Personal finance website WalletHub recently released its rankings of the best entry-level jobs out there.
WalletHub assigned points to each occupation, based on three metrics: immediate opportunity, growth potential, and job hazards.
More specifically, the category of immediate opportunity included median starting salary, number of job openings, and unemployment rate.
Growth potential included median annual salary, median tenure with employer, schedule flexibility, on-the-job training, income growth potential, projected job growth by 2024, and the likelihood of the occupation being replaced by computers.
And job hazards included fatal occupational injuries per 100,000 employees in the past three years and how typical it is for someone with each job to work more than 40 hours a week.
All of the data was collected from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Oxford Martin School at the University of Oxford, Indeed.com, and Salary.com.
Here are the top nine occupations on the list:
