Nowadays, many people want to be entrepreneurs or involved in the corporate world to some degree. With that in mind, my next piece in the Make More Money weekly series explores the highest-paying job in business.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, institutions award over 365,000 business degrees every year.
Knowing the highest-paying positions is valuable data to have whether or not you possess one of these degrees.
But the best-performing people in business know the real secret to earning top dollar in the game.
Firstly, on paper, top-level executives have the highest average base pays:
| C-level Positions | Average Base Pay per Year |
| Chief Executive Officer (CEO) | $141,548 |
| Chief Operations Officer (COO) | $152,606 |

- After that, statistics point to the following three positions as the highest-paying:
| Next 3 Top-Paying Business Careers | Average Base Pay per Year |
| Financial Manager | $134,180 |
| Actuary | $118,372 |

However, I’ll let you in on a career path that can generate limitless income for you as a professional.
Where the real money is in business
It’s something I have decades of experience with. And it’s the job that many of my own highest-paid employees currently hold.
You guessed it — sales.
there’s no limit to the hundreds of thousands of dollars that you can earn with a job in sales.
Here’s what some professionals from my teams have to say about it all:
So, to conclude, the official list of the highest-paying jobs in business contains just averages. You’ll also notice that none of these averages exceed $150k a year.
For the opportunity to exceed any averages you could ever imagine, apply for a position on the 10X team and get closer to the financial freedom you deserve.
Be obsessed, beat the statistics, and consider a career in sales for immeasurable earning potential.
Be Great,
