There are plenty of other high-paying jobs out there — and many don't require an advanced degree. To give you a better idea of the variety of high-paying careers available to you, Glassdoor put together a list of 11 jobs that pay over $100,000 a year, along with advice on how to get hired for each one. For many of these jobs, total pay is highly dependent on the base salary. But for other jobs, a big part of employees' total pay is earned through other forms of compensation (i.e. commissions, tips, and bonuses). To be considered for the list, a job must have received at least 60 salary reports shared by US-based employees over the past two years.

Their research and reports inform other financial analysts' efforts. So while the position incorporates much of the excitement and rewards of investment banking, it is different, as much of the workload involves generating information. To qualify for the position, candidates need a bachelor's degree in finance, economics, or a similar field. Physician assistant Total median pay: $100,392 Median base salary: $100,000 How to get hired, according to Glassdoor: A physician's assistant (PA) holds a master's degree and a license. PAs — who examine patients, order tests, and prescribe some medications, among other things — attend medical school rather than nursing school.  Nurse practitioner Total median pay: $101,600 Median base salary: $100,000 How to get hired, according to Glassdoor: Nurse practitioners (NP’s) have at least a master's degree in nursing. Individual states may require additional certifications. NPs are qualified to perform physical exams, treat common injuries and illness, and prescribe some medications. Some NP’s have their own private practices.
