Best High-Paying Career Options for University Students

Hey everyone! I’m currently in college and trying to figure out what career direction to go in. I want something that has really good earning potential but also fits my lifestyle goals.

Here’s what I’m looking for in a career:

  • Ability to earn $200k+ within the first few years after graduation
  • Something that won’t be replaced by automation in the future
  • Long-term potential to reach $1M+ income through promotions or career changes
  • Good job security
  • Opportunities to eventually start my own business
  • Work-life balance with under 65 hours per week
  • Minimal programming or heavy technical coding work

I’ve been researching different options like management consulting, corporate finance, business development roles, cloud architecture focused on AI implementation, and various startup opportunities. Some people say tech isn’t reliable anymore for the long haul.

What careers would you recommend that check these boxes? Any insights from people working in these fields would be super helpful!
