Wil’s Answer

Well getting a job is fairly easy in a big city, however, large firms know that they can pay way less cause everyone wants to work there for the experience. So, you could spend 5 years getting an Arch degree only to get out of school making 36k to 40k to start, which isn't bad, but you'll be living in the hood or you'll have to deal with room mates living in a nicer area. I switched over to engineering drafting and ended up capping out at 50k, if I wanted to keep going in that field I could have ended up making 70k. Lots of jobs, just won't make you rich unless you go at it alone, but then you need to be cert in your state & have the stamp.

To get a good job one needs to be trained or prepared. With good training and a good work effort, I believe everyone can secure a good paying job. So the first thing I would do is narrow down your field of interest to get the appropriate training. Business and marketing require very different training than architecture and engineering. Both fields will have pros and cons. Do you like building projects, working on business plans, travel, working outside etc.? Look on the internet, under each of the areas and get a feel for the jobs. Most jobs will require math but engineering and business have very different math course requirements. Once you figure out which general direction you are interested in, make sure you work on the requirements and find a in-state college/university’s that has that program if possible. You don’t want to be saddled with a huge college debt. Good luck.
