Directors in Logistics Among Top 5 Highest-Paying Jobs: £72,117

Directors in logistics, warehousing and transport among top 5 highest-paying jobs in the UK – average salary £72,117.

Sky News has posted an interesting post on their Money Blog today looking at the highest-paying jobs in the UK.

Coming in at number five, the Office for National Statistics declares “Directors in logistics, warehousing and transport” bring home a very healthy average salary of £72,117 per year, not far-off the number one spot of “Chief executives and senior officials” who take home an average salary of £84,131 per year.

This is encouraging news and shows that logistics and international trade is still a booming industry and has developed into one of the top five highest paid jobs.

For those with an interest in logistics, I can safely say that with some hard word, foresight and dedication, there’s absolutely no reason why you too can’t become one of the top earners in the UK.

Barristers and Judges Rank Number 16, Earning Less Than Directors in Logistics

Barristers and judges are in 16th place earning just £52,416 per year which is very surprising as the cost to become a barrister could be up to £127,000 in education fees and living costs, during the 6 – 7 years it could take to become a barrister (including Pupillage and the one-year Bar course).

Compare this to the ABTS® Premium online courses we offer that teach you the practical knowledge you need to know to get a job in international trade for just £1099 which you can complete comfortably within a one month study period (and include one-to-one support).

You do the maths: By becoming a director in logistics you could earn £19,701 more than a barrister, study for one month online at a cost of £1099 instead of 6 – 7 years and a debt of £127,000 in education and living fees to become a barrister.

I know where my time and money would go but then again, I’m biased.
