who make over $100K what they did and what kind of experience they had. I honestly loved the transparency from them, so here are 19 salaries from 19 different professions.

National Geographic

1.”Bookkeeper – $120K, no degree. Just 12 years working my way from admin assistant, learning on the job, and progressing with the same company.”

— 33, Melbourne, Victoria

2.”International school teacher in China – $159,000. 10+ years, Bachelor’s in Education degree.”

— 42, China

3.”College professor – $120K. I got my BS and MS, did a year-long (unpaid) internship, and passed the credentialing exam. I worked a few other jobs, then moved into academia, where I’ve been for 11 years.”

— 39, Rhode Island

4.”Clinical Director of a healthcare agency. I’ve been a Registered Nurse for 15 years and in leadership for five years. I have a BSN degree. Basically, it took 10 years of bedside nursing, two years of moving up the ranks, and two raises to be over $100K/year, and I barely am. People think nurses make a ton of money, and we really don’t, especially in FL.

— 45, FL

5.”Nurse anesthetist – $216,000.”

— 38, Birmingham, AL

6.”Creative Director – $165K. I’ve been in advertising for 12 years. No undergrad, but I went to a certificate program for graphic design for two years. It’s a great career option for someone who is artistic or creative and doesn’t want a super corporate job.”

— 35, Atlanta

7.”Project Manager – $140K. Concrete construction, no education, accepted challenges as they presented themselves.”

— 53, River Falls, Wisconsin

8.”Nurse practitioner for hospital medicine. Salary currently is $121,800 in a very HCOL area. I graduated from nursing school in 2010 and spent years at the bedside before starting my master’s degree, which was a prolonged pursuit for various life reasons. I have been a practicing NP since 2020. I completed an advanced practice fellowship to expand my knowledge base and hone my clinical skills. I would do it again, but it was a massive pay cut ($40K) after already practicing. I’ve been with my division since 2022, and I’ve steadily made about an $8K increase every year after a significant pay increase after completing the fellowship. I work in academic medicine, so pay will always be less but my quality of life (I roll PTO into my schedule so every month I have at least seven days, sometimes more, off in a row while still being able to plan for vacation and get approved time off), access to ongoing education, benefits, and retirement are all top tier.”

— 43, Denver, Colorado

9.”Architect – $135,000. Been working in the biz for 40 years. Five years of undergrad to get a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, one year to get a master’s. Three years of internship, and an architectural license in New York (a week-long series of exams). I moved to California and had to take a supplemental exam to get licensed there.”

— 63, California

10.”Retired Army Officer. My pension, disability, and social security put me over $100K. I served 22 years, have three degrees, and traveled the world. After the army, I worked in heavy industry for 20 years, and now I work for myself. I own a small business and choose my own schedule.”

— 64, Las Vegas

11.”I’m an Industrial Safety Professional. I’ve been doing it for about 10 years in various industrial settings (mining, oil, gas, and power generation). The pay is roughly $110K starting and goes up from there, depending on the company you’re working for. It’s pretty light work as long as you don’t mind the public speaking/meeting leader aspect. Incident investigations can be rough and stressful, though. No formal schooling for the role, just sort of fell into it. Lots of colleges offer industrial hygiene or occupational health degrees that would be beneficial in the role.”

— 33, Wyoming

12.”I’m a travel physical therapist making between $100K–$120K for a two-year contract. I work for a company with over 600 outpatient clinics, and they have a high turnover with plenty of new grads, but the pay is some of the best in my field. I have a Doctorate of Physical Therapy, and this is my first job post-grad school.”

13.”I work at a large university as the director of a medium-sized program and make $106,000. I have a bachelor’s, a master’s, and am working on my doctorate. I have worked in higher education for over 15 years. I didn’t make good money until accepting this position three years ago. The first 12 years were rough and I paid my dues. Working in higher education has changed so much; I wouldn’t recommend it anymore.”

— 40, NC

14.”Scrap crane operator for a steel mill, have been operating the crane for about two years now, but have been working in steel mills for seven. Last year grossed $110K, and that’s with a GED.”

— 33, NY

15.”VP, Legal – $199K with a 25% bonus target, which has been paid out over 100% for the past two years. I’m the sole in-house counsel of a software company, so their de facto general counsel. I’ve been with this company for four years. Prior to becoming in-house counsel (and getting promoted to VP) I worked in contracts management positions for a variety of larger corporations right out of law school. Definitely a different path to becoming in-house counsel since most do at least one stint at a law firm, but I figured it out without ever having to suffer through billable hours!”

— 37, Cape Cod, MA

16.”RN, $150,000+. Worked my way through the ranks. I started as a phlebotomist drawing blood, then a medical assistant, then a CNA, then an LPN, and have been an RN for 34 years. I have a BSN and two national specialty certifications in wound care and ostomy care, which is a very niche market as not too many RNs have them.”

— 64, Seattle

— 31, NJ

19.”Clinical Research Manager in mental health – $102,000. Got a master’s in 2016 and slowly worked my way up from a research assistant.”

— 34, Delaware
