10. Surgeon, Even Better Than A Doctor
We mentioned a list of the highest paying jobs in America overall, but what about the top paying jobs in 2016? Just for interest sake, according to Forbes, being a surgeon is the most lucrative this year, with a median income of $357,192. Luckily, many of us are well-skilled in this area from the hours spent playing Operation as a child.
This is followed by a psychiatrist, which brings in a median income of $207,153 a year. With America being in disarray this year, a trend that is expected to grow for at least four more years, we expect this career path to experience a lot of growth in the future.
Coming in at third place is a military general, bringing in $205,114. Not too shabby. Again, all of these jobs will not make you millions immediately, but you might have a pretty fat bank account after ten years or so and possibly even sooner if you don’t go on a spending spree and get yourself something like, oh, we don’t know, three Bengal tigers and a trainer.
9. Blogger
Blogging is not dead yet, even if the discontinuation of Google Reader a few years ago may have signalled otherwise. In fact, Business Insider says that starting a blog is one way to generate millions of dollars, even in the year 2016.
They gave the example of Scott DeLong, who started the blog ViralNova and was able to get 100 million readers every month within a relatively short period of time. With Google ads on every page, his monthly income ended up being in the six figure range after only eight months before he eventually sold off the blog for a ton of money.
Sure, blogging won’t necessarily make you an instant millionaire, but once you have enough readers, you might end up with a ton of cash. If you don’t believe us, just Google “How to Make Millions Blogging” and you will generate articles by the likes of Entrepreneur and Huffington Post showing you how to do it.
