Some colleges offer pilot training as part of a two- or four-year aviation degree, the BLS reports.

It’s not just a job for movie actors. Being a special agent is a high-adrenaline job you could land for a government organization like the FBI or for a private company.

These professionals oversee regional operations and sales for their company. "Regional sales executives are stellar communicators with a knack for spotting opportunities," the report says. "They are always looking to grow their business and expand their customer base."
Nurse practitioner
Median annual salary: $101,600
If eight years of medical school deterred you from becoming a doctor, then you may want to look into becoming a nurse practitioner. Nurse practitioners are qualified to perform physical exams, treat common injuries and illness and prescribe some medications. They have at least a master’s degree in nursing, and some individual states may require additional certifications.
Physician assistant
Median annual salary: $100,392
A physician assistant works under the supervision of a physician to provide medical and surgical services. Unlike doctors, a physician assistant does not have to specialize in one area of medicine and has significantly lower education requirements — a master’s degree or equivalent. Demand for physician assistants is high in rural areas in the U.S. that face a shortage of doctors. 谢谢老师的分享！！
