What Kind of Jobs...

are around where you can earn $50,000 - $70,000 per year .. with decent benefits???

Going back to school is not an option.

But I'm open to hearing any suggestions.

Well teachers can make this after a certain amount of years. I am trying to think of jobs without extra schooling..maybe LIRR, or Phone company....I dont know for sure.

Re: What Kind of Jobs...

what kind of background do you have? Typically at that salary you have to have at least 4 years of working experience in most fields.

What area do you work in now? I found that if I change fields, even though I now have a Master's, the entry-level salaries are less than $40,000...

ETA: My father, mother, and I all work in college administration (different colleges). Most entry-level are not in this pay range, but it gets up there within a few years (in my area--computer systems admin.-- at least).

If you go into sales with commision you can make that.
Ray just started a new jib.. he has the same degree as you and only 1 year of slaes experience.. he is making is your range for BASE salary alone and there is the potential for a lot of commision.. plus other benefits like a car, computer, vacations, etc.

Nurses make that kind of money starting out..But of course that would require extra schooling. I dont know of any jobs offhand that start at that salary for entry level??

This is so depressing. Thanks for the thoughts. I am so sick of having to work two jobs to get by .. but I guess that will have to continue .. unless I happen to strike gold somehow.

I thought the same thing...but then realized there aren't really any benefits available!!!

Uh--how about a Suffolk or Nassau County Police Officer...they sure make a heck of a lot more than us NYPD'ers do. jk

But seriously---What about the local hospitals? They're always looking for Business Administrators. My step-dad works upstate (in Orange County) and he makes over 6 figures (with 15 years experience). My MOH/Best Friend's brother started fresh out of school working for my step-father and he made $70K his first year....so I would imagine in LI, the salaries would be adjusted accordingly.
