[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't go to law school - the ROI isn't great.

My personal route is to be a hustler myself. Climb that corporate ladder, start your own business (wisely), whatever. I have a communication bachelors degree but make well into 6 figures 10 years out of college because I have been strategic about my career. I found needs and filled them in a way that set me apart from others. I didn't just look for a job, I looked to solve problems for people who are in positions to pay me more. Setting aside outliers and crooks, the only way to really make money over the long term is to serve others well. It's easier to serve others well when you care about what you're doing.

I also started saving early and saving raises. When you start out with a low salary, you don't miss it if you save the vast majority of your raises. You can always increase lifestyle but it's hard to reduce it later.

And, assuming you're not already married - marry well. I don't mean marry rich. I mean marry someone who won't wreck all your hard work, has similar values about work and savings, sees money and the future the same way, etc. Not helpful if you're already married, but for those who aren't - regardless of their income or earning potential, who you marry is one of the most important financial decisions you'll make in your life. Choose wisely. [/quote]
