Right now im majoring in psychology but i really dont wanna be a psychologist or major in it, its more like a hobby. I wanna be ****ing loaded when im older and i wanna have a house, nice car, and all nice **** by the time im 24. Im thinking about International business. That way i can study abroad, learn a language, and know how to handle money. How can i get super rich and does my major really matter that much?

Use your major to get the skills that you think would be most difficult to learn on your own. I did this in college and it made me far less "qualified" for most entry level positions for graduates, yet I can say without a doubt that what I learned will make me infinitely more wealthy in the long run. My major was an independent study in business. I choose my own combinaton of economics, international business, and marketing classes.

If I could go back to the beginning of college I would smack my young self around and tell myself to stop partying and engage seriously in some real life business experience. If you wanna reach your goal of having all nice sh1t by the time you're 24 (without being in debt), I'd advise you to work to develop that more grown-up, mature, professional version of yourself that can get out there and sell your ideas to the world. Don't sweat the major. All the real learning takes place on your own time.

If you know 3 different languages, you can usually find a high paying job thats in 6 figures.

A trilingual psychologist?
 

Do not be too easy. If you are too easy to get, she will not want you. If you are too easy to keep, she will lose interest in you. If you are too easy to control, she will not respect you.

Sales pays well for the people who can do it. There are life insurance salespeople who make seven figures a year, working at a job that some people look down upon.

Education will open doors, but real-world experience allows you to excel once the opportunity has been offered.

Well in terms of being "super rich," a standard salaried job probably isn't going to take you there. What does "super rich" mean anyway?

Try using your imagination.

I feel like I'm the only one on this board who isnt going to go to college... Oh well. I personally dont care how much money I make as long as I can live comfortably and happily.

If settling for mediocrity is your thing, then by all means go for it. Makes it easier for the rest of us who want to be stars.

As for me, I'm already planning how to be rich and famous, live in Hollywood, and bang celebrities on a regular basis :D
