Are you picking a career, or just curious?
If you want a career, don't go for money. Figure out what you love to do, and pick a career based on that. Money will take care of itself if you love what you do.
Now, pure economics, in order: Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers.
Sincerely, An Engineer (Industrial).

Depending on location, all three professions can easily be in $100k - $300k range, with doctors and lawyers slightly higher on average than engineers.
The operative word here is "earn". While doctors and lawyers both make a considerable amount of money, most of the actual work is done by administrative assistants, interns, and nurses. Some doctors do work long hours, but for the most part as far as earning what they make, engineers do more of their own work than the other two combined.

Generally speaking, lawyers and doctors are at a higher pedestrial. So let us narrow down the tuffle to doctors & lawyers. Doctors & lawyers earn more with more experience. After considerable experience, many lawyers as compared to doctors earn more. At the initial stages, if lawyer is recruited into a good law firm he earns definately more than the doctor who even may be the attending. If lawyer and doctor individually practice, then initially the doctor may earn more, but in a holistic and general sense, it is the lawyer who will eventually earn more than the doctor. So the answer is Lawyer...

I'm in my last year of college to be an engineer and I was disappointed our starting salaries is so low avg is like $45-55k. So engineers don't make that much money.
My bro-in-law is going to be a doctor and his starting could be up to $90-100k.
Dunno about lawyers. You could do a search on the web for starting or avg salaries.

It depends. ON HOW long the person has been doing it, their effort, and where they live.
