In this regard, I did a small-scale survey.
I.
My WeChat friends are a few thousand people in all walks of life, mostly young people.
I extracted 1,000 friends who earn tens of thousands of dollars a month, from which I filtered out the industry, location are more accurate, the age of 30 years old and above 209 people, statistics.
Of these 209 people, 129 of them work in cities other than Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, distributed in 22 provinces, they are engaged in a variety of occupations, but can be grouped into nineteen industries.
Among them, more than 60% are engaged in the following five industries:
Internet, IT, e-commerce - 17.8%;
Finance - 16%;
Civil engineering, infrastructure engineering - 14%;
Self-employed, own business - 10.8%;
Sales - 6%;
Not too much beyond my It is expected that young people who want to get a high salary, joining the finance and Internet industries, or starting their own business, doing some small business, as well as going into sales, would be the more convenient paths.
But I didn't expect so many people to do engineering...
Besides the above five, occupations that appear more frequently include: real estate, foreign trade, civil service, medical and pharmaceutical, design, and so on.
In addition to the high starting salary, the development prospects of these industries are also relatively good, according to my daily exchanges with the guys, a lot of less than 30 years old partners, relying on their own business, the income has reached hundreds of thousands of - millions.
Today just and a 23-year-old partner talked a few words, he began to do business from the sophomore year, a variety of attempts, when the hands of less than 5,000 dollars, and now the senior, by opening a Taobao store and micro-store, last year, a year earned 600,000 yuan.
Very interesting little brother, some day please he came over to speak.
II.
Maybe some people will say, the circle of friends to do the survey, as if not too rigorous, is not going to be biased.
So I went back to the gathering place of high-paid people - Zhihu for a turn.
In recent times, the Q&A on Zhihu, "What is the experience of earning more than 10,000 a month in XX city", has been particularly numerous, and I have roughly counted it according to the answers therein:
The partners who answered this question are distributed in 26 second- and third-tier cities, and the occupations with the highest frequency of occurrence belong to the Internet and IT.
Three tier Zhihuers in the second tier with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan have been found to have the highest frequency of occurrence in the second tier, third-tier know-it-aller, programmers are the mainstream.
Of course, Zhihu is supposed to be a programmer's base camp...
Besides programmers, the possibility of earning more than ten thousand dollars per month is relatively high for Internet-related positions such as product, operation, design, and planning.
Then there is the financial industry, the number of financial know-it-alls is also quite a lot, there are in the bank, there are brokerage firms, there are auditing, loan management, and so on.
Another popular option, is sales, which can be more lucrative if it's a popular industry, such as pharmaceuticals or real estate.
Especially if you are in pharmaceutical sales, you will earn quite a bit more than a doctor.
What I didn't expect was that inside the second and third tier cities knower, there are quite a lot of people doing vocational education and training, and several of them are still part-time.
This is not quite the same as my circle of friends...
It seems that if you want to get a high salary in a small or medium-sized city, it's not a bad idea to utilize your professional knowledge and go into education.
There are other industries where it's easier to earn over 10,000 per month, but the threshold is quite high, such as various highly specialized equipment engineers, electrical engineers, process engineers, and so on...
Other industries appear less frequently, but if you work for a multinational corporation, a branch of a national corporation, or a large corporation that the locality itself has fostered, you will earn much more than the average.
For example, FAW in Changchun, Haier in Qingdao, and so on.
III.
Well, a small survey, there is not much sample, relatively rough, but not much different from my impression, usually chat with friends in second-tier cities, the general income of the industry is so few:
Financial industry, the Internet, and sales.
Or, you can risk a little, choose to stationed abroad, my sample there are a few foreign friends, respectively, in Indonesia, France, Japan, Saudi Arabia and other countries, the annual salary than the same age, the same industry people, much higher.
PS. Often, children who are close to graduating from university say they are very distressed, can't find their own specialties, their majors have not learned too well, and what they like is not quite clear, so what kind of work should they look for?
I would recommend starting out in sales.
One is that the salary of sales is linked to your performance, the smarter you are, the harder you work, the higher your income, and for young people, you can accumulate raw capital very quickly.
The second is that sales requires you to receive and process a lot of information in a short period of time, so you can 'upgrade' your overall quality very quickly.
Hard to do a burst of sales, no matter whether it does well or not, their communication skills, interpersonal skills, verbal skills, and - the ability to negotiate, will be much stronger than before.
Most importantly, sales skills can help us overcome the fear of 'fear of rejection'.
People who have been there understand how many great opportunities in life can be ruined by this fear.
