You are often told from a young age that you should follow your passions when choosing a job. This is a great option for anyone who wants to do what they love for the rest of their life. However, a lot of time, it doesn’t lead to a huge amount of money. If you want to make an average wage, then it is absolutely a good choice. 

There are people however who don’t work to have fun. They work to make money, and as much of it as possible. This gives you more financial freedom and stability in the future. But how do you get to these high paying jobs? What are they? If you are interested in a job that is going to be nice to your bank account, you may want to check out some of these options. 

Healthcare Administrator

A role as a healthcare administrator is a great choice for anyone looking to make a difference to other people. Besides the healthcare administrators salary, the job provides other benefits also. The job offers great growth potential, and those getting into the role with a masters degree will earn great amounts of money. 

Actuary 

Being an actuary will see you take on a role in accounting. It combines aspects of accounting, business, and statistics. Their main duties include analysing risks for insurance companies and banks. So, it’s easy to see why it is such a high paying job. The job is always in high demand, and there are never really enough actuaries in the market. This is due to the fact it is a very challenging, mathematical niche. 

Surgeon 

Surgeons have perhaps one of the most stressful jobs in the world, so they are more than entitled to their high rates of pay. Their job literally consists of saving lives. They are usually the decisive factor if a person lives or not. This is why it takes between 10-12 years to become a fully trained surgeon. The demand for surgeons is so high, the unemployment rate is basically 0%. 

Psychiatrist 

Psychiatrists, just like other doctors, tend to be very well looked after in the finance department. The average psychiatrist earns on average just under $200,000 a year. They have to go through years of training to become a fully qualified professional. A physiatrist approaches mental health as a component of physical health, making their practice slightly more similar to a medical doctor than a psychologist. 

Computer Network Architect 

As the digital age continues to grow, so do the job opportunities it provides. Perhaps the highest paying tech job is that of a computer network architect. As businesses rely so heavily on communication, that is where their need for this role comes in. They essentially design data communication networks, which they then connect to vast cloud networks. It requires years of studying and practice as it is a very complicated role. The average salary of a computer network architect is roughly about $115,000 per year.
