What career requires to be social and pays well? - kod_ace - 01-30-2013 02:04 AM
Firstly I will like to thank you in advance for considering in answering my question. i take this subject very seriously and will like respectable answers please.
I'm searching for what to major in college and what career to pursue. Preferably with the least amount of school and a good salary(to provide for family maybe?) I don't have a particular skill set nor an honor roll student in general. But I catch on quickly when I need to be.
If i had to state my skills/hobbies-
I'm social with people, like to be organized, diligent, charming, easy to get along with, ambitious, and like to interact with people(mostly the ladies
, like to learn new skills, respectful, bilingual (Korean/English)And just to throw it in, I want to be able to..
Be financially stable, driving a nice car, have a family, drive nice cars...if you catch my drift
Thanks for the advice, tips, recommendations, etc

Sales, Home Business, Multi Level Marketing, Social Media Marketing. That's just the few off the top of my head.

If you were lucky enough in High School to shine in certain subjects, start there as a college major. Doesn't sound like anything in particular wound your watch, so to speak.
(I was a science-guy, and lucky enough to both start and end with the same major (a hard science) in four years of undergrad. No crime in starting at Point A and trying other things prior to Point Z, graduation day.)
You sound like a marketing or project guy, if you like business AND are both organized and vigilant. Gregarious project managers and marketing people (sometimes called product managers) do well, since you will eventually manage teams and organizations. Business is not a bad major: marketing, econ, accounting, etc. depending on your talents.
If interested in computer science, to go along with the above, by all-means: booming field. Being both technical and business is a somewhat-rare balance and very marketable in the foreseeable future.
Pursuing the above, I was financially stable, drove a nice car, decided I'd sooner be boiled in hot grease than have a family, and...yet again...drove a nice car. As you say. My starting salary in 2012 dollars as a scientist, right out of college, was $46.5K, which ain't the worst thing in the world for entry-level.
Project and product management guys do pretty well these days, over the mid to long-haul. Good luck.
