5 Highest Paying Career Paths for Women

5 Highest Paying Career Paths for Women

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, over 57.1% of women in the United States are part of the labor force; this number rose from 50% in 1980. Although the gender gap is highly evident in workplaces worldwide, women are stepping up and earning competitive pay. Here are 5 of the highest-paying career paths for women: 

  1. Business Leadership

If you're a born leader, this career path will give your leadership skills the wings to fly. A chief executive has the primary responsibility for making overall corporate decisions, planning, implementing operations, and acting as a communication bridge between corporate clients and the board of directors. This board, along with its shareholders, elects the chief executive of the company. Today there are over 300,000 women CEO's around the world. In the U.S., their estimated annual income is around $99,000-$100,000.  

  1. Healthcare

For women who want to improve the general population's well-being, healthcare is the way to go. Nurse practitioners are registered nurses, and they have additional nursing experience and education as well. You will be required to get a master's degree in this field along with a state license. As a nurse practitioner, you can work independently or collaborate with physicians to provide primary and specialty health care. You'll be able to diagnose and treat illnesses, provide medicinal prescriptions and interpret tests. In the U.S., nurse practitioners earn an average annual income of $95,000 - $99,000.

  1. Mental Well Being

Now that we're talking about physical well-being, another extremely well-paying job is a mental health professional. Psychologists conduct studies of their client's brain behavior and functions. They provide treatment plans for relevant disorders to improve their quality of life. To be a certified psychologist, you will need to acquire a doctoral degree in psychology and then get a license through the state's licensing board. On average, female psychologists in the United States make around $70,000- $75,000 a year.

  1. Law

If the country's law and justice system intrigue you, then a lawyer is what you should be. They advise their clients about the current law and present cases at court proceedings. To become a lawyer, you'll need a minimum four-year bachelor's degree followed by a law school. In the United States, lawyers are required to pass the state's bar exam. This career will give you an annual income of $90,000- $95,000.

  1. Human Resources

If you have a psychology major and don't want to practice, then another highly-paid career path is human resources management. An H.R. manager holds the responsibility for the company's recruitment, interviews, and hiring process. This job will give you an annual income of $65,000-$70,000.
