Good Paying Jobs

[Reventon]

What are good paying jobs besides medical jobs such as doctor, surgeons, and anything in that general field.

[Kreij]

CEO's of major corporations get paid pretty well.
A little more info would help in what fields, experience levels you are looking at.

[Reventon]

Fields in business like Real Estate. Kind of hard to narrow it down because I'm not entirely sure which fields pay well. CEO is a bit far fetched. Only so many companies in the country let alone ones that are big enough for different branches.

[JC316]

Define good paying. Being a title researcher for an oil company can pay big quick. A friend was making over 100K a year with it. It's a bitch of a job though. An ASE master Mechanic can make upwards of 80K a year. So yeah, define high paying.

[Reventon]

High paying would be something like $80k+.

[Namslas90]

[Polaris573]

Underwater welder on oil rigs.

Mechanical, electrical, industrial, or civil engineers.

Colonels and above in the military.

To make that much money you're going to have to get some type of education or do something dangerous. In the case of the military you would have to get an education and do something dangerous.

[big kumara]

School administrators and business officials/finance officers. You'll need a master's or PhD at that level, though.

[DanTheBanjoman]

Bank director, prostitute(or gigolo) and time traveler. In no particular order.

Either you need a lot of education or you need to risk your life.

[DrPepper]

Those tended to be high paying jobs from what I read on the interwebs. Also saw people in charge of network security make $100k+ a year.

[Kreij]

Network security does pay well but you have to really know what you're doing.
If you go in as a consultant and set up a security wall for a corporation, and it fails, you can be financially liable for damage.
If you get hired by a company as an employee and your setup fails, you will most likely be out of a job.

Most high paying jobs are in the cities. If you don't care for ciy life (like me), you get paid less. Sometimes considerably less depending on the area. There was city not far from were I live who was hiring an IT manager. They wanted someone with a Master's degree and were willing to pay as much as $23,000/year. I lol'd.

I don't care for city life. I really want to do Real Estate but the way the economy is now that would be an unwise choice. Then again once I graduate college it may be different.

My dad's friend (who is also my the dad of my friend) has his own real estate business with his mom and a few other people and he did very well before the economy crashed. He had a nice 340-acre farm in Georgia that we would visit a few times a year and it was amazing. He eventually has to sell it for about $1 million or so. Also had a small house on it. He also has a few other properties and lives on 10 acres in a home he had built a few years back.

If you get a general business management degree, it can lay the groundwork for many different fields. Gives you a lot of options, especially if you throw more schooling into the mix. Like an IT degree with the management degree.

I couldn't even live from that. That's what you pay an 18 year old.

Also, if you want to reach for the stars, one important step is to GET CONNECTIONS, they normally serve as shortcuts, and the more the merrier.

You get a lot of connections through real estate.(▲)

I thought about it a little and thought maybe I could go to school, get my degree, and work for my friend's dad. It is his Real Estate agency, so I'm sure if I prove myself he'll hire me. I've known him and his son for a good while now. Who knows, maybe I'll take over the agency ones he retires.

[Polaris573]

You should get a degree in finance then.

You mentioned in another thread that you used to be from St. Louis. If you still live in a state that borders Arkansas (MO, OK, TX, TN, LA, MS) you can get in-state tuition to the University of Arkansas. The Sam M. Walton College of Business is in the top 25 business schools in the country, it's an excellent value.

Check it out.
