Software Developer

Software developers use their creative juices to develop innovative hardware or software applications. These professionals typically won’t make millions working for the corporate biggies; rather big money comes from marketing their ideas and designs to established tech firms, or by becoming an entrepreneur and starting their own tech firm.

As per the PayScale website, software developers typically take home an average annual income of approximately 1.41 lakh to 6.66 lakh, but can earn millions when they opt to sell their ideas or designs to biggies in the field. As per the online reports of London's Mail, the software designers who developed Instagram pocketed around $400 million from an Internet startup.

Professionals working in this field typically should be capable of operating with little immediate supervision, must be able to stay focused and should never give in to distractions.
