The Best Paying Jobs of 2014
The Best Paying Jobs / Careers of 2014. Hmmm -- seems like you need a college degree (probably an advanced degree) to get those high paying jobs. I wonder where "Photographer" and "Model" fall on that list? Aug 26 14 07:55 am Link I guess they missed the whole IT industry. MANY IT people make more than your average doctor or lawyer. Average presales engineer for an IT manufacturer makes around $130k. An average account executive for a hardware manufacturer makes around $150-200k. We have two or three reps which make 7 figures. I've been in a presales role for at least 17 years and have an associates degree. IT is a little different than most industries in that you don't have to have a degree to succeed. (not that a degree won't help accelerate your earning potential) Aug 26 14 08:06 am Link It is not surprising at all. I was wondering why they did not include the raiders in Wall Street. Their annual income are often measured by ten of millions.  Aug 26 14 08:06 am Link FlirtynFun Photography wrote: I noticed the same. I'm in Cyber Security, employers are desperate for experienced people in my field. I could probably get a 15-20K raise if I looked for another job and haggled. I like where I am.

By the time you'd finish college a lot of the stuff you learned would already be obsolete.

I was out of the storage industry at one time right after 9/11. 3 years later the basics were still the same. A protocol was added, drives were bigger and faster software had progressed, but he basic principles still applied.

I had a quarter life crisis and decided I'd be fucking miserable despite all the money so now I'm a starving artist. Aug 26 14 10:52 am Link So basically almost all healthcare and then those that cover their ass when they screw up (Lawyers) Aug 26 14 05:43 pm Link |
