which college degree should my daughter get?

Yeah, okay.
Your cousin got into a career he isn't made for.

Unfortunately OP, and you won't like hearing this (the truth sometimes stings), but it really doesn't matter what she goes to school for since the country is broke and with the continued unrestrained spending and borrowing (money that can never be re-paid) our children have inherited the bleakest future this country has ever faced.

Jobs are being outsourced overseas at a record pace, the wealthy business owners are demonized by the press (who ironically and hypocritically are wealthy themselves) and are fleeing this country for safe havens. Spread the Wealth really translates to Spread the Poverty.

In the coming turbulent times, practical skills will be the most valuable. One poster said "they'll" figure it out in 12 years, so just keep borrowing and stay a "professional student". I wish I had that kind of optimism, but I honestly see it getting worse not better (a lot worse).

Gunsmithing!

My daughter is wondering which college degree to major in. She has taken all the different aptitude tests. They were no help. School guidance counselors were no help either.
She gets straight As in all subjects.
She is extremely talented in piano.
She is leaning towards becoming ananesthesiologist.
But is worried about how obamacare will affect the medical profession.
Please only give positive replies.
Thanks for he help.

There are only two growth sectors in this country.
Law Enforcement or Medical
Everything else will fade away as we go deeper into the Depression.

I have dealings with the oil and gas industry, and i cal tell you there is a serious shortage of geophysicists right now

If your daughter gets her degree in an oil earth sciences, she can write her own ticket anywhere in the world

last I heard, every single graduate with a geophysics degree gets a job offer

within 6 years she will be earning over six figures, and most job openings I see for those with 10+ years in the field are for $200,000K plus

Check out that list. There is also a serious shortage of pharmacists and actuaries (major: statistics) right now, but for my money, I would go with geo sciences...travel the world, gold plated pension, the gold ring

just my .02c

University of Texas, Austin...

Biology, with a Pre-Med minor although it is not a requirement.

Chemistry with an emphasis on Bio/Organic Chemistry

If she doesn't already perform volunteer work she should look into as it will make her stand out when she applies to Medical School

Trust me all of us who work in healthcare are concerned about Obamacare

Law

forget the degree, take that money and start a business.

Stick with a medical degree, lawyers are a dime a dozen. Few lawyers make big money, the market is flooded with them.

Pharmacy Or Vetenary medicine whould be good
