I gave the exact numbers I put in. Maybe you don't know how to use it right?
There is nothing wrong with being in the military and I'm not trying to put any of you down. I just feel you are overpaid. There are many jobs that are overpaid.
My list:
- Airline pilots. Get a FAA certification, some flight time, boom you qualify. The easiest way is probably joining the military. Delta captains take in $250k a year for sitting in a seat doing a job that is practically 100% automated.
- Air traffic controllers. Stressful job, but doesn't require a degree. Averages over $100k per year.
- Bag boys. Most baggage handlers at large airports and hotels that take luggage at the curbside make $80-100k+ a year... and almost totally in cash, which translates as tax free for most people.
- Real estate agents. While I was in Hawaii, I knew all kinds of people that would get their license and make more on the weekends than they did doing their full-time job. I know this is an up and down market and some people bust their tail to make $50k, I've seen people work part-time making over triple that.
- Wedding companies in Hawaii. They charge hundreds, sometimes thousands, for generic wedding ceremonies on the beach. Their 'professional' photographers are often very lacking and most services are not even performed by real preachers. Yet they have weddings booked 8AM to 4PM every day, earning up to $500k a year.
- Stock-fund managers/Financial advisors. These people always have made too much money for the education and work they do. My sister's fiance is making close to $400k and just moved to a larger city, kept all his old clientel, and could be making double that in a couple years.
- Prostitutes. Top earners at the Bunny Ranch make $1500 an hour for lying on their backs. Do the math.
- Dentists. Orthodontists average $380k a year for working a 9-5, signing off on the work done almost 100% by assistants, and finishing a relatively simple dentistry school + training.
- Motivational speakers. Famous or well-to-do persons travel the country reciting the same speech that someone else wrote for them over and over while taking in a huge paycheck.. some earning millions per year.
- Military. Already commented why.
