In today’s tough economy it’s important to know not only which
industries are hiring, but which jobs pay well, when you get out of
college. Some professions are more likely to pay top dollar to get
qualified people in the door.
To help you figure out which jobs pay more, EarnMyDegree.com has put
together an easy-to-reference guide of the 11 highest paying jobs
straight out of college. The list can be found at
http://www.earnmydegree.com/online-education/learning-center/11-highest-paying-jobs.html.
Topping the list is an investment banker. According to the Salary
Finder on Indeed.com, an investment banker can expect to make about
$112,000 a year. Although the demand for this job might be declining
due to the economy, the earning potential is still very high.
A software developer comes in second place on the list, making about
$84,000 a year. Jobs for software developers are usually easy to come
by, but continued education is often a necessity due to the constant
changes in technology.
The good news is that many continuing education classes in software
development are available through online colleges or online
universities, making it easier to fit education into an already busy
schedule. Rounding out the top five highest paying jobs on the
EarnMyDegree.com list are actuaries, engineers and network systems
administrators.
A job that made the list, which may surprise many people, is a
teacher. This position came in at number 11, with foreign language
teachers especially likely to make a decent salary. In fact, a
Spanish language teacher can expect to make $52,000 a year, compared
to the average teacher salary, which is about $43,000.
The important thing to remember is that all jobs with high salaries
require a college education and to stay competitive you must have a
college degree. In fact, of the 30 fastest growing occupations, 23
require a degree. Luckily online education makes getting a degree
easier than in the past. By studying at an online college or online
university one can take classes at a time that is most convenient for
them and from any location.
