Heck, even my Doctoral degree get paid less than #20 coming straight out of school. LOL~

[canucklion]

^ yeah but you've got a much steeper earning potential curve than the rest!

[MadDog]

Most of those jobs are supervisors or managers, and would require a LOT of experience.

[canucklion]

^ I agree with MadDog. Though those jobs don't require a post-secondary degree, they do require a lot of experience to get to that position.

Can you imagine the stress and, for me, very uncomfortable situations with this job? It happens to be the mid listing but you could not get me to do that for 150K....seriously. Go hang out in a nursing home for 15 minutes and you will see what I mean. If a nursing home falls into med facility???

My mom was a realtor. She put food on the table for sure but busted her ass 7 days a week.

[canucklion]

that's a manager's position though, meaning that in most instances, they don't have to do much, they supervise workers under them that do the job
