Some hot jobs that earn over 30$ an hour

Full-time workers in the United States earn an estimated average of $20.90 an hour--which is just over $43,000 a year. What would you do to increase that salary by 50 percent? The good news is, you don't have to spend years in college just to make more than $30 an hour. Instead of going into debt with student loans to pay for a bachelor's or master's degree, you can spend less money on a two-year associate's degree and get paid just as much as the average chemist or accountant. Here are seven two-year degrees and the $30-plus-an-hour careers that go along with them.

1. Finance
Career: Loan officer
Average hourly wage: $30.39
Loan officers help people navigate the process of borrowing money for houses, cars, education, and more. Though there are no formal education requirements for loan officers, an associate's degree in finance can help qualify you for these positions, particularly if you want to become a mortgage loan officer.



2. Diagnostic Medical Sonography
Career: Diagnostic medical sonographer
Average hourly wage: $30.60
Sonography is mostly associated with ultrasound technology used to see how babies are developing in utero. An associate's degree in diagnostic medical sonography can teach you how to use the medical equipment that directs high-frequency sound waves to diagnose many medical conditions in addition to pregnancy. Job opportunities are expected to grow by 18 percent between 2008 and 2018.

3. Nursing
Career: Registered nurse
Average hourly wage: $31.99
Registered nurses administer medications, monitor patients, assist doctors, provide medical care, and more. To prepare yourself for a career in nursing, you can complete an associate's degree in nursing, which will qualify to take a state licensing exam--a prerequisite to becoming a registered nurse. Between 2008 and 2018, the number of jobs for registered nurses is expected to grow by 22 percent. Many states are offering grant- and loan-repayment programs for nursing education, and hospitals are also offering signing bonuses to new nurses.

4. Applied Science
Career: Nuclear technician
Average hourly wage: $32.07
Nuclear technicians operate nuclear testing and research equipment and help with research initiatives, and around half of them work for utility companies. An associate's degree in applied science or in nuclear-science technology should qualify you for the job, which will also likely require on-the-job training. This industry is expected to see average growth as nuclear-energy technology develops.

5. Nuclear Medicine Technology
Career: Nuclear-medicine technologist
Average hourly wage: $32.91
Nuclear-medicine technologists use radioactive drugs and special cameras that detect those drugs to diagnose diseases. An associate's degree in nuclear-medicine technology teaches you radiation safety, imaging techniques, and how to use various diagnostic computer applications. Around two-thirds of nuclear-medicine technologists work in hospitals, and the rest work in diagnostic imaging centers, laboratories, and physicians' offices.

6. Fashion Design
Career: Fashion designer
Average hourly wage: $35.78
Fashion designers are responsible for the bad, the good, and the ugly trends. The job requires planning and research skills, as well as being able to make predictions based on the fashion market. Fashion designers are also responsible for envisioning and sketching designs, selecting fabrics and colors, and managing the production of clothing, purses, shoes, sunglasses, and more. An associate's degree in fashion design, artistic talent, and a good eye can qualify you for careers in fashion design.

7. Computer Programming
Career: Computer programmer
Average hourly wage: $35.91
Though computer-programming jobs don't necessarily require formal education, they do require you to know how to create code and have an understanding of programming languages--the specific languages depend on the job. If you need a refresher course or want to learn from scratch, an associate's degree in computer programming, computer science, information systems, or math can qualify you for some computer-programming positions.

Surprised? When it comes to funding your education, it makes sense to get the most bang for your buck. In this case, the bang is your buck. You could spend at least three times as much on a master's degree to qualify for a job with an average salary that's the same as the salary of one these seven surprising careers that require only a two-year degree.

5. Nuclear Medicine Technology

It's a daily grind, but if you can mix, you can get paid very well.

That concept is kinda flawed in this economy. So many people are either out of work or just graduating with bachelor's or higher degrees that a person with an associates degree is gonna have a hard time standing up against them when competing for jobs. Still though, at least these jobs have the potential for assocciate level people to get hired. All it takes is your ability to impress at the interview if you get the opportunity.

Don't most nurses work 4 days a week 12 hour days ?

 

[Nobody]

Don't most nurses work 4 days a week 12 hour days ?

let's do that math.

if they do overtime after a 40 hour week, 4 12 hour days yields 40 hours with 8 ot.

which at 32 an hour turns out to be 65000 for 49 weeks of work. Nearly 70k

This is what I do for a living. Been doing it for 18 months and the hours, money and benefits are tight. Each week you have to work a min of three 12 hour shifts to get full benefits. But you can always work more, they are offering overtime everyday. You can pick up 4, 8, or 12 hours overtime whenever. I usually just pick up one 8 or one 12 hour shift. This one guy I work with has been doing it for four years and now he just works 4 days a week at 42 an hour and last year he made 100grand and he's 26 like me. This other guy has been doing it for 3 years and now he just works 2 days a week at the hospital and 2 days doing home care seeing 6 patients a day. He says it takes 30 mind for each patient and u are done in 3 hours and you make anywhere between 55- and 100 bucks per patient. He said he just paid full cash for a new car and just bought a house in sterling heights Michigan. Plus you can always go back to school for anesthesia, practitioner or administration and make between 85 grand and 200 grand

Well let us know where you're making that $200,000 a year homes.

thats right, this is billionaire row.

 

[Rossini]

oh shit

 

[JD Walker]

All I'm saying is that there's a salary cap on those jobs that seemingly pay well. Then remember that you'll enter a higher tax bracket. Then you'll want to make more money to offset what you will owe in taxes but you can't because you'll be stuck at $30 an hour.

True also. The starting salary for a nurse anesthetist is 103 per year.

How long did it take u to get into the field? Classes start next week at my local community college and I gotta find something to go back to school for since it looks like my Bachelor's is worthless at this point.

 

[luvpussy]

Man, really contemplating the nursing field.

 

[M.H.C.]

Good looking.

What's your degree in fam?

 

[justfacts]

The associates degree in nursing ain't gonna fly anymore.

Many hospitals are already requiring new rn's to have bsn's. The existing rn's get a pass based on job experience.

In 2012, they are likely gonna raise the requirement to become a nurse practicioner, nurse anesthetist and certified nurse specialist to a doctorate in nursing. Up from the current msn level.

That's the reason why my wife jumped into the msn program so quick. Hoping she'll be grandfathered in before the switch over. She's even already started her DEA paperwork.

It's a lucrative field, but that asn degree is only gonna go so far. More nurse are starting to become advance practice which means more money, but more education.

1 years min. But it's more about getting your Nuclear Training down packed than anything else, because they won't let anyone handle hazardous material.

This!!

I myself haven't enrolled there but I was sent that link by someone in my lab, so I have very little reason to doubt them.

But there's a phone number down there where you can call and get some more information for piece of mind.

Good post...

A mentor once said to me: "you can earn a living working at your job or you can make a fortune working for yourself"...i choose the latter.

Your math is off. $30hr comes out to $63,000 a year. That is great money you can get a $200,000 home and afford a up to $700 on a car note with ease and have plenty of money left over. you trippin
