Healthcare WorkersTop-paying industries

There are a lot of things we look for in a job: friendly coworkers, an easygoing boss, clean restrooms... But let’s face it: the main motive for your job search is the paycheck. If you’re looking for a higher paying full-time or part-time job, take a look at these positions that pay $10 per hour or more.

Healthcare jobs: Healthcare support jobs, such as home health aides, nursing aides and medical assistants, make between $10 and $15 an hour on average. We just added hundreds of new healthcare jobs on SnagAJob.com – see what’s available in your area.

Driving and transportation jobs: Pizza delivery and driving big rigs aren’t the only driving jobs out there. Truck drivers make between $14.50 and $18.60 an hour, on average, while bus drivers can earn between $13 and $17 an hour. We have driving jobs with UPS, WIS International and other great companies.

Security jobs: Security guards make an average of $12.40 per hour, but experienced workers can earn more than that.  Look for a security job with a well-known company like Securitas Security Services. If you have military or law enforcement experience, you could qualify to become an elite security officer or an instructor and make even more.

Criminal justice careers
Criminal Justice
A desk job’s not for everyone. If you find yourself sitting at work and daydreaming about leaping from rooftops to chase down the bad guys, you should think about a job in law enforcement. One way to start is with a basic security job or a stint in the military – but if you have your heart set on being a police officer, you’ll probably need at least a two-year associate’s degree.

The good news is that you can get your criminal justice degree without spending too much on tuition – and while holding down a full-time job.
