Fun article on Xfinity listing the Top 10 Highest Paying jobs you can get with a High School degree. Check them out:

10.  Boat/Water Vessel Captain (I guess there assuming you might captain a submarine) – $64,000 – $117,000

9. Gaming Manager (think Pit Boss Vegas) – $66,000 – $116,000

8. Detective/Criminal Investigator – $68,000 – $119,000

7. Elevator Installer – $70,900 – $101,000 (Milk-a-what!? Who knew)

6. Web Developers – $75,000 – $119,000

5. Nuclear Power Plant Operator – $75,600 – $119,000 (yep, that’s right Homer Simpson was banking)

4. Police Chief – $78,000 – $123,000

3. Construction Manager – $83,000 – $150,000

2. Software Developers – $87,000 – $133,000

1. Commercial Airline Pilot – $101,000 – $139,000

For my money I can think of 3 that they completely missed from their list:

1. Drug Dealer – easily 6 figures, maybe 7 if you got some street game

2. Professional Athlete – sure there aren’t many jobs, but it can pay well.

3. Recruiter! (Holla) – Say what you want, but a good headhunter can make some scratch!

Have a great week.
