People always talk about how not going to the university does not necessarily mean that things are over. But going to school or university still has some benefits. But what college programs end up becoming most profitable these days? Some may say medicine. I do not think so. It is expensive to become a doctor and you might just end up paying your debts a few years after you graduated.

I say information technology or Computer Science. Very in demand and if we look at the world now, we are in the digital era and they are the ones needed the most. Engineering as well is profitable and always in demand wherever you are. Obviously you should pick a program where you excel at and you will be happy at but a factor of choosing a degree to study is how rich it can make you. I guess I am talking about the degrees with biggest ROIs these days.

What else are profitable programs?

You're right while skipping university doesn’t mean failure, going to school still has its advantages, especially if you choose a degree with a strong return on investment. Today, programs like Computer Science and IT are among the most profitable. With the world relying more on technology, roles in software development, cybersecurity, and data analysis are in high demand and pay well.

Engineering also remains a top choice. Fields like electrical, mechanical, and petroleum engineering offer solid salaries and global job opportunities. Finance and accounting are strong too, especially if you aim for corporate roles or investment banking.

Healthcare related programs like nursing or becoming a physician assistant offer good pay and growing job security without the massive time and debt commitment of med school. Data science and statistics are booming thanks to the rise of AI and analytics. Even creative fields like UX/UI design can pay well if you pair them with tech skills.

In the end, it’s smart to pick something you enjoy, but it’s even smarter to know how far that degree can take you financially.
