Do you want to get rich? I wouldn't mind, and I tend to believe many of us would. But as we know money does not grow on trees, and usually if you want to have a lot of money, one way is to have a high paying job.

I might have fared better had I taken the steps to become what my first career choice was - architecture. But I think my less than stellar math abilities would have prevented any success in that field.

So I chose radio. Don't need much math for that job, and I can just use a calculator for whatever math problems I come across. If you are curious just what are the top paying jobs in the Binghamton area, according to the ZipRecruiter website, here are some of them.

Do you have the skills to take on one of these high paying jobs? If so, maybe fortune is in your future. But, we don't have to be rich to be happy...right?! All price ranges are quoted through the ZipRecruiter.com website as of 2023 and are just averages.
