Which profession pays the most in America?

Answer 1

BEING Oprah

Answer 2

Of course there are the extremely unique jobs like athletes, entertainers, actors, writers, etc.

The jobs that are more obtainable to the ambitious and hard working:

Investment Bankers: If you can land a position at one of the top investment banking firms you have potential to be extremely wealthy.

Lawyers: In a top firm in a large metropolitian area make very good money.

CEO / CFO / COO. If you can work all the way up the corporate latter there is a ton of money.

Mutual Fund Managers

Entreprenheurs who have success in a good growing industry.

Those are some

Answer 3

Succesful financial advisors who charge a % of the profits, but that requires practice, knowledge and discipline.

The profession that pays the most with the lesser investment and less skills is, sadly, the oldest "profession".

Answer 4

Real Estate Brokers/Agents

Answer 5

In the long run, the profession that pays the most is social/political acivist: angels (and God) really dig them. Capitalistic pursuits are frowned upon unless you apply your profits to humanitarian aid.

But if all you're looking for is money, I'd suggest a business degree.

Answer 6

Ask Hugh Hefner

Answer 7

I was told that a Doctor of Anesthesiology is the highest paid profession. A Dentist does really well also.

Answer 8

Pro football, baseball and basketball

Answer 9

I don't know about the US but up here in Canada you can make quite a good living working in the trades. I know an HVAC (Heating,Venting,Airconditioning) guy that's making $100,000+/year. Not bad for no schooling.
