Do You Know Where the High Paying Jobs Are?

4/4/2009 | 2147 views

If you do not have a particular career in mind but simply want to find the work that will pay you the most, there are many options. In general, the people in the highest positions of a company are paid the most. That means you can virtually choose any field of work and spend years becoming more experienced and education so that you can increase your worth to the company, and continually improve your position within the business. Over time your pay will increase. Ok, so the above is possible but it can take a long time to get there. Do you have the patience to wait many years to achieve good money from high paying jobs? You do need to have patience but you can take some shortcuts by getting into fields of work that initially pay more. It is well known that careers that require a lot of study initially often don\'t pay too well in the first few years. careers like accounting, IT, chef etc all require you to take up junior position with the idea that you will gain experience and knowledge, and then you will progress to higher paid positions with more responsibilities. So what are some high paying jobs that will pay you well right off the bat? Sales are one field that has no limits. If you get a job that is based mainly on commission sales then you are essentially in charge of how much you earn. Car sales, real estate sales, even retail sales can pay good money if you have the skills to deal with people and convince them of your products. For that reason you must be a great talker and have a good business and marketing sense, without being sleazy or untrusting. A good salesperson will always have a place in a quality company and will be well paid. Then of course there is the option of starting your own business. You can then have control of when you work, how long you work and exactly what you do. This might not be a high paying job right away but potentially it can be more lucrative than most other jobs. High paying jobs are everywhere, it just takes some imagination and patience to attain them.
