If you’re currently going to college to make some money, that’s good for you but I wouldn’t solely go to school just for the money.  You may find that down the road you don’t like what you do and you may regret it.  Just think of this scenario for a second.  Would you rather work a job you hate that pays a lot?  or would you rather work a job you love but pays enough to get by?  I don’t know about you but I love what I do and I don’t even consider it work.  Life is too short to wake up 9-5 and work for the “man”.

There are so many jobs out there when it comes to a lot of pay.  They range everywhere from the medical field to technology.  It’s up to you to really find out what you would like to do.  I generally tell people to take a look at their hobbies and see how they can turn that into a job.
