major/career suggestion - looking for some advice

so i am an entering freshman, undeclared, but on the premed track

i chose premed cuz i really dont know what else to do, and [plz dont flame] i want to make alot of money [/plz dont flame] -- but ihave realized this may not be the best way

people always ask wat my fav subject is - i dont have one unfortunately

what i do : i write alot of music, i am good at producing, i am good at performing music (guitar), i use the computer alot but i have no experience programming/hacking/etc i like working out and playing ball


but these r just hobbies and when people tel me "do what u want" i look at what i would want to do all the time and realize it would probably not bring in the money (to support a family as well as parents and myself)


so i ask, what job r out there that can bring in 100k+ a year besides medicine, business, and law?

srry for the rant any help is fine really thank you

useless post, no one can help you

don't go to college and move to LA and try to start a music career, clearly you have no interest in going to school

did u even read my post?


its just a hobby and i dont see myself making it big in the industry (btw i live in LA and i have some experience with it) I would rather get an education than risk making it with something like music


the basic question is :

what jobs r out there that can bring in 100k+ a year besides medicine, business, and law?

If the other half of my post is useless to you please disregard it

any career you want can pay 100k depending on your skill level, even a janitor if you are good at what you do. just need some entrepreneurial spirit

just go be a dentist. you sound like the type.

I second fastMEd--anything can pay a 100k salary, but it depends on a lot of different things...skill, experience, passion, drive, connections, luck. You could try winning the lottery...

wait, you havent even started college and yet you dont want to be a doctor and you dont want to do law or business? why dont you take some classes and choose what you want to do like next semester or next summer. start with the cores and take some easy classes in something that you may find interesting...you must have the middle class need to be rich curse...its the worst

i urge u to reconsider choosing a career based on how much money you'll make, it's not exactly a formula for a happy life... but if money is all ur concerned about: http://www.acinet.org/acinet/oview5.asp?Level=Overall
