Just out of sheer curiosity I would love to know what you guys do for a living, what degree got you to that position, and how much you make. I completely understand that these are personal questions but I am actually doing this for my own good. On the road to premed I started to think that maybe a degree in science might be useless if I just so happen not to make it into med school. This is why I am thinking that maybe I should switch my undergraduate to something more reliable and stable in terms of income. Please do share any advice or information you have.

Degree: Biomedical (still in school)
Job: None currently

I have a BA in Economics. It got me a job with IBM as a Systems Engineer (technical sales support), I then moved into sales for 8 years. Left there to join a construction company that I now own. As far as salary, it is up and down, but I have made a very good living, and at 54 years old am debt free and getting close to retirement.
