I feel like most young people aren't diligent enough in discovering a career that will suit their financial goals.
People look at jobs out there and say I should either do finance, accounting, doctor or law. Problem is a lot of these careers have hours that are insanely demanding / not as conducive to having a "life" outside of work.
There are a lot of other careers out there that pay well though, really well. Any of your technical staff at oil and gas shops pay well and probably have better hrs / lifestyles.
Geologists, engineers, etc...
Is your goal to have a bunch of money or enjoy what you're doing? You can do both, and admittedly many of these law / acct / finance people might like what they're doing but there's no way I would be caught dead in any of these careers. Most likely because I am lazy I guess.
