Degree don't pay anything, they cost. So no degree "pays the most".

Also, no degree "will lead you to earning a high salary." Employers look at more than just your degree, and no degree automatically leads to employment anyway.

If you think a particular degree is going to be a "golden ticket" to a high salary, I suspect you're heading for disappointment.

The degree funded by daddy before you take a position in his law / finance firm. It isn't degrees that earn high money. It is the individuals. What degree is pretty irrelevant if you have the skills and knowledge to do a high paying job. In general the skills required are:
- The ability to sacrifice everything for the job
- The ability to problem solve highly technical issues and / or bring the right people together and get them to work cohesively to solve challenging problems
- Work in complex teams liaising with a variety of people of different backgrounds and personalities

Last time I looked, pretty much no university course provides training for these skills.
