Almost everyone aspires to become a millionaire someday, but there are some jobs where it would be impossible to earn that much money, even after decades of working. Most multimillionaires made their money through businesses and investments, but those aren’t the only career paths where it’s possible. <\/span><\/p>\n
There are actually a few traditional jobs where you can actually earn enough to retire a millionaire. We broke down 30 such jobs in the list below.<\/span><\/p>\nPlastic surgeons are one of the highest-paid professionals in the medial industry. Credit: Pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
30. Plastic Surgeon<\/span><\/h2>\n
In recent years, plastic surgery procedures have become more affordable to people in the middle class. Some women almost expect to get some sort of plastic surgery in their lifetime, especially in cities like Los Angeles. Because of the fact that there is less of a stigma, more people than ever are going to the doctor for a nip, tuck, or facelift. <\/span><\/p>\nPlastic surgeons help women feel more confident in their bodies.

Reconstructing people’s faces and bodies is a complicated job and it’s a huge responsibility to improve someone’s physical appearance. The median salary of a plastic surgeon is $390,000 per year, while some make upwards of $570,000 per year. <\/span><\/p>\n

29. Writer<\/span><\/h2>\n
When you become a writer, you don’t know if you’ll end up a millionaire or a starving artist. The term “writer” is also very broad and encompasses a huge field of specialties. Freelance writers don’t have a ceiling to how much they can make, especially if they go after jobs in high-paying industries. There are plenty of staff writer positions out there that will pay writers in the ballpark of $50,000. Skilled freelancers know how to maximize their profits and make closer to $100,000. <\/span><\/p>\nWriters can work from anywhere in the world. Credit: Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Then, of course, there are the multimillionaire writers. There are millionaire first-time authors like J.K. Rowling and Hugh Howey. However, the majority of successful writers put all of their time into pumping out news books every month and are brilliant at marketing themselves. One great example of this is Stephen King. He never sits on his laurels, continues to pump out a new book every month, and is currently worth $400 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

28. Specialized Doctors<\/span><\/h2>\n
So many people go to medical school because they believe it’s almost guaranteed success. Of course, becoming a doctor requires a lot of incredibly difficult math and science classes as well as hands-on experience. Many people find that they cannot handle the lifestyle of a doctor, which is why so few actually succeed.<\/span><\/p>\nSome doctors need specialized knowledge in order to diagnose their patients.

While all doctors do very well for themselves, there are certain specialties in the medical field that make significantly more money than others. Cardiologists can earn $590,000 per year, <\/span>orthopedic <\/span>surgeons make $533,000, dermatologists earn $425,000, and the list goes on. <\/span><\/p>\n

27. YouTuber<\/span><\/h2>\n
Celebrity YouTubers have become some of the most admired and sought-after career paths for young people. Instead of dreaming of becoming a movie or rock star, kids want to have their own YouTube channel. Just like writers, there is a huge gap in how much these creators make. They now have a policy that you need to meet a threshold of how many subscribers and views you need before your channel can start to make income. <\/span><\/p>\nSome YouTubers start out with a simple backdrop and a tripod.
