You can be an MK or head a department in a hospital and earn a very high salary. You can be an entrepreneur and the sky is the limit. Most regular salaried jobs don't make that much, and most families manage by having two incomes. Sorry!

Business analysts, engineers of all types, project managers in big firms, product managers in engineering, some accountants and many more.
Depends on what you’re interested in and if you want to go to school.
My dh and I are in tech.

Not sure why you think I am not aware of this. Both my husband and I work. We just dont bring in enough. So I would really like to try and study something that will bring in a much bigger salary to improve our monthly and long term finances.
If we were to bring in, together, 30 or 40k, that would be wonderful. Right now we b'koshi bring in 18 and some months its more like 16. And its very hard to manage.

I hear you. If you have the inclination to start a new career, might as well choose one that pays well. I hope you find your niche!

Basically the answer is hi tech - which if you are above a certain age is not kdai because older people with years and years of experience have a hard time, kal vachomer a junior who have a hard time even in the beginning.
I would not go this route if you are over 35
The other route is opening a business. It comes with a ton of risk, but if you do well the sky is the limit.
In general would say lean into your talents and interests and then invest in schooling that will make you fantastic.
Are you a deep, worked thru person who is compassionate and loves helping people?
Go to school to become a therapist, take as many trainings as possible, get real experience and 10 years down you can open a private practice making 350 nis an hour. (5 hours a day, 5 days a week is 35k)
Are you super artistic and great designing spaces - become an interior designer and get a job that builds your experience and then advertise and get private clients.
Are you amazing with kids? Look into becoming a floortime therapist or an OT or ST, and again, private practice is the goal - the salaries for speech are not amazing, but the private speech therapist I use charges 350 nis an hour and has a waiting list.
Are you a real people person, with a good business head and have the wherewithal to pursue business- mortgage brokers and real estate agents are crowded fields, but the good ones who build themselves up make nice money.
I know a tour guide who is booked full even thru this war and he makes 700$ a day (before tax)
I also think that to make it here you need one spouse to have the salaried, lower paying job, and the other spouse has the buisness/freelance that makes more but is less stable

Have you tried Kivun?
They are free career counseling, they do an aptitude test, and are good at helping you figure out what is a realistic career path

I live in America, but I’m shocked that that’s considered an unattainable salary in Israel. 25,000 shekel is about 6,000 dollars/month. That’s a very very low salary in America

I highly recommend Kivun. They really helped me get an understanding of what to look into. (Unfortunately wasn't any options to study in my areas in English and my Hebrew isn't strong enough)

That's why living in Israel isn't for the faint of hearts, it's a privilege but comes with it's hardships.

6k a month is considered very very low?
I work my soul out and have a high level position and make only that amount

Same! My take-home is a bit over $5k/month and I’m a professional. My gross salary is just over 110k (a huge chunk goes to taxes etc…I’m in Canada). When people talk about salaries in Israel being lower, in my mind I’m thinking $2500-3000/mth…

I just want to say that my dh and I don’t find this age bias everyone speaks about. We haven’t encountered it and have had more than a few people that retrained and joined in their 30s and 40s.

Americans can’t compare salaries there to here. It’s a different financial system that isn’t comparable. I took a 50% pay cut by moving but we can afford to live nicer here than in the States in my OOT community minus the smaller living spaces in Israel. For comparison, 150-200k usd here is a very good salary and very easy to live off of. In the USA, people making 200-300k usd are saying they’re struggling.

Your prices are lower too.
But yes.
I am in Europe and have a very cushy job. Busy, difficult, but pay and benefits are amazing. I want to make aliya but how will I ever earn as much in Israel?
