MD by far. You make boatloads of $, can get a job anywhere at the drop of a hat, and if you like are probably able to work part time, albeit for less money, but still more than the rest of us.
Job security is impeccable and respect and prestige speaks for itself.
This is because the medical association limits the number of degreed doctors so competition of 'a job' is nil, though of course there is competition for better jobs.
Every other degree you can get is various degrees of crapshoot.
Pinkmani's list is pretty good though.
Eh. It really depends on your specialty. The prestige and respect is pretty universal though.
As a SpEd teacher with 20 years experience I would warn anyone going into education right now to think twice. HUman service areas like nursing / medicine, psychology, and the likes are probably better choices over education.

There are many downsides to gettng and being an MD. And many specialties that have their own specific up and downsides.
I wouldn't go nearly as far as saying "MD by far". If I could go back and do it all over again, that wouldn't be my choice of what to pursue.

No do not get into nursing-there is no nursing shortage-new grad nurses have a 47% unemployment rate and it takes about 1-3 years to get a nursing job (if you can find one)...plus do you know how much an average nursing degree costs? 60-75k because there is such a wait in community colleges most people have to go the for profit route.
Basically, there's no shortage of new grad in almost any field, because there are simply too many college graduates.
It would be a different story if you have a M.D from medical school,though.
I guess anything STEM is considered to have the most "real world usability".
STEM is relatively more useful, but there are simply too many STEM graduates. STEM is overrated because high-tech big companies want excessive STEM graduates to allow them to pay less and be more picky.
Medical degrees are valuable because they don't admit too many students. On the other hand, you can get into an engineering school as long as you are not retarded.
Actually, everyone should go college = college degrees are not valuable, not much different from high school diploma.
