Uncovering The Top Paying Jobs In South Africa

By: PRLog
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - Feb. 20, 2016 - PRLog -- Finding a job is considered by most to be cumbersome, tedious and lengthy. In addition, the competitive job market adds extra pressure to those looking to find a job, and narrows down the pool of potential job vacancies as people are eliminated based on skills and experience, education, salary-requirements, and so forth.

Many people search for a job as opposed to a career, especially when first entering the job market. This is even truer now than ever before with the current economic situation, where having a job is imperative.

In addition to this, it is also not always that easy to know right off the bat what type of career one should follow. Thus, having a plethora of job categories available to browse through helps one to expose oneself to what is out there, thus increasing the likelihood of finding something suitable. Job search engines like Zigo, for example, have a comprehensive list of job vacancies on their site, where they provide job seekers with valuable information on available jobs and companies, thus making the search that much easier and less tiresome.

For those who may be interested in a new job opportunity or who are looking to broaden their career scope, these are the top paying jobs in South Africa:

Medical specialists are among the top earning professionals, with Neurosurgeons being the highest paid in this field. They require an advanced education and specialist clinical training. Their earning potential soars into 6 figures annually, with an estimated salary of over R4 million per year.

Actuaries are second on the list, with an earning potential of over R1 million per year. Other top paying jobs, respectively, are: pilots, management consultants, chartered accountants, IT managers, petroleum engineers, lawyers, software engineers and air traffic controllers.

While these high-paying jobs require immense skill, dedication, hard work, and qualifications, there is a need for skills development in the country to get South Africa to where it needs to be. By focusing on education, skills development and the potential of the youth, South Africa can flourish both professionally and economically.
