Top-paying jobs for community college grads
Landing a high-paying job after graduation doesn’t always depend on four-year or graduate degrees.
Some college students taking the shorter, less-expensive paths to their degrees are finding much success in their chosen careers.
Studies suggest more students seem to be following this trend, while unemployment rates have hit record lows over the past few years, and tuition keeps increasing. The overall cost for attending an in-state public college rose 3.8 percent to $22,261 this year, according to a CNN report.
Forbes listed out the top 10 best-paying jobs for community college grads, with the top job as an air traffic controller earning $108,000.
Many of the other rankings are in healthcare and engineering, the two fields experts say are the most in demand this year in Philadelphia while the industries continue to see growth.
Forbes ranked nuclear technicians at number six with a median salary of $68,090, and registered nurses at number seven with a median salary of $64,690.
