If you can handle sitting in front of a computer and coding all day, I would recomment Computer Science. Many times you can enter the job market at 50k/yr.

I, for one, flunked out of the CS program, and after two years of recuperating (1 at comm. col, 1 at Fred Meyer) I got back in school as Food Science and Technology.

I love Food Science becuase it is a conglomeration of many sciences: engineering, chemistry/biochem, microbiology, buisiness/marketing, sensory, and more. 100% placement in the industry, too. I think that's becuase there aren't that many FST programs in the country.

Me, I chose to narrow down my choices for employment even farther, to perhapse one of the more difficult industry niches to get into: brewing. Especially the craft brewing industry, where job turnover is small, and wages are small, and they like a couple years of industry experience.

But the beer is great!
