Not Sure What Degree To Do?

6 posts in this topic

What I love:

  1. The ability to grow myself. 
  2. Teaching others.
  3. To help people. 
  4. to come up with new ideas and implement them. 
  5. Having the ability to travel the world.
  6. Having the ability to follow my hobbies.
  7. Learning things I find interesting/ challanging, but not too challanging.
  8. Competition.

What I don't like: 

  1. What dont I like 
  2. Having to deal with tough/ neurotic people 
  3. Having an unhealthy lifestyle. 
  4. being forced to work a ridiculous amount of hours. e.g. 10+ hours a day

my A levels= Politics, Economics, and History.

What degree pays well and fits these?

I was thinking of doing finance and accounting but I don't find it enjoyable, I just like the pay. :(

@Shiva I was interested in accounting for the money and the skills, so maybe that will be a safe option for me, considering that I want to start a online business. Thanks for the advice bro

Maybe you could interview people who already are where you want to be and ask them what degree they took :)

@The Monk This is an interesting post at a very critical time in your life. :) That's ok. Have a little fun with it.

Look into the local newspapers, sites like Monster.com, and your university to see which are the most attractive careers for you. Talk to the university career counsellor and your high school counsellor about your interests and how they could match up to a career.

At the same time, you could start working on your entrepreneurship. Start by making a blog on Facebook or do YouTube on what you love to do - in other words, your interests. It's free to start here. However, first start reading about it and what it is. I highly recommend:

@Key ElementsxD I got that book lying on my bookshelf. But, more importantly I'm curious as to why you said that. So, why did you recommend that book?

@The Monk That book led to my career and life purpose - a very powerful book.

You must've seen this diagram  (B-I triangle) in the book. To me, it's an interesting life puzzle to solve. If you pair this up with Spiral Dynamics, you got your life purpose. It's easier said than done.
