9. School District Superintendent
Average annual salary: $154,457
If you think being a school principal would be cool, how about becoming the person who is there to hire and fire school principals? That’s exactly what school district superintendents, who rank 9th on our list of easiest jobs to get right out of college, do. They’re the CEOs of the district. There are downsides, however. You have to work with interest groups in the district: teachers, students, parents, staff, advocates, and the community in general. Great managerial skills are required here. A school district superintendent decides on using the financial and human resources of the district in the best way possible. But when you look at the average yearly earnings, it could be said that everything pays off nicely.
