The High Paying Careers Ranking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One line of profession hands down pays more than the rest: Medicine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to US News and World Report<\/a>\u2019s high paying careers ranking, the top 10 Best Paying Jobs of 2020 are all in medical fields:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"high<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    These jobs have median salaries between $208k and $150k dollars\u2014which, it\u2019s safe to say, are hugely substantial. <\/strong>Don\u2019t worry if you are an undergraduate who is totally uninterested in the pre-med track! The next ten options on the list offer a more diverse array of options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Nurse Anesthetist<\/li>
    2. Petroleum Engineer<\/li>
    3. IT Manager<\/li>
    4. Podiatrist<\/li>
    5. Marketing Manager<\/li>
    6. Financial Manager<\/li>
    7. Pilot<\/li>
    8. Lawyer<\/li>
    9. Sales Manager<\/li>
    10. Business Operations Manager<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      These jobs in this high paying careers ranking range from $170k to $100k dollars a year\u2014less than the first batch, but still enough to live comfortably nearly anywhere in the world. One thing to consider is the amount of time\u2014both in terms of education and work experience\u2014you would have to accrue before you can go on to one of these high-paying jobs. For example, the medical professions all have higher eventual salaries. However, they also require many more years of education, which could also mean many more years of medical debt. Medical schools are becoming increasingly full-funded, but are still not there yet. <\/strong>Not to dissuade you from your dream of being a doctor\u2014quite the contrary, as taking a career in the health professions is one of the noblest things a person can do. It\u2019s just something to think about in the overall equation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The Benefits of Earning Degrees and Experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      In general, the more degrees you have, the more money you make. You can work in business and make a substantial salary, but if you go back to school to earn an MBA, you\u2019ll be entitled to a higher pay in most sects of the industry. <\/strong>Careers on the second half of the list don\u2019t require as much advanced education (save for lawyers, of course!), but they will<\/em> require more time in terms of work experience. To reach a managerial position, you will likely first have to fill a number of smaller roles\u2014such as assistant, coordinator, and support roles. The amount of time it takes to reach a managerial position can vary vastly. In general, it tends to happen quicker if you stay at the same company, especially if it is a company that has a reputation for promoting internally. Once you reach a managerial position and spend some time there\u2014a good rule for any position is to stay on at least a year\u2014you\u2019ll have acquired experience that can be applied to similar positions at a wide range of other businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
