I want to ask a non-technical career question, and I would like to be respondent by people with 10+, or 20+(ideally) years of working experience in professional high earning fields( professors, lawyers, doctors, bankers, engineers).
I am facing a dilemma. One the one hand, i am not making enough money, and working in a office job that i don ` t really like( actuary, programmer, accountant). I am thinking about going back to school, and amassing more credentials, but i don ` t really see that much careers with high earning potentials, and high earning potentials is really important to me. This leave me with two careers options, and they are doctors, and lawyers. I am seriously pondering a career in law, and i feel pretty confident of getting into a top 5 law school( by lsat score, strong soft, and school reputation), but the prospects, and account of lawyers in practice seems intellectually null to me. I entertain of wanting to be a doctor, but the prospect of being years in school scary to me, and what is more scary is the prospect that i might not make enough money, or having very little intellectual stimulation. Now, my parents are telling me that they can give me the family restaurant business, and it has the potential of earning at least 20, 000+ tax free per month, but i feel i "bore" about this profession. I am the kind of person that desperately "need" intellectual stimulation. I don ` t really see that much intellectual stimulation from working in a restaurant. If i do opt for a restaurant business, i think i can reach a million+ in saving in 5 or 6 years. I don ` t think I care for most jobs, but if i had to made up an ideal job for me, then it would be a philosopher+ theoretical physicists with potentially of earning 1+ million dollars every 5 years.
When I was young, I wanted to be a philosopher at a ivy, but give up this dream, because i reading of the poor job prospect in the field. On the other hand, i feel i can reach the top of any field, because i am persistent, and resourceful. I have doubts that i would not be making enough money, and have intellectual stimulation when i turn 40( i am 25 right now). For older professionals, would you go work in a restaurant, and earning at least 1+ million every 5 years, or stay in your profession. How important is intellectual stimulation for you?
