30 Jobs that Earn $80,000

Let's be honest: Sometimes you don't care about the job -- you just care about the salary. But, it's awfully hard to look for a job that fits both your salary requirements and your skill set. Not to mention that we always tell you that your work and career should be something you love. Ideally, money is just an added benefit. That being said, we're also realists. We know that times are tough and at this point, some people just need to get paid. Fortunately, there's a new salary tool available that can help you do just that. Jobs by Salary, a new salary tool from CBSalary.com, allows you to search for jobs by salary based on where you live or work in the United States. Do you live in Phoenix and want to make $50,000? No problem. Plug in your data, and you'll get a list of jobs that pay that much in your area, plus the necessary requirements. Because our readers live all over, we thought it unfair to provide a list of jobs that earn a certain dollar amount in one place or another. Plus, we all know that different markets pay different salaries based on a variety of things such as cost of living. Instead, we went to the Bureau of Labor Statistics to look at the latest (May 2008) salary information for the United States. From there, we found out which occupations earn in the $80,000 range based on national averages. Here are 30 jobs that earn at least $80,000: 1.
