Career Wages

The first career I'm interested in is being a pharmacist. The national average wage is $114,950 and the state average for Michigan is slightly lower at $113,100. Pharmacist is a high paying career. The next career is a psychiatrist. They make $177,520 a year nationally and $183,730 in Michigan. The third career I'm interested in is a nuclear engineer. Nuclear engineers nationally make $107,140 and in Michigan make about $118,300, much more than the national average. After this career my next career is a Mathematician. They average a salary is $101,280 nationally and  $97,490 in the state of Michigan. My final career is a General Pediatrician. Nationally they make $167,640 a year and in the state of Michigan they make about $152,670. After seeing this it opens my eyes that there is an immense difference between wages at the national and state level. Also different careers have larger earnings than I though so that is very interesting.
