    -Petroleum engineering
    -Actuary
    -Statistics
    -Software engineer/developer
    etc.

    It all comes down to supply and demand

    Need to start in management and work your way up. Can be done with a variety of degrees, followed by an MBA and a ruthless attitude.

    The million dollar question, op. it's been asked millions of times by millions of people.
    But the answer always remains the same... no one is going to tell you ;)

    Like the taxi drivers of years ago who were cleaning up before the plates devalued over night. But ah sure, officially they were all 'barely getting by week to week' after putting out 90 grand buying one.

    Is that like being a fuel injection technician like the young lad who works in my local garage?

    1. How long do you want to work for?

    2.How pretty are you?

    If your answers are:

    1. A few years.

    2. Very.

    then you don't need a degree - just a good doctor.

    Not your ornery onager
