Insurance Broker
Median salary: $114,000Top pay: $273,000
Big commissions can boost earnings for driven insurance agents. Those who specialize in working with companies in high-liability industries -- such as oil, construction and pharmaceuticals -- can do especially well, since commissions can amount to 10% to 15% of the total contract. Agents with significant tenure tend to become the "go-to" people in their area of specialty, which allows them to capture bigger deals and bring home even bigger commissions.
