Here's some exciting news—all your efforts to help clients avoid bumpy moves will pay off in a pretty decent salary. Naturally, what you earn depends on where you live, what type of company you work for and how skillful you are at your job. However, if you're making around $50,000 a year, not including bonuses, you'll be able to occasionally go visit some of the places to which you relocate people (source).

For those who don't have a four-year degree, the starting pay may only be in the low $30,000 range, but if you're working for a large corporation, you'll still get health insurance as well as other benefits (like paid leave). 

Those with a four-year degree (or a lot of real estate experience) will start their corporate relocation careers making in the low to mid $40,000 range. And, if you're really good at helping clients avoid the pitfalls of moving, many businesses offer bonuses on top of salary and benefits. A little extra motivation never hurts, especially when it's the kind with a decimal point.

Stick around in the corporate relocation field and move into management and you'll see big numbers on your paycheck. Managers in this career with just a few years of experience earn between $99,000 to $135,000 a year (source). Not bad for a professional juggler of sorts, right?
