According to a recent article on indeed.com , some six-figure U.S.
salaries in 2025 come from very surprising sources. Here are three uncommon career paths that could lead to considerable wealth.
TAKE A BREAK
The medicinal path to a quarter million. Podiatrists and periodontists are among the
most essential and valued medical professionals worldwide. Podiatrists specialize in treating injuries and conditions affecting the lower legs, ankles, and feet, while periodontists focus on treating gums and bones to preserve dental health. While both fields require intense education and training, they provide annual salaries of approximately $250,000 for anyone willing to go the distance. Big gains in gambling times. If you have five years of managerial experience and don’t mind the constant sounds of slot machines, you could pursue a career as a casino manager. In exchange for overseeing this fast-paced environment and ensuring the establishment stays compliant with state and federal laws, you could earn more than $145,000 a year. The perks of high-pay hacking. In a time when spam emails and identity theft run rampant, being a skilled hacker is rarely perceived as an honorable profession. However, many companies hire people to use their shadowy skills for ethical purposes. Commonly known in the business world as “white hat hackers,” these professionals utilize their expertise to test an employer’s online systems and networks for potential security weaknesses. Those pursuing this in-demand position can earn at least $200,000 annually. Whether you’re drawn to health care, hospitality, or the highest levels of today’s tech, these examples point to a bright future for anyone looking for a left-of-center route toward earning a great living.
