Can you have a job with high satisfaction that also pays six figures? What about first-time job hunters? The answer to both questions is, “Yes.”
If you choose wisely.
The jobs environment is getting rosier, at least judging by the latest jobs figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The unemployment rate was unchanged at 3.5% in December and remained near a 50-year low. The labor force participation rate was 63.2% in December, unchanged from the previous month, helped by an increase in women aged 25 to 34 looking for work and/or getting jobs.
The 2019 best job for college graduates that pays over $100,000
Jeff Gillis and Mike Simpson, who operate TheInterviewGuys.com, a site that offers career and resume advice, analyzed the Occupational Requirements Survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which gives information on physical demands, environmental conditions, education, training, and experience, as well as cognitive and mental requirements for jobs in the U.S. economy.
Approximately 64% of pharmacists require no previous work experience in that field, and have a median salary of $126,000 per year, more than twice the national average, and 60% of nurse practitioners, which have a median salary of $114,000 per year, also require no work experience, according to the analysis by Gillis and Simpson and the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics figures.
They looked for jobs in the “sweet spot,” positions not requiring experience and still paying well. “Gaining more experience in a given field can definitely give you the upper hand at your place of employment, especially when it comes to negotiating salary,” Gillis and Simpson said. “Employees could expect to make an average of 66% more when they crossed the four-plus-year threshold.”

Skilled labor is in heavy demand. Too bad so many people don’t consider it. It is not the easiest job. For me, I would rather work in an air conditioned building all summer, but skilled labor is badly needed and pays well. Lots of people should be considering it.
“The medical field has done a great self-serving job of keeping the tap closed down on educating qualified people to do the job. Compared to engineering or law, there are not nearly enough seats in schools to meet the demand of qualified applicants.”
Nursing is one of those fields and in particular in California.
Nursing schools have expanded a 3/4 year program into 6/7/8/?.
3 years ago one of younger female relatives was graduated from a top private High school with highest honors. She made 1 B (French)in 12 years. All other grades were A’s. She got A+’s in every stem course she took.
She was not accepted at any Cal programs. So we advised her and her parents to apply out of state.
She was accepted at every out of state of Nursing with some type of scholarship.
A top E. Coast school offered her a $25k per year scholarship. She accepted is finishing her 3rd year in a 4 year program.

My BIL is a plumber and does really well.
His son went to college and swore he would never change another toilet in his life.
After graduation he worked in the business world.
After being passed over for job opening or layoffs, corporate politics or crappy bosses he went back to work for his dad at age 31 and is happily changing toilets and making more money and no worry about offshoring or layoffs,

Good looking girls can do real well in almost any type of sales.
Have you ever heard of the term booth bait?
It is when you hire a pretty young girl to hang out in your booth at the convention trade shows to attract all the guys.
The only bigger crowd I ever saw at a trade show was when Roger Clemmons was signing baseballs at the Northeast Retail Lumberyard Convention in Boston back in the late 80’s.
Want to be successful? be moral, be reliable, be trustworthy.
My friend owns an truck parts distribution company, which he started 35 years ago. At maximum, his managers are high school graduates. So what advantages do they have? They are not dummies, but above all, they worked hard, they were reliable and they were trustworthy.
They have been with my friend for 30 years or more. He pays them very well, gives really great benefits, and he’s given them ownership shares in the company. AND he’s appreciative to have such trustworthy and capable staff.
“Good looking girls can do real well in almost any type of sales.”
I work in employee benefits. When presenting a proposal to a group of business owners or CEO’s, the insurance co’s send in female field reps to present the plan and answer questions that literally take your breath away because they are stunningly beautiful. Drop dead gorgeous and smart as hell.
Those women have the male decision makers stuttering and stammering and turned into putty in no time flat.

True, but the salary doesn’t include fringe benefits, like getting free meals from restaurants, or the ability to “liberate” drugs from criminals and then resell them tax-free.

You rotate thru several internships. Preceptors at Hospital and retail pharmacies mentor students and even assess them and provide teaching.
There is always money to be made if you are willing to get your hands dirty. Plumbers for instance. They can make more than engineers.

My sister's a pharmacist. If you want to practice in the U.S. you need a Pharm.D degree.
The free lunch is the prerogative of the restaurant, and not a given at all. Like any profession there are bad apples within the group. However, the bad apples are dealt with if they are exposed and caught. It is not a rampant practice though, as you apparently believe it to be. The larger the city the more bad apples you may expose, but percentage wise it is still a small percentage.
