I looked at the top 10 highest paying jobs out of curiosity -and greed- and I saw most of them are medical, lawyers and such. All of those jobs are around 6-8 years of education. Are there any fun, high paying jobs that aren't so medically inclined? (In the yearly $90,000 area, because thats around what the top 10 jobs pay and i haven't found anything around there that isin't medical and I'm very interested in finding out things like that)

1. Cop or Correctional Office - In CA, the average cop or CO can make $100K plus with just a little OT. College: Usually less than 2 years.
2. Marketing: Most only require a 4 year degree in humanities or Poly Sci which is pretty much a skate degree.

This may not appeal to you, and if it did you should do serious research before embarking on it, but I was an exotic dancer for a long time and put myself through a Bachelor's degree and a Master's with the money I made. Your geographic location will be the biggest determinant of how much money you could make. I worked in 49 different cities around the world, in 56 clubs, and very much enjoyed the work. My best $ cities were Anchorage in the summer, San Francisco (although this may have changed), Tokyo, and Los Angeles. I made pretty good money in London, too, but I believe the possibility of good money is less now (there are so many clubs). Oh, and Las Vegas in October, January, and March.
If this does interest you, you could start your research here:

Check out the forums, particularly Stripper Web- the people are very helpful there.

Pilots make more money than surgeons and they don't have to go to school too long.
Also Chefs if you live in the right city my husband is one and we live in Vegas. There are culinary jobs going for 100-150K a year.
RN's and nurses can make a decent living for about 2 years of schooling.
And...you can do a whole lot with a Business degree.

I agree, being a chef is very lucrative--IF you are good!
Sales is always the way w/o a lot of education--a BA can give you the background to go into specialties.
A finance degree can get you to Wall Street if you go to a top school and get really good grades
