What’s a well-paying entry level job for someone in their mid-30’s?

1. Depends on where you live, but in the US I would say between $50k-70k.

2. Hard labour. Stuff like mines and construction.

   Bartending might be a good option too, I don’t think it’s super hard you just gotta take a few courses.

3. Any trade. Go to a union hall and say you want to be a laborer.

4. define “well-paying”.

5. Chemical plant operator

6. Where?

7. I’m going to echo that well paying is going to be whatever you assign to it.

   If you’re in a reasonably well populated area, I can damn near guarantee the public transit system is in need of drivers. Some places pay really well, some places are really only worth it to get your license and then dip.

8. I’d reccomend a trade. Most take 4 years of apprenticeship but after the apprenticeship you can make 60-100+k depending on where you live.

9. All the answers about trades are over hyped. Look at them on BLS before.

   > welder salary BLS

   $45k

   > carpenter salary BLS

   $47k

   Here’s all of them, https://www.bls.gov/ooh/construction-and-extraction/home.htm

10. Sales.

11. Ya boy needs that forklift license.

    That, or learn a second language and be a translator, decent scratch.

12. I’m mid-20’s, but I just landed a job as an account coordinator starting at 50k with zero experience.

    Apply to jobs that require experience, sometimes no one else applies and they’ll hire you.

13. There are no “well paying, entry level” jobs. A job that is entry level will never be well paying, because your skills as an entry level employee are easily replaceable.

    Look for jobs that pay well at mid level, then git gud.

14. Regardless of age you want to know what your marketable skills are.

15. Porn

16. Cell phone sales $75++ K per year.

17. Depends what you class as ‘well paid’ where you are.

    What sort of person are you? What do you like to do?
