One day, when I was scrolling my Facebook feed I watched a reel where a journalist asked a child about work, salary, and so on. The last question was this. What is the sense of human life? And the child’s answer was something extraordinary and made me think. He said. The sense of life is to live it.
Do you understand what a simple but at the same time meaningful answer he gave?
And, yes, the sense of life is to live it and not waste it on something we don’t like, on people we didn’t want to meet, and so on.
And one of the most essential things in our life that can both make us happy and sad is our occupation. Usually, most of us work for 8-10 hours a day, and if we are not doing what we love, that means we are wasting our life and not living it.
But as you may have already noticed 🙂 we are not trees and we can change our place and make our life better.
Here are some well-paid jobs in the US that you may be interested in and they can motivate you to change your life.
1. Cardiologist – the average salary for a year is almost $353,970
A cardiologist is a doctor who’s an expert in heart and blood vessel diseases. They can treat heart diseases and help keep you from getting heart diseases. It is important to have good cardiologists and a good salary system for them.
After completing four years of medical school, cardiologists spend three years learning general internal medicine as a resident, plus at least three more years of specialized training after that.
After 10 years of training, a cardiologist can take an American Board of Internal Medicine exam. Even after achieving board certification, cardiologists keep learning for as long as they practice. They must keep up with the latest advances in how to treat patients to provide the best care.
2. Anesthesiologist – the average salary is $331,190
An anesthesiologist is a doctor (MD or DO) who practices anesthesia. Anesthesiologists are physicians specializing in perioperative care, developing anesthetic plans, and the administration of anesthetics. He or she has finished college, then medical school (four years), then an internship (one year) followed by a residency in anesthesia (three years). Some anesthesiologists pursue additional years of training (a fellowship).
Who are the HSS anesthesiologists? Our attending physicians have completed fellowships in fields such as regional anesthesia, pediatric anesthesia, critical care medicine, cardiothoracic anesthesia, chronic pain, and anesthesia research. Your anesthesiologist will be assigned the day before surgery and will be chosen based on your patient history and individualized needs and the physician’s specializations within anesthesiology.
3. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon – $311,460
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are trained to recognize and treat a wide spectrum of diseases, injuries, and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws, and the hard and soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region. They are also trained to administer anesthesia and provide care in an office setting. They treat problems such as the extraction of wisdom teeth, misaligned jaws, tumors, and cysts of the jaw and mouth, and perform dental implant surgery. Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a surgical specialty recognized by the American College of Surgeons and is one of nine dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association, the Royal College of Dentists of Canada, and the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons.
Typical training for an oral and maxillofacial surgeon includes:
Two to four years of undergraduate study (BS, BA, or equivalent degrees).
Four years of dental study (DMD, BDent, DDS, or BDS).
Four to six years of residency training (six years includes two additional years for acquiring a medical degree).
After completion of surgical training most undertake final specialty examinations. The certifying body in the United States is the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
The average total length of education and training after secondary school is 12 to 14 years. Don’t you think that the salary mentioned above is even less for the work they are doing?
4. Emergency Medicine Physician – $310,640
Emergency medicine doctors primarily work in the emergency departments, or emergency “rooms.” Urgent care facility staff also includes emergency medicine doctors.
Emergency medicine doctors stabilize and treat patients who are experiencing acute health problems or traumatic injuries. Some patients can be treated and released from the emergency room, and others need to be admitted to the hospital or further assessed by other specialists. Emergency medicine doctors make these decisions throughout their workdays.
5. Orthopedic Surgeon, Except Pediatric – $306,220
Orthopedic surgeons are doctors who specialize in the musculoskeletal system – the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles that are so essential to movement and everyday life. That’s why they have so a good salary.
With more than 200 bones in the human body, it’s an in-demand specialty. Dislocated joints. Hip or back pain. Arthritis (which afflicts half of the senior’s age 65 and older). Acute, chronic, or degenerative, all of these common disorders fall under orthopedics.
Because of the specialty’s vastness, most orthopedic surgeons sub-specialize, focusing on a specific treatment area. Hand and wrist specialists only see hand and wrist cases. Joint surgeons only treat hip or knee patients with arthritis or other limiting joint conditions. This lets them diagnose, treat and even prevent orthopedic problems with next-level precision.
