If you’re talking an undergraduate degree, you can earn a BSE, Engineering and work as an Engineer. A BA in Business, or Finance, or Economics, or Accounting is usually a pretty good option. A BS in Chemistry is a good degree to have and there are lots of jobs in Pharm industries, or in Geography or Geology, where you can work for an Oil company. (i.e. GIS professional) A BS in CS or IS (information systems) is a decent degree to have, and leads to jobs in computer industries.
All of these are 4 year degrees, if you wish to go longer you can earn a graduate degree and earn more. i.e. an MBA is 2 more years, a JD is 3 more years, and an MD is 4 more years. (Business, Law school, or Med School) Generally speaking, these graduate degrees are economically viable (they pay themselves back) while Ph.D.s often do not. (Not many businesses hire a Ph.D. in Business as their CEO because of their degree, the MBA is already the gold standard. . . also someone with a PH.D. in medical research makes less than your run of the mill, if there is such a thing, MD doc)
