You need some business experience to get a job worth $200k per year. 2. These degrees are only useful in the context of what I stated in 1. An MBA is worthless other than networking. While on holiday I bought a book for $25 AUD that contains the majority of what you would learn in an MBA. I did a lot of the content while completing my chemistry degree so the book is good and better value for money that paying tuition costs/wasting your life. 3. Might as well try selling luxury cars to the rich and super-rich you'd make more money. 4. If you get a few years experience in the army, or a police tactical unit you could qualify as a mercenary. Just remember the danger pay excludes medical insurance (medical is a major benefit of being a soldier in a warzone) and the type of injuries you could receive could be expensive to treat including airlift costs. 5. You could make money or you could blow it all. Really the oil rig option is a good option. The super large money that some of my family members make relates to substantial experience combined with an engineering degree. It takes a long time to get to the top jobs and you may need to wait for someone to retire, or in the current environment their contract to be cancelled. You could take a practical option of having your budget reviewed and calculating the amount you have to make/save/invest to achieve you goal.

Pympede posted:What was the title of the book? I was thinking about getting an MBA but then I realised I mostly just want to learn more about accounting and financial math and that seems like a smart place to start. The Personal MBA by Seth Godin. It has a section on finance which is a basic but effective introduction if you have never studied accounting. That section then goes onto topics covered in economics and management science/operations research. Plenty of other good stuff in there for a relatively low cost book.
