Desirable Job Titles

I've just seen two job titles that I want. I saw 'em on a blurb from AIM news:

Insurance Actuary - they assess risk potential & assign value to said risks. Median income: $90k a year. Top 25% income: over $100k a year.

Computer and Information Research Tech - invention, design, & troubleshooting possible problems with both software & hardware, as well as predicting what people will want from their electronic devices in the future. Median income: $80k a year. Top 25% income: over $100k a year.

An actuary needs a bachelor's degree - in what I don't know, the blurb didn't specify, & then must complete a series of exams to gain professional status. For the computer research, also a bachelor's degree.

I could probably do a bachelor's for $100k a year...

(Edited for reality: Actuary is not going to happen. The bachelor's degree preference is in Economics, an actual Actuarial degree, or Mathematics. Me, get a bachelor's in anything involving advanced math? No way, no how. Not to mention the ass-load of certification exams all revolve around advanced math & statistics & crap like that)
