You would know.
Because you work there.
Need further explanation?


Struck a nerve huh? :p




Seriously you should focus on doing somthing you enjoy as has been advised by others here because you arn't likely to make a lot of money without either a college degree or extensive experience.


(In addition you might want to lighten up just a smidge!)



Edit: Actually you could follow my first suggestion & apply to Hamburger University !!! :D

Nope, it uses Briggs Meyer to identify your personality type then provides careers that fit your personality. Excellent read.

either you need to know some people, or start thinking about going through with ph.D degree in what interests you. There are a few exceptions in the computer science field that will pay that much, but those are startup companies and you really have to be skilled at a variety of computer science tasks. Also, it depends on where you want to live. 100k in NYC is not as much as 70k in Tennesee for instance due to living expenses.

Engineering, Science, Computers are all things that require the skills you listed. Perhaps even medical if you are interested in that, if so, you are practically guaranteed greater than 150k$ where ever you go, but there is a huge time investment for schooling...

I don't want to work with comps because then I will get bored with them.
I am good at biology and psychology/sociology. I find researching more fun than teaching.

Biomedical Engineering FTW! [b Once again, you need a PhD to really get anywhere[/b], but if you get involved in, say, cybernetic brain implants, there you go. The field is also very theoretical depending on what your focus is.

oh yes...i can't emphasize that more.

Although with that he said I would think he'd be interested in that neurobiology junk that connects to psychology over straight up engineering (although engineers are now dominating biology more and more especially areas like tissue engineering...a lot of bio is moving towards genetic theory...not to make it sound like genetic theory is trivial at all ;) )

LoL. Sorry, but you still have about 5 years before you will know what you want to do or what you are good at. Good at science in HS != Good at science in College. You shouldn't be looking at how much money you can make right now, instead look for what you enjoy doing. After that, you should develop skills in that area until you can make the money you want. The entire time you are developing those skills, you should say "Do I Really want to do this?" The first few changes will happen quick, but after a little bit you should find a job you really enjoy doing.

For the record, posting here and saying "I'm good at logic and Science tell me what job I should get, oh and I want to make 100k a year" is a very hard statement to reply to. Without knowing your personality it is impossible to answer you question. (Though you do come off as a whiny kid, so maybe Captante's McDonalds response was more apropriate then even he knew.... :p)

The lack of funny is the most depressing part of your post.

Can't tell you what you like buddy. That's all up to you.

Pick an area you enjoy and like.

Then use that money you earn to have fun and do things you love.


Then life balances out perfectly. Don't turn a hobby into a career. I love playing PC games and would program some of them for fun. But, I would never try to make a career out of that.
