What jobs are paying the best, and what degree do i need?

Answer 1

You'll find a high correlation of years of education associated with earnings. The best paying positions can be found in business, medicine, and law. Notice that doctors and attorneys need more education than those in business... typically an MBA will suffice. However, if you are talented in the area of the arts, you can command quite a bit without even a high school education... look at Demi Moore.
