You don’t have to work on Wall Street to earn a fat paycheck.
Several lesser-known jobs, including physician assistant and special agent, have a median annual salary of $100,000 or more, according to a new Glassdoor report.
The jobs search site examined hundreds of thousands of compensation reports from U.S.-based employees over the past two years. It identified the following 11 jobs where you can earn a six-figure salary.
Reservoir engineer
Median annual salary: $143,000
Reservoir engineers attempt to "extract the maximum amount of energy without over-tapping the reservoir," the Glassdoor report says. "In order to fill this role, professionals need a degree in chemical engineering plus experience in a field that is highly technical and nuanced."
Software architect
Median annual salary: $139,000
If you like to code, you’re in luck. These tech-savvy workers make big bucks, and there is high demand for the profession, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Most need a bachelor’s degree in math or software engineering and should know how to work well with others, Glassdoor says.
Airline pilot
Median annual salary: $134,000
Pilots "need to be seasoned managers and savvy communicators who are comfortable with a non-standard schedule," the report says. Commercial pilots usually have a bachelor’s degree, an Airline Transport Pilot certification and a commercial pilot’s license from the Federal Aviation Administration. Some colleges offer pilot training as part of a two- or four-year aviation degree, the BLS reports.
Dentist
Median annual salary: $129,968
Before getting licensed, candidates need to have an undergraduate degree in pre-dentistry or another scientific field, score well on the Dental Acceptance Test and complete a doctoral degree in dental surgery or dental medicine.
Special agent
Median annual salary: $125,000
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. Candidates usually have a law enforcement background or military experience along with an undergraduate degree in criminal justice. Nontraditional and on-call hours are part of the game.
Geophysicist
Median annual salary: $119,380
If you’ve always been interested in nature, this job could be for you. Geophysicists use seismic, electrical and magnetic tools to study the Earth.
Drilling engineer
Median annual salary: $116,500
Drilling engineers can have a lucrative career in oil, gas or water drilling. The job requires a bachelor of science degree in petroleum or mechanical engineering. Candidates should be great communicators and have experience in the field, according to the report.
Regional sales executive
Median annual salary: $103,500
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. |
