A closer look at what it takes for graduates to earn six-figures
Those high median salaries and low experience requirements come after a hard slog in college and, in some cases, graduate school. “Pharmacists, for example, must obtain a doctoral degree in pharmacy to enter the workforce, plus have passing grades on the Pharmacy College Admission Test, and other benchmarks even to be considered.
High-school teachers and special education teachers were the top jobs that most often required no previous experience (91% of those jobs, respectively). But annual salaries for both jobs hover at just over $60,000, according to the BLS. Police patrol officers were No. 3 on the list of jobs requiring no previous experience and have a median annual salary of $65,400.
I know some people who never graduated college and make right at 7 figures a year and have been for decades.
Grade School Principals make around $100/year.
That's only true in major cities. But the cost of living is much greater there as well, which is why this figure is on the very high side.
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.
College degrees are dimeAdozen now.
