I'm thinking of going back to school but don't want to choose a career that will pay poorly. How do I find out what different types of jobs pay?

The salary/remuneration for a particular job is the market value for a particular profession and designation at the city/town where the office is located. Job postings at websites like Monster, Yahoo HotJobs and Careerbuilder carry information about salaries. The Govt Dept of Labor, (www.bls.gov) Bureau of statistics has information about median salaries for different professions and details of additional compensation offered. Other online resources are salary.com and payscale. Your salary will also depend on your educational qualification and how you handle your career.

go on department of labor's web site ... there you will find what careers make what money. However.... you will need to consider the location of where you are thinking of working. Best bet would be to figure out what you like and then go with it.

But I have to tell you that you could have a job making Bill Gates or Donald Trump money and hate your job. You could also have a job making $10,000 a year and love you job. Bottom line, a good paying job doesnt guarantee happiness.

i truly do no longer care how a lot you're making nor even care a lot about my "way of existence". those are female concerns. in case you want little ones, i'll allow you to recognize that you're making a intense mistake if you're planning on organising your high quality of existence in protecting which include your joint luxury salaries. you ought to pay the expenses on what he makes and develop your lives with what you do; be it artwork and produce it better funds or something better classic. that delivers the liberty to opt for on what to do which include your occupation and your motherhood. in case you position your existence-kind such that it calls for you artwork, you eliminate your selection.
