Drug dealers always in demand lol

But on the legal side medicine, health care, physiotherapy etc there has never been so many unhealthy fat people in existence in history and its growing

 

Unhealthy, fat and OLD. Healthcare and aged care industries - ideally a sales role - pharmacuticals? I completely agree with @Ace in the Hole in regard to sales.
No limit to what you can achieve and a transferable skill to any industry.

 

Here's a few more

 

I saw an article of the highest paid jobs state-by-state last week, but I can't find it now. Here's one from 2014.
The 10 Best-Paying Jobs In Australia - And The Worst

Surgeons and other top medical professionals tend to have the highest paid average incomes. The highest PAYG wage I've ever seen on a payslip was $500k / year for a radiologist. That guy paid about $20k per month to the ATO.

I know a single Mum who's a GP. Her ex-husband has the kids 4 days a fortnight, she works those days and makes over $80k per annum (effectively working 2 days a week).

If you don't have the perfect year 12 scores required to get into medicine, hopefully you're good at sales and marketing. Base salaries tend to be reasonable but in the right role the commissions and bonus' can be huge.

 

I hear mortgage Broking is popular...

 

And if you work hard straight out of year 10/12, you have an 8 year head start on those people doing medicine at Uni.

 

yup agreed. we have been using flexport lately and the time and efficiency savings are pretty good from what I've heard.

 

Even the best sales jobs rarely exceed $150k. Job stability is very reliant on economic conditions. You don't need to be a genius, but it does require a particular skill set which is quite difficult to define.

Medicine is very hard work, ongoing education and there's a long lead time to get into it, but it's almost recession proof. Just don't be a physiotherapist; they're amoungst the worst paid for the level of education they have.

 

Very easy to get into, very difficult to succeed.

Meet your average broker

 

Agreed - but if you're never going to get into medicine, it's a pretty good option

 

Plenty of REA in the right locations make those $$ - even on 1 sale/month & X0% split of comms. But you do have to rely on a good surgeon for that lobotomy.

 

Wow - given the level of training I would have thought it would be more than this (double).
Maybe most top medicos push the invoices through a company entity to reduce the amount given to Mr ATO.

Based on the ATO simple tax calculator $500k/pa is worthy of about a $200k tax bill. $300k net.

I think those who are self employed can make quite a bit more, but then they have to pay for the office, admin, etc. This radiologist was a 9-5 salary job.

 

So the "average" broker is pulling in about $189,000/pa? Surely not?

That is an average of $89k in upfront commission, plus with an average portfolio of $40mil at 0.25%trail.

Ok - these are averages, and the rule of 80/20 would (I imagine apply). But still even pulling in $80k for what is essentially an unqualified job role isn't bad.

Or am I missing something?

Blacky

 

Average trail is significantly lower than 0.25%, a nice rule of thumb is 0.17%.

Then factor that is gross costs, perhaps 10%+ lost to aggregator, licencing and general business costs.

80/20 is very much in force with the broking industry.

 

1. Chinese speaking real estate
2. Chinese speaking accountant
3. Chinese speaking mortgage broker
4. Chinese speaking .....

I am seeing more and more of this. Too bad it's one of the most difficult language to learn.

 

Aside from the error that Corey has already pointed out, you're also missing that this is income, not profit. I have read somewhere that the average broker income is about $80k, which is also about the average Australian income.

Agreed it's not a highly qualified job, but it's not exactly highly paid either.

 

Is there a demand for teachers these days?
