If your parents were anything like mine than you were advise to go to school and get a college degree in order to get a “ good job,” to become financially stable in this economy. Pretty much the same tale that Robert Kiyosaki preaches in his book entitled, Rich Dad Poor Dad. The thing about going to school is it wastes so much time but it can pay off. Most likely a college graduate will end up with and average job making between 40,000 to 60,000 dollars a year. There are a few jobs that at first hand you wouldn’t think paid as much but they actually do and with or without a college some of the jobs are worth the time and effort. Recently, a report was gathered by CNBC listing the top jobs that pay $100 or more per hour. According to CNBC, the list goes as following: Under Water Welder $900-1200 hr; Anesthesiologist $101.80 and hr; Commercial Pilot averaging $120.00 hr; Tattoo Artist $130 hr.; Arbitrator $130 hr.; Orthodontists $99.13 hr.; Freelance photographers $100 hr.; Interior Designer $100 hr.; “Part” Model $ 100 hr.; Life Coach $100-$150 hr.; Message Therapists (private) $100 hr; Political Speechwriter $100 hr. Now, some of these jobs do not require a college degree, which goes to show you can be financially wealthy in this world without an education. But, school is ultimately the route to take to gain the tools necessary to flourish in many careers although some odd jobs such as the ones listed above can help you stay afloat with the economy and above average. Sometimes the award is giving to the person with the most experiences, who knew a “ Part Model” could make more than 20.00 hr, but people are willing to pay a great amount for things that are hard to come by such as a hand model in this case. Many of these jobs for instance, like an Under Water Welder or a Commercial Pilot pay a price for the job they perform regardless of the pay. According to CNBC, pilots spend on average 360 hours away from home, which could be straining on a marriage. Also, being an Under Water Welder is a very dangerous job that requires long hours. There will always be cons and pros but just know that in order to take a career with one of these $100.00 an hr jobs and live comfortably something must be sacrificed.
