I'm a junior in college and I finally chose a major. I chose Food Science because the food industry in the number one industry in the country. The Food Science program at my school has a 100 percent job placement and the average starting salaries is 40 to 55K. I know the usual degrees that offer a high paying job is Engineering, Accounting, and Finance. But what if you have no interest in those majors, what degree could you receive that would offer you around the same amount of money?

I want to go to school to study electronics but I have some concerns. My father works in the same field but his job requires him to have a high level clearance. If I were to graduate. I wouldn't be able to get in the same field being that I have bipolar disorder. I was wondering if there were any other major groups of employers that would hire electronics technicians other than the defense industry. Also I would like to know if they make as much money as those who are employed in the defense industry.

I graduated college with a mechanical engineering degree but I could not get a job in mechanical engineering because none of the employers I interviewed with would hire me because I did not have any experience. I ended up getting a job at a bank. I was running out of money and had no choice. I have been at the bank job for several years now and I am feeling that my math and science skills are not being put to good use.
