1.Some occupations require more qualifications and therefore by default greater intelligence. For example Tax Accountant versus Office Cleaner.
2.Some jobs are very specialised requiring a skill that very few possess, and are in an area well supported that can financially afford to pay greater money. For example NFL quarterback.

Hi there,

Let’s say I work at a supermarket or fast food place. I don't really need much experience or a huge education to do that.

On the other hand I might have studied for five years or so to become a lawyer or doctor. I would be paid much more for I'm giving you a specific service and have great knowledge in it.

If I was to go and study some more to become a Neurologist I would be paid more than my other doctor friends because I specialize in that field and know much more than them about it.

So I would say one reason would have to your qualification and another would have to responsibility. If you are an employee at Company X you'd be paid accordingly but if you are the MD for a certain department, in that company, you'd be paid much more for you are to oversee all the employees beneath you and take responsibility for your departments performance.

A combination of the difficulty of the job and the demand. One cannot be a surgeon without extensive training and education and few people are able to do it so it pays well.
