Sometimes we think we want a new career because we want more money.
"If only I had another 10 or 20 grand a year, how sweet would that be?!"
However, amidst the hustle and bustle of a job search, it is all too common for us to become fixated on the minute details, neglecting the broader perspective of our lives and failing to consider the impact on our overall well-being. Often, we overlook the opportunity to make significant changes, such as relocating to a different environment, which can not only enhance our quality of life but also introduce an array of novel experiences and thrilling adventures.
It is crucial to recognize the significance of having a roadmap that guides us through this process. While pursuing lucrative job opportunities is undoubtedly important, it is equally essential to retain control over our own destiny and shape our lives according to our desires. Where we live is just as important as how much we make.
Check out the map to see the highest paying occupation for each state and Washington, DC and for a more interactive experience I included the original article for you as well.
In 22 states, including Tennessee, the highest-paying title was "Physicians, All Other," which encompasses doctors not listed separately in various medical categories. The national average pay for this title is $238,700 per year, with most of the states paying even more. Louisiana, for example, has an average of $302,970!
Certain states have specific medical professionals as the highest earners. Florida and New York, for instance cardiologists were at the top of the list. Cardiology is also the best-paying occupation in the entire United States, according to national average data from the BLS. ??
However, a few states and Washington, DC, have their highest-paying jobs outside the healthcare sector. Chief executive positions take the lead in DC, New Jersey, and North Carolina. In North Dakota and Vermont, financial managers claim the top spot, with average annual salaries of $137,000 and $133,310, respectively. (NOT BAD)
