What job is better and higher paying?
Asked by carrie b
Out of, Accountant, Property Manager, Personal Finace, Teacher, Architect, Purchasing Manager? Why? What are some jobs better and higher paying than these?
A:
Best Answer:
What you get paid from your job is what you put into it. A driven person with a ph. D may get paid much much higher as a professor (teacher) pulling 150k in salary and 100k in side consulting; whereas a lazy "architect" can be stuck doing drawings for the rest of his life at 35k/year.
and job titles are only job titles, if you excel at what you do, you WILL GET PROMOTED to a better job title and better pay.
bottom line is, if the company has advancement opportunities, you enjoy your job, and you work hard, you can make MUCH MUCH more money even if your title is a trashman compared to a lawyer (own your own garbage collection fleet vs. county law clerk)

Carrie,
It's kind of hard to answer this - you can go onto the major job boards and compare.
Teachers & Property Managers are probably on the low end of the scale - but the others vary quite a bit.
Is this something you are trying to decide?
If the only thing that matters to you is making lots of money - get your MBA. Sales is GREAT if you have the personality for it, but lousy if you don't.
Electrical Engineers make more money (on average) than any of the career fields on your list too - but personally I'm not good in math.
Best of luck.
