It is obvious that most people go to college, so they get a fancy, great-paying job at the end. But it doesn’t mean that a prestigious job will give you desirable, huge amounts of money. Surprisingly, some fancy titles like being an optometrist or an architect actually pay less than you might be expecting.
Data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reveals some fancy jobs with typically low earnings. Let’s begin with the already mentioned – optometrist. They generally make up to $115,750 per year. They are in charge of diagnosis and treatment of human eye defects. And a dentist, who underwent a similar training, earns around $177,130 per year, while pediatrician scoops up to $183,180 annually.
