So would I!

How did you come up with this amount? What are your interests? I would go on glassdoor and look up careers that you are interested in, see what the median pay is, and go from there.

A lot of times salaries in NY are higher than out of town because the cost of living is much higher there so it’s possible that the money a special ed teacher gets in NY goes just as far as the lower salary one in Baltimore gets. Just a thought.

im wondering if glassdoor is accurate - in terms of this- I tried the salary calculator for fun. My job which I left (now looking for new job) was paying me 38,000$ and when I did the salary calculator it said I should've been paid 49, 800$...the place where I was working refused to pay me any more although they were very happy with me...just wondering for the future, is it accurate, like were they really majorly underpaying me? ( I left for different reasons, although now I want to work towards a career with more pay)

I just did glassdoor for myself and I come out a few grand ahead of what they say I should get paid. I think overall its pretty accurate.

90K for a professional is not very much.

Any field where you advance should get you a salary in that range. Aside from specific fields which are known to make less.

If you are looking for that much as a starting salary then you will have to become a PA, NP, lawyer, pharmacist, administrator for nursing home, specialized therapist, etc

You will probably need a bachelors and a masters which is at least a five year commitment.

Did you assume 40 hours.

I make 92,000 working 32 hours/week. Glassdoor said 112,000 assuming 40 hours. In that sense I was coming out very slightly ahead.

Glass door relies on people in specific jobs to report their salaries. I’m a school counselor (with some career counseling training background from my masters) and just looked up my job on glass door and I make almost $20,000 more than the highest salary they report. But I looked at the top of the page and the info was only from 14 people reporting their salaries which is not good data. A website with actual good data is O-net. I remember learning about in my career counseling course in grad school. It’s developed under the sponsorship of US Department of Labor/Employment and Training Administration. It gives you tons of good information on jobs and evidence-based assessments to find a career that suits your interests. It also includes good data about salaries and you can be specific about seeing the salary info for your state. Here’s the link: https://www.onetonline.org/

You have to search for the right state and hours, as others have said.

Full time is 40 hours. My salary is adjusted for 32 hours.

Software. I actually thought it would be higher for my experience. But I work from home with flex time and passed on advancement to manager positions - which means I’m not really getting a higher salary unless I’m willing to be more flexible.

Please don’t go into healthcare if you’re just in it for the money. Besides being terrible for your patients, it’s not good for you either.

Same advice for any job that involves working with people. Teaching, babysitting, etc.

Most healthy people have altruistic and humanistic compassionate tendencies, and enjoy helping other people. They just have to be practical and think of how they're going to make ends meet first.

That being said, becoming a doctor or similar is grueling (not to mention expensive) schooling and starting hours and takes a lot of passion and dedication. If you're not 110% into it, you'll get burnt out pretty quickly.


You can make a decent salary as a software engineer, IT analyst, systems manager, CPA, quantitative analyst, or a myriad of other white color jobs with zero passion required.
