Need help deciding on what degree to get

[cookderosa]

NO I do NOT want to be a weather man lol. But I have heard that for the Math and Natural Science degree Thomas Edison accepts a huge amount. I am mostly interested in Film Making but obviously that is not avaiable. Maybe business or management, but really I am open to anything. I like medicine but that may require to much schooling for me.

Ok, what are you thinking in terms of jobs? Are you more of a "high power-need lots of money and a BMW" focus, or a "freedom-happiness-and flexibility" type of person? Do you want to be a worker bee or the boss?

I think a very general statement would be- if you have the brains for a math/science degree, it's worth considering. The candidate pool simply isn't as large, and frankly, it says "I'm smart." Can you be satisfied making films as a hobby, or do you feel that should be your primary focus? Medicine will require labs, something you can't really do easily online. (and would you really WANT to?) but an MD certainly has job security. The health care field is BOOMING and growing at a faster rate than ever. What about some type of engineering? There are a lot of things to think about!

My favorite browsing site is the US Department of Labor occupational handbook. It is more career information than you can imagine even exists- including projected outlook, salary ranges, fields of employement, training, duties, etc. The U.S. Department of Labor Home Page, Secretary of Labor Elaine L.
