A Web site developer knows that a company's site needs to fit its image and also give people a reason to keep coming back for fun stuff (as well as marketing hype). This job calls for knowledge of Internet programming languages as well as creativity. Over $19 billion a year is now spent on business Web site development.

You can often choose whether to work on staff or as a consultant. Since Internet programming technology continually makes it possible for sites to do more, developers can expect ongoing work.

Training:
A degree doesn't matter as much as examples of creative work, training in Web programming languages and techniques, and at least a year's experience working on a site.

Average Salaries:

• Entry Level: $30,300
  
• Midlevel: $49,600
  
• Top: $74,000
