According to the BLS, tax examiners and revenue agents earned nearly 27 percent less than accountants, at an average of $56,050 per year, as of 2012. Like the CPA designation, earning the enrolled agent status can improve salaries for these tax professionals.
For example, State Farm agents, who usually work independently, earned average annual incomes of $78,700, according to Glassdoor -- with average bonuses and commissions of $29,000 and $11,750 per year. Most independent insurance agents have at least high school diplomas. They also must pass a state exam through the American Institute for Chartered Property and Casualty Underwriters to work as insurance agents, according to the BLS. Agents may study up to two months or more for these tests.
