What are high paying careers not involving mathematics?

I use mathematics a lot, but my education is tied in with engineering. I have a good paying career, and I know I'll always be able to find a job. That is what matters to me.

If you want to do just math then I would say that you will make more money proportional to what level of education you complete. You could get a job at a college, and there are definitely research facilities in government and private industry. You should talk to a guidance councilor about what is out there now, and what is expected to be out there when you graduate.

My sister is studying statistics, and there were career scouts who actually came to her college wanting to talk to prospective employees in that field. I've heard that CPA careers also pay well, and of course there are bankers. One of my relatives is a former researcher for SanDisk, and he is a millionaire.

He is a mathematician, but he also has background in electronics. I think he minored in electronics engineering. I think your chances are best if you tie in something else with mathematics.

As others have mentioned, statistics and actuary are way above average salaries. With CPA work, it will depend on where you work, if you start your own business, and the location and size of the business. I think the highest paid math careers are the ones which combine math with something else, such as business management, engineering, architecture, or physics.

Those are some examples. Some people will work for large corporations or the government, and at one point decide that they want to start their own business. I know quite a few persons who have done that, including myself.

When you own your business, you have more control over what you will do to have a higher income. There's a number of places where you could work directly, or have your own consulting business and do contract or subcontract work for them. To name a few, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Sandia National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, Chevron Research, Department of Energy, Honeywell, Department of Defense, Chiron Corporation, Varian Semiconductor, NASA AMES, General Electric, Brown Boveri Corporation, Siemens-Allis Inc, and so many more.

If you wish to make a lot of money from inventions and ideas, then you will have to hire a patent attorney to handle your matters. When you work for other companies, sometimes you have to sign papers related to designs and ideas within the scope of your work. If you want to invent something beyond your place of employment, you'll have to be careful and aware of what will be your property.

If you plan to make "high income" from your inventions, you would be better off having your own business and finding whether each invention would be best marketed by others, or by your own business.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
