Intro
(AP Photo/Francesco Proietti / June 4, 2008)If you know that Hollywood's top stars can earn $20 million dollars per film and that the average time to shoot a movie is six months, you won't be surprised to see that their paychecks make the average person's income look minuscule in comparison. In fact, if these celebrities worked standard 8-hour workdays, it would take them less than seven days to earn $1 million.
In all likelihood, you and I -- the little people -- aren't making that kind of money. In fact, it will take some people their entire careers to cross the million-dollar mark even once.
Here are 30 jobs with earnings as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and how long it would take to earn $1 million in terms of hours, eight-hour workdays and years.
