The best paying job in the U.S. is anesthesiologist, with an average salary of $235,070-a-year.   Sounds easy, all you have to do is put patients to sleep for surgery and make sure nothing you do kills them!

 

Top salaries after anesthesiologist, go to surgeon, oral surgeon, OB/GYN, orthodontist, internist, other miscellaneous physicians, general practitioner, psychiatrist, CEO.

 

All 10 jobs average at least $175,000-a-year.  They need it to pay back those student loans!

 

And then we have the starter jobs that you don't want to stick with for too long, because nobody makes any money where you see this sign, except maybe the CEO at the fast food corporation.
