Im currently finishing my first year in Berkeley College where they offer Business, Law, I.T and Medicine.
I am a straight A student with a GPA avg of 3.8.

I have previously taken some I.T classes and was not to fond of it, and Law was just not for me and after doing some research, Law degrees are weighing out to be not as worthy as they once were.

I use to be a Personal Trainer with a large physique( People had recommended to me to become a police officer ) I am currently also working for TD bank as a Head Teller and am number in sales for the first year in the entire region.
I love selling, I love a rewarding career, i love meeting people, i love more than anything helping others, and im a huge family man.

By any chance can anyone tell me some of the top occupations in NYC that would be well fitting to my personal background and my educational background. Thank you and it is greatly appreciated.

Based on your description, Pharmacy/Medical equipment sales rep sounds like a perfect job for you. And these guys/gals can make serious dough. As a doctor, I deal with them on a constant basis.

These jobs tend to pay excellent:

Doctors
Nurse Practitioners/Physicians Assistants
CPA's
CFA's
Engineers
IT careers

IF you have the connections then public school teachers and cops also make great money. You too have the ability to pillage Long Island for everything its worth!

True. Cops on LI make up to $300K and we have 127 school superintendents making up to mid-six figures. Gym teachers rake in $150K, janitors $100K+ and appointed political hacks rake in six figure salaries easily.

Public sector pillage is where it's at on LI. Follow the scent of money, and you will see it leads to the taxpayer booty.

As of right now im majoring in Marketing and am enrolled in a accelerated program to achieve a Masters in Marketing degree. Is that degree worth it as far as career options go? or maybe i should start to apply for the upcoming state trooper exam, or maybe dip my feet into the medicine field and see how that goes, but then again i don't want to waste any more time

List isn't really sales. I recommend sales related. The very top sales people rakes some serious dough in almost any field. Easy to get in most sales, hard to stay at the very top.

We forgot to include LIRR ticket punchers. They make over $100K to walk down the aisles and punch little holes in paper tickets.

Karl is right, and we're not being snarky (much). Public sector jobs is where the real LI money is, and everything else is chump change.
