Heather’s Answer

Currently, I am thriving in my role as an executive concierge at PwC, where I am privileged to support top-tier executives with a variety of administrative responsibilities. PwC, also known as PricewaterhouseCoopers, is a globally recognized network of professional services, renowned for delivering top-notch audit, tax, and consulting services.

Alongside my rewarding role at PwC, I proudly serve the United States Navy as an HR Supervisor. My journey with the Navy spans over 11 enriching years, with 8 years of active service and 4 years in the reserves.

In my position at PwC, I earn a respectable salary of approximately $65,000 per year. During my active service in the Navy, I was compensated with about $80,000, and as a reservist, I receive around $8,000 annually.

These diverse experiences have enriched my professional portfolio, blending corporate proficiency with the discipline of military service.

In addition to my main roles, I also undertake several side jobs and receive VA Disability, making my income structure unique and different from others.

Hi MK! The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes annual reports that include wages by occupational group and by role. This may be helpful to review as you consider average salaries for different professions. Keep in mind that salaries vary significantly by geographic area and level of experience. If you live in a high-cost area and have many years of experience in a particular role, you will likely be paid more than someone who lives in a low-cost area of the country and perhaps is new to the role.

If you're exploring different careers, I'd start by taking a career quiz or talking to different adults about what they do for work - and what they enjoy, don't enjoy, and what skills they need. Create a list of 10 jobs that sound interesting and read a little more about each. Best of luck!

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Report Link: https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm

To use this report:
1. Select a particular occupational group (for example "Legal Occupations" would showcase average wages for individuals in the legal profession, such as lawyers, paralegals, etc.)
2. Review the salary information by the roles listed within that occupational group. This report will not list every role/title, but covers many of the commonly-used roles and titles.
3. As you review, here's what the different terms in this report mean.
"Employment" - shows the number of people employed. Where you see a large number, this often means that this type of job that is in demand.
"Median hourly wage" - this is the hourly wage that's the midpoint for that occupational group or role. For example, if one person makes $60 per hour, another makes $25 per hour, and a third makes $35 per hour, the median is $35 since that's the number that's in the middle.
"Mean hourly wage" - this is the average wage for the occupational group or role. Using the same set of numbers that I listed above, the mean would be $40 per hour.
"Annual mean wage" - this is the average annual salary for the occupational group or role.

Jerome’s Answer

Great question. I started as a delivery driver making $15 per hour.

I was able to turn that into a sales manager job where I made $48,000 per year.

I was able to grow to a director role where I made $70,000 per year.

My last title change found me being a VP of Sales and I made over $100,000 per year.

I think a sales career can be very rewarding, but if you don't hit your numbers, your job could be in jeopardy.

Hope that answers your question.

Patsy’s Answer

Awesome questions! I am a cardiovascular technologist/registered cardiovascular specialist who works in the interventional cardiac catheterization lab (inserting pacemakers, stenting vessels, treating patients with heart attacks, etc.). Right out of school in South Carolina I made $28/hr, plus additional pay for call-back (being called back into work for emergencies), on-call, and overtime.

My degree can technically be an associates degree and can take you a really far way!
