What Do You Consider Well Paying Jobs?

What are considered well paid jobs? Saw this question on Yahoo answers and it was one of those…It just seems so obvious, but it really depends on your mindset on what your answer is going to be. I would say five years ago my answer would be doctors, lawyers, CEOs. You know, that kind of thing. Maybe small business owners. Whereas- I mean we’re talking people that had to do a ton of educational work, a ton of hands on, a ton of experience, know-how, risk, and market fluctuations to get the point where they’re, you know, six figures, low-mid six figures. I had a vision that was pretty doggone successful and comfortable and awesome.

Well, now I would change my answer. I would put it as entrepreneurs, business owners, and go-getters. The people that work for themselves, that determine their future, and that manage risk to get the rewards that they deserve for the value that they add to the world. There really is no limit at all, with no formal education needed. It is a matter of experience and trial and error.

It’s just a wild west world of doing what, well not even what you know you can do, it’s just a matter of getting out there and tolerating enough risk and knowing how to solve problems to where you can create solutions for other people that are so valuable to them that they are willing to compensate you for it. And it is when you dip into this realm, where you can see the high six figures, or even mid six figures, with minimal weekly input.

That’s the thing. Keeping your time, getting more income, and being able to move around. And then you can bump up into what Dennis Felix has considered the kind of rich, which is in the double digit millions and higher, and super rich which is in the billions and whatnot. So that is what I would consider a well paid job. Someone who has owned up to doing it all, or at least figuring it out for themselves and getting other people to help them implement.

What do you consider a well paid job? And are you doing anything to get there or work your way towards that path, or the comparable path that you’re interested in? Share your thoughts, I’m curious. Thanks a lot, and if you have any questions or whatnot about that path or just aren’t sure, put them down in the comments I’ll do what I can to answer them either in the comments or in another video. Appreciate it. Have a good day, bye.
