Making an app for that. There’s good Money in that. Workopolis recently published a list of “Six surprisingly high paying jobs,” and Mobile applications developer was named number one.

“In good news for those of us not the big bosses of firms or in the financial sector, these well-paying jobs aren’t just for bankers, insurance folks and executives,” wrote Workopolis’ Peter Harris.

“The rise in popularity of tablets, smartphones and other mobile devices, means more and more companies are developing apps for multiple mobile operating systems. The average starting salaries for mobile app developers range from $72,500 to $102,750.”
