Need help deciding on what degree to get

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. Chao

Honestly I am looking for a job that is upper middle class pay, no need for a BMW or million dollars a year just something that can I can use to take care of a family and have security.

I see myself as more of a worker bee with some boss potential. Engineering sounds interestings but I don't know if I am smart enough for that field, film making is going to end up as just a hobby. I am basicly looking for something that has flexibility for growth, above middle class paying and has security.

By the way, math tends to be my worse subject. Sad
