Well, a lot of people appeared so Imma have to answer all of you.
Never choose a degree for money choose something because you like it happines always first you can gain a lot of money but you probably won't like what your doing
And let me tell you this law is very complex I wanted to be a lawyer but I dropped it because I didn't like it so my advice if you are going to do that for obligation better do another thing and if you like to gain money you can do another degree that is not law
That's the problem, the jobs that I really liked aren't an option anymore, and thus, I'm forced to search for something else, Law was a prominent option so I wanted to give it a try.
You know, do whatever feels best for you but know this:
Money alone won't makeyour life good.
If you waste your whole life and thoughts only on getting the maximum amount of money possible, it can turn into an addiction and this happens faster than people think!
And NEVER do unethical things only because they give you a lot of money or reputation/connections.
You need a stable personality / set of values. Or these money-focused jobs will destroy your humanity and soul. You will have the money but won't be able to actually enjoy it because the real YOU will be long gone. And being around too many money obsessed people can quickly poison your thoughts. Don't forget this!
This has happened to some of the best people.
And make sure you stay away from any job that requires fraternity/sorority-style membership for the sake of networking.
Making a lot of money doesn't turn you into a bad person. You gotta think about how to use it.
Don't spend money on things you don't need or are purely for prestige.
Use it to do good, help children/education, help the environment etc .
Ultimately you need to find out whether you like law even a bit.
Forcing yourself to work in a job that you hate with all your heart, will eventually burn you out to the point of depression or even suicidality.
The most important thing in life is to stay true to oneself.
It's not set on stone, right now I'm giving it a try. I'm somewhat interested and thus, if I end up enjoying it a little bit, even if it's not as much as my original dream, I can still work with it.
And yes, even tho I'm in for the money, I still have some ethic values you feel me? I won't harm or do bad to people for some money it doesn't feel right. And my mother always taught me to help people out so I'm definitely using part of said money to help those who need it.
I think you should first decide on what is reasonable/satisfactory for you in terms of income, and then find the most enjoyable profession within that assortment.
I don't believe in pursuing a career solely for the income, but I also think it's something you need to consider. Even if you find a certain job or profession enjoyable, depending on how much income you are lacking, it might not make up for the lifestyle you live as a trade-off for having that as your job.
For example, I know many people who attained very lucrative jobs (such as doctors & lawyers), but because they were only in it for the money, they don't enjoy themselves & they suffer with a very heavy work schedule. However, I also know some people who tried to pursue their lifelong dream jobs, but they ended up having to quit because they simply weren't making as much money as they wanted to be satisfied with their lives outside work.
As I said before, my dream job is out of the map, and talking about the income 10k per month sounds about right imo, I'm still looking for the potential to earn more as I progress obviously. I know some people who are making around 20k per month with said job and thus, it's actually a very good option. Add some extra investments and I'm set for life ngl.
This maybe an unpopular opinion, but I wouldn't necessarily say that choosing to do a degree with the highest potential/income prospect is the wrong choice and it absolutely is ethical. You have been provided with an option and you are the person choosing something that would give you a better life in the future. Not everyone is born with a silver spoon and wanting to move up the food chain is never something that's wrong.
If you are not sure about what you wanna do in life, this is a good option imo since you can still explore and find out what you really wanna do while having a solid back up option in case you like what you are doing at uni. Give your major a honest shot and if you still don't like it, you can explore other options/interests. The key thing is to not slack off with academics at uni and still maintain a good GPA even if you wanna explore other career options/interests. So that you always a good backup in case something doesn't work out.
I mean, I was quite tired of this bs, when I had some hope they shattered it so I basically said "fuck it, let's make some money". And I'm pretty much out of options right now so yeah... If I don't like it I'm not going down that path, I'll probably explore some stuff or go for plan B. With that being said, once I get in the Uni I'm finishing it with the best grades possible (for my limited brain). Abandoning it is a big No No.
I think its a wise decision that the majority of the people takes,so dont worry. In the movies people say "follow your dream" and they always end up making money,but in reality..not all the passions/hobbies can give you a income! So its good to get a good job,and then nobody forbids yoy to live your hobby when you have free time.
Hey, it might not be as ethical as it could be but there's nothing wrong on aiming for a better lifestyle. (I'm living quite good right now, I don't have luxury after luxury but I'm not missing a thing. Sadly, my father is working very hard for all of us and by having a good income I want to help them out as much as I can later on) Life gave me the middle finger; got a job that it doesn't matter what I do, I can't accomplish it so it's my turn to give life the middle finger lol.
