If you are good with numbers, I would say get a degree in accounting. Getting a degree in software or hardware would be an even better idea. Most of those guys have Aspergers and are very unhappy people.They don't expect accountants or IT professionals to be happy-go-lucky people and you don't have to interact much with people. If I had to do it all over again, I'd get a degree and a job in IT. Unfortunately, I got a job in Communication and I've only had sales jobs where I've had to fake it until I make it. Until I lost my most recent job, I'd go to work and make everyone think I was the happiest guy in the room and then I'd go home and think about how to kill myself. It was like living a weird double life.
