Something that cannot be easily outsourced or else you better be so damn good people come looking for you (IT, accounting, technical writing, testing, and even security are all outsource prone). Corporate America is run by those with a short-term vision focused clearly on the next annual report. Pick a field that requires your presence on location to do it, or go into it planning on competing with everyone else in the world for that job.

Some admin tasks are in the process of being offloaded into cloud environments or handed off completely to hosting companies. The trick there is to move into areas that are difficult to outsource. Security is a good one; so is technical project management. And if there are computers and a network for employees to use, someone has to maintain that. |

My advise, get something satisfying. Best way to do that, is see how satisfied others are with their choices. Then customize to your tastes.

In your case, you don't like math. So skip the engineering and accounting. Looks like MIS should be the top of your list to investigate, then continue down the list until you find something that doesn't automatically strike you as unappealing, investigated, continue. |

Accounts and Engineers don't have the job security and pay scale they used to. We've been importing those people from India, who have the brains but work for half the pay. Ask Publix and Geico about it.
 I'd go Medical. |

I got an MBA and i just sit at a desk. If you makes you feel any better, look at it this way. An ME designs a model airplane (Mechanical Design), a skilled laborer assembles it (Manufacturing/Assembly), and then an EE gets to fly it (Controls/Software Design). As an EE, I spend my days on the shop floor playing with the machines the MEs design. I get to drive, they have to ask me to make their machine do what they want. So, you should really wish you were an EE if you don't like sitting at a desk all day.

Quoted: Quoted: Medical, become a Murse This you can work anywhere Sure, if you have 5-30 years experience. If you're just out of school, sucks to be you. In a lot of markets, it's very, very hard for new grads to get jobs. It isn't the 2004 heydays anymore. And they do import Filipino nurses if a place is critically short. In a technical sense, health care can't be outsourced, but you can still be displaced.

No matter what you get your not going to be able to get a job right out of the gates anymore.
I have two friends that graduated in 10' from KU, one is a petroleum engineer (top 5% of his class) and the other is electrical, they both work at home depot. A lot of companies don't have R&D money right now and the engineer pool is getting pretty deep.
