I want to be an architect but I'm not sure if they make enough money for me. I got big dreams but I've got the big brains to achieve them, and patience. Some people want the money but don't want to work for it I'm willing to work for it. (Shocking right) So what are jobs that could get that kind of salary. And what degree and how many years of experience do you need. Doctor of any kind is out I'm too queasy, same with sports player, and entertainment/modeling. I'm average looking, average singer, and I can't dance at all. Maybe acting I could do acting I can fake the heck out of people. ^-^ but I'm not really considering that. I don't expect a starting salary to be that 350K

I know that you can get almost any job with a Mathematics degree, and I also that Mathematics graduates have the LOWEST levels of UNEMPLOYMENT, but which jobs can they get exactly? Specific details please? I know that you can be a maths teacher/lecturer, and that's obvious, but I really don't want to go into teaching. I also know that you can have a job in Finance and Accounting, but they are also obvious.

Recently, my company announced that all workers would have to divulge any second jobs or self-employment, and furthermore, have them approved (or denied) by the General Manager as a condition for continued employment. Is this legal? Notes: I work in California (so any help with state law would be useful) and my employer is a State Government entity.

And if you are one, how much do you make on average per month? How much of your own money have you put in? Pros? Cons? Basically, I'm just trying to look at potential part-time jobs I can do as a full-time mom. I HAVE checked their website, but they don't touch on the subject directly. At least, nothing that I found was very direct.

I am going to be a junior in college this fall so I don't have much professional experience working with investments. I do have experience in investing and trading stocks though. So if I were to add the following items on my resume under the "Hobbies and Skills" section, would it look impressive or would it look no good. All of the following is true by the way: ·Has a passion for researching equities. ·Recently started managing $90,000 of family portfolios, which include equities and options. ·Realized a 40?ain year over year in a model portfolio from 2006-2007. As I said, this would be listed under the "hobbies and skills" section of the portfolio. I also have a few more things listed there so it is not like this is the only thing. Thanks for answers.

I am interested in finance and investing, and am currently in school for business. I am unsure of what career possibilities await me after graduation though. I was considering positions like: investment adviser, financial adviser, tax consultant, financial planner, etc I would like to be giving advice, but not putting huge pressure on my shoulders (ie- I don't want to physically make the decisions of how to invest others' money) I like researching different ways to invest that would avoid high taxes, and other ways to maximize returns I would like to stay away from sales as much as possible, as I don't want to sell a product I might not necessarily believe in; and sales really isn't my thing. I hear that financial planners is really only 5?lanning/researching, and 95?ales/marketing
