Default What do you guys do?

well Im currently a marine science technician in the coast guard, I like it, have an associates in environmental science and not a clue what to get my bachelors in... with the current economy and since I like my job, Im probably going to do a career with this. (16 more years)

my question is what do you you guys do and if you dont mind how much about do you make? Im looking for more of a white collar type job thats not the exact same thing everyday. also what training is involved/needed?

I was looking at getting my degree in psychology and being some type of a councilor or something but they dont make crap $$, so if you dont mind what do you do?
