Let's remember that the vast majority of jobs are non-technical and held by people without college degrees. Most of the middle class don't have college degrees, and of course very few have technical jobs.[0] My point is that the range of possibilities is immense. Nobody could possibly answer your question, especially without knowing more about you. Here's some general advice from a stranger on the Internet: 1) Self-knowledge is most important, IMHO, to career choice. Learn what you care about, what inspires you, what you like and don't like, what your strengths and weaknesses are, etc. Most people have a poor understanding of these things. 2) Based on that, embark on a career in something you love and which suits you well. It will take plenty of time and effort to get traction and build 'career capital';[1] it will seem impossible to get your foot in the door, but be patient and persistent and use the time to acquire skills and contacts - you will be very busy later. You might as well invest that effort in something you love. That way, later, when a contact calls you with a business idea or you come across some great opportunity, it will be to do what you love instead of something you merely endure. 3) No matter what you do, some people will tell you it's wrong. You can't please everyone, and they really don't know you the way you do (see #1). Ignore most advice (especially from strangers on the Internet). ---- [0] A quick search of formal education levels didn't find anything but I did find that only 40% of middle-class students who start college get a degree, so the number with degrees is very likely lower. http://money.cnn.com/2015/03/25/news/economy/middle-class-kids-college/ http://money.cnn.com/2015/03/25/news/economy/middle-class-ki...
