There are many more specialized degrees and sub-disciplines within these aforementioned groups. This is just a general categorical list by which to start. But what they all have in common is they pay. They provide a positive ROI. And while a cryptic list isn’t going to tell you for sure what your future career is going to be, the best way to choose a degree is to use that voice of reason “deep down inside.” To be intellectually honest with yourself about the real-world economic prospects of the degree. If a degree is easy or sounds easy, you know it’s going to be worthless. If a degree sounds “fun” or something idiots claim to be “passionate about,” it’s guaranteed to be worthless. But if it’s hard and arduous to earn a degree in a particular field, especially if it’s painful and boring, then there’s a darn good chance it’s a worthwhile degree. Finally, before committing to any degree or profession, always consult the salary data at the Bureau of Labor Statistics to make sure it’s a worthwhile endeavor (www.bls.gov). If you do these things you will avoid 80% of the problems Millennials suffer today.

(***Author’s note – Choosing the right degree is easily going to be one of the most important financial decisions you will make in your life. And while this brief discussion will point you in the right direction, it would be well worth your money and time to read “Worthless – The Young Person’s Indispensable Guide to Choosing the Right Major” as there are more landmines than you think in choosing a college major. Please put the time and effort into adequately researching this decision.)

Alternatives to College

I get a kick out of watching my buddy “Bob’s” dating life. He has no debt. He owns all three of his vehicles outright. He will pay off his 30 year mortgage in 10. He brings just shy of $200,000 a year. And he’s also a good looking chap, coming in at 6’1” with rugged Mike Rowe looks. He has absolutely no problems landing a first date. But he can’t for the life of him land a second. And the reason is really simple.

He’s a plumber.

And plumbers just aren’t sexy.

Once women find out he’s not a software engineer or an investment banker (even though he makes that level of money) they have no interest in him. And on the opposite side of the coin, I’ve heard female clients complain such men just “aren’t at their level” because they don’t have a college degree. I find it hilarious on two fronts, not only because these girls believe in the falsehood that college = success, but because he’s making way more than these girls ever will with their “Human Resource Management” degree. Still, none of this solves Bob’s problem and so a most eligible bachelor goes wanting, fishing whenever he wants, eating good food, riding his snowmobile in Wyoming, piling up more money in his SEP IRA. I think he wipes his tears of loneliness with hundred dollar bills actually.
