#4 Actuary
Median Annual Salary: 3.00 lakh—40.22 lakh
Do you love getting lost in numbers, or enjoy solving math problems when you've got some time to kill? If so, a career as an actuary could give you that opportunity to do it.
Actuaries are the individuals who evaluate, manage and advise on financial risks. They use their knowledge of numbers to provide assessments of financial security in order to minimize the impacts of financial losses associated with uncertain and undesirable events.
"This job appeals to people who enjoy working with concrete details in order to predict outcomes," said Nohrden. "The fact that it is not a deadline-oriented occupation lowers the stress, which can appeal to people who like to work at their own pace." He further adds, this job pays well, too. "Few people pursue a career as an actuary, reducing their numbers, so the industry has a limited supply, making employers pay more for them."
#5 Dental Hygienist
Do you aspire to put bright smiles on others? Opt to be dental hygienist.
The job description of a dental hygienist includes everything from cleaning teeth, examining patients for oral diseases such as gingivitis, and to provide other preventative dental care. You will also be responsible for educating patients on ways to improve and sustain good oral health.
Nohrden exclaimed, "Their functions are purely preventative in nature, which allows them to take delight in knowing that they kept something bad from happening rather than reacting to something that has already happened. Also, their 'customers' rarely complain about the service provided and happily return again and again." So why does this career pay so well? "The number of dental hygienists is limited because they require special education and state licensing; therefore, their value increases and employers must pay more for them."
