There is a storied group of people out there known to be laughing all the way to financial institutions. And while it may come as no surprise that these high-income types enjoy their trips to the bank, you might be interested to learn that when these folks see each other on the street, dragging their loot, the greeting is often the same:\n\n\n“Doctor.”\n“Doctor.”\n\n\nHow did we get this inside information? The government told us. In an effort to provide Monster readers with the 10 jobs the Department of Labor says are likely to pay you enough to bankroll a diamond mine, we found out seven of the 10 jobs were in the medical field. Realizing our list was helpful only to people with an inclination for diagnosing diseases, we shamelessly backpedaled and started over.\n\n\nWe quickly found that the people just outside the top 10 were employed in much more varied fields, offering more options to those looking to use a top-10 list to find work in a fortune-building profession.\n\n\nAccording to the 2001 Occupational Employment Statistics Survey conducted by the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the top 11 to 20 highest-paying professions in the US are:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.

Based on CNNMoney.com, they listed the following companies as the best companies to work for.\n\n1) Genentech\n2) Wegmans\n3) Valero Energy\n4) Griffin Hospital\n5) W.L. Gore\n6) Container Store\n7) Vision Service Plan\n8) J.M. Smucker\n9) REI\n10) S.C. Johnson & Son\n\nI'd start with those companies or narrow it down to companies on the top 100 list in places where I wouldn't mind living. All major companies look for business degrees leaving the door open to an extremely broad scope of opportunities. Find out what interests you most (Industrial, Finance, Software, etc.) and go from there. I have attached a link to the article I got those companies from. The Fortune 100 company I work for didn't make that list. :-(

Information technology is a new addition. I find it best. Between marketing and finance you get payed higher in finance but there are far more jobs in marketing.

Depends on what you mean by "high paying". If it's just about TONS of money then anything in the executive level is going to work for you. However, you will need at least a MBA in a business related field. Also, you will need to invest years into managerial jobs that will lead you up the ladder.\nOR - you can get a geat idea for some computer related start-up and get some venture capital and become successful... however, lots of startups can (and do) fail.\nIf your looking for a quick buck - sell drugs - but then go to jail or get killed.\n\nIt's really finding out what YOU like to do and then make it your life's ambition to make it into a high paying job. Look at Bill Gates - he took a "hobby" and made it a life long goal. Not only that but he is wealthy more than I am sure he even dreamed he could be.

Try IT or science, or healthcare. There is a lack of people in these fields, and they are some of the fastest growing most-highly-paying fields. \n\nYou can also talk to a career conselour at the university to see what different majors will lead to different jobs and choose from there.

let's see...\n\nElectrical engineering... obviously the best (I'm one hehe)... the highest average salary of any type of engineer. They analyze circuits and the signals the circuits process. They can branch out into things like power supplying or microcomputers. There's a broad scope of things you can get into... if you like electronics you can use your knowledge to do research and development of fiber optics and telecommunications... if you like power generation you can deal with distribution.\n\nComputer engineers are just more specialized electrical engineers, with a little more background in computer science and how operating systems and processors work.\n\nNuclear engineers specialize in nuclear power and radioactive energy. One of the main cases of study for them is the effects of nuclear radiation on the environment.\n\nAerospace engineers are specialized in design of flying machines like airplanes and what not. They're big on physics and the aerodynamics of flight, as well as jet propulsion and fuel... they also dabble a little in electronics.\n\nBiomedical engineers are half electrical engineer / half biology major. They deal with equipment and contraptions that are effective for the medical industry. It's important that they have a background in medicine and electricity so they can put these together.\n\nMechanical engineers deal with the study of machines, motors, servos... just the manufacturing and usage of all kinds of moving parts in places from factories to cars.\n\nCivil engineers are specialized in the design of buildings and structures. The difference between an architect and a civil engineer is an architect can tell you what he wants to do but a civil engineer tells you what you CAN do. They do a lot of analysis on the stability of structures like bridges and roads and find a lot of work in government projects.\n\nIndustrial engineers are not technically "engineers," but are a cross between management majors and engineers, in  that they are geared towards the business side of manufacturing goods through industry. They have to have knowledge of the processes of manufacturing products as well as the business in the world market.
