Lucrative and Secure Careers that only Require a Bachelor's Degree?

Is there such thing as such a career. With the state of the economy and unemployment, I'm trying to find the best option, financially, for me. I'll be attending a top LAC for almost nothing and I'd like to keep my debt minimal (almost non-existent) and would like to be working straight out of college and earning a decent amount of money. Graduate school seems like a risk for me. Any suggestions on careers or majors.

If you are hard-working, intelligent, and enjoy your work, you will make a career for yourself.
If you aren't, you won't.
Why is grad school necessarily a risk? Some grad programs are free or financial aid eligible, depending on the situation.

There are plenty of lucrative (relatively speaking) and secure careers, but getting your foot in the door is not easy regardless of who you are or where you go to school.
