1.) Sales Associate
When you are an entry-level sales rep or account manager, your earnings won’t be excellent. You’ll likely be earning between 25,000 to 35,000 per year in base salary, but commissions will help supplement your income. However, sales managers have a truly excellent job, but it is by no means an easy position. However, the room for advancement is top notch, and if you pursue a master’s degree in business, you could align yourself to become a vice president of sales, where there average salary is 125,000 per year. If you are in sales, work hard and study, because you could end up making a great income.
2.) Risk Analyst
Risk analysts help protect an organization when the economy isn’t performing well, especially when they have skin in the game. You could be allocating emergency funds for your organization, or helping out with a multitude of other tasks. You’ll start out in an entry-level role earning between 50,000 to 65,000 per year, but risk professionals usually work for large companies, which means that senior level management roles will become available if you get your masters and keep moving up. The Chief Risk Officer for a large company can earn millions of dollars per year. It’s a serious and high powered job.
3.) Financial Analyst
This profession is similar to risk in terms of upward mobility. You follow a slightly different path, as your job will deal more with financial analysis, predictions, and visual display of data. A finance or accounting background is necessary. The Chief Financial Officer can make an excellent living, often times earning millions of dollars per year.
4.) Copywriter-
Once you get your foot in the door running marketing campaigns, the opportunity for advancement is endless. It helps to get some experience at a smaller company, but as everyone knows, there is big money in advertising for large organizations such as Budweiser, Coke, Pepsi, etc. If you can become a marketing manager for a large organization, a six figure income will soon follow.
As you can see, if you follow a strict career path and focus on your education a high income position will come to you. It’s not going to happen overnight, and sacrifices will need to be made. However, you’ll be happy when you can afford all the things you’ve dreamed about your whole life.
