· One high paying job that never makes a list due to the extremely competitive and relatively secretive nature of Wall Street is Sales & Trading / Investment Banking. A starting salary out of college/university for is $75,000 for the top investment banks with an annual bonus of $40,000-60,000. By the time of your first promotion (around 3 years), you can earn >$250,000. Top industry players make $1,000,000 per year.

· CEO, COO, VP's of companies. The average CEO's salary is 600k and an average COO makes about 300k and a vp makes over 200k.

· According to the U.S. Bureau of Labour Statistics, as cited by Forbes magazine, the top five highest paying jobs are: 1.) Physicians and Surgeons 2.) Dentists 3.) Chief Executives 4.) Airline Pilots 5.) Podiatrists. Note that these are salaried jobs. Bonuses for some industries (e.g. for Wall Street traders) and profits in others (e.g. entrepreneurs who start their own businesses) can be much higher. And don't forget movies, music and sport.

· I found that an Actuary has a pretty high paying job for a starting salary less then 1 yr exp would be approx 40+. 20 yrs exp approx 250-350K.

· The President makes $400,000 dollars a year. HOWEVER, you must also consider the following: They never pay a mortgage or rent, NEVER buy gasoline, never buy food, never pay for a car, car insurance, entertainment, and a whole host of "perks". Add all the free perks and you're talking a couple million bucks!

· DEFINITELY ACTUARIES. AN INDIVIDUAL WHO BELONGS TO THE WORLD'S HIGHEST PAID PROFESSION CAN EARN BETWEEN $250000 TO $500000 BASE SALARY WITHIN TEN YEARS OF STARTING PROVIDED THEY PASS ALL 8 EXAMS SWIFTLY TO BECOME AN FSA. IN ADDITION THERE ARE STOCK OPTIONS AND BONUSES THAT COULD REACH 100 - 300% OF BASE SALARY.

· Entrepreneurs are (deservedly) the highest earners in the US. People like Bill Gates or Michael Dell, whose companies have become household names, top the Forbes list repeatedly.

· While it is true that actuaries are well paid, there are many other professions with equally impressive salaries. Many medical professionals earn large salaries (though they also put in a decade or more of training after high school). For instance, experienced anaesthesiologists, cardiologists, and surgeons may make $500K/yr or more in larger cities. However, the biggest salaries are usually the chief executive officers (CEOs) or chief operating officers (COOs) of large businesses. They routinely achieve salaries that range into the multimillions annually, not including incentives most people only dream of. Entrepreneurs who set out on their own can achieve large salaries as well, though most of them probably fall under the category of CEO for their own company. One more interesting fact: While the president and members of congress do make impressive salaries ($200K-$400K/yr), more than half of them took a pay CUT to take a political office. This is due to the fact that most of them held high positions within industry before they took office. Politicians are generally in it for the power, not the money.

· I would have to respectively disagree. I say an anaesthesiologist.

· I think professional sports players make much more money than the other professions listed here. Actors can make over $20 million per film. That's maybe a couple of months of work for that much money. It's quite impressive.

· Quite frankly I do

· One thing to keep in mind about actuaries is that when you see the median salary for an actuary, this salary given is not accurate since you are not really an actuary until you obtain your associateship or fellowship in the professional society you are studying for. If you are an actuarial analyst you are an actuarial student in training to become a certified actuary. The median salary of certified actuaries (Associates or Fellows in the Society of Actuaries, etc.) would easily be among the top ten lists above. [It would be similar to including the salaries of medical residents, 34-55K per year, into the salary of physicians. Were they to do this, the median salary for physicians would be much lower.] In addition, actuaries often get promoted to executive positions for the companies they work for which further elevates their salaries.

· Corporate attorneys at the nation's top law firms have starting salaries of $180,000 per year. This would be a 25-year-old, directly out of law school. By their 7th year, they are making $320,000. If they are elected to a partnership at the end of their 7th or 8th year, they will make a respectable amount of money; a partner a top firm is well worth $2,000,000 a year.

· Actuary: Once a fellowship has been obtained and after 10 years of experience, someone in this field can earn $150,000+, and after 20 years one can earn $250,000+. It also depends on what type of actuary you are. Some consultants earn more than traditional actuaries. See the Related Links below to see actual salaries for actuary positions currently available.

I am a Massage Therapist and I make $100,000/yr. School is only 6 months to a year (typically) and only $5000-$15,000. Average salary nationwide is about $40,000 but top resorts in places like Las Vegas can pay up to $100K or more. Of course the highest paying jobs are the hardest to get and pay is based on commission, tips and amount of clientele. I know I make more than most of my doctors, and I have no headaches, stress, overhead and I get to make people feel good.

Having been in corporate B2B technology sales and sales support for over 20 years, I have to say that making anything less than $120K to be a bad year. Positions usually offer a base of $60-100K plus bonuses and commissions. In software most sales positions have a target earnings north of $200K with good reps making well over $300K. Non-commissioned pre-sales support people and implementation consultants make from $85K-150K as a salary. Having a Bachelor's is a must, an MBA or Masters in IT is a plus.

In general, successful big ticket item sales people consistently make well into the six figures, regardless of industry.

Actually the highest paying jobs are the ones with the highest personal satisfaction to YOU. Also, do not forget to factor in the cost of time to get to work, prepare for it and so on. Make sure it is important to you. After that, look to your talents and what you are good at--you will be most satisfied personally and monetarily with that.

Timeshare salesperson. In my first year with no experience, I made just over 100k. more than half of the 60 salespeople at the resort I'm at make over 80k and many make over 100k per year. several make 150k + this is in a resort town where we shut down for two months and go on our own vacations. most days, we are off work by mid afternoon. Several of these reps have little or no sales experience and half of our top reps are female. Sounds too good to be true which is why i waited 7 years of hearing these types of stories before checking into it myself.

I have to say that neurosurgeons make the most. They average around 400K a year and can, with many years experience make up to 800K a year. Unfortunately this does not come with out a cost. Neurosurgeons need to go to school for a min. of 14 years. When considering surgeons, neurosurgeons make the most on average.

The two highest paying "Jobs" in terms of, the person provides a service and is compensated for it, are CEO's and Portfolio Managers (like those at hedge funds) In the most recent year Terry Semel made 50 million dollars, the year before he made 250 million and he was the highest paid CEO. Ofcourse this includes Salary, Bonus, and Stock based compensation.

Hedge Fund Managers can make millions, and many times at the biggest funds more than CEO's, ofcourse becoming a big time hedge fund manager is no easy task, there are very few of them. What most actors and pro players make is peanuts compared to what these guys make!!!
