It is terrible that this has escalated to a crisis situation, but we all have to go through this to a certain degree. I just answered a similar question five minutes ago, so I'm going to copy it in here. Here's the other guy's question:\n\n"What profession should I be? (read details)?\nI was thinking of becoming a lawyer or maybe joining the military.\n\nI'm a A-B student by the way dont come in here saying it's up to you blah blah blah just give suggestions if you can find out military pay and lawyer pay and list other jobs that have a nice salary and benifits thank you dont suggest to me any jobs that have much math btw "\n\nAnd here is my answer:\nIf you don't mind going to work each day to lie, cheat, steal, destroy, and do whatever necessary to win, then you might not mind being a lawyer. If virtue means nothing, if morals are unimportant, if purpose and meaning don't matter, then it might not bother you to be in the scuzziest proffesion in the U.S. There are no good lawyers; only snakes and (what do you call the things that live off of others and such the blood out). I'm not saying there are no good people who are lawyers, but when you call the lawyer out, he puts on the mask of Darth Vader, and is not coming to do what is good or right or honest or worthwhile. Lawyers build nothing, produce nothing, and destroy everything, and seclude things for special interests. \n\nNeither could I handle the military, and someone commanding me to do something every day. Your free will and creativity is stifled, smothered, and stamped out. \n\nYou want a decision? From the information given, since you cannot write a complete sentence and are lazy, and cannot communicate well, you would not make a good lawyer, and would make an excellent military target -- just point and shoot. \n\nNeither could I invade another country for some unspecified reason, when Congress has not declared a war. Neither could I break up my family and lay my life down for oil interests. \n\nOnly when Congress declares war, do we have authority to invade another country, according to the U.S. Constitution. Otherwise, we are the terrorist, like in Iraq, in Viet Nam, or Columbia fighting the Drug War. That's why our military are commanded to apply the U.N. patch before invading another country. They have pledged allegiance to protect the U.S., not some unspecified special interest group with ulterior motives. If it is right, then why the secrecy and conspiracy? You want to be a terrorist? \n\nFirst, learn how to write a specific question in a complete sentence. It will help you organize your thoughts. Don't get lazy on something so important and run your thoughts together and abbreviate, unless all you want are opinions. This isn't a chat room. Don't waste our time and make us guess or fill in the blanks. \n\nEvery college has counselors, and most colleges will give tests to match your aptitudes with your interests. I took a whole battery of tests for free that took three days to complete, and discovered that I am well-suited to Engineering. Of course, I knew that once they told me, but I was already enrolled in Business School, because Engineering seemed too hard, and involved too much math. If I hadn't taken those tests, I would probably be a bored bean counter today, hating my job and every new day.\n\nA piece of advice: never do something because it is easy or easier, and never fail to do something because it is hard or harder. You will have to challenge yourself to grow, and besides, your layman perception is not very accurate. How do you know what you're capable of until you try? Sure, I hated the math in college, and I struggled with it, and even had to take Calculus over once, but I got through it. What an accomplishment for me. You think I ain't proud, and full of a sense of completeness? Now instead of shying from things, I have to watch it that I'm not too Bigheaded.\n\nYour choices

You are leaving as many doors open as possible to yourself.\nBusiness is a broad foundation of classes that are applicable to many different careers. Psychology, Math, PE, Communications or English are less applicable outside the few obvious fields. They can all be applied but to business but the core foundation and understanding of business is missing.\n\nNot that I am encouraging you to abandon another field or major that you truly love!

That will really depend on you. Mechanical will be a good start. See what else you really like, talk to a guidance counselor to start getting headed in the right direction. If you don't like their answer, talk to a different one. There are lots of engineering jobs but again, Mechanical should get you ready for a very wide array of careers.

I've been thinking about other things that i can do to fall back on and two majors that stand out to me is liberal studies and women studies. they both have many things that you can do with either degree and for the moment you don't have to use it right away so i think that they can be good. personally I've chosen many different things to fall back on that i want to go to school for like event planning, interior design and different languages to go along with my teaching degree. it's all about options. look around and choose a degree that you will enjoy and that in being a stay-at-home-mom can do to help your children. when you are at home you can work from there doing interior design or event planning by having your own business. you can go to school for teaching as you will be teaching your children in some way shape or form even if they go to school. like i said, think of something you enjoy and then find out from a counselor if you can major in it or something similar. good luck and have fun!

http://www.petersons.com/GradChannel/code/search.asp?path=gr.fas.grad\n\nyou can choose your major, what type of degree you are looking for, and a list of colleges will be listed as per your search. there is program description on the respective universities, as well as information on how to apply to them. you may need to register to get to this page, but it doesn't cost anything.  industrial engr is a pretty wide field, and you can go into different branches like Six Sigma  (Manufacturing), Human Factors, Industrial Management, plant layout, etc. Thats why you have to look at the individual universities to see what their program has to offer. Its a hot field right now, and job prospects are pretty good.

Well, if money is your goal, I'd say that you should try to link your IT with a field that is involved with money.  Finance or Medical Technology might be interesting directions, but even something like Film Studies could be a fit if you us it the right way.

The first thing you should do is take a grammar class so you know enough to ask "what ARE the career options . . . ."  (just kidding -- I know it was probably a little slip and that you do know the difference -- but I couldn't resist it).\n\nThere are lots of options.  You could become a tech writer, and English teacher, a corporate trainer,  work in Human Resources, go into marketing. . . .\n\nOr, you could do the smart thing and go to Law School or get an MBA.

That's like asking everyone what their favorite flavor of ice cream is... I recommend that you pick a business in an industry that you are familiar with and will be happy working in. For example, I started a golf retail business once and had a blast doing what I love and getting paid for it. I hope that helps!!\n\n"Do what you love and the money will follow!"

I got a visual arts media degree. I started working as a customer support rep at a software company now i'm an instructional designer for a govenment contractor. My advice is to study anything you are really interested in studying and don't not do it becuase you think you're not going to get a great job. The job will come as soon as you find something you really love.

I may be misunderstanding your question but all industries require management - what specifically are you interested in?

the only way to figure this out is by figuring what YOU want to do in life. It's kind of hard to figure out aftre just finishing college, you have resposibilities now, rent, debts and so on. The key here is to find out what you really enjoy doing. that can come about from many different ways. If you're like me, I found out what I wanted to do in life by.....figuring out what I DIDN'T want to do. Had lots of crappy jobs that lead nowhere. took me awhile to figure out that I didn't know what I wanted and that's why i career hopped to various jobs. Look at what you find interest in, not what makes a lot of money or what your parents would like to see you do but what you find interests in. doesn't have to be in accounting either. I grad with a B.A. in English Writing and I'm now a loan officer. either look for what you want to do or just pick something quick and see if you like it.
