Accounting is overlooked despite solid pay. About 75% of US accountants retire in the next 15 years, tightening supply and raising wages. Salaried roles hit $150,000–$200,000, and competent people can buy retiring firms with minimal upfront capital.
Jobs that make bank, but no one talks about them. I think one of the best is actually accounting. So 75% of accountants in the US are set to retire in the next 15 years, and that means there's a lot of money to be made here. Whenever supply for a particular job goes down, wages go up. It's just common sense, right? But the other cool thing here is that if you're somewhat entrepreneurial, there's opportunity to buy out these retiring firm owners and become a business owner yourself. You could even potentially sell or finance the firm. So you don't even need a lot of money upfront. You just have to be able to prove that you're not going to run it into the ground around. And for the less entrepreneurial types who are still good at accounting, you can easily land a $150,000 or $200,000 job working for another firm.
