High-Paying Jobs That Might Not Be Worth The Effort

Jobs that pay well aren't always what they're cracked up to be if there aren't enough of them to go around.

Some high-paying careers might look great at first glance. They may pay well, offer flexible hours, provide interesting challenges, and perhaps even a combination of these. A few years of schooling, or even more than a few, may seem like a small price to pay to get a shot at one of them. But if a job looks good to you, it probably looks good to a lot of others, too, and there may not be enough openings to go around.

If you're not concerned about having to fight for limited openings, you may still want to pursue one of these six high-pay, low growth careers. However, if getting a job within a reasonable amount of time is your goal, you might be better off pursuing the careers we've identified as worth it; careers that pay at least a $75,000 annual median salary* and have hiring projections of more than 50,000 new hires over ten years.**
