M: All right, this next one is an executive pastry chef that is tempting to me, even though I can’t cook. W: Yes.
M: Wow! Is the salary gradually raised?
W: Yeah, the salary can really escalate and the median pay there is probably the lowest on our list, $45,000 or so, but you can earn six figures at the top of your game, and here’s how you do it. You have to have three years’ experience as a pastry chef. You have to have had employees working under you for several years as well, according to the American Culinary Federation. And of course, you need to have worked in the field and have ongoing training. But it’s possible.
M: So, this doesn’t mean you have to be a famous pastry chef. Is that what it boils down to?
W: It doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be famous, but you’re probably working at a luxury hotel or restaurant and you’ve had at least 150 hours of training.
M: OK. On the list as well, handyman in certain fields, six figures.
W: Six figures is possible. Again, it varies widely. You could start at $53,000 or so. That’s the median salary, but up to $104,000. And if you’re an electrician, not necessarily a licensed electrician, but somebody who does home appliance work, we get a lot of the statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and they say that there is a potential if you don’t have a high school diploma, you can get the training.
M: And last on the list, massage therapist.
W: Now, this requires a postsecondary non-degree award, 500 hours or so of training and educational programming. It could be at a community college or a four-year institution as well. You don’t need an actual associate’s degree necessarily, but you do need extensive training. It varies by the location and the type of facility, but it’s possible.
M: Well, these jobs all sound tempting for people who want to improve their standards of living.
W: Yeah, tempting. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t go to college, but that you can consider other options out there.
M: Yes, it depends. Thank you for your information, Sharon.
W: Pleasure.
