#6 - marketing degree

demand remains strong for marketing graduates in the business world, though a more general business administration degree, ranked number two overall, gets the edge in today's tight job market because of its broader application.

Average starting salary:
Marketing: $42,499

ftw !!!!

But if I could do it over I'd major in computer science. I think I'd have paid more attention in school.

#4 - Accounting/Finance Degree

Finance and accounting graduates can expect their fortunes to improve as the economy improves. "Historically, hiring on Wall Street has recovered before the rest of the economy," Richard Lipstein, managing director at Boyden Global Executive Search, told the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Average Starting Salaries:
Economics: $52,909
Finance: $49,607
Accounting: $47,982

I can attest to this, although Ive been going back and forth on going back to school and starting a new career in the medical field. But I can honestly say my degree was worth it and the return on it has been more than tenfold.

A lot of salaries depend on the market you live in too. Want to make more? Sometimes you money is in other places...

My girl used to work for the paper down in Dallas. The journalism field is getting dry as hell. Shit, you have to have multiple degrees and shit nowadays to find a job. I also worked as a "purchaser/buyer" for a number of years and then I got my pharm tech liscence. But still, 1500 people got laid of last year starting with the top salary makers, it ain't safe no more around here

Pharm techs basically assist the pharmacist in dispencing meds but you don't have to figure as much shit out as the pharmacist, like which meds interact with each other and could prove dealdy. Now to be a actual pharmacist is a whole nother ball game, that's 8 years of schooling with a starting salary of around 75-80k. Pharm Techs make different salaries depending on the state you live in. I'm in the 40k plus range at the moment. And it also depends on what company you work for, a lot of major pharmacies like Walgreens, CVS or Osco can pay you more but they still skimp with the money. I work in the hospital so it's not as bad. The job is not hard and it teaches you a lot about meds to the point I will open a chikcs medicine cabinet and see what type of medication she is on and rather to run or not.

But to be a pharm tech the school is not long, just a lot of math. I learned by ojt and applied for the state liscence. I'm not in the process to get board certified.

Da Fuck? That's all that shit pays. What kind of degree they got associate?

#3 - Computer Science Degree

Computers are an indispensable part of the economy, and so are graduates who study computer science, which ranks as the third most valuable degree in today's job market.

Average Starting Salaries:
Computer Science: $61,205
Information Sciences & Systems: $54,038

yup yup...it was hard work but yeah its paying off. $$$$

working on that MBA too..

 

[The LouisiAnimal]

Yeah, I make good money in my profession but if I liked math more and could do it all over again, I would get into biomedical engineering or electrical engineering. Less schooling and money invested as well as better starting salaries. The only negative would be long hours.

Those are jsut the average starting salaries and usually those dont even include self-employed people in those fields in those averages. It took me about 4 years to make it to the 80k mark once I finished college and I know I only did it that quick because I have already been working in my field with a reputable company since high school graduation

 

[darryl_jenks]

Yeah he has the potential but too bad he was over shadowed by Colt trying to get the Heisman playing in blow out games instead of using the back up. Same shit happened to Bama a few yeares back when we lost Prothrow in a Blowout.
