I know it seems like 6 digits is important but you should look at your interests and different industries to see what you might enjoy. Don't go after money. Money will come once you build up skills, mentors and experience. Determine what things you can do better than anyone else...ask family and friends what they think you are good at if you are stuck.

Office jobs vary from Functional areas like Sales to Operations (Executing far reaching initiatives from inception of an idea to implementing it in a retail store) or Human Resources, or Information Technology, or Finance or Marketing, or Engineering. There are office jobs in different sectors so determine if you like a particular industry (Technology, Science, Health, Insurance, Entertainment, Communications/Media, Retail, Government, etc...). Research both functional areas as well as industries as any of these areas in combination with your mastery of these areas can lead to a 6 figure income if you put in the effort.

Tirzah recommends the following next steps:

Research career sites like careerbuilder.com or nexxt.com or linkedin.com
Make a list of your interests and try to find people that companies related to your interests.
Research job fairs, job boards, & college career centers to get idea of different types of jobs based on your interests.

Find something you like. If you enjoy it you'll do well, if you hate it you won't. It might be cliche but that's because it's true.

I went to school for degrees that I knew had the best return on investment but I wanted to work with computers. I received some bad advice, that it wouldn't pay well so I avoided it. I hated the classes I was in and it didn't go well for me. I decided I would do what I wanted to do and quickly found out it would pay off. Now I'm a software engineer and I'm really grateful I followed that path. I wish I had sooner.

Software engineer job start around 6 figures. If not It only takes a year or two to get above that. Once you have experience it's very easy to find jobs. It does often require a degree but it's worth it if you like computers and solving puzzles.

Amanda recommends the following next steps:

Go to university and find out what you like.

This is a capitalist society so there is no such a job paying 6 digits without requiring hardworking.
Thank you comment icon its 2019 pal you can literally make a million bucks on YouTube just recording yourself sniffing a sharpie. Colby
Thank you comment icon Yes, but honestly, being a youtuber takes tremendous amount of your time of a day. It usually takes hours to edit a 15-minute-long video and it's highly possible that you are not going to get monetized in a long period of time. Harrison Lu

One of the Google certificates being offered is an Android App developer. They look like one of the quicker paths that I'm aware of for a 6 digit salary, but be careful about getting your expectations too high about jumping right into a position that pays that well. You can check out the Google certificate at grow. google. com for the Android App developer certificate and see if the program looks right for you.

So inside sales can make 6 digits. Most corporations have inside sales jobs as their entry position. Once you have been in the position at least 2 years, you usually can move up in the company.
Thank you comment icon thank you for being clear and specific :) Colby

Zak’s Answer

I think 6 figures is a lot to earn early in a career! Perhaps many investment bankers do earn over $100k, but openings in that field are very competitive, and this not easy to find.
A broad field that I beleive consistently has many openings and high starting salaries is engineering (e.g. mechanical or electrical engineering). Also Another field I like to mention is actuarial science. I conisder it a sweet spot for high demand, high pay, and reasonable work-life balance.

Also, as many other have said, don't get TOO caught up in the money. Make sure to find out what aligns with your interests and desired lifestyle.
