Just stumbled down a career rabbit hole and found something interesting. Apparently there are legit 27 jobs that require a 4 year degree where people are actually making six figures, not just the usual suspects everyone talks about.



The wild part? Management roles are crushing it salary-wise. Computer and information systems managers averaging like $159k, architectural and engineering managers at $152k. Didn't expect those to be at the top honestly.

Engineering is predictable though—petroleum engineers, aerospace, computer hardware, all in the $120-130k range. Makes sense. But there's also some random ones like art directors hitting $100k+ which surprised me.

Tech side is solid too. Software developers, network architects, security analysts all clearing six figures with just a bachelor's. Data scientists and actuaries making bank too.

The thing that got me is how many of these jobs that require a 4 year degree are actually in demand and supposed to keep growing. Like it's not just about the money, these fields are actually hiring.

Anyone working in any of these? Curious if the salary reality matches what the stats say or if it's location dependent. Also wondering how many people actually know about some of these options when they're picking majors.
