Whether you’re looking to increase your disposable income to finance that brunch life or you have a truly horrible boss, making the decision to switch up careers is always a bold move. Even if you hate your job, you’re considering leaving a steady source of income and at least some on-the-job knowledge for the great unknown. Will that decision be worth it? Will your new career even be around in a few years? What can you even do with Native American History degree anyway?
Thankfully, Forbes has your back. They just released yet another career list, but this one is geared specifically toward this brunch-loving demographic.

Start polishing up your resume, because it looks like you’re about to get a raise. .

Fundraisers? Also, let me tell you, now is not the right time for anyone in Petroleum.
“Not yours”
All this list tells me is that a whole lotta people are about to get sick and die.
Profiting from that because you already have one of these jobs. PGPM.
I figure I ride out my current job for the next 5-8 years and my boss should be ready to retire. In it for the long haul.
I’m surprised black market arms dealer didn’t make the list. You will always have a job, always.
Also, if you haven’t done the market analysis of the drug trade using Hubspot, being in the heroin market offers the best ROI and marketshare currently. Thanks to Afghanistan and the CIA’s secret black money profiteering system, now is a good time to invest. And you thought they were only going after “bad guys dressed in rags.
Yeah, you can totally do these with a BA in English! Except for physicians assistant, actuary, statistician, biomedical engineer, computer scientist, nuclear engineer, petroleum engineer, therapist, financial analyst…..oh wait…
Engineering did pretty well like it always does.
Yeah buddy
Unfortunately I’m still sitting her regretting not doing an Engineering major.
Elevator installers and repairers, classic career choice.
It’s got some ups and downs, but overall a good career choice.
By the looks of it, it is indeed a pretty uplifting career choice.
Taking the, “…but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night,” mantra a little too far there.
I think you may want to double-check the educational requirements for some of these jobs. Most require specific, advanced degrees…
No sales rep of any sort, huh?
