Great paying jobs you’ll LOVE

Finding a job that you love is tough…finding one that pays well is ever harder!

Not impossible, though…Zippia has a list of jobs that pay well, offer a great work-life balance, and rank high in employee satisfaction:

Human resource managers  They’re in high demand in almost every industry and the average salary nationwide is $115,000.

Engineers  Engineers are among the happiest people in the world and make close to $90,000 a year on average.

Physical therapists  Here’s another job that’s in high demand, pays well (around $90,000 a year) and is ultra-rewarding.

Construction managers  They also rank high in overall happiness and take down an average of $95,000 a year.

Finance managers  Yes, it’s stressful job but they still report high levels of positivity and have the highest average salary on the list at $130,000 a year.

Some entry-level jobs that make people happy include teaching assistants, marketing specialists, athletic trainers and nurses.
