Forbes and MSN have profiled, the "Best & Worst-Paying Jobs."
Top-Dollar jobs: Surgeons ($181,850 per year), Anesthesiologists ($174,000), CEOs ($140,880), airline pilots ($134,000,) Computer/Info systems chiefs ($100,110). Lawyers and marketing gurus also make fat salaries.
On the other end, Low-Dollar jobs include: "Fast-food cooks ($15,230), followed by busboys, dishwashers and waiters." The average annual pay for all positions (high and low) is &37,440.
The MSN/Forbes feature offers a link to an informative slide show with details about the best pay per job based on region of the country (top paying state/top-paying metro area). The demographic information is ideal for anyone coming out of college, switching jobs or relocating.
Of course, where you make the most money doing those jobs is the least affordable places to live. I bet a bus-boy in rural Georgia makes out better than a bus-boy in NYC when you factor in the cost of living.
