12. Software Architect
This job has been rated as the top highest paying job in the tech world at the moment. Indeed, if you are searching for jobs with the highest earning potential, you will see software architect time and time again.
The median pay is listed at between $128,250 to $132,000 depending on where you search, while a top paying position might earn you $169,000. Again, this won’t make you an instant millionaire, but you will get there eventually.
Not only is a software architect one of the highest paying jobs, but it is also one of the best in terms of overall working conditions and low stress. CNN Money, for example, put software architect on their ‘Best Jobs in America’ in 2015 list. What does a software architect do, you ask? The short answer to that would be that they make design software for various devices.
11. Instagram Celebrity
Take advantage of the Internet, millennials. Do you have an Instagrammable body that you can take advantage of? Can you take Insta-worthy pictures of your lunch? Who would have thought that becoming an Instagram Model could be a viable career option, by the way?!
However, if you can manage to generate an online following, this could lead to a ton of cash and numerous other opportunities. Jen Selter, for example, has appeared in magazines like Maxim. And to think of all the money you could get by doing product endorsements alone. By that, we mean taking a picture of yourself holding a box of hair vitamins. Teatox, anyone?
Do you remember Essena O-Neill? She was a former Instagram model before she, bravely, called it quits because “social media is not real life.” However, she used her stunning good looks and enviable body to get a ton of online followers and said she could have easily made $2,000 for posting a single Instagram picture. Of course, it didn’t end well, at least for O-Neill, but the cash potential for an Instagram celebrity is real.
