Mean Income: $106,000 Top 10%: $151,241
We don’t know who they are nor are we interested in being friends with them, but we acknowledge their importance to modern-day society. Those are the people who could get a good, six-figure-income job as analytics managers and not end up in a mental institution. Good for them.
For most people, statistics are what nightmares are made of. We see numbers, formulas, and spreadsheets and go running for the hills. But this isn’t the case for everyone. Some people find beauty in data analysis and management.
Product Manager
Mean Income: $107,000 Top 10%: $154,000
In the mood for another vague job title? Wonderful. Product managers, obscure as they sound, are actually pretty instrumental in developing a product. They lead the development team as well as make sure that the development happens according to the designated timeline.
There is a great demand for product managers in hi-tech. Considering that the job pays really well too, we would think that those open positions won't remain open for a long time.
Design Manager
Mean Income: $106,500 Top 10%: $157,395
Design managers' responsibilities include envisioning and executing a client’s experience with a company. It sounds super general because the job entails being involved in every aspect of the designing process.
Design managers will often be people who have a very artistic mind but are also very practical. This way they make sure the product or service is done both creatively and efficiently.
Information Systems Manager
Mean Income: $106,000 Top 10%:$128,000
This job is pretty similar to that of an IT manager (which is the person you call whenever your work computer crashes and burns. So... every three hours). However, this role has some more responsibilities.
Information systems managers are in charge of a company's information no matter how it's organized. They are the Marie Kondo of information and they are being paid as such.
Psychologist
Median Salary: $100,770 Top 10%:$151,000
How often have you told yourself you need to start therapy? Probably way too often. We all need a mind doctor to help us sort through the thoughts and feelings we experience on a daily basis.
Psychologists usually get a doctorate in psychology in order to be practicing their craft. Other than that, they also need a psychology license in most states. Other than treating people's psyche, psychologists also conduct research to further contribute to their field.
