Web application developer is the U.S.'s best entry-level job, according to a new WalletHub study, which compared 109 types of entry-level jobs based on 11 key metrics ranging from starting salary to industry growth.
However, Web application developer ranked only 26th in starting salary, with a median salary of $55,235, and 13th in income growth potential, notes WalletHub analyst John Kiernan.
The overall median salary for a new Web developer was $63,160. In comparison, information security analyst was the second-best entry-level position, and its median starting salary was $54,420 and its median salary overall was $88,590. Web designer tied for third best entry-level job, while software engineer was fifth, network engineer was eighth, programmer was 10th, database administrator was 13th, and systems administrator was 19th.
Although information technology jobs did not dominate the list of fastest projected job growth by 2022, information security analyst ranked second with a 36.5 percent projected growth rank, and computer numeric control machine programmer ranked fourth at 27.6 percent.
