You want money? Go into sales. You want to major in French? Get a job selling something where French is an asset (i.e. wine, oil rigs to Africa, white flags (kidding)).
Take a look at the want ads. Around here, they are want scientists with advanced degrees to work for burger-flipping wages. They are looking for nurses and heavy machine operators and willing to pay good money.
I know a couple where she has a number of degrees, including a very specialized, advanced degree. She had a job with tremendous responisbility and really needed to know know some techinicalities. He had a BA in some bullshit and a job selling machinery.
Who got paid more? He did. Why? because he was a man. NO. I mean, because he was in sales. He paid more in taxes than she made total.
Life ain't fair, and doesn't make sense.
