Well-paid & easy-ish job?? HELP!

Lol, i'm sorry if anyone posted this before but i'm either blind or stupid, i found no such thread and well, here i am then.
Unlike other people, i know what my dreamjob is. In fact, i fantasize about it every day!!! Problem is, it doesn't exist in the "real world" :frown: so i guess i've got to get Something to pay the bills. What i am looking for is a job that will give me above average payment in most english-speaking countries (because i'm sorry guys but i am NOTTTTTTT not not not going to continue living in UK)... but is not something ass-difficult or such... or overly boring. So no labs, hardcore sciences, or medicine stuff unless psychology is suddenly the new money-tree... how does architecture sound, actually? Well, either give me some info on architecture or give me a good career suggestion...
Thanks in advance ._. ANSWER ASAP DAMMIT CAUSE I'M APPLYING TO UCAS SOON!!!

PS - do not come with suggestions that require a lot of memory-capacity (once again, no medicine!). For reasons beyond me, my short term memory is very dodgy and dooms me.

unless you are a professional football player there is no way you're going to make lots of easy cash without putting in the work/time.

People get to the top because they use their talents to the better - discover what yours are and use them (the exception of course being professional football players...)

i didn't mean FILTHY rich, nor did i mean "an idiot can do it"-easy. i meant something above a bleeping storeclerk's salary, something that a uni degree can lead to and not leave you wondering "why the hell did i waste my years and money on This? i'm effing poor." Something above average, not a damn superstar salary. i'm not that greedy. If you think prositution is a great job, you can try it yourself ^^ i didn't mean easy like that either. You know what, sorry if i sound mean but i was asking a serious question... even if my tone wasn't serious. So please, if you haven't got an actual suggestion, a REALISTIC suggestion, do not post and raise my hopes. And batty, i've got a bad memory, not a bad brain. i Didn't expect an elevator, for god's sake. i truly thank you for not spamming me, though.

Have you considered teaching the way wage is around average to start with but it does go up :biggrin: its challenging but rewarding as well.

:smile:
Well, I doing a pharmacy degree, it's a 4 year master and at the end of it you can get a starter's salary of around £16K. It's a tough degree so far, but then it's a 5 year masters compacted into 4 years. You have a pre-reg after your 4 years, after which you do a final exam and if you pass you are entered onto the pharmacy role at the RSC :smile:

the best plan.... work bloody hard whilst your young so you can take it easy in a few years time with whatever career you go into

What are your skills/what are you good at? Everybody has different likes and dislikes when it comes to careers - you're the one who's going to have to work in a particular field for the rest of your life. If there was just one amazing job, everyone would be doing it.

Maybe research some different courses on UCAS/university websites and see what appeals to you the most.

Nothing in this life is easy... don't knock it till you've tried it, you'd be surprised. However there are things easier than others, doesn't mean its easy.

For e.g., a football player is hardly an easy profession... same with a bean counter, the stuff you have to go through just to get the ACCA/ACA, whilst working... immense stuff.

Ok now we're talking... thank you! More constructive stuff :yy: and yeah sorry, forgot to mention. Well.. i speak like 4-5 languages so i guess i'm good at that, i'm passable on math, i'm kinda good on arty stuff... drawing, photoshop, shapes...n such. Which is why i asked how architecture sounds as a career. What else... i've got some music talent, am good at analysing people and situations, umm... sucked at labs, as mentioned i'm not too good at remembering some things (especially the random things like um. chemicals.) How does criminology & psychology as a degree sound? Promising future or not? How about building surveilance? (just ran across the last one i've never heard of it before) Thanks for the suggestions, once again :flowers:

yeah accounting is good.
i did it for work experience. all you as soon as you get to work is open a pile of envelope, enter some numbers on the system, print a few reports, put then in envelopes and teh rest will be done by someone else.
but it gets boring quite quick though.

Try doing the Stamford test on the UCAS website, it might give you some idea of what you might enjoy doing.
