Great Entry Level Job for a High School Diploma or GED That Can Lead to Better Pay

 

Sometimes it really pays to start in an entry level position.  The Patient Transporter position is a perfect example.  It pays well and, if full time, gives you benefits that you can use to move up the ladder.  The entry below is another excerpt from my book "Top Paying Jobs For High School Graduates".  This position is generally a starting position in a hospital, which also may provide tuition reimbursement and other training opportunities that will help you move into a higher paying position.  Tuition reimbursement is offered to employees in addition to their regular pay in order to help them become as valuable as possible, as opposed to a retail or fast food restaurant position that does not offer these opportunities, forcing you to pay for further education and training out of your own pocket.  They know that employees still need to use their own pay for rent, food, utilities, etc.  Larger corporations and organizations generally offer better benefits, so research those benefits online before applying or interviewing.  I grew up in a small town and was shocked, once I moved to the "big city" , at all the opportunities employers provide to employees with the goal of attracting and keeping the best talent.  Also be aware that some organizations may include a period of time you will need to stay employed by them after completing the advanced degree, and they may expect repayment if you leave within that period of time.  This is to insure that you use  your education to benefit the employer that paid for it.
