Well, think about what you really enjoy doing. Then look for majors that are similar to that. Then look at the possible careers with that major.

Also, money isn’t all there is to life. You can be a neurosurgeon and make hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, but can you really handle the stress of being a neurosurgeon? One slip of the hand, one slight twitch, one tiny mistake can cost you your job, your house, your money, and your reputation. Can you handle that? Of course not. The same applies to just about every high paying job. You can’t expect a fat paycheck by doing a job with the difficulty or stress load of a janitorial job. That’s why you have to do what you love and excel at it. Perhaps you want to solve math/logic problems for a living. You could work for a consulting firm helping other businesses streamline production, improve factories, and cut down costs overall. If you’re good at it and display exemplary leadership skills, then you can move on up to be a managerial position or better, making hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. Don’t try to enjoy a high paying job. Rather, do something you enjoy and make a high paying job out of that.
