Jobs you thought paid well: We work jobs for a number of reasons, but it’s not called a “job” for nothing. You are performing work for money. Many jobs you know won’t pay for a second house or extravagant vacations, and other careers sound like they would, but actually don’t. This list contains the jobs that you’d expect to pay a lot, but don’t.

There is little consistency in what jobs pay or don’t pay. This list includes high profile positions, jobs that prolong the lives of others and bow ties. It also includes jobs that require a lot of schooling and very long hours of work. Benefits are not factored in, but in many cases are also below expectations.
A few jobs just missed the list. Surgical Technologists work next to the Surgeons that perform risky procedures and often save lives. If they don’t do their jobs well, the Surgeon can’t perform his job well. They make an average of $45,000 a year. Now, Embalmers are a strange group that you would think do a job no one else wants with financial reward, but they are only hauling in $50,000 on average. Then there are the reporters (oh, the poor writers) who go out and get news and report it. They bring in on average $45,000 a year.
A lot of the jobs listed are noble professions, but the salary is low due to job application saturation, supply vs. demand or alternate options for that particular product or service. Next time someone tells you they are a Marine Biologist you can still be impressed, just know they aren’t swimming in hundred dollar bills. Here are 15 jobs that pay less than you thought.
15. Head Chef – Average Salary: $40,000
Prior to chefs being on television every night this wasn’t an envied job. Head chef’s work long hours, work to exhaustion and get low pay with few benefits. Since the celebrity chef boom the work hasn’t changed and neither has the pay or benefits, in fact, in some ways it has gotten worse because now there are more people trying to become the next Anthony Bourdain or Guy Fieri. Even worse, many are going to culinary school, adding another expense to remain a top candidate for the best chef positions. For a top chef or senior chef in a chain restaurant you can expect an average salary around $40,000, of course there’s often overtime pay which is great only if you don’t die from exhaustion.
