I know, I know. Many of you are
thinking, "What?!?!?!" But as crazy as it sounds, some of us chose
our college classes based solely on the fact that there were complex, 30-page
research papers due at the end.
If you’re a
left-brained/right-brained type who loves the science of research and the art
of writing, consider a career as a medical writer. You'll definitely need a
bachelor's degree and in some cases, potentially a master's. But keep in mind
this is an entry-level salary, and once you get a couple of years of experience
under your belt, there's even more potential to cash in.

What better place to spend the day
than the library?
Librarian duties include maintaining
the library’s books and other materials, scheduling library activities,
managing library services, and helping visitors find and use materials. If you
love books and enjoy helping people expand their vocabularies, minds, and
worlds, this job could bring you happiness and a nice paycheck to boot.
The majority of librarians earning
this amount have gained their master’s in library science, though a combination
of education and experience in the field may suffice in some situations.

Call of Duty, you’ll have a good answer. Research!!
