Nonprofit companies... can one make a living?



I would like to work for a non profit org. to help the environment. Any suggestions? Also can one make a living at it?

Yes, Many non-profit organizations have jobs where the employee is well paid, but as a general rule, many of these companies like to keep administrative cost (aka salaries and benifits) low. Still, I was under the impression that although you may not make as much as you might in a non-profit, many times you make more money than you need to make a living.

Here is how the average salaries for a number of jobs compare for non-profit versus corporate positions (provide at the source below):

Attorney/Lawyer
Non-Profit: $64,105 Corporate: $113,923

Employment, Recruitment, or Placement Specialist/Recruiter
Non-Profit: $37,815 Corporate: $63,570

Senior Accountant
Non-Profit: $50,575 Corporate: $61,731

Contracts Administrator
Non-Profit: $53,986 Corporate: $55,417

Human Resources (HR) Specialist
Non-Profit: $39,935 Corporate: $49,318

Project Manager, IT
Non-Profit: $72,282 Corporate: $87,164
