Analytics Manager
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.
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.
Business Operations Manager
Mean Income: $100,930 Top 10%: $135,000
The title is pretty self-explanatory: running a business properly is why business operations managers are needed. They discuss ways to meet company goals and establish a course of action for the workers to achieve them. They deal with budgets, recruitment, organization strategy, and more.
In order to become a business operations manager, one will need a bachelor's degree, or sometimes a master's of business administration degree. This kind of degree would cost about $9,000-$70,000 a year.
Mathematician
Mean Income: $101,900 Top 10%: $109,975
You know how you were little and your math teacher warned you that you won't always have a calculator at your side? Well, the joke's on them because your cellphone does all of your calculations for you. But, as it happens, some people's intelligence stretches beyond that of your cellphone's calculating skills. Those people are mathematicians.
Those superhumans. They take numbers that would give most people anaphylactic shock and use them for the greater good (the greater good being more money for businesses and government agencies). Those people normally have a bachelor's degree, and oftentimes a master’s degree or doctorates.
