Hi as a mom what are the most high paying jobs (in your opinion)

[Cely]

Thank you

Same as for Dads: owning a successful business, certain Finace and Law roles, IT Sales if you're good at it.

If you want to balance high pay and still have flexibility, I recommend a degree in statistics, economics, or computer science and getting into the technology sector. There is a tendency to just care that the work gets done, without a need for proscribed schedules.

Medicine can pay well and allow people to work part-time, but you still have appointments to keep.
Law can work depending on what area you pursue, but again the schedule may be somewhat rigid.
Finance often comes with insane hours and people are tied to the markets if they want to be among the highest earners, but there are other paths.

Which jobs are best paying aren’t a matter of opinion, they are a matter of fact. Google or AI can assist you with this.

Exactly the same as for men: senior managerial, entrepreneurial, and professional roles.

Same as for dads, or childfree people. What on earth do you mean ‘as a mom’?

I don’t understand what you mean? Why would anyone have a different notion about what jobs pay well, on account of them being a mother?

The highest paying jobs are the same whether you are a mum, a dad or not a parent. What a weird question OP.

Sorry I think we need more context...

As a mum? You mean jobs one can do flexibly whilst juggling childcare? And why in anyone's opinion? How much jobs pay is a fact not an opinion.

So without further context I'd say there are mums out there as tech start up CEOs pulling in salaries of millions 😉They employ nannies and have stay at home husbands.

Now sure if that's what you meant though?

In their opinion?

I find it absolutely hilarious you'd suggest medicine as a combo of well paid and flexible 😂

The best paid jobs in medicine are consultant level roles in high-stakes stuff like surgery. I can assure you brain surgeons are not allowed to leave mid-operation to do the school run

Tech tends to pay well and tends to be flexible. I recommend maths/science/etc degrees

I’m pretty well paid in cybersecurity governance, risk and compliance but as the industry is only 17% women in the UK and I’m one of only 5% of the leadership roles fulfilled by women I’m guessing it wouldn’t be considered a ‘mum’ job.

Not true. All jobs in medicine at the same level pay the same per session (usually 10-12 sessions) regardless of the actual job. A high stakes neurosurgeon, or an obstetrician at very high risk of getting sued, gets paid exactly the same as a rheumatologist or a pathologist, which are both a bit less stressful (I hear)

I did not say it allowed for flexible hours, I said some people manage to work part time. There is a big difference.
my neighborhood is full of part-time doctors and nurses. Rigid schedules, but plenty of family time.

I'm my mum opinion top class sportsperson is one of the highest paying jobs

What are you hoping to get from this thread, asking mums, dads or non parents isn't going to change the factual answer

@Ponderingwindow same here, loads of doctors at 60%. Rigid hours, hard work, but tons of free time, but salary at the degree of part time isn’t that good anymore. Plus the way to get to that level is hard!

But tech works well for flexibility and income but requires a focus on maths

Accountancy in the more technical but still non-senior areas. Pay is nearly as good as a senior finance manager but without all the meetings and line management responsibilities. Plus can choose your hours outside of key reporting times.
