Hey there,

Great question!

Of course, this is always changing. But here is a quick list of some of the highest paying jobs in IT / CS — basically, tech in general. (And at the end, I have some other resources you can look to.)

9 High Paying Jobs in Tech:

Overall, tech/IT jobs tend to pay more than other industries—especially given the fact that little schooling is needed. Versus, say, becoming a doctor. Are doctors paid more? Usually. But a lot more education and training is involved in becoming a doctor!

With most of the jobs above, all you need is a bachelor’s degree…or less.
