no one would trust a long haired Mexican.
And those numbers are not exactly right because they don't include tips and overtime and bonuses.

I cut my hair bob. And dark skin doesn't necessarily mean I am mexican. Rhinehart is German.

ya like bartender was on there but those guys can make some money with tips. It should figure out based on gross income.

Anesthesiologists make shitloads, but their insurance is soooooo friggin high its not even funny. The income listed for them is inflated due to the fact they pay out their ass for insurance.

ski patrol/lifeguard was one of the lowest. ski instructors make a good amount of money - rich people will tip hundreds of dollars sometimes.

ai traffic controller has the highest stress of any job, you literally have thousands of peoples lives in your hands every day, i high doubt you wan that job, it's not that great of a job just because of what you have to go through everyday. oh yeah, and im sure your liability is through the roof.

the average wage for harbor pilots is between 200,000 - 300,000 that probably didnt make the list though becasue the field is too small

and i bet you would have to make so many quick desicions and have to be "on" the whole time your working basically no down time, or time to just go do w.e
Posts: 5422

no the average is around 67-70. Some do make a lot of money though but as an average for people who have completed the merchant marine training and are harbor pilots it is not the same.

bar tenders make alot considering they dont have to go to school or anything. im not comparing it to the highest paying jobs that require a college degree.

i didn't look through the list, but for a class last year, i had to look up jobs to do with power and energy (name of the class) and i ended up picking windmill engineer/technician or w/e, and the starting salary was close to $80,000. u get to be outside, and most likely travel to some nice places, all while helping contibute to alternative energy.

who cares what the highest and lowest paying jobs are
as long as you love your job, and you can live on the salary, then that's the best thing you can find
i'd rather live happy and have an average income then hate my job and get stressed all the time and earn a ton of money

What if you loved your job and made a lot of money.
Your logic seams like an excuse to be unmotivated.
But to each his/her own.

No, I do not think that's what she was getting at all. If you loved your job and made a lot of money, then more power to you. And if you love your job and make an average amount, how is that an excuse to be unmotivated?
More like if you loved your job and didn't make enough money to survive. That would be unmotivated.
