For most people, salary, or earning potential, is an important consideration in the process of choosing a career. There are also other important factors to take into account, such as working conditions, required skills and qualifications, and availability of job opportunities.
The salary for a particular job role or career is influenced by numerous factors, including location, how scarce the relevant skills are in the geographical area, current trends in the economy, and the level of experience required for a particular job. Salaries are also influenced by the type of industry and the size of the organisation. It is therefore very difficult to compile an accurate list of careers and salaries.
