This is for America so it's likely different in other countries.
These are the average salaries not starting.
However this are not supervisory or managerial positions so you won't need 10 years to get to this level . Some positions offer higher starting salaries than others
Also, since many positions are remote you can live for cheap in a foreign country and find a remote job in a high earning state like New York
Cost for the tech bootcamps range from $500 to 15k. The bootcamps are 6-12 months

4 years of paid for training and salary increases each year
So basically it's free to become an elevator Repairman/installer and you are paid while training. At the end of the training your salary goes up to the highest of all trades
Steps to land one of these jobs.
1. Find out what one suits your interests and skills or abilities.
2. Join groups like on LinkedIn and reach out to professionals on the best current certifications to obtain. Call companies that higher these professions and ask the same questions and if they offer internships.
3. If you are in a foreign country then see if this profession can work remotely for American businesses to max out your salary.
4. See if you can get the training for free. This could be through your state federal or local government. This could be through non profit organizations, scholarships, family, a zero percent interest 18 month credit card, etc.
5. Pay for the course and do your best to complete it full time and if possible move into a friend or family members house while you train if you are not on unemployment or don't have enough saved up to live and train but not work at all. If you can just do a part time job and survive then that's ok.
6. A month or 2 before you complete the course starts applying for internships and preferably paid ones and ones that can potentially lead to a full time job.
7. After completing the internship, hopefully you have a full time job with the same company but if not, apply for other jobs 1.5months before completion of the internship. Get help from local employment services
8. While working learn as much as possible volunteer for as many things as you can to learn and grow. If your job has high potential as a freelancer or small business then see what certifications, skills, etc businesses want to see. Over the next 2 to 3 years develop those abilities.
9. If your field does have a solid outlook for freelancing then take the leap once you are ready. This allows you to set your price for what you believe your work is worth. As your part-time freelancing grows and if it surpassed your salary as a wage slavery for three straight months then jump in. You have a much higher earning potential after you create your own site. Most sites probably take 10% to 20% from your pay. Having your own site you won't have that issue. You basically just keep your past clients information and let them know to contact you on your site from now on but continue to deliver high quality work on your freelancing site. Yes there's all kinds of social media, SEO, affiliates, etc to promote your work.
10.lf you are stuck as a wage slaver then you have 2 options, you can become a manager or use lateral mobility. For example a cyber security analyst can transfer over to a cyber security designer and go from 200k max to 261k max
11. If you are not stuck as a wage slaves but tired of being a freelancer and want 100% control then start your own business. You would have to own your own plane as a pilot or rent it out. As a developer or engineer you can build something and have an entire business model for that one product. You can hire out a team to assist you in building the idea you have. If you need to find the endeavour you can go on weshares, startengine or many other sites to crowdfund your idea. There are at leasb100 new projects on these sites daily. However 90% fail for various reasons but you get free money.
The tech jobs are boom or bust depending on the market and depending on the type of job or how high of a position you have. The trades are steady but don't have the top end potential unless you own your own plane. The elevator Repairman is a decent gig even though you have a low top end salary but you pay nothing for training and start making money on day one and locked in for a job at the end of your training. Moving to Montana offers a chance of having a low cost of living and the highest possible salary and as a union member I think you get a pension plan. The issue is you have to live in a large city for this job.
I understand this is the average salary and not entry level. Yes the training times and salaries are different outside of the US. However some of these positions you could potentially train and land a job remotely. Freelancing is your best bet.
Abilities for these jobs:
These positions all require above a 100IQ and most likely 120+ for developing jobs. Plus those jobs you need to have higher levels of creativity and be able to overcome problems constantly. With the trades you'll need good hand eye coordination.
Data engineer or data scientist is going to require an IQ over 140 minimum.
Cyber security analysts are basically 3d chess players as they need to be 3 steps ahead of hackers. The engineers need to have the ability to implement those plans.
Sales is interesting, it doesn't require a high IQ but a high social IQ or social awareness. Using tonality, body language, understanding psychology and how to manipulate people.
Recommendations
1. If you are a great chess player, test out the cyber security analyst field. Also, if coming up with great ideas on the fly is your thing then you will fit right in.
2. If you are great with recognizing patterns and developing algorithms then data scientist or engineer could be your best bet.
3. If you are great with sports that require solid hand eye coordination and spatial analysis like tennis, ping pong, boxing , baseball, etc then maybe the trades are best for you.
3. If you love telling stories and are a people person then the solar sales rep.
If I was starting from zero and given just these options, I would go into something I would enjoy, be good at naturally, has a high income potential as a wage slaver but also a potential to be a freelancer or business owner. Id also want to be able to work remotely and live anywhere I please. I did Cybersecurity analyst for a while but it had no real opportunity outside a wage slave job and I couldn't work outside of the US for a us job. AI machine learning sounds like the best opportunity with the highest earning potential, growth rate and potential for owning your own business.
