Which Are The Most Well Paid Jobs?

I think that being a manager or a doctor or even a solicitor can provide you good money, without the need of a lot of money to begin your career. It would be nice if anyone can find a list of the average wages in UK or USA or EU, so that WE (the money lovers :biggrin:

) can really decide which study are we going to attend!

PS. Sorry if that has been reposted from other user

Wouldn't studying longer mean you have to pay more even if its just in terms of tuition fees.

These are the following jobs that i can think off and pay well
Pilot
Accounting
Doctor (very stressful for the first 10 yrs, that is if you do choose to train/study through the first 10 years or else its hard all time)
Lawyer
Civil Engineering
Financial Sector
Estate
Management mostly at big or fairly meduim organizations

Lots more but cant think of them

The 1 thing that can bring the most money is your own business, i made survey 2 years ago with a span of 1200 people and got 80% who think its real estate as i insured all variety of people were included

Investment Banking has the highest starting salary. Some companies pay over 65k for graduates. This can rise up to a 200k in 5 or so years if youre very good.

Finance is a well paid area although it depends on what area you specialize in, other then that dentist is a well paid job.

I think it should be noted that the above is a particularly vacuous statement.

Given that you're going to be spending at least 8 hours per day for around 240 days a year doing this job (more time if you really want to succeed at it), is the salary really the only important factor? If you were offered a job that paid incredibly well but never gave you any free time, would you take it? What about one that you found horribly dull or immoral?

You people are obsessed with money, its quality of life and enjoyment that are the most important things, as more money definitely doesn't mean a better quality of life.

It does up to a point. I don't see the benefit of 60k over 50k, though.

For a normal salaried job, investment banker, followed by actuary, accountant and corporate lawyer.

If you meant at all though, then entrepreneur, professional sportsman, singer and movie star would probably be top.

Yes, obviously you have to earn enough to get by. But if you're thinking of a career rather than a job (ie, you're not going to be behind the counter at McDonald's until you retire) then you'll almost certainly be comfortable money-wise (unless you have seven kids to support or someone steals your house).

Maybe I'm strange, but it has never occurred to me to choose a career on the basis of how much money I'll earn doing it. The thought has never even crossed my mind.

Not at all, I'd rather be earning 30k in a job I love than 100k in a job I hate.

It is of some importantance. To some more than others. Some will be because thats all they want, in minority probably though. I see it as important, as starting environmental consultants dont tend to start on more than 15k a year tops, before tax. Enough to get by. Buy you might be doing to butlins for your hols.
