Career Advice?

Okay, I like studying history and social sciences. But I've heard that you can't get a really well-paying job in either of those fields. I also like Pyschology and Sociology but I'm leaning more towards Anthropology and/or Archaeology. Can anybody please help me with some good solid facts?

    Is money everything for you? All right, money is important. But there is many more things which has the same importance. A job is always something that takes nearly, or more than one third of your life. So it's more important to do what you like.

    And also, if you are very good, in a certain field, you'll make money, refargless what it is. Good archaeologists find job easier and earn more.

    So choose what you like to do, don't care very much about the money. We have only one life, and it's important to live it as you like it.

    You have heard, all old sayings, which are not relevant in the present days. There was time, when only Doctor or Engineers or Accountancy were considered as career options. Presently you may pursue your studies in any field and the field you excel you may pursue your career.

    You can study history and social sciences, and inspire your self to be a Tourist Guide, with Psychology and Sociology you may inspire your self to be Career Counselor or Practicing Psychologist, and with Archeology as well as previously mentioned subject you can always take up teaching job, at any destination.

    You may go ahead with any subject, or all subjects of y our choice and exert to excel in at least one, up to post graduation level, and you will find that success will hug you.

    GOOD LUCK !!

  • You can be well-paid doing ANYTHING. Here are some ideas on what you can do with knowledge in any of those areas:

    1.Write movie scripts/tv scripts/for magazines on those subjects or utilizing the knowledge you have about those subjects - you can get millions, hundreds of thousands or tens of thousands per year respectively.

    2. Get a personality and take any of those topics...become an expert by writing some articles, maybe a fun book that ties in that knowledge with your life...and then get a TV Show like on National Geographic

    3. You don't need to write the movies...be a RESOURCE, an expert that movie and television professionals turn to when they need information about how something happened in history or where it would be likely to find dinosaurs or some aspect of a civilization

    4.Be a psychologist on your own....charge $100 per hour to help people.

    5. Be a psychologist, open a clinic with other psychologists, get paid for your work and the work of others, open branches like mcdonald's under your reputable name that you've built up.

    .....

    Are you getting that all it takes is a little creativity and you can take knowledge on any subject and make tons of cash with it? If you want to go into it more, drop me an email.

    Good Luck.
