Have you ever considered how much people around like for instance a garbage collector earn? You’ll be shocked at how much money they earn. The present economic scenario does not do much for individuals who are educated and have a professional career. In fact they earn much less than what a worker with minimum skills does.
Prestigious jobs are losing their sheen more and more now. Outsourcing, technological advances, and globalization have wreaked havoc with the traditional office worker. Most of the white collar workers find that their job doesn’t pay them as much as an unskilled laborer.

Unbelievable but True
Let us look at some statistics. A garbage collecting job is not a career that anyone chooses willingly. But the real fact is that a garbage collector in Newport Beach earns more than what a sales manager does. Isn’t that amazing! And an accounts manager career is thought of highly by many. But when you find that a wine steward earns a great deal more and without having to crunch numbers constantly, certainly you’d opt for a career change. All these data show that appearances don’t count much after all. A seemingly menial job can indeed let you take home a hefty pay check than a respectable white collar job.
The Black Sheep
Technology is fairly to be blamed for this state of affairs. This work force casualization has come about due to technology wreaking havoc over the working class. A similar state has now befallen the white collar jobs. Technology will start dominating more and more, leading to a more desperate situation.
But this can be resolved. A 9 to 5 job is not the only one that provides financial security. There are other ways in which you can earn money and get the financial freedom you yearn for. Having a high paid job is not the ultimate way to make money. There are many creative solutions that do not really need a fanciful degree to earn big bucks. With the online ecommerce boom, there have emerged many bright and profitable solutions that you can use to make money.
Making Money Online
One of the most profitable ways of making money without many qualifications to speak of is trading online. Forex trading online is a profitable option in trading. The size, global structure, and volatility of foreign exchange have contributed to the huge success of this form of trading. The market has a very high liquid format, enabling traders to make huge trades without affecting a particular exchange rate.
For those who are employed and cannot trade in the day, the 24 hour format helps to do it at all hours. Further, there are sites that give a comprehensive guide on the various strategies, tips, and resources from the charts and news to all other tools you need. The considerable leverage present in forex trading makes it an attractive prospect for those who are looking for ways to make big money. In the end, earning money is important and if there is an easier and smart way to go about it, grasping it and getting ahead is the best way to earn and enjoy it too. A very good luck to you!

Very interesting. It’s true some professions (occupations) can earn you a lot of money, but probably not all are too enticing for some of us. Yes, trying to earn a side income online is always a great idea, it can sometimes turn into a full time job / business (my case for instance).

I envy these people because even though they don’t have college degree they still earn more than I do. For us professionals, there are many ways like working from home and earning money online. Since it got popular, I took training for me to qualify for high-paying job. So far, I never regret it. This separate us from those people.

I love this! I live in Dallas and it’s all about status here so it’s so fun to see the graphic! There are so many 30,000 millionaire around here. People really act like they have a ton of money but don’t have much at all. This town is all about ego.

This is true if you sell your intellect to a corporation. I use mine in my own business, enjoying numerous revenue streams and making far more than I ever did when I worked for a company.

Egg donor you say… I’m already a little moody, what could be the harm?
It’s interesting when the jobs are paired up as they are. Submarine cook seems to be the best paying job ever, but who would want to spend their life in a submarine? Sometimes taking the job with less prestige is really the smart financial choice.

Wait, what? 90k is a starting salary in advertising. Totally depends on the agency, but an Associate Creative Director is going to be making 150–225k, a full-fledge Creative Director is making 250 . . . 350 . . . 450k or even more …. so I really doubt the veracity of the rest of these numbers.
Martha @ Marty Thoughts on Life and Money says
I think this chart is very interesting . Also I think its important to factor in that those salaries are relative to the city or state in which they pooled from . Not all garbage truck workers make that much in small city. But its interesting how over time skilled workers make more regardless of education
