Hello friends,


I'm back again. Thank you everyone for your invaluable suggestions, ideas and support over my other threads and helping me choose my Colleges and as some of you might know me from my other thread and i've decided that Psychology isn't too great for me if you don't have the time to do a Ph.D and right now I really don't have the liberty to spend 5 years of my life studying with no guarantee of getting a good position or pay.

I already have a Bachelors in Engineering (Computer Science) & an M.B.A (Human Resources). Now, I seriously wanna do a Masters that will be helpful for me in the long run, keeping in mind that 2 years of graduate study should be enough to get that big job...

So, buckle up and kindly help me out 2day to choose a good major for me that is evergreen, useful, high in demand and pays a high salary. Keeping all these factors in mind, i want you to suggest me some best programs. I need to finalize my major by the end of the day, people...

Thank U in advance

You already have two very useful degrees. If you can't get a good job with those degrees, then another will not help. Most likely if you can't find a job you are satisfied with then you need more experience, not more degrees.

Seriously? You're giving yourself less than 24 hours to settle on a major that will certainly determine how the next couple years of your life play out, and likely how the rest of your entire working life will play out?

Do you have any interests beyond making a lot of money with minimal educational effort?

I guess go to bls.gov and find careers that are in high demand and have high pay. Then sort through them and figure out what degrees those people have.

His degrees are from India, which is giving him cause for concern.

Hey Marie, that was like a tight slap on my face.. lol.. Anyway, I do agree that I have two wonderful degrees but what's the use of having them when I wanna work in Canada or in the U.S.A? The bottomline is that my degrees are not recognized in those Countries since they are from INDIA (as JOE as rightly pointed out). I am trying to update myself in order to be in either of the 2 countries... Mostly, let's say Canada.

Jason, you are just seeing the posts that i'm making here but do you know what i'm doing behind the scenes? No, U obviously DON'T coz I'm going gaga deciding on my major and it's easy for you to criticize. Anyway, no worries coz i have finally decided on my major

My my, Jason. Do you usually jump to serious faulty conclusions about someone so fast? With this slap, you disfigured my face and even broke all my teeth. lol. Anyway, I won't deny that i am not looking for a good-paying job eventually but i guess i'm not the only one on that cruise. Everyone wants to find the best of jobs, do their best to earn decent money to lead a comfy life right? Anyway, the bottom-line and i quote that "I'm very much interested to study now even after a 4-year hiatus and i always give my 100% in everything i do, whether it's my job or studies and anything else for that matter".

U gotta live with your choices for the rest of your life ..
