Best career(s) to choose to amass fast wealth for investing?

Question is pretty self-explanatory. I am currently studying for my bachelors at a mediocre school in Finance but I feel the industry isn't very lucrative (at least early on). I am trying to find a career that has the highest ROI especially considering that I'll be graduating with student loans. Mech, civil, and industrial engineering are currently dying (my mother has masters and has been unemployed for over a year). I don't have the mental aptitude to grasp comp sci. Medicine isn't worth it because of the educational time commitment and student loans you'll end up graduating with. Law has been dying for years to the point of law schools shutting down.

So I ask the BiggerPockets community: What career did you start with before purchasing your first investment property? What career do you recommend students to go into?

Thanks.

This is a nonsense question. If you chase money, you'll never catch it.
