Vanity fair...

Vanity of vanities, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. What profit hath a man of all his labor which he taketh under the sun?:lol:

Man, you sound like you have decided to to become a monk. Since you know all the stuff about Uzbekistan -- what are best-paying jobs in Uzbekistan? Just curious.

[Octavarium]

While in Tashkent I talked to a guy who runs a private law firm in Tashkent -- the guy's really smart -- they primarily work with the foreign companies doing buisnesses in Uzbekistan. So this guy told me that a maximum amount of money one can make in Uzbekistan (not violating the laws) is some $2000 a month. Well, I guess, it's not bad for Uzbekistan. But I thought maybe the guy did't really know the situation, so what is the max money one can make in Uzbekistan? -- certainly, we are not talking about corrupted officials who manage to build pretty houses with the salary of $50 a month. Though our dearest Studiosus might accuse me of vanity, I think it's really interesting to get to know what people do to make good money in Uzbekistan and how much they can earn working legally.

[Unique]

It's slightly an off-topic, but do you know how much E&Y, PWC employers in Tashkent earn? Most of my schoolmates hustle to those companies after graduation, but they hire very few applicants per year.

PS. According to the link you provided, most of the well paid jobs are in the sphere of medicine. My mom always told me to study medicine ((.

[Gateway]

Well paid positions in UZB:
- In the international financial institutions: WB, ADB, UNDP, USAID etc.
Their salary is up to $2,000
- In the projects financed by IFI:
Their salary is about ~$500
May be there are others that I don't know.

One more reason to listen to your parents :) While a kid, I dreamt of becoming a surgeon -- until the age of 10 I was saying around that I'd be a doctor, but at that age I suddenly realised I was so much scared of blood. This ruined my ambitions to become a doc.

I can easily deal with blood and stuff like that. But I thought that it'd be too overwhelming to study 10 or more years at medical school. Additionally, I hated chemistry. I regret big times right now.
Anyway, marketing manager is also included in that top 25 list. I'm at least happy for that. :D
By the way, those, who work at the US Embassy also get paid at a reasonable cost.

Yeah, but would you really want to work at the US embassy? :rolleyes:

[rosefire]

America's worst paying jobs maybe on campus jobs cause they pay even less than standard minimum.

Not all of them but prep cooks or dishwashers and etc. There are some on campus jobs (e.g. student ambassador), which pay $10-$15 per hour. :D

My dear fellows, job is Set of specific duties for a specific employer. Jobs may be paid or unpaid, part time or full time and of short or long duration. Defined word here- employer. If one has a business, hi no more works for employer, he works for himself!!!!

Basing upon my personal experience, I can say that freelance translator may be a pretty cool and well-paid job in Uzbekistan. Of course, given that most of the US orgs and businesses are ousted from Uzbekistan, the space for freelance translators/interpreters
is rather limited, but if you've got good communication skills and some charm, you can secure $800-1000 a month.

For those in USA, PM me and I will tell you what the best-paying job in US and Canada and you can even be part of it. For real. It pays from 2,000 a month to a million a year. It is a new business but growing fast and will soon enter each household.

[rosefire]

in my uni they pay $5.15 minimum, they say that they will raise eventually but they do not. I had worked in the uni library for a bout a year but got paid same amount throught the year. offcampus they start from $7, I believe. and u can get the raise according to the hours u work and weekend differences, extra for overtime or evening hours.

Jaguar, I said less than minimum to just empasize the meening of less payment per hour comparing to other jobs They can't pay less than minimum wage unless there are tips like a waiter or waitress.

US House of Reps voted for the raise. Now the Senate should do it and if the president signs it, it will go into effect. They will also give some tax benefits to small businesses to make up for financial loss due to the raise in wages.

yeah medical field is the good one. Nursing degree is also one of the well paid jobs in US with benefits, u can get degree within 3-4 years. it is a very good option, if u are sure u can stay here. If u have to go back to Uzb after getting degree, ur nursing degree will not work in UZb as it does here. Oh, I have made tons of researches about it while I was thinking switching my major. yes, best paying jiobs can be in medicine sphere in US. However, you cannot even imagine how freakin hard it is to become a surgeon. how many years it takes and how miuch you nhave to study and how klong you whave to work in hospitals for free. you will have no time for family at most times. the thing is in the state of GA you can check online the audit report for the State of Ga. It means you can check the salary of any person who work at public places(universities, governor's office etc.)

My university is a big public university and I searched for our University Presidents salary, which is slighter above 500 thusand per year. However, a surgeon who works for university hospital and at the same time teaches at Med school makes freakin 2 mln dollars per year. I was shocked.:)

Btw he is not a human surgeon, he is an animal surgeon. :lol:

[rosefire]

yeah, it has been over one year since they are thinking about rasing a minimum wage. still they didn't. who knows I will be graduating untill they change it :rolleyes: US House of Reps voted for the raise. Now the Senate should do it and if the president signs it, it will go into effect. They will also give some tax benefits to small businesses to make up for financial loss due to the raise in wages.

[UzLand]

give us more details. is this temporary, seasonal or regular job? is it part-time or full-time? for students or professionals? does it tequire professiional degree or not? if it's telemarketing or salesmen positon, it's not even wiorrth a PM.:lol:

Full-time personal business with huge tax deduction opportunities. Works for anyone. Selling a service that most Americans need right now. Competition - zero. No other company is involved in this. Market is huge. Only 2 percent Americans have that service. Demand is high. Every minute 177 people are in need of this service. And yet its costs outside of the scope of this company are disproportionate to their earnings.

Is this some sort of pyramid scheme to make you rich? :lol:

No, the company has made profit consecutively in last several years and has solid shares at the New York Stock Exchange. Around 65 dollar per share.

Companies on the New York Stock Exchange can not be pyramids. Plus for those who are really deep into publicly traded companies, all publicly traded companies are heavily regulated under the Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) laws and are required to have full disclosure.

yNursing degree is also one of the well paid jobs in US with benefits, u can get degree within 3-4 years. it is a very good option, if u are sure u can stay here.

Nursing is considered one of the underpaid jobs as the risk vs. pay is really off and hence there is a shortage of nurses in US. They have horrible hours and have to work under different conditions (such as nurses that work with AIDS patients have risk of getting infected) and their pay although 40's and up is not considered a high pay for the job. :D

Another underpaid job is teaching. Although they have good benefits teaching is not an easy profession and is underpaid.

Nursing pays better than that now and because of the demand you make a lot of money. Teachers are not underpaid because they are paid a full year for working 8 months out of the year. ;) If they worked 12 months they would be doing very well and there is nothing stopping them from doing this actually. :cool:

* Selling a type of insurance over the phone/internet - Most likely

* Something even more sinister

[rosefire]

u do not have to work in high risky areas if u choose to. there are different nursing positions. Choose radiology or mamogram fields or information management in nursing, which is rapidly growing area and there are very high demand. u can do really good money if u have a bachelor or master's degree in info management in nursing. or take pharmacy field. overall u can find safe areas of medical field if u really want to

yeah, but overall to get to that degree most positions require 2-4 years of field or hospital experience... And if we talk about nursing in general most of the nursing positions are high risk. So may be specifying the kind of nursing would be a good idea...:D

[melo]

you think so? a fresh PHD holder from USC got a job in our business school last year. Starting salary is 175k.

lemme know if 175 k for age of 26-27 is underpaid.;)

Besides, teaching is FUN for some people. It depends on the personality.:)

Is he the president's son? :rolleyes: :lol:

[rosefire]

yeah u are right. sorry for talking in general.:uups:

but, there are tons of ways to lessen the risk at the work places in hospital areas. one should be very careful, and follow safety instructions all the time and he/she will be fine. I agree with that there is high rist, that is why it is well paid. :D

well again, there are one out of thousand of teachers who might be well paid. But an average starting salary for teaching is low 30s to high 30s based on qualifications and yes thats underpaid.

Talking about Nursing.

Recently I'v discovered that there is also such thing as CLNC - Certified Legal Nurse Concultant. It is a registered nurse who uses existing expertise as a healthcare professional, concults on medical-related cases at fees of $100-$150/hour. Not every attorney knows how to read medical records or understand the terminology and subtleties of healthcare issues and since the CLNC is the expert on nursing, the healthcare system they assist with discovery, conducting research, reviewing medical records, identifying standards of care, preparing reports and summaries on the extent of injury or illness.
You don't have to work long hourse at risk, and be underpaid.
And you don't need to have BSN or legal nurse consulting experience.

As far as I know, they get paid very well.

And again we are missing a point that in GENERAL nurses work in the hospitals. Once you have the base experience than it might be a different story and even than not all of them will have such opportunities... So i think when you generalizing you need to look at starting salary and average salary and 100/hr is not the average nursing salary...:D An RN on average makes anywhere between 32K to 67K.... Thats not high, that actually sucks... I got these numbers from salary.com

[UzbekGirlie]

I think you gotta be Super Nurse to make 100 per hour. uzbekgirlie, whats your profession if not secret? except for party lover profession:D

:D I work as a Project Manager for a for-profit that helps non-profits...

And I agree about the super nurse comment. People that make that kind of money have been in the profession long enough to figure out other avenues. Otherwise it is hard.

[*mini*]

I think you gotta be Super Nurse to make 100 per hour. uzbekgirlie, whats your profession if not secret? except for party lover profession:D

U don't have to be Super NURSE to get 100/hour, you just have to know your job. As I said, u don't need to have BSN or Masters in Nursing, just have to be Certified Registered NURSE that knows the proffession. Ofcaurse some expirience in that field. if u smart enough, u can make even more ;) I have seen people who makes that much easily. There'v been a conference convention with CLNC, and I had a great chance to talk to some of them, and they are not Super Nurses, obviously they have some expirience.

I think in any proffession you have to have expirience to get higher salary.

Experience is the key word you used. Thats does not come off the bet. You need to know what you doing and to do that you have to have years of experience working in the hospitals (only place that will hire you without any experience) and the pay is not great. So lets agree that starting and average salary is not that high. meaning it does not qualify as high paying job. Some professions have a higher starting and average salary and those would be the ones to qualify. For example surgeons, gynecologists, chief executives, pilot - some of the few listed in the article above.

agreed, I can not say that Nursing is a high paying job. and not an easy job, however, if you continue your education in that field then maybe you can get little higher salary than RNs. but not as doctors, but it takes too long to become one. it all depends.

I heard u can get a nursing degree within in one year (however, it is a very intensive), if u have a four year bachelor degree in any field of study. Sounds very good option, cause u will have a different degree so u can use when u go back to Uzb, meanwhile u can do nursing here and still make good money if u choose to stay in the states. any thoughts about it?

if you have certain prerequisites, probably you may get one in a year.
Btw why would you go back to Uzb once you get ur Nursing degree?

Another thing i heard, if you have your Nursing degree from Uzb you can take an transition exam that consists of 3 tests 1.Clinical, 2.Written, 3.Practical. If you pass, u don't need to go to school. (but u have to know english :lol: )

pre paid legal services.

most info is on the about section of the companys' website:

http://wserver0.prepaidlegal.com/newCorp2/about_us/about_us.html

so you need to be a lawyer or what? or as a salesmen for the company?

from the ooprtunities section, it smells like an insurance agent. You call insurance companies and choose between the insurance plans they offer. I guess it;s the same for thsi compoany too. Instead of insurance companies you got law firms.

correct me if im wrong, but it;s nothing else but sales posiion. Dont get offended everybody does sales, financial planners etcm, they al do sales, although they use difefrent terminology, but in practice its the same shit.:)

there is one difference though...you are selling an extremely important and useful service...177 new cases each minute, not everyone can afford 200-300 dollars an hour, especially if it is a trial...you are selling for a company that knows no competitors and selling at a price lower than auto and health insurances...no co-pay or deductables...nationwide coverage, all areas of jurisprudence...only the traffic tickets you may have to pay for in one year will buy you at least a one year membership in PPD...most importantly, extra confidence when you know you will have the support of a law firm behind you...you use the service for yourself and sell it to others, but unlike other types of insurances, it has several commission levels...build a good network and you won't even need a pension...what is the best thing about it, if you build a good paying network, even when you die, your wife, after her your kids will continue receiving your money...and many other details, like legal assistance hotline when you are stopped by police at night, help with IRS, contract reviews, will arrangement - many other things Americans usually would pay thousands for a few bucks a month...

there is one difference though...you are selling an extremely important and useful information...177 new cases each minute, not everyone can afford 200-300 dollars an hour, especially if it is a trial...you are selling for a company that knows no competitors and selling at a price lower than auto and health insurances...no co-pay or deductables...nationwide coverage, all areas of jurisprudence...only the traffic tickets you may have to pay for in one year will buy you at least a one year membership in PPD...most importantly, extra confidence when you know you will have the support of a law firm behind you...you use the service for yourself and sell it to others, but unlike other types of insurances, it has several commission levels...build a good network and you won't even need a pension...what is the best thing about it, if you build a good paying network, even when you die, your wife, after her your kids will continue receiving your money...and many other details, like legal assistance hotline when you are stopped by police at night, help with IRS, contract reviews, will arrangement - many other things Americans usually would pay thousands for a few bucks a month...

Do they also accept Uzbekistan Nursing degree ???


ON: Man unda uzbekistondan sotib olaman nursing degreeni?!:P ;) :cool:

I believe they do. I see no reason why not.
Just transfer your credits and pass the exam. But that exam is very difficult as far as i know, but if you have expirience in that field it shouldn't be that hard for you as long as you know english well enough to pass it.

[UzLand]

I forgot to mention unlimited free legal consultations over the phone. Usually you get only 30 minutes for free. First year you get 55 hours of free trial defence.

could u give me some more info about tests, please? after passing those tests, can u work like Registered Nurses here? is there any links do u know talks more about test processes and staff?

thanks Mini for the infoif you have certain prerequisites, probably you may get one in a year.
Btw why would you go back to Uzb once you get ur Nursing degree?

Another thing i heard, if you have your Nursing degree from Uzb you can take an transition exam that consists of 3 tests 1.Clinical, 2.Written, 3.Practical. If you pass, u don't need to go to school. (but u have to know english :lol: )

Uzland aka, plz tell us what is average salary of Jurnalists in US????!!!:uups:


Just curious......................................:P ;) :P

Salaries in this field can vary tremendously. Reporters working for the largest news organizations in big cities can make very good salaries, some even reaching into the six figures. Those working for small papers or radio stations in small towns, on the other hand, make very low salaries, often less than $20,000 a year. According to the Ball State University Salary Survey, television news reporters earned an average salary of about $30,000 a year in 2004 while radio reporters earned average salaries of about $24,500 a year. Top earning television news reporters can earn more than $200,000 annually.
In Virginia, most reporters and correspondents earned salaries in the $20,000 to $51,000 range with a median of about $31,000 in 2005.

Uzland aka, I will tell you the biggest secret of all the time in sales industry. (pls write it down somewhere:D )

To be successful in sales industry, how big the company is, how many clients it has, what kind of reputation of this company, how big the commision is etc. These things are NOT inmportant. It depends on the personality, your human skills and communication skills and even your look. You can be just a real estate agent and make millions per year. That's why this type of job called unstable.;)

I agree. I also agree that skills come with practice. At some point you have to begin. Stop admiring those who went through the same thing and are now making millions, be the one yourself. The advantage of PPD is that it makes your work easier - no competition, high demand, little investment. May be 5-10 years from now this market will also be taken, but for now it is yours.

One thing though...you work for yourself. At a regular work, you still have to work for 8 hours and do certain assignments. Why not do them for yourself and independently? You get the license for 50 dollars only. They are running a promotion. Later it may be 250.

Residency in US or Canada. SSN. Belief in your strength, openness to learning new things, license and willingness to work:)

Inshallah, some day.. I didn't say you make a million in one week. The guy who is one of the top executives now made his first million after 3 years. A guy I know in NJ makes 10,000 a month. He started 6 months ago. He has his main job too. Half of the sales come from your efforts and the other half will come from people who will sign up for the business through you.

[Vector]

back 7-8 years ago there was someone making $15000 a day in tashkent...

anyway, is it true that in US campus a wage is around $5? :shock: in Uk you get £5 ($10) for those jobs...

[UzLand]

:lool:

you sound like you looking for a sales agent.

I wasn't going to talk about this until I saw a thread with such a name and I thought I would let people know. Besides I talked more about services which you could use for yourself rather than selling. May be one day you would thank me for giving you an opportunity to have an access to a lawyer for just 26 dollars a month. Because when you need them, it will be too late and you will still pay at least 1,000 dollars which would buy you 3 years of membership.

Stable salary is good, but it is never enough:) Growth doesn't depend on you and it is not big. It is better to go out and sell for 5-10 years and retire when you are young.

Nope. US campuses depending on a job pay anywhere from $7/hour and more. They have to pay you min. wage.

You don't even have to make a presentation yourself. There are people who will do that job for you, so your personality doesn't play a big role...

Pre-Paid Legal has come under fire by both former members and legal authorities, charging fraud, deception, and accounting irregularities.
In 2005, a Mississippi jury found the company and CEO Harland Stonecipher guilty of fraud and deceptive advertising. A second jury added punitive damages to the verdict. [1]
In 2001, the Wyoming Attorney General classified Pre-Paid Legal as a "multi-level marketing" organization and won refunds for multiple customers who were defrauded. [2]
Allegations of "pyramid scheme" and customer fraud lead to 50% of new members dropping out within first year of signing on. [3]
Critism's have been void by Pre-Paid Legal, Inc. victories in court; US Chamber of Commerce claims Pre-paid Legal, Inc. had been unfairly sued and case was dismissed in court.[4]

yeah medical field is the good one. Nursing degree is also one of the well paid jobs in US with benefits, u can get degree within 3-4 years. it is a very good option, if u are sure u can stay here. If u have to go back to Uzb after getting degree, ur nursing degree will not work in UZb as it does here. Oh, I have made tons of researches about it while I was thinking switching my major.

Hey rosefire,
I am just curious but why didn't you switch your major to Nursing after all the research?

[Queen]

Nursing is considered one of the underpaid jobs as the risk vs. pay is really off and hence there is a shortage of nurses in US. They have horrible hours and have to work under different conditions (such as nurses that work with AIDS patients have risk of getting infected) and their pay although 40's and up is not considered a high pay for the job. :D

Another underpaid job is teaching. Although they have good benefits teaching is not an easy profession and is underpaid.

For the schooling they go through, which is 2 years (to become RN) and get 50K for start is not considered underpaid. Risks of getting AIDS is also not high unless that patient sticks the needle to the nurse because of psychological problems in his mind. The whole medical field puts at risk its staff.

[Unique]

Hey rosefire,

Is it that easy changing major degree from one to another?? :D
I think she is majoring in business. But it'd be too stressful to jump from business program to medical program in the middle of your study/career.

[Queen]

agreed, I can not say that Nursing is a high paying job. and not an easy job, however, if you continue your education in that field then maybe you can get little higher salary than RNs. but not as doctors, but it takes too long to become one. it all depends.

yeah continuing education in nursing really raises the salary. B.S in nUrsing doesn't change the salary almost at all, $1,000 difference comparing to A.S. But a nurse with Masters degree, let's say Nurse Anesthesiologist gets 120K per year which equals to doctor's start salary.

although questions is not adressed to me, I thought it may help you. The nursing test is called NCLEX. In NY, majority of nurses in hospitals are foreign educated nurses who took NCLEX, did no schooling and work just like US educated nurse. Exam is not that difficult,. one year of good preparation is enough. check out www.allnurses.com to get more info about the whole process. It's not the exam which is hard, it's the paper work which takes long time.

[UzLand]

Critism's have been void by Pre-Paid Legal, Inc. victories in court; US Chamber of Commerce claims Pre-paid Legal, Inc. had been unfairly sued and case was dismissed in court.

this says it all, right?:)

Uzland, the company and the function of the business reminds me Herbolive recruitment in Uzb.

Herbal Life said they would cure you, make you lose weight and other blah-blah-blah. There were tons of other similar organizations. But PPD helps with real legal isues, they work with real law firms...same attitude was when car insurance and health insurance were first introduced, but look what happened...people who don't make enough to pay for car repair or hospital charges can pay an insurance and use those services for free or for a much lesser amount. The rates for car repair, health care and legal services are going up disproportionately to wages. Statistics shows that people have at least 5 times more legal problems than the need for a doctor.

And when we say legal problems, it doesn't necessarily mean homicide or the like - disputing bill issues, traffic tickets and charges, phone consultation - you would still pay a lot of money for only one service whereas a membership gives you access to more services throughout a year. When police learn you are PPD member, their attitude changes to positive because they know there is a lawyer behind you.

Just trying to figure out what are the better options out there we can at least give a try. still majoring in business and gonna continue this. do not have any intention to change now, becuse of chance to loose many credits. but there is what is called double majoring so u can still have double majors. this is still just an option, Hudo bir yo'lga boshlar o'qib turorelichi:D endi mavzuga qaytsek ham 'bo'lar, o'zim haqimda rosa ko'p gapirvordim shekilli.

yeah that's a smart decision. many universities are offering this one year program now, just make sure you take pre-requistes before applying. Because the uni I know here in NY, has this one year program but it has a list of science classes they need in order to accept into the program.

[UzLand]

Lawyers are the other guys, who make good money in the US.

Exactly. Do you know why? Because they think they control the market and rates in that market by charging 200-400 dollars an hour. But guess what. Pre-Paid Legal Services is the only company in the United States and Canada that allows you to use lawyers' services for only 26 dollars a month. You don't have to pay 200-400 dollars an hour for the same services as long as you are PPD member. Europe has had legal insurance since 19th century, I wonder what took the US so long to come up with that.

[Sledopit]

Talking about public sector, it can be said that Ministries provide low pay ($30 up to $150) relatively to market level. The major Uzbek banks offer up to $250 (except Uzbek-Turkish, Credit Standard, maybe Saderat and KDB). Some state owned enterprises can offer higher salary ($80 up to $1200), while working according to the law. Compensation that starts from $200 and rises up to $1200 are offered in companies of heavy industry, fuel and energy complex, mineral resource industry, building material industry and engineering industry. High salary is paid mostly to administration, where the number of job places is limited and restricted to the most. Examples of such companies are АГМК, НГМК, Узнефтегаз, угольный карьер Ангрен and some other giants. However, World Bank Group, ADB, PWC, Deloitte, some international and intergovernmental UNDP projects are well paid employers as well.

My personal view that can be wrong. Excuse for that:uups: .

[moroti]

Best paying jobs in Uzb still are with the international organizations.

In non commercial sector (UN, WB etc) it starts with $600 and goes up to around $2 000, if you qualify as a local. If you qualify as an international, then it starts at around 50Ks and upwards to 100Ks.

In commercial sector, mostly oil and gas, for a middle manager it starts at around 1K and might go up to 5K, very rarely goes higher than that.

All these are white collar positions though.
