10. Entrepreneur/Small Business Owner Highest Paying Job
Median Annual Salary: $52,390
Education Level Required: None
Tired of having a boss and having to listen to someone? More often than not, high school graduates or just about anyone looking to go into business would prefer to be their own boss and manage their own venture. In this case, starting up your own business can be your ticket to hitting it big. Wholesaling, for instance, after having recorded a decent median annual wage is considered one of the most booming ventures entrepreneurs can get into. In addition, the US Census Bureau mentioned in their 2015 statistics that the wholesale trade made a total of $454.4 billion, making this kind of business opportunity more attractive to entrepreneurs. Learning the ropes of wholesaling is a long-term affair, but you only need to have a high diploma or equivalent education to get started. However, wholesaling is just one of many entrepreneurial ventures one can get into to get into business.
