Last choose something that has a lasting quality. An example is cars. There will always be a need for car repairs, it also pays pretty well since so many cars now come with computers in them. This a job that will be with us for a very long time.

Last piece of advise... sometimes Less means more. Less hours at work means more time for the things you enjoy. Like anime...

Morg, you are so right! Yesterday I watched The Stepford Wives and the movie somewhat revolved around the fact that career people (both men and women) neglect their families because of work, in fact they even neglect themselves. This is something you should avoid doing, Ryoku Slayer, unless you want to end up miserable and with a nervous break down. Yes, money is important but there are more important things. Like family, friends, quality time for yourself...
When I told you to choose a degree that will allow you to earn more money I didn't mean that you should chose something you don't like. If you are like me you like many things so like Morg said among the things you like choose the one that has more advantages than less disadvantages. Computer Engenieering has something that pleases me very much, it will allow me to travel around the world. Even if on business I'll get to travel much. I have a friend who finished college last year and on Monday she's going to leave for a 2 month stay in Taiwan, after that she'll be working here for a few weeks and then she will be travelling all over the world. In my opinion that's amazing! And the good thing is companies here do that a lot. So you see, I'm going to have a job I like, one that pays well and that will allow me to travel which is something I love. It's all a matter of choice.
