5. Video Game Designer ($62,500)

"Video game studios need all kinds of expertise," says Berg. "They would work with a fashion designer, an interior designer--companies like that don't expect the student to have the technology understanding. They're looking for enthusiasm and raw talent."

That's a pretty darned high estimation, I think closer 40,000 is more accurate.

I like it and all, but what I am more concered with is if it floats in the future if you get my drift.

Also, "Berg"[Béhrjh] means "Mountain".
