Let's be honest with ourselves. We'd all love to be living the high life, driving expensive cars and taking luxury holidays whenever we feel like it. Who wouldn't? But having the money to do that is the preserve of the rich and famous. Regular jobs don't give us the income.

Are we wrong about that, though? We tend to believe that anybody earning $100K per year or more is either a celebrity or an investment banker. Either that or they're in a highly skilled trade, such as a lawyer or a surgeon. We're wrong to hold those beliefs. Very wrong!

There are plenty of surprising jobs out there which can lead you to a $100K per year lifestyle or even higher, and most of us would think of them as normal, everyday employment. All you need to do is become one of the top 10 percent of earners within the profession.
