But tech isn’t the only place to make millions. The high-paying jobs in the healthcare industry are spread across virtually every field. For example, according to Glassdoor, the average salary of doctors is between $188,000 and $352,000 per year.
And that can go much higher the more you specialize. Even better? About 51% of doctors reach a net worth of at least one million dollars, per Medscape.
With earnings like these, you can invest in the S&P and potentially grow your wealth to millions over time.
Fortunately, because the United States has one of the last for-profit healthcare systems in the developed world, there’s still so much money to be made here. If you’re passionate about medicine, this could easily be you.
You had to know this one was coming. Finance is where the money is.
If you’ve got a solid grasp of the stock market, hedge funds, portfolios and more, there are literally millions to be made in finance. In fact, it’s one of the few industries where you can get rich without a formal education.
According to Glassdoor, the average salary of an investment banker, on the low end, is $273,000. And Managing Directors make upwards of $750,000 a year.
How do these people make so much money? Companies like JP Morgan, Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Citibank rake in serious dough and they’re willing to pay big dollars to the people who help make that happen.
