April 24th, 2009

If you’re earning minimum wage or just above it, I bet you’ve considered how much better your life could be if you earned more per hour. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) states that minimum wage will be $7.25 per hour starting on July 24, 2009, and is even less for the next few months.

Did you know that many of U.S. College Search’s most popular training programs lead to careers that earn almost double that amount? Imagine what you could do with double your salary – what a difference that could make to your future, your family, and your lifestyle. The good news is, these jobs are well within your reach!

CNN and CareerBuilder.com have compiled a  list of 20 jobs that pay a median hourly wage of $20, which means an average of $41,600 a year based on a 40-hour workweek. And guess what? Many of these 20 careers are in fields that you can train for at a USCS school! You can train to become a massage therapist, paralegal, truck mechanic, electrician or one of hundreds of other careers, and build yourself a better life.
