Additional jobs that can pay near or over $100k and they don't require an advanced degree. Btw - I see some aspects of CRM desired in these jobs

Ariel lineman for electric companies or fiber optics companies pay upwards of 60+ grand too... 100ish for people with seniority. No degree required - just HS and on the job training, altho these days many with degrees are getting into it because it is a much better deal than most corporate gigs. Secret isn't quite out yet, and you get to work outside. Not a good thing in the rain, but those springtime afternoons more than make up for it.

There are great opportunities in old school union gigs as old timers begin to retire in droves. Currently those jobs have been locked down for so long that young people have not considered them much. In addition many of those who would traditionally apply for those kinds of jobs can not pass a drug test.

It will be a great opportunity.

That's the thing tho... Money isn't everything - to everyone. Can you climb poles or crawl in city sewer systems and fight traffic in your bucket truck for 241.7 days a year? Sure, sounds better than sitting in the cubicle for all of those days every year of your life, but there would come a point when you wake up and ask yourself - Have I learned anything new and interesting doing this job in the past 10 years? Also theres the factor that people view you as a lower member of society because you aren't wearing a monkey suit - or business casual - even tho you are 'smarter' than them financially, because you make more money and didn't have to take out a bunch of student loan scam debt to get there... And to think that some drug addict low life is capable of doing the same job as you... Trade off's I guess. God I hope the economy recovers soon.

What teachers make 6 figures? Maybe tenured profs?

Teachers are paid just fine. They make mroe than 50 grand a year and work 180 days only... I know teachers that worked corporate jobs before teaching and say its the easiest job in the world , and they love summers off. I also know teachers that grew up rich and never worked another job until teaching - those are the only ones that b1tch and complain... kinda like pilots!

I'm very seriously considering leaving Colgan to be a teacher. Commuting for 5 day work weeks is getting really old. That and constantly risking my life flying into places like Altoona and Morgantown W. VA. All for 38,000 a year (which is Captain's pay).

I found a program for CT residents that already have a BA or BS (BA in History here) that takes 3 months and you can be employed by a public school. It costs $3500, while I don't want to pay for another program at least you could easily recoup the cost for this one.

In my research I've found that the average starting pay for teachers in CT is 35,000. They can top out at about 70,000 though that and a pretty stable retirement. Try to find that in the airlines.
