Unlikely $100,000 Jobs

Not every well paying job in publishing is in editorial. Traditional pressmen and printing plant operators still command big bucks in some markets. In New York and other big cities they make over $30 an hour, which means six figures is possible with overtime. And it's well earned--the skills needed for the job require a four-year apprenticeship. One caveat: Bureau of Labor statistics show that the industry employs only 191,000 printing machine operators these days, down from over 300,000 five years ago.
