7 Jobs Where You Can Make More Money Than A Doctor

What's happening guys? It's Shane here. So generally on this channel I talk about

careers that have higher than average salaries and the reason for that is

because it's generally gonna be a good idea for you to go into a job or a

career that has a good salary because even if you end up being average you're

still gonna be making a very nice income. But some careers have higher

upsides than others meaning the ceiling for the career in terms of how much you

can make is going to be a lot higher. And if you're an especially ambitious

person, somebody who could become a medical doctor or something along those

lines, there are a lot of careers out there that could be really good options

for you. And of course the first career on this list is going to be a professional like button smasher

No but seriously I would really appreciate it if you hit the like button

it does help a lot with the algorithm. Thank you so much. The real first one on

the list is going to be a CEO or a chief executive officer. And basically

what this is is somebody who runs the entire business. They oversee everything

within a corporation or an organization but they don't necessarily own it. So for

instance someone starts a business and you know after 20 years they want to retire, well they want somebody to come in and run the entire organization for

them. This person is gonna have to be exceptionally hard-working and skilled

and sales and leadership and all kinds of other kind of intangible skills and

therefore they're going to get paid a ton of money. And the range and pay for a

CEO of a business is extremely wide and it varies so much. It could range from a

couple hundred thousand dollars a year to in the tens of millions a year. And

this is a great option for you if you basically want to be somebody who kind

of owns your own business and you run it that way but you don't want to start it

from scratch. Now the second one on the list is gonna be just below a CEO

They're gonna have less responsibility but they're still going to have a lot of

responsibility and that's basically going to be a high-level executive. So an

example of this one would be the vice president of a company for instance. Now

they generally aren't gonna make nearly as much as a CEO for instance but depending on which company you're in or which industry you go into, they can

still make a ton of money and they don't have nearly as much responsibility as

somebody who is at the very top. And again the average salary is gonna range

a ton for this career but generally you're gonna see like low six figures to

even up into the millions. And this is a really great option for you to aim for

if you're somebody who has leadership skills, you're very ambitious, and you're

driven but you don't necessarily want to be an owner of a business or somebody at

the very top who is basically on call 24-7. And this one will also be really

for you if you do have an inclination towards entrepreneurship but at the same

time you really want structure in your life. So you want to have that creative

freedom of an entrepreneur but at the same time you want to have kind of like

an overall structure that you can work within. Next on the list is gonna be

software developers and this is a really versatile one and it's one that I

recommend to a lot of people. Now the median for this one is over six figures

a year and I think everybody knows that but there are certain jobs that you can

go for that pay a lot higher than others. There's also certain industries

that you can go into, places that you can move to, as well as companies that you

can work for that again pay a lot higher than others. You know what I need a raise. And if you look at the website levels.fyi you can

see that you know companies like Facebook, Google, etc. they pay their

software developers sometimes north of $500,000 a year. Now on top of that

there's a ton of demand for their work and there's also a lot of perks to the

job. You know Google pretty much spoils their employees for instance. Overall

you're not gonna make quite as much as the previous two that I mentioned most likely but it's still extremely lucrative. Now the next one on the list is

going to be an information technology manager and this one is great because it

basically integrates the technology side of things with the business side of

things and you have to have skills that are overlapping and not that many people

have those skills. And this is sort of a mid-level manager position but you can

still make a really good amount of money oftentimes over $200,000 a year

And with the age of automation coming on technology is a very good one to go into

just in general. But if you also add on a leadership position like a manager on top of that

your skills are going to be extremely coveted by tons and tons of different

companies and therefore you're gonna get paid very well. Next one on the list is

gonna be the good old entrepreneur and I've talked a lot in other videos about

how your chances of success are extremely low for entrepreneurs and you

know there's a bunch of people on YouTube trying to sell you courses on becoming one and they don't tell you that you know there's probably like a

5% chance or a 2% chance you're gonna succeed or if you get into a really good

industry maybe a 10 or 15% chance. And on top of that you have to wear like 10

different hats, you have to be on call pretty much 24-7 in case a client needs

you even in the middle of the night sometimes. And the list goes on. Becoming

an entrepreneur is extremely overrated for most people in my opinion but the

upside is also very high. You could potentially start a company, sell it to

Facebook or Amazon and then end up retiring before you turn 30. There's also

the perk of being your own boss which is extremely important to some people. So it

really just depends on what type of person you are and it's a really great option for some people and I'm sure you know there's entrepreneurs that make

10 million, 20 million, 100 million dollars a year. I think Jeff Bezos net

worth is like a hundred billion a year or something at this point which is just insane. I honestly don't even see how anybody would ever need even close to

that much money but I mean that's just me. Next on the list is going to be a marketing, advertising, and promotions manager and then also a sales manager

depending on what industry you're in. And this is another one where you're basically combining two extremely important skills. You're combining kind

of the business side of thing with potentially like say marketing for instance. Then you're also combining the leadership and management side of things

which is still business but at the same time it is in a separate category and it

is a completely different skill. So again if you are somebody who has both of

these skills together there's just not that many people out there who are able

to have both of these skills and do it at a high level. So your skills will be

very coveted by big companies out there. And depending on what industry you're in

or what business you're in this is sort of a mid-level management position or it even could be almost like an executive position or somewhere in between. But

either way you know you can make a lot of money. A lot of the time it's going to be commission based so you might make $500,000 base and then whatever your

commission is you might end up making over a million dollars a year. But overall this is a really good one to get into and it's especially good if you're

skilled in marketing or sales and then you also want to learn leadership as

well. Now the next one on the list is going to be a hedge fund manager and

basically what they are is they are people who take other people's money and

then invest it for them so that they can get a really good return. So an example

of this would be Ray Dalio or maybe Warren Buffett. And so let's say you find

a client and they give you a million dollars to invest and you make 11

profit. So you made $110,000 off of the million dollars in one year. You would

take maybe 1% of that so $10,000 for yourself and then you'd give the $100,000

back to the client. And this is really good and it's also extremely scalable

because there's pretty much no limit to how much money you can make depending on

how many people you get to invest in your hedge fund. The financial industry

in general is a great one to get into. I've talked about this before in my other videos and this is probably one of the top jobs that you can get in that

industry. But overall go ahead and check out my videos right here. I made them
