The No. 1 spot goes to patrol officers, who enforce safety standards within an environment, respond to incidents, write reports and update records. Workers in this job earn a median annual salary of $61,380 per year, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. While patrol officers may not need a college education get started in the field, most candidates must graduate from their agency's training academy before moving on to on-the-job training. The BLS also notes candidates must be U.S.
While patrol officers are recognized as one of the best social services jobs, according to U.S. News, the ranking also recognizes the position's long hours and the high potential for job-related injury. However, the continued need for public safety enforcement means there's plenty of job security in the position.
The job outlook for the No. 2 best-paying job out of high school isn't as bright. Executive assistants stand to earn a median annual wage of $59,340, but the BLS projects 123,000 of these jobs will be lost through 2028. Clerical tasks including managing calendars and organizing information are increasingly becoming automated, and easier-to-use technology tools may result in executives managing their own schedules without help from an assistant.
Future prospects for the remaining roles on the top-paying jobs list are better, as many require technical specialties and are less likely to be displaced by emerging technologies within the next decade. Electricians, steelworkers and plumbers, for example, are more labor-intensive jobs whose job security is bolstered by the need to maintain existing buildings and construct new ones.
Similarly, as hearing aid technology improves and the aging population grows, the need for technicians to work with hearing loss patients will also increase. Hearing aid specialists are the No. 8 top-paid workers without a college education requirement, and they earn a median wage of $52,770 per year.10. Brickmason and blockmason
