Highest-Paying Jobs in America - What jobs pay the most.
We see many topics on this subject. But the dynamic nature of the salary business never sits still. So we looked through several research and statistical reference documents and found these stats. Note we ignored the Doctor category since such a small percentage of people stay in school for half their lives - needless to say being a doctor can pay very well if you choose the right specialty and do well. You can expect 150K and up.. so let's move on to what the other 98% of us will spend our career time while on this earth doing.

So while other people promote being a doctor as the field that makes the most money.. we say that follow tradition... any job that generates money for the companies bottom line a.k.a SALES or cuts / saves or improves the companies bottom line.. a.k.as Information technology or Finance .. these are the career paths readily available to the average Joe and by the time they get out of medical school you'd have a sizable nest egg already. Besides the medical field is rife with politics, huge ego's and just an over glorification according to the scenarios shown on all the sitcoms .. right!?!
Anyway, good luck in finding that pot of gold. Just be prepared to sacrifice fun time and work extremely hard to make it into the huge money once in the management ranks.. or even better into the executive ranks as as a vice president or chief executive ( maybe staying in school to get a PH.d in Phys Ed isn't such a bad idea after all... eh?).
