For many working people, feeling underpaid for the good job and services they provide is a big part of what makes them dissatisfied with their job. We have also tied our job-worth to what our employers pay us and feeling under appreciated is never a good thing. For those who are not feeling the financial love in their current career, here are a few optional jobs that pay pretty darn well. These jobs all pay at least $20 an hour.
Paralegals, also referred to as legal assistants, keep their lawyer's office up and running smoothly. Booking appointments, keeping track of daily finances, assisting in research and drafting contracts are only some of the duties one can expect to perform for an average pay of $23.00 an hour or $49,000 a year.
Computer support is high in demand as the world turns more and more towards relying heavily on technology. Whether you offer tech support via phone at a help desk or run around the office building trying to solve problems, you will be rewarded about $22.00 an hour for your time. That adds up to a salary of $46,000 a year.
Graphic designers are also high in demand as companies move towards the Internet for their business. Finding a good designer to provide graphics to your website or other communication needs will see you pay $22.00 an hour. If you have one on staff, an average salary will pay $46,000 a year.
Once referred to as secretaries, administrative assistants make a cool $20.00 an hour or $42,000 a year for keeping the life flowing in an office. Being an assistant to a company president or executive could even earn you more. Make sure you have your stress skills up to par for this job.
Wanting to be a real-life crime fighter and maintaining law and order will see you earn $25.00 an hour. Most police officers average $52,000 a year after completing a degree in criminal justice.
You can cook your way to the top by becoming a head chef. Taking home $20.00 an hour is great incentive to keep cooking. Becoming a tax examiner, also known as a revenue agent or tax collector also pays well. Getting paid $25.00 to collect unpaid fees and perform audits is good money.
There are many great jobs out there just waiting for you. Deciding on a career change is not always about making more money, but when it works out that way, it's almost always a good thing.
