I think you should pick accountancy. Typically all the other positions are working with people and their lives. Since you are challenged in making decisions for your own life and your choice may be swayed by monetary benefits, then you may be better suited to go into a career where you’re only dealing with numbers. I’m not trying to be harsh, the world takes all kinds of people to operate and you don’t want to be a square peg in a round hole.

A little general advice – don’t just go for the highest payed profession. Enjoying your work is far more important. Infact in my experience if you enjoy what you do the money will follow.

Law and Accountancy are probably the best paid, but in my opinion Social work would be much more rewarding.

I’m the exact same,only i’m 21 and left school early due to being young and stupid, i am currently taking my GCSEs at night classes as i have two little boys and i start college in September to do A level math and art & design onto higher education, then it is on to university for 7 years to become an architect!!!
I chose this as it is very well paid and i am interested in this sort of thing, i’m also better on the art side of things then say science for example so obviously you have to do something you have an interest in, something that will be financially rewarding( you don’t want to spend years studying at college and university to be on minimum wage) and something you are pretty good at or have good skills in that field
Maybe you should go to your local college and have a careers interview with a careers advisor, they will be able to help you more with your options
Good luck and i hope you achieve your goals xx

I will go with law, it’s something different to do everyday, different cases to solve, and surely heaps of money. I know someone who got $200k payrise in one year. how is that for some bling bling.hehehe
good luck

HR, its cushy but pays good wack and they are always the last to be fired, because they make the redundancy decisions.
The exams and qualifications are easy because they are all waffly essay based. No real right answers.
Law and accountancy is tough and Hard work.

Highest salary? Best type of work? FORGET THIS IDEA!!!
The best career is one in which you have an aptitude and passion for.
Who says you have to decide on a degree this year? I wanted to be a researcher and an anthropologist from the time I was about 9 years old. I tossed it away because my grandmother told me there was no money in it; that it wasn’t practical. Now over 20 years later my only true passion still lies in researching people and how they lived. It isn’t work to me. I wish I had gone into the anthropology program instead of picking a “safe” major.
If you are pressured to pick a major, you are one more person who has just proven my point that people shouldn’t commit to college just because it is expected of them.

ignore salary…money is NOT everything… do something instead which you like & enjoy.. and you will be rewarded far more.
