These Jobs Have the Highest Entry-Level Salaries
It’s graduation season, and although hiring is cooling, it’s still possible to find entry-level roles with six-figure median salaries for those right out of college or graduate school.
Fox Business looked at which jobs had the highest entry-level pay based on a Glassdoor analysis of salaries submitted between May 1, 2023, and April 30, 2024. Each job had at least 75 salaries provided by Glassdoor users.
The result is a list of the top 15 highest-paying jobs based on median salary.
Seven engineering positions made the list. The other eight roles were in consulting, medicine, or law.
The latest report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that employers added fewer jobs than expected, and than the average, in April. Bloomberg noted that the 175,000 overall job gain was the smallest recorded by the BLS in six months.
