If you’re tired of never having cash and looking to make a career change, you might want to consider one of the jobs featured atop the list of a recent Robert Walters recruitment firm survey.
According to the firm, salaries in South Africa are set to increase by 7% in 2019, but top performing professionals with highly sought-after skill sets can expect to see rises of a whopping 10% to15%.
So, while a number of sectors remain under pressure, reports BusinessTech, these sectors are also among those set to earn some of the highest salaries.
In fact, the finance directors in these companies can expect to earn up to R3,5 million a year, and your partners at law firms are really lining their pockets:

Here are some of the best-paid jobs, according to Career Junction:
Whatever you do, just do it with integrity. Or, at the very least, try not to be a soulless corporate drone.
On another note, if you’re looking for a lawyer to help you immediately with something (and don’t feel like booking an appointment and wasting an hour), try TIMON – an app that lets you pay per minute to speak to lawyers and other experts on demand.
