And to make it more easier, just tell me whats the type of comp jobs that pays more then $30 per hour. Not to mention, what type of courses are required to get this job? Last, is it possible to get any of these jobs in under 3 yrs of college courses (computer classes, of course). Also, whats the name of the major that is best suited for it? Last, make sure its a job where it does not include anything with creating/building/fixing computers (well, except of soft wares, games, or computer programs)

I'm trying to decide which program to do next semester in college but both of these areas seem pretty closely related, and it's hard to choose? I know that both of them work with the environment, but are wildlife technicians more focused on animals? And are environmental technicians more focused on the environment? If anyone can give clear distinctions between the two, that would be great, thanks I was referring to the differences in the type of activities that they do. If you don't have an intelligent answer, then don't waste time answering the question.

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?

Ok, so i live in the UK and i'm currently in my first year of AS and it's about that time i need to start thinking about my future. First of all, i am unsure of what degree to do. Currently my ideal job would be something that would involve working with animals however i do tend to change my mind a lot. My first question is should i do i general biology degree or something more specific such as zoology? I have done some research into working with animals but i haven't got very far. I know that these kinds of jobs don't tend to offer very high pay. So i was wondering what the best sort of career would be if i wanted to work with animals and also what sort of career working with animals would give offer a higher salary than the others. Also, what other careers would be available to me with my biology degree that could also be interesting and offer a lot of pay? TL;DR: Should I do Biology or zoology? What hands on careers are there with animals? What careers with animals get paid a lot? What other careers are there in biology that are interesting and have high pay? Thank you to anyone who takes the time to help :)

Lots of people are intelligent but don't get on particularly well in school. I have a fairly high IQ, and I like learning things on my own, but I just don't like the academic environment. Unfortunately, so many jobs require degrees nowadays. Maybe we can brainstorm some ideas? We're looking for jobs that require intelligence, but no degree.

I work at a marine electrical and electronics company and we are primarily operated by ex-navy. The standards that are met in the navy transition quite well with the quality of work that we insist on giving our customers. That said, I find it tough to find good employees through veterans of unemployment. Is there another option to find a good naval electrical (motor control and generator paralleling) or electronics (radar & sonar troubleshooting)?
