10 Jobs In Demand That Pay $100k+

you

I love that I’m majoring in IT and management (masters).

If you have an great piratical idea or two, bypass college and go for it!

Great advice from someone that uses “an” before “great” and cant spell “practical” correctly. Thank goodness an English writing course is still required to graduate college.

No, he spelled “piratical” correctly. I agree with him. You don’t need a degree to be a pirate. Just a sturdy ship, a loyal crew, and an great piratical idea.

College can be so overrated at times. You go to school for four years and practically learn how to work for someone else. The problem is college is not geared towards empowering the individual to be his own boss, to be a trailblazer, to use creativity to to solve complex issues, or to possess entrepreneurial spirit. Companies these days do not hire just college grads- they employ problem solvers! So if you have the determination, and skill to market yourself, by all means, go and get it!!

After the word “someone,” you can’t say “that” because someone is a person, not a thing. Therefore; you should use “who” instead of “that.” Also, you said “cant,” which should be typed as “can’t.”

Thats what education does to you. You get so involved with what you know that you lose the big picture.

I’d love to see nursing staff, fire and emergency workers on this list.

Can’t.

All B.S. jobs. When everything grinds to a halt, a lot of good these jobs we be, more morons running the show, that they don’t know anything about ! ! !

I have to completely disagree with this statement. I am a problem solver and I do have determination. I’m the type that goes home after work and does the research that is needed to solve a problem and then uses that knowledge the next day to get my work done. As a result, I often get things done that the Electrical Engineers that I work for can’t do. However, when it comes to most companies looking to hire that “new Engineer”, it’s the “college grads” that gets the jobs. The “problem solvers” with the high school diploma can’t even get the interview that would allow me to “market myself”.

Of course, beginning a sentence with a single word followed by a semicolon show’s him who’s who. Oh, that’s sarcasm by the way-completely unlike Khaled calling jdperon an object. Now I’m being serious (or do I have to spell it out for you?).

recent grads are cheaper, that’s why they are recruited for many jobs

Very interesting that everyone is an expert here on why people hire who … credentials would be nice to see if you are making these claims.

What this doesn’t tell you is that to get a Psychiatry degree you have to go $600,000 into student loan debt. My doctor has claimed bankruptcy. Sad. But he loves to help people so that’s what he gets.

It doesn’t take an expert to notice a pattern Matthew. When I apply for 30 positions and 28 of them tell me (in their politically correct way) to go away unless I have a degree, that kind of says it all. First hand experience is all the credentials you need sometimes.

I can’t speak for all hiring managers, but at my place of business we allow for equivalent experience. This typically means employment time equal to that of the college degree.

It is not degree, it is not entry level experience that gets you the job. It is being able to understand typical 3 stage interview process for any white-collar job.

1st step is sending resume. HR are people too who are advised by hiring managers to get potential candidates. To make their own job more effective, they use screen out method. They spend less than 10 sec/ resume. They look for reasons why candidate is NOT suitable. They invite only those candidates for interview that could not be screened out. After completion of resume screening, HR invites about 10 candidates/ posting for interview.

2nd step HR interview. Same idea as 1st step- HR is short-lists about 3 candidates / posting to meet the hiring managers.

3rd step Hiring Manager Interview. Managers are very busy people, they normally work 50-60 hours/ week and do not get paid overtime. They hate when people waste their time or mislead them. They have worked with people for many years and know all tricks that people can pull on them. They are trained very well on how to talk to every single personality and how to spot clues when candidates are talking non-sense (ie. if the potential candidates starts unvoluntary fidgeting with their fingers and avoiding eye contact, it means that they are unconfortable with subject and don’t know much about it). They want to hire people that would make their lives easier not harder. This is when you sell yourself what you can do for the company. They need to feel that you are easy to work and that with minimum training you would be able to make their lifes easier.

I hope this will help you guys understand job finding process and to get the job that you are searching.

Strongly disagree. It’s what one choose to do with that they learned that makes the difference. I know degree holders who are entrepreneurs as well as people who came through the ‘school of hard knocks.’ Everyone is different.

Everything is a risk in life, with or without a college degree.

Ummm You can’t erase your student loan debt through bankruptcy.

Exactly! Bankruptcy won’t change a thing. Almost all doctors end up with that amount in debts, but most of the still live very comfortably. Your doctor probably mismanaged his money in a big way and has credit card and private loan debts that got him in trouble,not government loans. If that were the case, he wouldn’t have filed for bankruptcy because it would change nothing.

B.S. jobs? Physicians and dentists? Makes no sense and neither does your sentence. It doesn’t sound like you are in the position to call other people morons. I really don’t know what you are trying to say, but it sounds completely opposite of what’s true.

I am in IT. I would not hire an Mid to Senior IT person without a college degree. Maybe to do low level jobs like helpdesk or office systems work. No engineer, sys admin, or other highly skilled IT employee.
