It turns out you don't need a fancy MBA or law degree to pull in a
pretty penny.
That's
right: There are plenty of opportunities to earn a six-figure salary without
the burden or hassle (or tuition bill!) of graduate school.
On
Thursday, TheLadders, a
career and job matching resource for professionals, will release a new report
on the top-paying careers that don't require an advanced degree.
To compile
its list, TheLadders analyzed a year's worth of salary insights from 1.9
million US-based professionals with a bachelor or associate degree to find the
careers with the largest concentrations of top earners.
