Anything that puts food on the table for and ultilizes all your skills and given abilities and that you are content with regardless of how others feel about it.

Lol my dad just barely made the cut then and is in the 10%? He started working right outside of HS though. No college education.

The world could use more doctors/workers in the health-care field.

Computer related (C.S, etc) / Engineering majors tend to help a lot when searching for a job. Assuming you're in the states, if you dislike any Math/Science related majors (Business, Economics, Chemistry, etc), your best bet would be to invest in skilled labor and start your own business. Although Republicans have taken control over Congress, they still have to butt heads with Obama over many issues (executive order, vetoes, etc), which means that cheap skilled labor will not rise quickly, and also skilled labor is favorable when the economy of the states and shifted over to a service industry. In all honesty,you should probably have a general idea of what you're good/bad at, so capitalize on it and find labor that's favored to your pros. Passion will eventually either overcome the desire of only money, or will eventually lead you to more money!

My dad is making around 80k a year and he came to America with nothing about 17 years ago. If I make anything less than that then I would be ashamed because I've been given every opportunity to set myself up to make more than that. My older brother is currently 21 years old with a little less than two years of college education and he managed to get a job when he was 20 as a mobile developer making 75k. He actually has an interview with the company Yik Yak soon since they recently got over $40 million in funding and they told him he'd start at no less than 95k. But yeah, I'm a bum compared to my older brother so I don't expect anything like that anytime soon.

Any job that makes less than 200k a year is poor.

Engineers and computer science careers make great money and get jobs fairly faster than other time invested careers.
But if you hate math then....
