If You Could Have A 100% Scholarship What...

MVP
classes would you take.
I have been awarded an oppourtunity to take any college classes towards a degree of my choice 100% paid.

I still havn't finished high school but I am having a hard time not taking this offer to better myself.

What is a good white collar field to enter?

    Whatever you choose, if you choose Social Work, don't pick a field where you will work with children, the mentally disabled, or the elderly, unless you plan on obtaining a Master's level degree, or higher.
    All very rewarding to work with, in their own way, but you will never make any money, otherwise (although a man with a Bachelor's will make quite a bit more than a woman with the same credentials, go figure! But I'm not bitter[}:)]...)

    Don't waste your time in the computer field, it tops out quickly and will leave you unfulfilled.

    If I could do it again, I go for a law degree and work towards being a trial lawyer. I love to argue.

    Either that or a medical degree and be a phsyciatrist.

    MVP, I expect you will do well with whatever you decide. I thought you were in your mid twenties with some college.

    Congratulation on the Scholarship. [:)]


    I thought the same.


    Pretty close[:D]

    I am in my mid 40s, high school drop out, never completed a GED and the only school I have ever graduated from is the school of Hard Knocks.
    I currently have a job making 100,000+, which is great, and was given an opportunity to have a degree in the field of my choosing paid 100% with a large bonus paid when/if I completed. I just hate school work.

    I have enrolled in and completed several small specialty courses (including High Level Math)to help me in my work but never a degree type path. I feel like if I don't take advantage of this opportunity I am wasting somthing good and then I don't want to waste my time getting a degree in a field I will never use.

    No matter what field you choose to major in, there will be some courses in common. English, math, science, history, etc etc etc. Go ahead and get those out of the way. A LOT of folks end up changing their major- but if all you have taken are major spcific courses, you just threw that time (and money) away. Go sit down with a counselor at school of your choice, and map out what you need for ANY degree. don't be afraid to take some electives that are a touch off your path. The key to anything is developing your plan, and carrying it out. PS- have an Associcate's in one field, bachelors in another, maste's in 3rd, and work in a 4th field. Good luck-

    A tortoise furrier.

    I can take the courses online. I was gonna take it at the local Business School, but it went out of business.

    Electrical Engineering, with Medical subspecialty>>>Aerospace Medicine, or Electrical Engineering>>>>>Robotics.

    Material Science>>>Aerospace

    If you are really good at the Math, Particle/Quantum Physics.

    Explosives Technology research could be a real blast.

    Ergonomics Engineering would be handy.

    Chemist.

    Astrophysics.

    Exobiology.

    Mining - someone will have to mine the Moon/Mars/Asteroids!

    Go Navy test Pilot/Astronaut.

    Go Air Force test Pilot/Astronaut.

    Go Marine test Pilot/Astronaut.

    If I was making that much money, I would skip the school part. I just graduated with a BS in Exercise Science and a BA in Communications. Now I am looking for a job with them. Since you do not really need a degree to make more money, as you make enough already, why not just do something for fun, something you would be interested in learning about? If I was in your position I would learn another language or maybe a skill I do not have, like playing an instrument or I have considered gunsmithing. School takes up a lot of time, so just do something that you would enjoy doing, and that would make it easier and more worthwhile to go through.

    My wife has a Phd. in Educational Research and Statistics and has companies begging her to do work for them. If she starts making any more money, I'm gonna have to quit my job.

    well I already have bachelors degrees in chemistry and physics, which is a good base of undergrad learning.
    Could I use this hypothetical scholarship for graduate studies?

    I guess I'd use it for medical physics so I would not have to worry about getting a stipend and stuff
