How to Create Your Own High Paying Job: 37 Tips for Reaching Your Career Goals

By Dr. Gary S. Goodman

Are you unemployed? Or, are you overworked, underpaid, and stuck in a lifeless job, reporting to someone who doesn't seem to be doing much better than you are?

You're not alone. Corporations once needed large inflows of middle managers and the formally educated. Many of these posts have disappeared or have been displaced by outsourcing, offshoring, international competition, and by technology.

There is a widespread and growing under-employment problem facing almost every society.

Many are working at jobs that do not require the experience and schooling they possess. In the United States up to 44% are under-employed; in Canada this number is 40%.

Though there has been some job growth over the past few years, these jobs are mostly lower-paid without a solid ladder to success.

In this original and groundbreaking book, you'll learn how to develop your own highly compensated career opportunities.

I worked my way through college and grad schools. It wasn’t easy, learning full time and working full time. But it yielded some extraordinary benefits that I continue to cash-in today. Let’s skip to today and I’ll show you what I mean.

In the last week I have: (1) Practiced law; (2) Practiced real estate; (3) Sold a loan; (4) Contracted to write a book and record an audio version; (4) Pitched a corporate training program; (5) Coordinated my teaching assignments at two major universities; and more.
