Considering going back to university to change careers... Is it actually worth the effort to get a high-paying job and what degrees are needed to reach the top levels!
been_there_done_thatWhat are the highest paying jobs in Belgium?
been_there_done_thatAccepted answer
map_readerIts mostly medical or legal or big tech. Surgeons make massive money. Cybersecurity experts can get between €60,000 and €110,000. Also senior investment bankers can hit €80,000 to €150,000 with there bonuses. A net starting salary of 5k in Belgium is considered an illusion for most employees. thanks, good luck

garden_teacher_70I have seen that lawyers and doctors often make much more money when they work as independents instead of being employees !
vibes_only_beTrue that. Most of the big money comes from working for foreign or international companies rather than local Belgian firms (it is much better for the paycheck anyway)!
expats_eyeworking in real estate i have noticed that reaching a net monthly salary of €5,000 as an employee is extremely rare. It usually takes about 15 years of experience to get there.
wafflelover882Under 26 you should look into the SIRA education program... it lets you do two days of school and three days of paid on-the-job training...
seen_it_all_beAI and robotics might reduce the demand for brain jobs like marketing or consultancy (it happened to some of my colleagues) in the coming years.
belgian_skepticMedical school provides a high income, but it is a very lengthy endeavor for adults, whereas dentistry may be a more manageable alternative...!
been_there_done_thatThanks for the help!
