I was browsing Facebook this week and found this thread talking about high-income salaries.

Freelancers reported making $300K to nearly $600K a year doing things like graphic design, creating ads, and making Powerpoint presentations.

I was shook.

Here are some jaw-dropping salaries I came across in the thread that might surprise you…

High-income freelancing jobs you might be surprised to learn about

  1. Software engineer $330K
  2. 3D graphics $90K to $110K
  3. Hospital admin $250K to $350K
  4. UX/UI designer $400K to $500K

What I like about this is that working in many of these jobs doesn’t require a college degree. But, these aren’t entry-level roles/salaries necessarily either.

It’s still nice to see that these salary levels can happen.

Position, experience, location and other factors all come into play here, too, of course.

I just thought this was super interesting.
