Recently, a well-known Internet celebrity easily earned 16.5 million yuan in just two months with only advertising revenue and promotion expenses, and has also become the center of heated discussions on the Internet.
Although the incident has attracted many people to try to emulate, it also seems to reflect a reality that society has come to accept: for many people, earning hundreds of thousands of dollars a month seems to be as easy as playing a game.
Behind this glossy façade, however, the current state of income for most people in China is a different story.
In China, reaching a monthly income of 10,000 yuan can be said to be a very trivial thing. According to statistics, people with a monthly salary of this level occupy more than 98% of the top of the country's population.
To put it simply, if your monthly income is more than 10,000, then you have surpassed 137.2 billion people, standing at the top of the social pyramid.
What is hidden behind this figure is that there are more than 1.3 billion people with a monthly salary of less than 10,000 yuan, and even 600 million people with a monthly income of less than 1,000 yuan.
Despite this, if you boldly disclose your monthly salary of 10,000 yuan on social platforms, there will still be people who question your living status, and this phenomenon can't help but make people think deeply.
Further, data from 2022 shows that the average annual salary of employees in urban non-private units across the country is only more than 100,000 yuan, and when converted, the average monthly salary is about 8,000 yuan.
The average annual salary of employees in the private sector is more than 60,000 yuan, and the average monthly salary is about 5,000 yuan. It can be seen that it is not easy to reach a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, which is a big challenge for the vast majority of people.
Looking at the salary levels of major cities in China, we will find that people with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan are mainly concentrated in several large cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Hangzhou and Wuhan. Not only are these places economically developed and have many opportunities, but they are also the political and economic centers of the country and open coastal cities. Therefore, for those who aspire to a higher income, it may be a good option to try moving to these big cities.
So, what jobs can make a person's monthly salary easily exceed 10,000 yuan? In fact, for the average person, there are quite a lot of job opportunities that can meet or exceed this income level.
Counting it down, including real estate sales, medical representatives, intermediaries, foreign trade business, Internet product account managers, local ** staff and other sales positions; Architecture design, chip design, UI design, industrial design and other design positions; as well as dance teachers, Chinese painting teachers, calligraphy teachers, musical instrument teachers, training class teachers and other educational positions; anchors, cross-border e-commerce, and online sales in the field of e-commerce; Software development engineer, game development engineer and other programmer positions; There are also professional positions such as lawyers and doctors. These positions not only provide the opportunity to earn more than 10,000 yuan per month, but some can even provide a more lucrative income.
Obviously, a person's salary level is closely related not only to their personal abilities, but also to their environment and industry.
For young people from small towns, a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan may be the end of their dreams; But for white-collar workers in big cities, this may be just the starting point.
So, when we're looking to push the boundaries of what you can do, switching environments or experimenting with different industries might be a direction worth considering.
The most valuable lesson in life is to try different lifestyles and career paths, and when faced with unsatisfactory job income, you may be able to find your own stage and mission in a new environment.
