That^, and some levels of money management (and accounting (again)).

 

A friend of mine who does health care consulting said that pharmaceutical sales is a big money occupation now, FWIW.

 

also, i have a friend that is a senior tax consultant with PWC, been with them for 5 years, before that was with the Australian Tax Office for 2 years. he has his accounting degree, masters of tax, and his chartered accounting accreditation. he lives in sydney with his wife, and he makes about $75k a year. his next promotion will be manager of his dept, and salary there will be about $90k. for that salary, he just gets by in sydney paying for his house repayments, he works about 55 hrs a week.

personally, i never could stomach accounting at uni

 

This includes dentist too? I friend of mine is about to start her own business. But I heard that the tuition is upwards of 100k and the programs run typically about 8 years...including the internships? But damn, upwards of 100k as a starting salary!!

 

This is weird because i also work for Costco, and I have to admit I get paid well for just changing tires but I do not want to just get paid well i want to get paid enough to buy a house. I have been going to school for about a year and half and it is time to decide what the hell I am going to do with my life. Oh and management jobs at Costco only require a degree in BJ's.

 

My suggestions:

1. Real Estate School (realtor)

2. Medical equipment repairer (particularly radiology equipment)

3. Army/Air National Guard Federal Technician (what I do)

All 3 make good $$ and do not require a 4 year degree.

 

Hahaha! Isn't that the truth!! That's the bad part is if you want to move up in Costco you can very easily! A warehouse manager make @100k a year but I just can't see myself doing that.

 

Are they mostly women??

 

Don't laugh Fokker, but being a nurse isn't bad either. If you have some basic college classes you can do it in 2 years.

My wife is in nursing classes right now and some of her friends who are graduating are getting offers of $50K+ with no experience(in Chicago). On top of that they get to work 3 12 hour shifts a week and they are done.

 

There is another Costco-like store chain called "BJs."
