I'm in maritime shipping. It pays very well, they are always hiring somewhere, and you can see the world but...

1) You should go to school for it to earn a mates license from the jump which is not easy but is doable.

2) You got to be willing to live on a boat for weeks at a time though shore leave is fun because you will basically be saving money while on the boat.

3) You shouldn't be a fukk up because being a fukk up in maritime shipping can and will get somebody killed or jail time. Most likely yourself...

If you can handle those 3 then I would recommend doing it. There are also good paying shore side jobs too, but they are less guaranteed to let you see the world while getting paid to do it.

The Wrong Side of the Tracks
I'm in Weatherization. It's basically a 'Green' occupation which specializes in energy conservation and consumption reduction. I've worked in houses, mansions, skyscrapers, office buildings, apartment/condo complexes, mobile homes, etc. About the only structures I haven't worked on/in are igloos and nuclear power plants. The pay is commensurate with experience, certifications and location. I can earn about $30,000 more a year if I move to California, but the cost of living is higher so I'd only really be making about $5k/yr. more. I've considered Alaska, but I don't like cold weather here along the Northeast Coast and I damned sure don't wanna deal with Polar Bears and wolverines.

When I complete my degree program, I'm gonna try and get a state-sponsored Weatherization Program Director position which pays about $70-80k/yr. or, start my own Weatherization Company.​

Engineering - good
Medicine - good, but you need a license in the country you are going to practice. It just doesn't transfer over without a test.
IT - good, you'll most likely need to be bilingual. They would rather hire local citizens rather than foreigners unless you have a super speciality.
Architecture - pay isn't good, even in the US.
Economics/finance - depends, where you go to school is more important than the grade you get, i.e. you can get a 4.0 from Phoenix University and you are going to work at 7-Eleven as an assistant manager. If you get a 4.0 from Harvard University, you are probably going to make 6-figures at a well-known firm.

Basically, he can tell you "Turn down your home thermostat and save $100 a year and save the environment". Then, he'll spend the rest of the time with ho's and smartphone games.
