What do you mean other route?
Going to school for computer scince. However I am thinking of switching to automotive mechanic...
Building and programming computers is an easy task for me, at least. Already built 4 so far, including the one im using right now. Did my first one was i was 11. Game development/design should be a breeze.
Its all relative to the degree and the teachers.
I work public accounting. I am a CPA. If your into that kind of thing I would recommend it, the future outlook is good. I work hard from January to April 55+ hours a week. Then summers are a breeze of only 30 hours a week. Salaried at 55k and usually bonus is around 5k. You will start out over 40k right out of college. Not bad for 4 years of college, but I know they have changed the requirements for the CPA exam to needing your masters. How much you like it depends on where you work though. You do your 5 years in public accounting and make good contacts, once you have the experience the typical CPA will step into a controller job making six figures.
The only thing I'd change is going to an expensive private college. Student loans are horrible.
The above implies that you have two directions(routes, paths, avenues, roads, ways) you can go in life as far as what your career will be. This is what I was referring to.
Also a CPA and formerly big 4 public accounting. Depending on where you live the pay can be very good. I came out of school making over 50 and was at 70 in 3 years although that's when I got out (didn't intend to get out so early, but life happened and it was the right move at the right time). 5 years typically will not get you a controller position though, at least not in a decent sized company or a public company. 5 years public though will get you six figures. i'm currently doing sec reporting for the company I work for, pretty interesting and the hours are much better than public (although my public hours were more like 80+ for jan/feb). I still put in the occasional 18 hr day here and there. My longest was probably 20 while working on an ipo. not bad considering I know people that have done 30+ hrs straight at work in big 4 - that's insane
Wow, I'm surprised after all the comments, nobody else is going into the medical field.

That's my passion man..... currently im a foreclosure specialist and i hate it, before that i was chef but i got young kids right now so its not ideal for me, but once they get older im going back into it, I feel the same way about the Culinary field.
