I don't know if this is allowed in the first place, also my first thread here.

I'm in my senior year of HS (next month I turn 19). And I'm shuffling my options of which career with an almost secure high paying job I should study.

I'm between: Medicine, Law, Chemistry or something related to business.
Engineerings are out, though I'm good at math I don't like it.
Also, I'm from a third world country in Latin America.

Any advice is welcome.

GTFO. Look into Canada.

medicine and law are years of additional school and you will incur massive debt and be destroyed psychologically by the time you are 35

go into software dev. 4 year degree. make 6 figures.

Medicine in my country is 7 years plus your speciality. So at minimum it should be 10-12 years.
Law is 5 if I'm not wrong.

But yeah, I get your point. Thanks for the advice.

you're still a shit skin with a faggot accent. If you're rich in Latin America, you're lower middle class in the US. Why would you even consider staying, honest question ? Corruption/robbery/kidnappings.

Medicine and Law are God tier. Yes they demand money and sweat at the beginning but begins to pay dividends as you age and gather experience. By 35, Silicon Valley circle jerks (startup mafia) will throw you out and enterprise tech will be super-boring with all those BS agile cult regituals ans MBS faggots hanging over your head.

Recipe of a compy and statisfying career

Go for medicine. Become a GP, not a specialist. Get a boring job away from hospitals ideally in a clinics settings or open a clinic with fellow decorators as partners. Get through shaky initial period. Start teaching to local meds school / read latest clinical trials and biotech research / invest mainly into Index funds but with your domain knowledge pick some promising biotech / try to own a clinic if you don’t have one / invest in real estates.

Obviously medicine is the best choice if you live in a shithole country. Finish your schooling, find a residency to complete in America, and then enjoy being highly paid with no crippling debt.

That was my original plan. I've already been accepted at the third best med school of my country and I'm gonna apply for a 100% scholarship and also try to get accepted at the best particular one and apply for a scholarship there too.

Most people tell me that I should go to the State University in the capital but being honest I would rather die than going there. I won't get useful contacts in the business side there.

Don't do doctor and then emigrate to the US, you're unlikely to be able to practice. The AMA does a great job of protecting the 30-40% wage premium for doctors compared to similar OECD countries by requiring foreigners to complete a US Residency & then only providing enough residencies for the current round of US Med School grads.

idk if you want my advice (i‘m kinda biased). I just finished studying med. in switzerland last year with summa cum laude (only one in my year).

It‘s time consuming to study medicine but if you‘re not a total brainlet it‘s fucking easy to pass. You‘ll always find a job, you‘ll get a good salary and normies will always respect you.

You need to go to school in Europe, Canada or U.S. country to be taken seriously and I am not denigrating whatever the quality is in Latin America.

Don’t consider a career where u work in a cube

Medicine seems the best choice out of that list.

Whatever you do, stay away from "hard" sciences like biology and physics. You will need a postdoc to get any work and even then the pay is really mediocre. Also stay away from the arts unless you're fine with starving.
