What course has the highest average pay to graduates? (1 Viewer)

[Omnidragon]

What degrees lead into Investment Banking? I've heard with intelligences and the ability to exist without a life it makes big money. This is also from my time at work experience.

Is that you in the signature? You should consider a life as a hooker or professional SM queen. I'm sure you can make more than a investment banker who helps people pick stocks. I can help you pick stocks. Lmao

Comm/Law is the old approach. No respect for it nowadays. Sorry to break so many hearts

engineering background is highly favorable these days or so i heard

You can make lots of money from practically any course if you really enjoy what you're doing.

 

[Azarnakumar]

lol wrong

just enjoying what you do will not enable you to make money

working hard maybe
being above average

enjoying what you do will make you happy and motivated (assuming happiness important to you)

sure you have to take risks etc. but knowledge gives the foundation for your endeavours.
take bill gates for example, he needed to have base knowledge to create the microsoft operating system. along with that, he took a few risks and it paid off. would be be have been able to create microsoft without education? would he be as successful today if he didnt take risks? answer to both of these is no.

By the way, I do not think Bill got the knowledge to be a computer billionaire from formal education. If you read the story of his life, its from all the hours he has been playing with programming during his early days. Read the book Outliers. Its a very interesting book. The authoer tries to explains the key to success of some of the most successful people in the world, including Bill gates. A university education is not one of the key to success for bill.

well he did attend harvard unversity for a period of time. but ok, he wasnt a great example. lets try allan moss, CEO of macquarie bank ltd. he was the highest paid CEO at 20 million. graduated from Usyd with B economics and MBA from harvard. would he have gotten where he is today without these qualifications?

Agreed. Those that say university education sets you up for creativity and innovation in business are young and naive. I'd say that the key to building a successful business is not so much having booksmarts, but rather it's employing people that are smarter than you.

Richard Pratt agrees. He made a few lazy billion from cardboard.

Yes, top employees at top companies, with solid education make a lot of money. But education alone wont get you there.
Allan Moss was one of the highest paid exec in Australia, but it took him years and years of hard work, 20 hour days to get there. He probably wouldnt of got there without qualifications. But he didnt get there on qualifications alone.
But I am sure in his company there are many people as qualified or more but will never make even a fraction of what Allan made. Very few people make it to the top. Macquarie has over 13,000 staff but only one guy at the top.
Qualification alone wont take you to the top. All the book geeks out there who study study study and never leave the library may get the top degree, probably lack the social skills and personality to get a decent job. I certainly wouldnt hire one.

But still, I prefer to be the business owner and the entrepreneur with people working to make me money than to be the employee working to make the business owner money. And formal education and qualification's only purpose is to mode us to be employees.

The reason why people do MBAs at Harvard is that they want to network not because they are like "OH WOW MY EMPLOYEE WILL LOVE THIS!"

It's the same reason why high schools can justify charging 60x more than I payed - because of networking with kids whose dad's own Company X they want to work for.

 

[Dr_Fresh]

lol, i never said a uni degree was the only/key thing to earn big money. i said you need it i most cases along with taking risks, creativity etc.

University is as much about networking and building up social skills as it is about the degree.

Its all about who you know and not what you know

i watched something on TED talks yesterday that financial incentives hinder creativity.

but yes its generally true that you can get lots of money if your very good at something and have connections... esp business IT, actuary, trades.

im going for e-business/scams. Thats where tha money is at

 

[thisnameistaken]

if you wanna make alot money just invest, i know people who spend about 10 - 15 years developing a business / investing. Now they dont have to work anymore due to their passive income, but they still do anyway

Yeh, I have been investing for a while now. Slowly building up so one day I too will have enough passive income.

You do not need to be the next Bill Gates or Allan Moss to make money, just need to invest in them

Yea mate heaps of ppl I know (might include myself hahahaha HAHAHAHA) came out with over $1m after uni. Easy stuff. Just invest some random stuff. Even if you're retarded all you needed to do was borrow 70% and put money in BHP. Would've made so much money. It was $20 when I went to uni. Even after this once in a lifetime recession it's still like $38.

All this entrepreneurial bs is crap. 75% of businesses fail after 1 year, 90% fail in the next. If you're an ordinary person you're just going to fail miserably and wonde wtf went wrong. What went wrong was listening to all this crappy entrepreneurial advice on BoS. If you're an entrepreneur you wouldn't even be asking this sort of advice.

I'm Managing Director of a company that sells cookbooks - started production this week after raising $1200 capital through shares. Going to liquidate the company in 2 months with return on capital at 139% pretty easily - it's not very hard to make money in entreprenuership if your not a total twat. I could then claim sole IP over the product and sell it for a few grand or print a few copies out to sell ina move extended marketplace.

Investing is quite simple if you just watch the news.
