Well I did search for it on google, but all the results seemed a bit generic, so I figured I should ask here for a better opinion

As far as for an ideal job, I would prefer less schooling, an easy life, less stressful, high paying, and something respectable

Doctors work really hard, for long periods of time, and they don't make a lot of money in comparison to other professional in business, politics, etc. who don't work as hard as doctor do.

If you don't care about medicine at all, and is only the money that concerns consider other career paths

See I am not disagreeing with you here about doctors but the bolded is not true. I don't care what you do, if you want to make a lot of money you will have to work your ass off. It is just that OP has to figure out in which field his interests and abilities intersect.

Don't know where people got the idea that getting a business degree or working on wallstreet=instant and easy $$$. Majority of business people are going to be making 60k a year....

The people I know that actually are making 100k+ with a business degree are smart as hell and currently working as hard a resident.

You could become a gigolo or find a sugar momma/daddy. There's no schooling involved (at least not in the traditional sense), you could make a lot of money and have a low stress and good life. As for the respect part, it's the oldest profession in the world.

Also consider actuary or statistician. Good money, no stress, no shame.

How about pharm? What else gives good pay? You see, some people say money doesnt matter, but for me, growing up in a household where money was always an issue, ive developed the personality where I want money, im not a bad person, just my life has led me to this

OP, here is a good thread I would recommend reading:

http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=3860592

Yes, it's from a running forum, but there are a few good responses in that thread. The OP of that thread also seems to have the some of the same questions you do.

As others have said you need to decide what interest you. Do you like science? Literature? History? Politics? Working with people? These are some basic questions that can help narrow down choices. Trying to pick your career based on end results like salary is a flawed system. For one thing there is no certainty that your projections will be accurate. More importantly, achieving success in a field requires passion a dedication that comes from actually liking what you do. Even if you can find a job where you get payed 100K+ without really being interested, I'm not sure it would be worth the trade off of being miserable for 50+ years.
