I am currently a 3rd year junior undergraduate student studying business in New York City at Baruch College. I have been very indecisive in terms of what career path to pursue. To be completely honest, I am someone who cares more about the monetary side of a job, one that pays wells; one that is at least six figures. Currently I have not decided on a major yet. My GPA is also on the lower side of the scale due to slacking off during my prior years in college. However, I am set on bringing that up. With all that being said, what do you guys suggest in terms of a career path/major choice for me? What jobs will make the most money? What I have heard so far is that students who pursue the finance field, which is a good 80% of my school, tend to be very successful afterward when it comes to Investment banking and begin making a good amount of money right out of college. My other side of the thought process is going for the medical field. Yes, I know that I should not simply want to go into something like that for the sole purpose of money but it is actually something that I find a slight interest in. I have also been told that doctors do not make as much coming out of college and take a while to make a lot of money. (Also, how come multiple websites online ex.USA ranking and such claims that the top 10 earning jobs in the America all fall under the medical field?) In terms of personality, I am also more for the introverted and quiet type of guy. Will that affect me at all if I do decide to maybe do finance since I know that it is a field that almost requires a lot of networking. Any and all feedbacks/advices are greatly appreciated! Thank you!
