Dentistry? What is the job satisfaction though?

Math has high pay + no dealing with screaming kids (unless you do teaching ...)

Or check out these guys resumes. They have like, 1 degree if you add up all their courses. Plus like, a hundred billion dollars.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs

Mind you, Gates was a math wizz, Ellison read "A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks.", Jobs went auditing (US system that lets you go to uni without assessment, just so you learn stuff), and Woz was just good.

If you want money, you have to get into upper management, start your own company, become a consultant, or become an expert in a big company (same as being a consultant, really). And they take skills, not just degrees.

i realy dont get what the buz is about com/law at sydney. I have some friends who do it and they say the top tier students that come out of their with honors get 80k after 6 years, (its not that much). Being a miner in Wa will get you just as much.

some opinions? what the best degree to do if uai wasnt a concern
Some Barristers charge $15,000 a day I think HC justices get something like $300 000 + per year. Before ur even qualified lawyers who dont yet have the practing certificate can get positions paying 57k thats fresh out of uni. Law doesnt peak early like other careers.

That said uf yiu are chosing a degree on what is best for earning money without regard to ability or interest good luck. Most law students who do is soley for the money drop out after 1st year because its hard work and without ability and or interest its very hard to stay motivated.
