People get excited about paper hat degrees, such as English Lit, Environmental Mgmt, and Sociology. Then they blame everyone else for the huge student loan they will never repay. Do your research before you jump in to any career. Take a summer job related to that career and keep both eyes open. If you can't find a related job think about what you just learned.

Jeremiah,

It's not always about money.

#20. If you get hired into IT administration, and you don't know how to map a network, you're in the wrong career.

I wanted to be an architect, but we got pregnant and I had to earn so I started working as a builder. 6 years on I went out by myself, within a year I was making well over $100k and I've never made less ... working 45 hours a week. Being the boss is the way to go, and dealing fair with customers means everybody is happy.

Yeah, retired fed here, I'm wondering when the gravy train starts. I'm waiting...

"According to what I've seen with a woman I dated, Architecture. Lots of hungry, driven kids coming out of architecture school ready to make their mark on the world. Reality is that Architects make little money while being pinched between developers, customers, and consultants. Everyone other than them makes the money, and they're expected to work crazy hours."
