Major - Business, Economics
Chartered Financial Analyst,
Pay: $70,300
Location: Doesn't matter because it is mainly research and can be done anywhere. Doesn't require customers.
Education: A college degree with major in business or economics.
Personality: People must be good with numbers and understand most parts of how a business is run.
Options Trader
Pay: $192,000
Location: Pay does not vary but to trade options one must live in San Francisco, Chicago, or New York because that is where all the trading floors are.
Education: Helps to have a college degree but to trade professionally one must pass all of the tests to become a licensed trader.
Personality: Must be very good with numbers and quick calculations in ones head. Also must be able to handle making and losing a lot of money everyday.
Private Business Owner
Pay: Anything is possible
Location: Anywhere will work but a wealthy area will probably work better.
Education: Business school would help but none is required
Personality: Must be strong willed and able to work a lot of long hours.
I like that you already have a sense of what you want to major in, and how each career requires someone who is good with numbers. It sounds like you know what you're talking about and you're able to perform the tasks that each career requires. Good job.
