Five well-paid jobs for career changers – according to experts
1. Customer service jobs
A job in customer service requires a lot of communication and advice.
Job applicants would have the opportunity to contribute their expertise and help others with problems.
In addition, they represent the company to customers and are "the first point of contact for questions", as the description of the corresponding jobs for career changers in the article says, for example.
According to the personnel service provider, such jobs are considered “some of the best-paid career changer jobs” – they offer “an average starting salary of 1,500 to 2,000 euros gross per month”.
With more experience, this salary can increase “to around 2,500 to 3,000 euros gross per month”.
2. Administrative jobs
"Administrators are basically responsible for the planning, control and documentation of a company and have to be organizationally on the ball for this," says the article on
youngcapital.de
in general terms .
You often have to have a mathematical understanding of cost accounting and business knowledge.
These skills can be learned in a commercial apprenticeship.
"But there are also great job offers for career changers." What about the salary?
As an example of a well-paid job as a career changer in administration, the professionals cite a salary of “approx.
3,500 euros gross per month".
Of course there are gradations.
"As a beginner, this is a little lower, at around 2,500 euros gross per month."
3. Jobs in management consulting
Analyzing company strategies and business processes and advising companies on management, human resources and business plans: Anyone who enjoys something like this could - depending on the requirement profile - also have opportunities as a career changer for a job in management consulting.
The professionals give a few examples: As “one of the best-paid” jobs for career changers, a “management consultant job” offers an “average starting salary of EUR 3,500 gross per month”.
With more professional experience, one can earn "an average of 5,500 euros gross per month", according to the article.

4. Jobs at reception
Employees are also needed for "reception jobs".
"A logical way of thinking" and a relaxed approach to stressful situations are required here, as stated in the contribution by the personnel service provider in relation to a lateral entry, among other things.
For example, you are responsible for planning events and appointments.
You also receive customers, arrange important appointments with them and are therefore “often the first contact person” within the company.
As “one of the best-paid jobs for career changers”, the job at reception offers a “starting salary of around 2,000 to 3,000 euros gross per month”, the professionals describe.
With more experience you can “approx.
3,000 euros gross per month”.
5. Jobs in data collection
For “data entry jobs”, even career changers should demonstrate “proficient use of computers”, according to the
YoungCapital article
among other things.
The main tasks include "the acquisition of information by analyzing and filtering large databases".
This includes the safe use of software for data collection, input and maintenance of databases.
One is “responsible for maintaining data for hospitals, insurance authorities or private customers in such a way that everyone can access it quickly and easily,” the experts explain using these examples.
"The data entry job" falls into the category of well-paid jobs for career changers.
Here one can expect a salary “of approx. 2,400 to 2,700 euros gross per month”.
And even as a beginner you will get "at least 1,500 euros gross per month", according to the assessment.

Does the job offer appropriate development opportunities?
Of course, when choosing a job, not only the salary plays a role.
The working atmosphere, for example, and last but not least that the job suits you and is fun, are decisive for your own satisfaction.
In addition, one should also ask about individual development opportunities, according to the advice of career experts.
Professional reorientation - tips for career changers
Even with a lateral entry, it can be bumpy at first.
“Consider that in most cases the path to your dream job and to reorientation will not be straight.
No one has claimed that the reorientation will be easy or even uncomplicated," says an article on
Karrierebibel.de.
A little perseverance can pay off here, too.
