A freaking student going back to Uni for a new degree this September, so the pay is only 19k LOL, and I'm almost 26 "feels bad man". To any teen, brahs choose your first degree wisely and not only based on salary or employment but also your interes or you will end up in the same situation.
"And yes we do get pay to study in Scandinavia".

What was first degree, and what are you doing the second time around?

I guess the most accurate translation would be Mathematical-Economics. I was always among those few who were quite good at math but still hated that shet with a passion. But the pressure from parents and general situation with financial crisis made me choose the most job-relevant education at that time anyways. "You will learn to love it,I," they said, yeah right. Already by the time I got BA I realised I just cant be doing this for the rest of my life, or I would off myself. And I would actually be happier flipping burgers "SRS"

Now going for what I should have gone for from the start at what I truly have a passion for a degree in Corporate Law.
Now I only will graduate at 31"feels really bad man" but I guess we all deserve second chances don't we.

I know exactly how you feel. I'm also going back go school again. Let parents pressure me to do something I didn't really have an interest in.

Good luck. And mirin thag you get paid to go to school!

Project Manager for a large commercial construction company. $102k salary plus bonus and profit sharing each year. I like the work, but don't love it. I'm almost 28 and am miles ahead of most of my peers, but am not even close to being satisfied. Been thinking of ways to make money on the side lately.

$120k/yr isn't enough for you at 28? Wow....

Live in a high cost of living area, or what?

RN

approx 73k/year without OT


nope not satisfied. Not satisfied with the pay and work environment. THinking about switching to a different field. Whats a good field? I'd be happy if I make six figures. I just want a job where I can save up for retirement and a business venture.

Senior Regional Sales Manager (cloud software/SaaS industry - public sector clients): last 3 years has been ~190K each year (80k base). new region/position has on target earnings of $280K, so hopefully next year will hit that.

lots of perks beyond that like expensed travel. I probably expense about $80K a year. Usually just spend 2 nights a week in hotels. Yes I love it, but the pressure is intensifying and becoming considerably harder to hit my numbers. but thats the case with basically every sales job.

Yeah I feel this post so much. Every year our quota's keep going up, we make more money but **** keeps getting harder and harder!

analyst at a management consulting firm, $75k/yr starting out of undergrad, usually work 40 hr/wk and enjoy the field a lot (energy sector). Company will pay for my part-time MBA and I can keep advancing in consulting or lateral into a management position in the energy industry. Pretty chill career path with interesting work and high salary potential, but I'm also interested in finance. I'll have to decide in a couple years if I want to go for a part-time MBA and stay in consulting or go for a full-time MBA and try to break into finance (energy-sector private equity/IB, I don't have a business undergrad so the odds aren't really in my favor so idk)
