Best career field to make serious money? Degree?

[youandme]

Thread title, serious money. If you think 75K= serious money, you have no clue what serious money is!

Maybe he meant rad tech, specialist he's talking about 4hour shifts, for someone that is a red tech, doing MRI's fMRI and radioactive therapy, your looking at 120k working about 3-4 days a week, at most.

Read meatkid is right, the money in cars is in used cars, you get a 4k car form auction, sticker it for 7k on the lot with certain financing for people with bad credit, you sell them like pancakes, because a market for used cars always exist.

Hedge Funds, half of them died in january, and another quarter are going to die out come next year.

Buyside finance. I-banking -> Private equity, venture capital, hedge funds.

However, you're the kid who seems to have blown what was a multi-million dollar inheritance from your grandfather, so I think it's safe to say that money management isn't your thing. Unless, of course, you were lying about that inheritance.

Just find a job in the top third of moneymaking fields, and stay consistent.  You can be a dog catcher and still make $250k a year, as long as you hire a staff and explot the comparative advantages of their time and labor.


oh, and driving across state lines, adopting  a dozen pitbulls each week, sharing some rabies with them, and setting them loose in affluent communities the same day you hand out your busienss card, may be considered a shrewd way to ensure demand.

Not a place I would want to spend 3 or 4 days or 1 day a week soaking up all that radiation. No thanks.

If you like dealing w/scum all day showing junk cars, the used car market is your kind of career job.

my dad develops waterfront property here on gulf coast and has 1.7 million to pay back to bank. Renewal coming up in a month and the bank is prolly going to say find financing elsewhere. Perfect area for katrina lovers too! I was thinking about it but the insurance prices around this area are causing some distress for many buyers.

he's blessed it's only 1.7  that's nothing

Power engineers make 150-200k per year in northern Alberta around the oil sands.  I think it only takes two years of schooling and the work is very relaxed - often they say they just sit around and watch movies on the job.  They usually work 12 hour shifts for 4-5 days a week then have 4-5 days a week off where they go back to their home in a larger city.  Lots of guys I went to high school with who were considered part of the "dumber" crowd ended up taking up that route since they did not have the grades to get into university, and started making 150k in their earlier 20's, much more than the "smart" high school crowd.

Otherwise, for more practical stuff where you dont have to move far north for, I'd suggest Accounting/Finance like some others did, and also pharmacy (dont think that was mentioned).

be an entreuprener, go into the housing market, be your own boss

EXACTLY.........don't be a corporate lackey. Does't matter who you are, how long you've been there or how much you make...........your expendable.

[Moosejay]

Not interested in MED or LAW

But, B.A. in business, or lib arts just dont seem to grant the oppurtunity to "gain entry level employment and work your way up corporate ladder" anymore.

do you have to just have a genuinely unique idea to seperate yourself from the rest? So many sheep out there that just m-f 40 hrs and try to get middle management by time they are 35 and make modest 80-100,000 by mid-late 40s.


what do i gotta do to be a meelyunair

Save 10%(more if poss) of your gross and invest for long term growth
You will retire wealthy

Real Estate is a mess right now.

Not for buyers.  Like I said if you can afford to keep what you have and ride through the bad times real estate at some time will always go up.  They don't make land anymore.

he is not god at saving money.

in that case buy the best hookers with 10% of your monthly income, you will die a happy man with aids or something, but happy nonetheless

Still the best investment around. It always bounces back, just have to hang on to the property and wait.

might be decades though.

In 2009, big companies are going to use their sold stock capital and buy up the repo'd houses in bunches form banks desperate to stay afloat.

What will these corporations do?  Will they invest their capital into fixing them up, even though demand will remain low with skyrocketing apartment construction in 08?

Or, will they keep them slums to keep their profits up, and we'll see 1-3 houses on every street in america get sold to junkies and dealers at 50 cents on the dollar?

this one had me rolling.. where the hell did the best quotes and insults board go?

[muscularny]

I once read that of all the people in the USA who are financially independent, 95% of them made there money in realestate. Not so sure about now though

look being worth millions on paper and the toll each deal takes on you is rediculious, most guys who make money in RE end up not enjoying it till they are 45+ and in most cases it will be their children who will enjoy it

Jeez remind me not to ask you for investment recommendations.  Anyway buy income property.  Multi-family and small apartment buildings.  Even the people not doing great right now have to have a place to live.  Have others make your mortgage payment for you while you ride out the storm.  Generate enough to cover all your expenses associated with the property and still make a small income.  Take your equity and roll it into another property.

I forgot everyone on here has a luxury ride with a $250K income at birth.  No need for GetRichers to move up the ladder.

Again...there are jobs you can start at $50-$75K and move up the ladder.  When on GetDisney...you're already at the top even when you're in your mom's house.
