload of jobs pertaining to supply chain. Have no idea what that pays though.

Bachelors? Its Nursing hands down. So many options. Always will have a job, can go into insurance, can go back and be a Nurse Practioner, can go into med sales, can teach, etc. And if you want to do something else say like engineering, odds are you’ve alredy knocked out the first year of prerequisites anyway.

What kind of engineer? Where are they working? I’ll disregard that if you account for raises over a career your math doesn’t work out using your own numbers, but whatever... you got data.

Accounting has done well for me, although I had to get finance and business admin as well so I could get enough hours for my CPA

An engineering degree. It’s problem solving, you can go into pretty much any field that requires problem solving.

A guy I know in early 50s was making $270K/yr with Shell - his wife was dishing out details to my wife when they were going through a divorce. I never knew engineers could make that kind of money. Likewise, an old employee of mine had a son that went to work for Shell in Houston - in his early 30s he was already mak8ng $150K (and this was years ago).

Geology undergrad

Geophysics masters

Both programs took us on badass trips all over the US and world. Since then I’ve also travelled the world for O&G and, more recently, large wind farm projects.

I don’t know shite about rocks anymore though

Did you take Comp Sci classes in college and either get a minor or certifications in programs?




No



Not even close. I started in Mechanical Engineering, floated around in everything from Architecture to Marketing to History....graduated in 4 Years + Summer Semester with a BA in Literature. Proceeded to Graduate school. No dual degree or minor.

Mind you, I've been in Product, Product Strategy and Sales, not engineering, so CompSci directly was unneeded. I could probably do anything in the company I want, even engineering with a few certificates. I should probably add the caveat of "find good companies" to that simple list.

Not even sure what the engineering path/degree is called, but cloud computing/AI is going to explode soon.

IT/Network security engineering will also earn you a shite ton.

The further into the future we get, experts in data and technology, and the security of that data and technology, becomes more and more critical to EVERY business in the world.
