What is the easiest to learn, best paying field to learn in computers?
edit: Thanks for the input, guys.
I'm just about finished high school and I'm just not sure what to do...

It's more a matter of how good you are in a given field and how much experience you have, rather than which field in particular. The very most senior-level programmers typically earn 120k+, whereas entry-level programmers in the same language might only earn 45.
Same with networking. Senior systems administrators for large networks can earn 120-150k+, while IT support just starting out as technicians only earn 40-50.
The examples go on and on. The main point to take away is that "computers" is not a get-rich-quick industry, despite what the media may have you believe. It works very much the same as every other career - the more time and experience you accrue, the more opportunities and higher pay you will receive.
As far as easy to learn - that depends on what you enjoy. If you like something and it's interesting to you, it will be easy to learn. If not, it will be very difficult to learn. Take some entry level courses on programming, networking, hardware and see what you enjoy the most.

Easiest I think is networking if your hands on person and always need to be doing something if your patient then programming would be your best bet either one pays well it all depends on the company size and the education you have going into both. You can make good money in either fields depending on how much education you receive...........I wouldn't go for money it doesn't make you happy go for what you love either being hands on with computers doing networking and repairs or setting up software and writing with programming

Most, if you have the aptitude, are easy to learn. However, when it comes to best paying - HA! All those jobs are being outsourced at a ridiculously fast pace! Be careful and maybe look elsewhere.

its between security and networking, but to get the major bucks takes years of learn like cisco, doing ccna, ccne. and the same for secuirty, eg u will need to know firewalls, virus programs backwards, including voip, sql etc.
