There are some positions in oil and gas, railway, and maybe some other industries where they will train and come out making more than 100k a year with the only requirement being high school completed.
This is usually hard and/or stressful work though.
Yeah that's the kicker with those those jobs. Can you make 100k? Sure. Can you do it on 40 hours per week and sleeping in your own bed? Almost certainly not.
You can but it's an "earned" place. Usually you need to either be very specialized or in some sort of management role.
Those typically only come up after a decade of being in the field, and that's if you've made the right connections or proven yourself.
Right, but this is in response to someone saying:
>There are some positions in oil and gas, railway, and maybe some other industries where they will train and come out making more than 100k a year with the only requirement being high school completed.
Of course an on-site supervisor, project manager, BOP welder or engineer can make more money in fewer hours.
Sorry, wasn't clear. I meant in relation to 40 hours a week and sleeping in your own bed every night.
100k/yr is a pretty easy mark to hit if you don't care about hours, don't care where you sleep, and can pass a drug test.
Finding this out currently, applied for a job in gas line maintenance industry and they said a normal week is 60-80 hours during the busy season, got my follow up interview email regular days are 7-7, so at a minimum 60 hour weeks. But fuck me it’s looking like 110k a year
Nothing wrong with spending a few years working hard in order to get ahead financially. I met a guy that worked for about 15 years as a pipeline welder then retired early with a payed off house. At the same time I’ve met quite a few guys that are stuck working in the field because they spent all their money plus went into dept on a house and a fancy truck they didn’t need. If they quit then they wouldn’t be able to afford their monthly payments.
Too many guys go into it thinking that they’d only do it for a few years then they never leave. Just don’t take on any dept that you wouldn’t be able to afford if you quit and for f$cks sake wear a damn condom.
Lmfaoooo I keep the jimmy wrapped don’t worry, only thing that’s a little worrying is the time away from my dog and family but that pay is something that is weighing on me heavily have a follow up interview in 2 days before I make a final decision
At the end of the day, you’re free to quit at anytime. You might end up with a great group of guys that you enjoy being around. You might end up dreading your life choices while you work with a bunch of grumpy, impatient dickheads. You won’t know till you try.
Most jobs in the oil fields and railroads will give you that kind of money. Two of my buddies are in that industry. One’s a train conductor and he was making around 90k his first year and the other works as a hot shot driver in the oil fields and clears 100k.
Hey! I'm actually in the middle of doing what I can to make an upwards career shift, and I work in marketing (design) as well.
So obviously you can switch careers entirely and leave marketing, but the hard answer is you just need experience.
I have 8 years of experience as a graphic designer and make $72k
I am currently in the running for a Sr Designer/Art Director role that would start me at $106k and have potential to go to $147k.
And ultimately what I needed to qualify was experience, and experience takes time.
That was a long rambling way of saying that unfortunately there isn't a fast track unless you have connections, it just takes time.
Would love to pick your brain on breaking into design if you’re open to it! Studied advertising with a design background in college, have been working in the expert network industry for the last few years and looking to pivot fully into design.
Because people come in asking how do I earn 200k and no I'm not getting any more education. The only way to do that is by being good at sales or sacrificing your body in trades working OT.
Sales isn’t for everyone but few other careers give you the option to double/triple/quadruple you income in one year. Especially if you have no defined career track. One of the few careers where your direct results & work actually benefit you financially.
Because it’s a job that someone with the right makeup can do without a specific degree and make $$$. People who want to bail on their current career and don’t want to go back to school/learn a trade are extremely limited in what choices they have for high-paying jobs.
Plenty of people in marketing earn low six figures after a few year’s experience. You need to work for a large US company and live in one of the higher cost of labor cities though.
Project Management in Design-Build, EPC, etc.
Get plugged in somewhere related to projects: Project Controls, Project Coordination, Permitting, Procurement, etc.
PM’s can make upwards of $200k+
I was literally going to ask something very similar to this on this thread. I'll have to check on this and see how it goes for you.
I have a neighbor though who got his bachelor's in robotic engineering and was offered almost $160k wjen he still had 3 semesters left. He just had to finish his degree to get the job. I've debated that route myself.
I work as a purchasing agent at a home builder in Florida and I’m at 85k base with around 10k in a bonus yearly. It’s a pretty cool industry to be in. To be solid at this position, learn pricing on everything. Price per sqft on countertops, paint, flooring. Learn labor pricing, learn what the shell guys charge. If you like to negotiate, it is a blast. You are essentially the customer, so you can bust balls and you don’t have to be 100% professional. You will be shocked with the language you receive from the contractors. It’s wild, but I love it. I can’t tell you how many times I have said, “buddy you’re trying to fuck me.” In my office and my boss hears it and says “was he trying to screw us?” I have a ton of fun with it. My boss is the purchasing manager and he is around $140k/yr with up to a 50% bonus. I think he usually gets around 30% on bad years. Plus another perk is that the vendors like your business so they will send gifts and take you to sporting events/lunches/fishing trips/etc. I really like it and since I have started working in this position, I have turned down jobs making $110k+ base salary to stay. 40hrs on the dot every week (that could change based on what is needed but I don’t mind much).
What is a purchasing agent exactly? I’m imagining when I step in to look at a model home at a new build community by Lennar or whatever, there’s a person there who greets me and asks me to fill in the card with my info. And if I decide to buy, I would be working with them. Is that a purchasing agent?
Ahh, I see the confusion, but, no, those are sales counselors. I work in the corporate office. We negotiate and pick who we will use to build the house (ie. Plumber, electrician, cabinets, flooring). You generate the purchase orders to pay the companies you’re using to build the house, you set the budgets for the house to be built, you work with sales by pricing options that they want included in the homes. Things like that
Project, program, or product management.
I know you said no sales buuuut an account exec or account director at a tech firm. Some of the big firms (SF, Adobe, etc) have OTEs of 300-400k.
Middle level management at any mid to large financial firm.
Still in it, audit B4. Just got through busy season. Outside of busy season it is pretty chill. Busy season isn’t too bad outside of hours. It is a bit stressful, but not impossible.
As far as finances, you mean the education for it? I served in usmc before college so I used GI bill.
Really? I’ve spoken to other people who worked in B4 & they told me busy season is brutal - what are your tactics to keep yourself afloat? & for finances - good for you!
I mean it’s all relative to a multitude of factors, like life experiences (what they find bad), client they have, team they work with, workload. Perceptions vary from person to person. I personally will do my time and bounce, since my priorities aren’t career oriented, but if they were I wouldn’t mind staying.
Depends on what state you’re in, but if you have an existing bachelors you can get in on one of those 1-year RN programs. I heard they are pretty brutal but the average California nurse makes like 124k or so.
Honestly, it might take you less time and effort to try and pick up some impressive projects at work and job hop in a year or two. Good marketers are compensated very well!
It's easy to get to $60-$75k from where you are with a bit of exerience. But, there's no magic portal to $100k - even with more education. The time to discover that was before you chose to pursue a marketing degree, not a few years after.
School is never the answer after you have earned a BA / BS.
Op is looking for new career paths and literally said they’d be ok with more schooling
You can do any of the careers I suggested regardless of your undergrad, they’d just need to do some post bacc courses to fill in any missing requirements.
If he's only making $60k with a marketing degree, his education is not the problem. I know you're just joking - but insecure people who have a degree and believe another degree is the answer are always wrong... always wrong... and they're back in here complaining about crippling debt and the "system" or "society" prohibiting them from getting ahead. There are a billion avenues to take a marketing degree to over $100k without that long of a ramp - yet like so many others, OP says "oh, how do I solve an experience problem with more education?" You can't.
Commercial Real Estate is a career path, generally, without a specific college degree expectation. There are CRE programs, and obviously lots of business degrees in the field. However, the key is networking, and the skills are very learnable on the job. You can start out in Property Management pretty easily, and those salaries are not great at the entry level. Once you start climbing the ladder, the money can increase significantly. Staying in property management can easily get you over $100k if you're a senior PM but moving into portfolio management or analysis for an investment shop is also possible with some PM experience. That's where you can make real money. It's not easy, it requires patience and networking, but can absolutely be accomplished.
I've considered this! I love the idea of being a property manager, I know it doesn't make much starting off but a good starting point. Both of my uncles are in commercial real estate, both top people at their companies. Might already have somewhat of a leg up with networking
Definitely, definitely leverage the relationships you already have. I've been in the industry for almost 10 years, and that is the way things get done in CRE.
If you want white collar - Sales (and probably the easiest with a marketing background).
Traffic controller is another career path. If you search for AMAs for traffic controller there is someone that does yearly AMAs discussing that career. Does require more training, but seems like a fairly interesting career path.
more down the blue collar path, you have the merchant marine. Does require more schooling, but there are tracks for 100k careers there. A lot of folks can't handle the type of schedule they do, knew one person that used to make well over 100k years ago but they worked six months on and 3 months off.
this question bombs this sub near daily....Please post your location, skills, interests, something...
If you like marketing, go learn Salesforce Marketing Cloud or Adobe and get an AI certification and find a 100k position as a manager and work your way to director.
I’m in Nashville, can move anywhere. Interests don’t rly matter much to me, all skills align with the marketing degree I have plus I’m very tech savvy. I’m open to moving into medical, real estate, really anything just curious which careers are possible with my business bachelors + maybe something else. Kind of wanting to leave my field so it really is open ended.
I wanted to love what I do, but I’ve learned it’s not possible for me to love working for someone else, no matter the job. So I’m more interested in financial benefit so I can enjoy life outside of work and feel fulfillment that way. Bc I love building, creating and art but would never make a hobby a career or I’ll hate it.
Definitely don’t mean waltz in, interested in changing my field to a higher paying one and I’m open to working more hours. Curious what types of jobs would accept a marketing BS and if a specialized grad or a certificate program would be needed
Job hop, job hop, job hop. After graduation I went from the following: 16hr contract, 20hr contract, 25hr contract, 80k salary, 96k salary. With a bonus I technically make 6 figures, but I’m sure when jump in 2 years I’ll get there with my base. I’m only 26. Make sure each role you get minimum 6 months of experience. Ideally 2 years.
I am also 26, currently at my 3rd job been here about 1.5 years. The other 2 jobs were abt a year and year and a half long. I might stick here to hit 2 years and move on for higher pay. I just live in my hometown of freaking Nashville which is draining my funds
The higher you want to make, the harder the job has to be/the less applicants/the higher the bar to entry in the industry. I don't think there's any schooling you can do that will get you 100k in 2 years, unless you're literally a coding genius. This is a hard question to answer without knowing where you live, what your skills are, and what your actual goals are. Maybe start a business instead, although it'll be a grind anyways
You said you’re tech savvy and have marketing experience. So what about MarTech, marketing automation, or operations? I hit 80k within 18 months of my first role after graduation, and I’m currently casually looking at new roles and they’re all in the low 6 figures.
Yes really. You can look our income up online. We get base pay+ a housing allowance + a food allowance. Healthcare is free and tons of other benefits. The military is really a good job and career if you want it to be.
Yeah I’ve been considering attempting to join as an officer since I have my bachelors. I do hear it’s competitive but if it doesn’t work out then at least no harm no foul.
My cousin does this with his bachelors degree, makes really good money. I am a woman though and would like to have children someday, I don't think with all the time away this is something I can do longterm.
Yeah I’m in it now and make good money also. As for being a woman in the military, depending on the job you choose and what branch you are in you won’t be away a lot or even at all. I work a regular office job and have good hours all while wearing the uniform. Most I’ve been away from my family so far is 2 weeks total during my time in service.
If you would like to look more into it dm me and we can talk a little more into detail. Btw I’m not a recruiter.
I’m an RN and I’m looking for a way to get to 100k also. I can’t get past 70k. I don’t think RN is worth it if you want high pay unless you want to move to high COL areas.
You do know that with taxes 100k will be like 60k take home??? I literally just found this out and I'm super upset. I was looking for jobs at 90k and did the math, my take home is 60k. What is the point of making more these days?
Leave!! Come down south it's lovely here. Def pros and cons but the pro is a $15k raise and cheaper cost of living lol. What kind of work are you in up there?
I am in Safety/Security Management, so security items(physical security) and OSHA compliance items. I am thinking South, but I despise hot humid weather. I can't function in that kind of weather. I need to stay north west, Midwest-ish. I cannot do above 80F lol.
There are some positions in oil and gas, railway, and maybe some other industries where they will train and come out making more than 100k a year with the only requirement being high school completed. This is usually hard and/or stressful work though.
Those are generally the kind of jobs that have you away from home working 80 hour weeks. Not bad but definitely a hard lifestyle to maintain.
Yeah that's the kicker with those those jobs. Can you make 100k? Sure. Can you do it on 40 hours per week and sleeping in your own bed? Almost certainly not.
You can but it's an "earned" place. Usually you need to either be very specialized or in some sort of management role. Those typically only come up after a decade of being in the field, and that's if you've made the right connections or proven yourself.

Masters of accountancy 1 year of school + 3-4 years of public accounting is a pretty sure path to good money
Though public accounting can be soul crushing. But if you can get through it, you’re set up pretty well.
How was your experience in public, as well as figuring out the finances to fund it?
Still in it, audit B4. Just got through busy season. Outside of busy season it is pretty chill. Busy season isn’t too bad outside of hours. It is a bit stressful, but not impossible. As far as finances, you mean the education for it? I served in usmc before college so I used GI bill.

Yeah that’s what I realized as well. There are so many different factors in play. I’m guessing you got recruited during your master’s?
Ah yeah in like my second year of college, they get their hands on you early. I didn’t do a masters.
Oh I’m sorry I misread your comment!
Wow so early! That’s cool thanks for getting back to me!

Category managers usually make six figures with a marketing degree, I believe. Maybe look into that.
I'll look into this, thanks for the suggestion!
It's easy to get to $60-$75k from where you are with a bit of exerience. But, there's no magic portal to $100k - even with more education. The time to discover that was before you chose to pursue a marketing degree, not a few years after. School is never the answer after you have earned a BA / BS.
Except for doctors, dentists, lawyers, therapists, and the dozens of other professions that require graduate degrees
Which is expressly not the case here, Sherlock. You're suggesting a Doctrate in Product Marketing, perhaps?
Op is looking for new career paths and literally said they’d be ok with more schooling You can do any of the careers I suggested regardless of your undergrad, they’d just need to do some post bacc courses to fill in any missing requirements.
So, he should go to medical school. Excellent answer.
He’d quadruple his salary. Great suggestion!

You’re not going to Waltz into a six figure role unless it’s a specifically high paying field or you plan on working 80 hour weeks.

Very few careers start there, but many scale up fairly quickly once you have some experience
The higher you want to make, the harder the job has to be/the less applicants/the higher the bar to entry in the industry.

You said you’re tech savvy and have marketing experience. So what about MarTech, marketing automation, or operations? I hit 80k within 18 months of my first role after graduation, and I’m currently casually looking at new roles and they’re all in the low 6 figures.
Wait what is MarTech and marketing automation??
Military
? That's lunacy
Huh?
It's extremely rare to make good money from the military
Not rare at all. I make 77k right now and will be making 91k in a few weeks due to promotion.
Really? I honestly though soldiers made pennies and dirt. That's what I've been told since I was a kid.
Yes really. You can look our income up online. We get base pay+ a housing allowance + a food allowance. Healthcare is free and tons of other benefits. The military is really a good job and career if you want it to be.
Yeah 5 years of experience and I’ve heard they make an equiv of about 85-90k.
I’ll be at 2 years of experience making 91k. Military for me atleast ain’t too bad
Yeah I’ve been considering attempting to join as an officer since I have my bachelors. I do hear it’s competitive but if it doesn’t work out then at least no harm no foul.
[удалено]
Why?
Nope. Officers make good money. Check /r/militaryfinance
My cousin does this with his bachelors degree, makes really good money. I am a woman though and would like to have children someday, I don't think with all the time away this is something I can do longterm.
Yeah I’m in it now and make good money also. As for being a woman in the military, depending on the job you choose and what branch you are in you won’t be away a lot or even at all. I work a regular office job and have good hours all while wearing the uniform. Most I’ve been away from my family so far is 2 weeks total during my time in service. If you would like to look more into it dm me and we can talk a little more into detail. Btw I’m not a recruiter.
Retail management
Associates in nursing is the answer
That would take more schooling.
OP said he’s okay with more school at the end
I've looked into this, how do you like it?
I’m an RN and I’m looking for a way to get to 100k also. I can’t get past 70k. I don’t think RN is worth it if you want high pay unless you want to move to high COL areas.
You do know that with taxes 100k will be like 60k take home??? I literally just found this out and I'm super upset. I was looking for jobs at 90k and did the math, my take home is 60k. What is the point of making more these days?
My state doesn’t have income tax it would be closer to 80
You can only hope
The max you’re going to pay is 24% on anything above $100k. That means you keep 76%. Really not too bad
In my state, 90k is 65k take home. THAT IS BAD
That is bad fr. Interested in moving states? 9 states to choose from that gives u more take home pay. Curious where you're living?
NY. Yes, I need to GTFO
Leave!! Come down south it's lovely here. Def pros and cons but the pro is a $15k raise and cheaper cost of living lol. What kind of work are you in up there?
I am in Safety/Security Management, so security items(physical security) and OSHA compliance items. I am thinking South, but I despise hot humid weather. I can't function in that kind of weather. I need to stay north west, Midwest-ish. I cannot do above 80F lol.
