[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi - I majored in history and still make over 250k. I do work in tech but my liberal arts education has never been a barrier there; in fact it's been a huge plus. [/quote]

What do you do in tech that gets you $250K but doesn't require tech education? Sales? Or do you actually know how to code but just didn't go to school for it?[/quote]Product Development/Management. Don't know how to code, don't do sales. Started in tech from the bottom (QA/Design) and worked my way up. [/quote]There are lots of other non-coding roles in tech that pay well and don't require specific degrees:

Product and Growth Marketing, Customer Success Management (can be pseudo-sales and can be very different), Design/Creative Director, Business Development, Project or Development managers (different from Product), and the aforementioned Product Management track. Without a targeted degree you might have to start out in some more junior roles, learn on the job, and grow into those fields; but all of them can easily surpass 250k in base salary at the Director/VP+ level and some at even junior Manager levels if it's at a big tech firm.[/quote]
