internet business. Primarly information stuff, my dad has been doing it for about 8yrs now and does pretty good. I'd like to do it as well but I don't have any good ideas for a business

If she can cope with being bored as ----, accountancy/finance is where the money is at. Otherwise, geology gets you into the oil industry where pay is high. Always jobs for more lawyers (sadly).

Mostly i'd go for accountancy, its stupendously dull, but there is work anywhere and if you work for a big financial institution, there's very serious money to be made. Some of the elite hedge fund managers in london are taking home $500m bonuses this year! Your wife will never get close to this, but $100-200k is easy if you work for an investment bank.

The best career is something you actually want to do. Don't get a degree for the money, only to find out that's the next profession to be shipped overseas. Open a business in the local service market.

In the end, all these master degreed nogs will be unemployed and I'll be laughing because you can't ship your house to china to be painted. haha bitches. Pay up.

Agreed.

I could never understand how people think accounting is boring. I have been at it for a few years, and am now learning it in college. Yes there is a lot to know, and a lot of accountabilty, but it is a great career if you have ethics and are detail orientated. The CPA route and payroll are especially good for the paychecks.

its boring as all hell... I get paid well but i also work on energized high voltage power lines, but if your wife is still game with that id tell her to give it a shot

im going into mechanical and civil engineering at Maryland. pays good and I live in within 1 hour of both Baltimore and D.C. so the jobs are incredibly numerous around here.

Thinking about taking some accounting courses so i can learn to invest wisely with my money though
