Why Do People Always Tell You To Pick A Career Where The Money Is

Are there any careers that help people save money?

Its called a CFP, certified financial planner. Unfortunately if you don't like any subjects in school you will have a hard time landing a career advising people on how to save and budget. Without credentials and a solid education, you won't be able to land any type of job advising people on finances.

WOULD you choose A CAREER FOR MONEY OR PASSION?

Why do everyone on yahoo answers always answer career questions for wanna be doctors and surgeons like " dont do it for the money ohh do what you love" THATS BULL... No one in their right mind would go though 12+ years of school and go into100k+ in debt for lets say 40k. I think someone can be a doctor for the money if they are good and good to patience.Honestly my passion is making money I would shovel horse $h!t in the hot sun with a smile on my face for 300k+. So honestly would you be a doctor if you" loved to help others" for 13/hr and you LOVED your job or do something else like a trashman or janitor for 350k. LETS SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE LIE.....

Is it bad that I'm choosing a career based on money?

I'm still in high school, and I'm a junior. When choosing a major I want to be really careful because I don't want to waste money. I don't really know what I'm interested in, but all my friends want to do something with medicine. They all want to become doctors. I wanted to do something with business because I do find it somewhat interesting, but I was looking at what doctors make and what association executives make and doctors is twice the pay! it makes me rethink what I want to do. However, I'm scared the 10+ years of schools is going to be a huge burden on my life, and i'm going to be in so much debt in the future. However, I do want to make a lot of money. I'm taking biology and I can honestly say I'm good at it but hate it. So is it bad that I'm choosing a career based on money?

Which is important in choosing a career, passion or money?

Great question! I think you should choose a career based on passion, and I’ll explain why.From my experiences in life that led me to become the CEO of goLance, I can tell you that it wasn’t the money that motivated me. I have learned that careers which offer a lot of money, normally don’t deliver any sense of accomplishment. If you’re going to be working for half of your life, I suggest that it is with something you are passionate about. Money will motivate people, but never for the right reasons, nor for the purpose of adding any value. If your career is chosen solely on the earning potential, how will you stay motivated to continue working? It takes a lot a of focus and determination to become a surgeon, a lawyer, or even a top salesman. If your heart is not in your work, it will show. The scary aspect of this, is that some professions strictly deal with the outcome of someone else’s life such as the medial and legal fields. How would you feel if your brain surgeon told you he is “in it for the paycheck” immediately before your surgery? I never knew that I was going to start a freelance platform. The idea never crossed my mind when I was younger, but as I became engaged in the world of freelancing, I knew that there had to be a better way to find and hire freelancers. I became so passionate about wanting to find another way, that I created it. It wasn’t my intention, it was my passion. Now that goLance has been around for a couple years, I would never wish any differently. My journey as the CEO has led me to the Philippines, Ukraine, and all across the world. It wasn’t money that started my journey, it was passion. I urge you to consider what you’re passionate about, and follow the path of the entrepreneur. If you don’t know what you want to do in life, that is OK. You have plenty of time. Figure out your passions, and follow them. The rewards will be greater than any amount of money. I hope this answers your question. If you need anything, feel free to reach out. Here is another answer that might help you.Good luck on your journey!

Is architecture really that bad of a career choice?

Don't listen to the people that say it is a bad career choice. Yes, when the economy hit rock-bottom, architecture did suffer. But so did every other job. By the time you finish getting your B.Arch, the market should be booming again. Even still, there are jobs.
An instructor once told me, if you're talented and passionate, there will always be a job for you.
While architecture is not necessarily a big money maker, you have to think of it in the other light. You are getting paid to do something you LOVE! That is near impossible for most individuals.
My recommendation is to go for your dream. You'll love architecture school, and you won't regret you decision to pursue it if you're passionate, as it seems you are.
*You've already made a smart choice in choosing a school that offers a professional degree at the Undergraduate level, so it sounds like you've done your research. You'll do great!

If you have a career please answer this!?

I choose Accounting. I took bookkeeping in high school and liked it. After high school, I stayed out a year and worked as a secretary to earn money to go on to school and I hated that type of work and wanted to have a good job and money in the future.
I went to college and got a 2 yr degree in Accounting.
Yes, it is what I imagined it would be.
Personality: Any personality, really if you like the field.
Career does not really influence family
Advice: People tell me either you like working with numbers or you don't, no two ways about it.
It has been a rewarding career and they are always looking for accounting people everywhere in every company
No drawbacks that I can think of.
I really enjoyed it, learned alot and have moved up.
