I wanted to know if any if anybody knows anything about which fields earn a nice salary these days excluding anything in the medical field. In addition to listing which jobs have a future, please include what kind of schooling it requires. Thank you.

Of course, taking an engineering degree requires some aptitude and means real work in school. It also requires and attitude adjustment among unzerer who seem to think that technical knowledge and interest is “Goyish”.
I’ve been a professional engineer for 43 years and have been involved in power projects all over the U.S. and overseas. Besides making a decent living, engineers have the additional psychic income of passing a place like Indian Point or Kennedy airport with the feeling of “I built that!”

A good accountant will earn a lot more than a bad lawyer. And a person who is in a field that they don’t enjoy will usually not be able to give it all he’s got.

Just Google it. They have an occupation finder that’s similar to a stock screener. For instance, if you ask for occupations with a projected number of new jobs of 50,000 or more, a projected growth rate of 29% or faster, and a median income of $75,000 or more, you’ll find there are only two matches. I leave it up to the reader to find what these two are.
