10 HIGH PAYING JOBS for 6-FIGURES (Degree & No Degree)

[@TheHumblePenny]

What is your current job and career about? Do you see it making you 6-figures or more one day potentially?

[@zinha7855]

Hi Ken, you just touched in my life dilemma. My job role is to do research about companies ownership and investments and although the job title- Data Specialist is fancy title and seems to be a well paid job but not in my case and many of my peers. I don't have any degree and I've thought in taking accounting training but I don't have background in math. I want to take the opportunity to thank you for all your videos. I've been searching for a youtuber that I can relate and I found @thehumblepenny.😊❤

[@TheHumblePenny]

@@zinha7855 Thanks for stopping by! Here is a little secret for you - You DON'T need to be good at Maths to be an Accountant. Yup! What you need are softer skills (commitment to passing your exams initially to understand the technical bits) and then more softer skills for leadership (e.g. communications, negotiating, people skills) etc. This is what is most important. So please don't let the lack of a Math background stop you. Maths helps generally, but accounting is not about Maths at all.

[@TheHumblePenny]

Don't give up! Whay type of skills do you have?

[@youtubeaccount2728]

If you are looking for a basic job look at working at a call centre or an IT service Desk. It will give you a salary and its not demanding so whilist the salary can be anywhere between 18k to 22k on average for call centres or service desk its a start. Look at first direct bank call centre jobs or HSBC For IT service desk just type it on indeed, reed or any job site and there should be plenty. Sell yourself as a problem solver as meticulous someone whose careful and does things properly for service desk you will commonly get calls about password resets or internet not working or windows account creation. If you google these then show your knowledge in potential interviews it will all go well. Remember dont compare your step 1 to someone's step 100 . Ken is where he is now because he saved invested worked hard that doesnt mean it was easy from day 1 he would have struggled. Dont lose hope and if you believe in God pray to him to make things easy. You can also look at Aldi supermarkets grad scheme as well.

I'm currently a community pharmacist. Even with 10 years experience in pharmacy It's virtually impossible to reach the 6 figure mark. Maths was my favourite topic in school, I achieved an A in A levels. I went down the pharmacy path for "security" and relatively "decent" salary. Now I'm almost 2 years qualified and I'm really thinking about future prospects. Btw very inspirational. Gave me plenty to think about

[@TheHumblePenny]

Cece ohh, WOW! I love that you kept that very real. "security" is the main reason why many people go for Pharmacy. In fact, I recall a Ghanaian friend I used to have at College who went down that path. Smashed his A-Levels, etc, but did Pharmacy. It was the wrong move for him and he was seeking a way out after qualifying. For you though, I think you must *seriously* explore how you can use your transferable skills (if you want to change careers). This is why doing an MBA is so appealing. It can give you that launchpad. Many of the of the people on my Executive MBA course were doing it exactly for that reason. They wanted a way out of their current careers FAST! Final thing to tell you is that hesitation has a cost. Very important thing to bear in mind.

Listening to your clear, successful, rich, career journey from a young age only makes me feel further inferior and depressed. I just need a minimum wage salary at the moment never mind 6 figure. How is it that people know exactly what thye need to do and how to get there. I'm 24, ethnic minority, female, I have a C in maths GCSE but don't hold any other passed GCSEs (despite all the resits) , a mature business student , long term health issues, disabled non-working parents, don't hold any professional qualifications never mind a degree , I don't drive, I have no social life, I am clueless in knowing how and where to apply though I'm registered to most job sites in the UK, get no support, and understandly depressed. At the moment I genuinely don't know which job I want and how to get started. I know what I don't want ie a job a a crew member at a fast food chain or a low paid carer or something else I hate. I've been volunteering in charities from late teens but it doesn't fulfil me. Quite frankly I want money and need it. I live in the real world. I can't do any digital stuff so the whole blogging ad related job don't apply to me even though I am in my 20s and my peers are pros in tech. I have many questions but based on what I have explained. I have very useless vocational qualifications such as BTEC in business l2 and functional skills in english. Sadly I will never be a true professional working in an admirable field like medicine, engineering, banking, accounting, because it's already too late and I've missed out. I don't want to be a benefit reliant, outcast, unemployed, impoverished, hideous, failure anymore ! Baed on what Ive shared today, can you help me indetify a career pathway plan and get started and start living. Thank you in advance.

[@TheHumblePenny]

Challenging. The thing to note about my journey is that it has all taken more than a decade. I'm 36 and you're 24. You have a 12 year advantage. I personally think there are 2 things you need to work on: 1) Mindset 2) Skillset For #1 you need a change of environment and people in your life. Aim to put yourself in environments where you'll meet people doing what you want to do. #2 - Skillset - This requires work over time. No shortcuts here. But you'll be motivated to do the work if you have the right people around you. What town or City are you from? Do you have extended family members who inspire you?

[@TheEpic980]

Apprenticeships may be a good route to take, or possibly the Army Forces (RAF, Army, and Royal Navy). If you're willing to put in the HARD work you can easily earn 17,000-20,000+ whilst learning an in-demand skills. Furthermore, the Army Forces can contribute a large percentage to your educational needs. (If you meet the necessary requirements.)

I agree that mindset is really important! I need to work on my own after feeling totally destroyed. I thought I knew what I wanted to do when I was 20 which was to become a doctor.

I’m currently in my final year of BEng in mechanical engineering and wondering if should go on to doing a masters and then eventually PhD but idk if its worth it anymore. Because I have a huge interest and passion for the topic that I want to do my masters + PhD in but PhD is basically 14.5k a year and that’s IF the research council will fully fund my maintenance cost. Whereas, people with my same experience (BEng grads) will be getting about 28k at entry level for three years or more as they gain more years of experience (engineering has about a minimum of an average of 11% pay increase after three years) and that’s just the base margin since you could be getting more than 28k at entry level and my PhD would be 3 years and while I’d be getting 14.5k a year for 3 yrs, I could be losing out on 28k+ a year for 3 yrs :/ and it’s actually frustrating me so much because idk if I should favour my personal interest / passion over money bc I want to become financially free as soon as possible/ buy a house for my parents asap at least 😫 .

@@TheHumblePenny well from a general practice point of view a hard working GP who does a mixture of different clinics would usually have a cap at 200k-210k.

If I’m trying to be an accountant to make 6 figures how long will this take, I’m 15 and deciding on what to take in college, so would it be a good idea to choose btec engineering and accountant as courses ? Just because I’m not sure exactly what I want yet

You can! I did Maths, Chemistry and Biology but ended up training as an Accountant! Note, we'll be covering all this in our career series about "How Much Do Accountants Make?". Keep an eye out and see what we have already created in this series so far...We've done "Software Engineer", "KZbinr" and soon "Surgeon"

[@anoziekelechi]

Hi Ken, thank you for your videos. I am currently doing my ACA training in practice. It was difficult to get training in industry to begin with as I did a chemistry degree. How easy would you say it is to move from practice to industry? As I do not see myself in practice in the long run, my intention has always been to work in industry especially in investment.

[@TheHumblePenny]

Firstly, huge congrats for getting onto your ACA! No small thing. Secondly, it is OK to be doing the ACA in practice. That is normal. The move to industry is also quite easy. Aim to ace your ACA if possible. I had first time passes for all papers and that certainly helped but it is not a requirement ofcourse.

Hi Ken, absolutely love your content! Currently in the final stages of completing My CIMA qualification(went this route as I didn’t enjoy audit) I was just wondering if it was worth pursuing and MBA further down the line? Figuring out a cost vs benefit analysis

[@TheHumblePenny]

Hi Riccardo Thank you! 😀 CIMA is a great qualification to do. However, it marks you out as a Management Accountant most of the time and potentially an analyst doing an FP&A role. If you have ambitions of going into Senior Management one day, I'd highly recommend a course such as an MBA or Executive MBA. The latter preferrably. It is a good way to show that you have acquired some of the softer skills and mindset for senior management. Although it's cliche, it certainly gives you an advantage over many who just have CIMA qualifications or even those with ACAs. The key with an MBA being worth your while is *where* you do it. That will determine the perceived value rather than what you actually learn. This is why, for example, I chose Cambridge (Judge Business School). I could equally have chose London Business School. Both highly regarded. But Cambridge offered me the heritage etc and I wanted to network with non-bankers. Hope that helps 😀

Hi Ken, I'm a 26 y.o CTA for top four but I would like to get into management accounting but literally getting nowhere with interviews. As a CFO do you have any tip that can get me any further than I'm current getting? Thanks

[@TheHumblePenny]

Hi Matthew This is the same challenge that I faced trying to leave Audit into Industry. It was a catch 22 because I didn't have Management Accounts (MA) experience but I wanted a Management Accounting role. Plus I wanted it in industry and paying me £40k+ So here is what I did - I needed to *show* that 1) I had MA experience (no matter how small) and 2) I understood MA e.g. Month End process etc and I knew how to put together a set of Management Accounts. 3) My personality was one suited to hard deadlines and that I was a likeable guy etc. I banked on Personality. #1 and 2 I needed to get an interview. #3 I needed at Interview. #1 I got by talking about my review of Management Accounts during my audits etc. I also talked about doing management accounts for my family business. #2 I got from asking people on LinkedIn (people who were in the position I'm in today) to talk to me practically about MA. I'd offered to meet and buy them lunch etc. #3 I got from psyching myself up and in my mind imagining myself in that job. I practised this role play so much that I was pretty much there in my mind. And so when I spoke about Management Accounting at Interview, I spoke with enthusiasm and authority. Plus I *thoroughly* researched the companies I interviewed and so my enthusiasm gave me an advantage 😀. The above in summary is how I made that first leap. You need to model it and apply it to your situation.

[@mickyh93]

Currently a mechanical design engineer but unfortunately the progression and money is actually OK but nowhere near to finance and I would have to go into contracting / consultancy to make the top money. If I wanted to pivot career to CFA for example what is the best way to start from this position? Really want to progress into CFO style roles and develop the softer skills.

[@TheHumblePenny]

What you need is a qualification that gives you access to pivot. One that shows you have potential to do leadership type roles rather than just technical ones. I'd suggest an Executive MBA. It's expensive and has to be seen as an investment. Preferrably, you want an existing employer paying for some of those costs. For CFO specifically, you'll need an accounting qualification e.g. ACA to have an edge, plus experience. For other leadership type roles, an Executive MBA will help. For Investment Management path into Senior Investment Director, etc, a CFA accelerates that journey. There are investment firms (Venture capital) with a niche in science, etc. You could approach such firms so that your current technical skill works in your favour.

[@mickyh93]

@@TheHumblePenny Thanks for the advice! I had thought of a MBA before but couldn't get the funding from my employer but maybe my new employer is different on this.

Love your videos😊 Super inspiring... I’m curious.. to what degree do you think good fortune (coupled with your obvious capabilities, of course) had in your meteoric rise in accounting? My experience has been different: I’d like to advance from middle management after taking a two year career break then finding out the role was no longer available upon my return... I was at senior manager / associate director level in an accountancy firm for 4 years prior to my career break and I’m not sure how to move to the next level (my accounting qualifications: ACA and CIPFA)... I’d be very keen to hear your thoughts on how someone in my position could pivot from accounting or progress into senior management positions as a chartered accountant. PS I’m black and I’m a woman 😊 oh and I have an MBA....... and yet, I’m still unemployed after job hunting since Oct 2019... surely taking a career break should not completely derail my career?

[@TheHumblePenny]

Thanks , Eve Tats! Glad you love them 😊. Ok you have an interesting situation. First, have I had good fortune? Yes and No. Yes, because I honestly believe I'm a fortunate person in so many ways. Long story but things work out for me... very thankful for this. No - Because I do things VERY differently to a lot of people. You'll see what I mean when you watch the video on Thursday. Now onto you - ACA, CIPFA, MBA. Crikey! A few things immediately come to mind: 1) How old are you? Hopefully I can ask you this on KZbin 😉 2) How would you judge your people skills? 10 being highly personable. 3) What is your overall attitude to risk? 10 being highly risk loving. 4) A general observation - You're limiting your options to just practice. You need to get out. I'll share more based on your responses.

Doing things differently to move forward is what I want to do too...

I’m 40 😊Love being 40 but I’m keen to start realising my career and financial dreams (I suppose 2 year career break didn’t help)... 2. People skills - I’d say 6 or 7 in general... had to hone this skill as my roles since qualifying have been client facing. I am sometimes an 8 when I’m inspired, excited and/or passionate. 3. I’m definitely a risk taker - I’ve learnt to couple this trait with a bit more thought to avoid “silly” losses... 😬 4. Totally agree... I would love to hear your thoughts on career progression in accountancy (outside of practice) and / or pivoting into another career without starting from scratch... If you do some one on one coaching, I’d be keen to find out more...

Make sure you watch today's new video when it goes live between 3 and 4pm. I've been thinking about your comment. You seem like you have the right energy, skills, and attitude for much success. I'd HIGHLY recommend a move out of practice. It's not quite the place to make the type of money that you might want. You want to go to a place where you'll grow to have some influence and take on C-Level quickly. Being a *black woman* as well, you have advantages that you need to use. Don't for a second think of any of that as a disadvantage. You're sitting on opportunity that you need to use if understand how 😀. Anyway, give me a shout if you want via coaching form.

[@TheHumblePenny]

Zizi, thanks a lot! :) Psychology is an important degree to have. Especially when it comes to money, investments, business, etc. With Accounting and Business, a credible qualification is the ACA (ICAEW). This is one of the qualifications that I have. As you already have a degree, you can get exemptions to 1 or 2 exams. Basically, you need one of these technical qualifications if you want to start of a good career in accounting or business. Ofcourse, you can use you existing degree and knowledge to start a business that then becomes successful. However, if you want to go down the career path, it helps to have a decent "professional qualification". Here is a link to the qualification that I mentioned: www.icaew.com/learning-and-development/aca You can also do the ACCA, but my preference would be ACA (I'm biased, but I know what I'm talking about too) :)

[@benhomer1]

James Batchelor ACA is focused more on technical accounting skills and audit - more suited to practice. CIMA is focused on a combination of accounting, management and strategic thinking (I did this route) and is designed for people in industry. I chose the industry route as in my experience it is a lot more hands on with the ability to influence the operations on a day to day basis “behind the figures” rather than putting together year end figures or carrying out audits after the events with limited influence on the businesses you are working on. (I started out in practice and hated it). I general terms in my experience industry wages also have a much sharper increase as you progress.
