    Was just wondering if people knew about what are the highest paid jobs that you can get with a degree. Most of the time tho there pretty boring where as a low paid job can let you relax a bit more

    you can be a teacher without a degree, i think.
    and working for charities ie,convincing people to donate money to them, pay very well or so i hear. its bound to be exciting too. you never know who you'll meet

    erm why not do something highly paid and that you find interesting and exciting?

    Highest paid?
    Doctor, vet, architect, actuary etc.,

    High paid usually equals job stress + long hours, whilst low paid job's may equal to stress due to bills having to be paid, and long hours to get enough money to pay the bills. So I say highish pay, not too many hours = dream job. GL in getting it, tho :rolleyes:

    High pay boring is best, its grand if your brain has cruise control, its like dying for 5 days and coming to at the end of the week with a nice little nest egg.

    Low pay exciting for me

    I'm in a well paid boring as hell job at the minute. Driving me mental it is. Could easily do with less money and more free time / more interesting work.

    High Paid and boring. Isn't that what Boards was created for? :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,414 ✭✭✭LoneGunM@n


    I'm an accountant & I love boards ... heaven :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,117 ✭✭✭✭MrJoeSoap


    low paid and fun.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 181 ✭✭*Sassy*


    I could only do low paid and exciting if it included an amazing wardrobe of great clothes, dinner and after work drinks in fab restaurants and bars, and all expenses paid 'business' trips to far flung destinations. So.... not bloody likely.

    At the mo I'll just have to do with moderately well paid (but works out well cos don't have house/car), and pretty damn boring.

    You really need a happy medium. As in something that's well paid, a bit boring, but you get a good amount of job satisfaction from it.

    Depends on the company you work for tbh. Used to do project management with 18 hour days, working Saturdays and bank holidays too, lots of stress, lots of job satisfaction though, lots of challenge, occasionally lots of fun.

    Now do project management from 9 - 5.30. Job satisfaction lower, money the same, stress lower. Not much fun. Advantages? I get home at 6pm instead of 9pm, so now I have a life in which to make my own fun.

    You mean expensive prostitute, I love that "high-class" bit, you're a fuking whore woman, theres nothing classy about that. "oh but I'm working my way through college", yeah the whole college at €20 per blowjob.

    whats that old saying about getting a job you like and never working a day in your life.
