20 Highest Paying Jobs in the World

Neurosurgeons are the best paid people in the world

At my childhood days, i always wanted to be a lawyer. but as time grew on i realized my potential and moved on with sciences. then i read a book titled gifted hands.i love this profession cuz ben carson is a genius

Neurosurgery can involve very stressful work, because a very small mistake can cripple or even kill a patient. Neurosurgeons usually train for many years following medical school, so they invest a lot of time in the profession.

Neurosurgeons, big up and work hard. The sky is the limit baby!

Where is Sports? Sports and Entertainment are the highest paying jobs. They get you millions of dollars a year easily.

NEUROSURGEONS CAN SAVE THE WORLD

how much do they get paid?

Looks like an epic job the salary is good I always wanted to be some sought of doctor

Its the best

My uncle is a top neurosurgeon in Amercia, gets paid in excess of two million dollars pa.

Yer whats that about?

i do not think so they are plenty of other jods that have a higher income than that for example elevetor installers

Whats that about ?

think of all the fairies in the fairie kingdom...

i like thiss profession...........

I do this for a living i go to work everyday scared that i might kill someone very stressful but good because i can support my family well

How much gets paid a week

I believe the success to become a neurosurgeon takes great drive and motive to help people, the rewards are great, I'm getting paid around £350,000 but I does take a lot of stress to have the reward

i want to be a biologist also but i od want ot make alot of money also

ACTUARIES ARE THE MOST PAID PROFFESUONALS IN 2012

the three real highst paying jobs in the world is drug trafficking, fire armer trafficking , and sex slaving

There are other more stressfull occupations that are less well paid. Neurosurgeons bury their mistakes, while others have to fix their mistakes!!

I like this job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!But its too hard!! XD

I was interested in this job for a while, but then i started to relize that when all of the schooling is all over i would be to old to start a family and when becoming a Neurosurgen people don't relize you have to tell families that their loved one is going to die...not the job for me

definately a top paying job taking to account its undertaking and academics

i read about it alot and it is a lot of studying years of practice and years of internship it is a tough job to pursue and very stressful i dont only want to do this for my family though i want to do this for the less fortunate and give back help the poor after i earn my monies my son should be well off when he goes to college

they are getting payed most money per year at average obviously there are jobs more payed like if your a professional soccer player but we are talking ''average'' and if you finish studying this, its extremely easy to find a job

I believe that their are many better paying jobs, orchestra conductors can get millions, and singers, and dancers. However, still a well paid job but too much stress.

its crazy if you are really good you could get up to 15mill per year

what is that and how much money dose it make????

studying this in the first place isnt easy, and the mortality rate isnt too pleasing as well.

wow....

its a good job but lots of stress and studying but so worth it for the $$$$$$$

It pays a lot but when you look how much you pay for insurance it equals out and isn't nearly as much.

This is definitely my future profession! I am 14 and i've been wanting to do this since i was 11! Looks fun, awesome and interesting! Things my future career look like!

It's an amazing job

im getin paid 375kafter taxes and before bonus

I make about twice as much and I haven't been to school as much...oops!

Sounds scary but cool :?

too much stress

I didn't know that this was the highest paying job .... cool!

ikr

Malpractice insurance for this field can cost up too $100k a year.... That's how high stress this job is. Not for the faint of heart and definitely not for just anyone. Only the best of the est actually become decent neurosurgeons

I dont believe this. It depends much on the person on how he or she handles his or her profession, and there's a lot of other factors to consider.

what needs to be done after mbbs to b a neurosurgeon and how much time and money one needs to put in

This is probably one of the highest stressed jobs, and most difficult. Its not like you open their back and get paid millions. You have to do it all correctly or they die, you get sued, or you accidentaly kill them some how and then are deeply depressed. This is not just a job you do it is a very important job. You must be very educated for this job. Even though i am not one my uncle is and he is indeed rich, but like i said it is a high stress job so they deserve it and all the hours they put in.

exxellent career around 220k usd pa

it is an excellent job and also well paid .. i am going to become one

highly payed job

how much do they make

i wanna be a succesful engineer

Dream job

I like CHEESE

grat

I like cheese

yah thats true computer science is what the world needs know

Its awesome

DREAMS DO COME TRUE!😉

Wow then we will be needing more computers!

Cool I think it should more💲!

Its most efficient and sencible job

My dream job

I am a charted engineer in London, it really depends where you are in a company. I oversee all the other engineers and am I project manager, this is where you can expect to be when working in a top engineering firm such a B.A.E. where I work. The salary is becoming more based on this work you do and not an annual wage, last year my earning before tax was about £730,000.

its not true anymore because of too much of competition. from what i heard from my friends who work as computer engineers for US banks, its around $70-120K pa. and risky during recessions. more over there are N number of consultancies who bid for these position for less than 20$ / hr irrespective of the complexity of the work or the scarcity of the skill Suresh from India

my interest

i like computer e.

Yeah software engineering is the most payable job in the world :)

Well,it depends on the company's market value,their annual revenue. Most of the computer engineers were kicked out during RECESSION nd it is not a stable profession were ur salary remains high. CHANGES WITH TIME.......

How much if you work for apple or hp?

i wish i would know in which country this is paid most..?

Hi thing this should be the best payed job because we are involving in technology everyday and we need technology to survive.

if this is true may b i should ask my boss for a raise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How much does it pay, Because I always wanted to be a computer engineer,and I am so glad that it is the second much paying job.

How much does it pay in $$$$$$?

What is the average amount that software engineers earn PA??

It should be software developers in this spot before engineers, I'm on a 6 figure wage before bonuses and hey.......I'm happy as

I'm one and making very little... def nothing like what doctors and lawyers make

come on guys! you need to check first the top earners in the world and from what industry they belong. 2012 richest man on earth #1.Carlos Slim Helú (Telecom) #2. Bill Gates(Microsoft)...who says its easy,? lol! not to defend this title but one needs high intelligence and analysis with this job. neurosurgeon ranked 1st because people still value human life rather than technologies. good thing!

Hmmm

i think that a computer engineer is a easy job its just getting the degrees thats the hard parts

well i think every job has downsides to it but this is really an interesting & paying job; its just that how look at it!!

this is cool

Marvellous, this is the most interested job and the most cool job in the whole world in m view. And furthermore this job will of course give us a picture of an easy Air-conditioned task, but in reality this job demand a high intelligence and responsibility. But still I can't believe that this one has been ranked No.2 :/

You guys are highly disturbed or distracted, please focus while you comment, this job does not only consist of one which is computer engineers, you can do Computer Science and do a master degree on it and get MBA, Earns up to £150,000 PA. Not only Networking Engineer, thats one of the most common ones for low classed engineers.

then y do i got under paid?? ;(

Interesting. Perhaps some research is in order...

computer engineers are not that paid man let be hunestry on it....

Pay for computer engineers depends a LOT on where you work

I can be a ceo because I'm the best in the world

sounds fun

A CEO, Paids more that more, Its 1# one, The best paid surgeons = 450.00 / 570.00$ And a CEO = 77 Mil For your company + bonus

I bet he/she is worth every penny, not!

i really want to be a ceo but im still in high school its good to dream big............help me lord...!!!!!!!!!!

should be a lot higher, my dad is the head of human resources global, for the 41st largest corporation in the UK and in total he earns just under 500k GPB a year, so id put it up there

it needs a higher position

I doubted. For example airline's CEO gets 10 times more than a pilots. and Pilots at 5th & CEO at19th. lol

LOVE LAW

is that all u care about money think if your going to enjoy it first

my sis is a pain in de butt shes always arguing wit me cuz she wants to be a lawyer butt thumbs up sis i luv ur career.from MIRACLE JASPER

I'm so in love with this occupation.......m 19 this year and i wanna be a lawyer

being a lawyer seems really fun and thats what i wont to be but you have to do a seven year course which seems tough but i think its worth a shot for the stack of money! lol

I am a criminal laywer and I get 40,000 before tax, that is nothing like CoEs!

most people in my family are successful lawyers and looking at my dad's bank account i don't judge them! Damn! endless zeros!

blood sucking immoral workshy bent...

lawyers are very smart

If the Lawyer is very Brilliant they will get asked fee

i believe it is a highly paid job because of all the divorces and crimes happening lately its sad but truee

l believe it is good job and it is deep inside my heart

You are driving along a road and you see 25 lawyers standing in a trench with concrete up to their necks. What does this mean? Someone ran out of concrete.

hopefully!

do you have to work in a city?

this is my passion;) thanks lots of help!

I'm so gonna become a lawyer......i love it with all my heart.

for almost everything in life u need some form of legal document or u have to go throw some form of legal process. aka lawyers run the world!!!

money isn't evrything i'm doing this because i love it the studies is not easy but nothing in life is. many say lawyers are liers but once u understand what u have to do and what it is all about u'll think differently i know i did:)

I graduated from Law School 3 years ago. Worked in Criminal, and Civil Litigation. Now I write songs for pop stars. Much happier. It is NOT for everyone. Also, the hours you spend working are insane.

I Am 11 this is my ultimate ambition

Better be an awarding job for paying and going 8 years of college.

awesome!!!

declan macdonald

yah... Lawyers earn the most....

I CAN SAY THAT THE LAWYER IS THE BEST JOB BECAUSE IM A LAWYER!

very stressful job but thats the way to earn £££

That is what has made them a little cheeper. In Oregon there are so many lawyers that they have brought the average price down.

Very true, some lawyers get paid in millions =/

I want to be a pilot but am confused if the pay high or less

pilots rule

Being a pilot sounds really fun, but there are still the dangers. I'm still thinking about being one though.

add points to this job~~~~()()()

yay....

i really wanna be a pilot®

why work when you can fly haha....

AIRLINE PILOTS DO HAVE THE BEST JOB ON THE PLANET!!!!

An airline pilot is my dream job. I wanted to be an airline pilot from a very young age 6 or 7. I am 13 and joining the RAF cadets to help me become and get this truly amazing job!!

This is a cool job, I like it. But some of these comments make no sense at ALL, they are retarted and should be removed! Oh, and, LEARN TO SPELL!

My dads been flying planes for nearly 30 years now so he is quite high up and is a captain for a decent company. He spent a great deal of money on learning to fly and the courses involved, so he was broke after. It took him many many years to become comfortable again. Yes when you look at how much he's earning its a bloody lot! But he only gets about just over half of it because of the flipping tax. My dad is a very clever man, being a pilot especially captain comes with a lot of pressure and stress every day of your life. For the amount of effort concentration and improvisation which is needed to put in to flying, he definitely does not get paid the amount he deserves. Call me ungrateful but it's true, especially when footballers earn my dads yearly salary in a week. Now how is this fair? Although I have to say my dad loves his job and he says after all these years he still gets the thrill of taking off and landing, bless him. I am very proud of you dad, well done, you deserve so much more x

I'm only fourteen and wanted to be an airline pilot since I was 3 or 4 so I do an aviation course at school so I can get better at earning all that cash, $300.000 australian dollars

what if snake where to . . . i dont know get on the plane? hmm

i want to be a pilot

it's my dream job and I'm a woman ...

pilots ni kweree dats my laguage!!!!

Flying a 380 tons machine with 300 people at the back...no job and money can replace this feeling guys...it is like u r ruling the skies...no body other then pilots can get this feel..with a flick of your hand u turn this baby in the skies ..wooohhhh

its my dream ive always wanted to be a pilot, ever since i was a little kid id watch the planes fly by

I meant to say 500,000-600,000 GBP a year.

I had a look on the British Airways site and it said that some of the best captains earn around 500-600GBP a year. Also I have wanted to be a pilot since I was two and a half years old! ROCK ON PILOTS!!!!!!!

i am a corporate/ charter pilot pursuing this dream and it has been a nightmare. Imagine spending $160K on training and being offered a job at $18000 per year as a flight instructor, did that for 5 years. FO for $18 to 32K for another 5 years... I have been flying for 16 years and now make $55K. All the money is being earned as a Capt. on Int'l aircraft in the last 5 years of your career. This does not belong here.

I want to be one. bit salarys a bit low. i dont care its my purpose in life. go southwest!

I'm soo gonna be one!, soo happy

Trust me it is horrible i have been working at United for 15 years as a 1st officer and we are taking huge pay cuts because of the economic crisis and 9/11. Trust me!! It sucks

my dream job........

What?? Are u kidding me?? A pilot gets to fly, get his bills paid on time, his health is bein watched after, u get to do ntn with ur salary but shop nd hav fun!! This job is irreplacable in the entire universe..Capt SI Anka

good money

I my dream job

I would never be one. you are away from your home for weeks, and there is a huge amount of stress involved.

I want to be one sooooooooo bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome job!! but you have to be a pilot for one airline for almost 10 years to hit the big money. Also emirates as i should know give you accommodation allowance so i know live in Dubai with my wife and occasionally get the Manchester flight to see my family. Great job wouldn't swap it for anything!!!!!!

Respect to all airline pilots. It's not easy knowing so many lives depend on you

i totally agree...if u have a family u shouldnt be a pilot...

I've been thinking about this one (or being a pilot in general, military or commercial) for some time now. However, I've heard some bad things (sleepless nights on the job, not enough pay, union affiliation problems) that have turned me off commercial airlines a bit. Is this true?

u get 2 see the chicks......n travel da whole world

The best job on the planet

ya i agree with u.

A great job if you're single but if you have a family, being a pilot can be very stressful and you miss many special events with your family

The fact of thinking that you must be on the top of your efficiency and vigilance each flight and possess an excellent analytical mind to analyse carefully every data provided by the airplane computers, dealing calmly with critical situations (bad meteorology, airplane failures...), direct all of flight crew members as a captain ,cooperate with air traffic controllers from ground and many other tasks can put the career of an Airline Pilot among the highly paid and best jobs in the world!

410,000 cathay pacific

great pay and also other benefits

can i get job in foreign coutries?i m a nepali citizen.sum1 plz sugest me.

You get to fly the most amazing invention of mankind, 747, 330, 777, 380, imaging flying these babies ... and you want to get highly paid for that ... you must be kidding ... the best job ever .. no money can replace it ...

My name is Chris Rodchrick, I am former capitIan for AIR Canada. I have flew for over 10,000hrs and I retired. On my first year I made around 90K and on my last year, 320K. If you have any questions about becoming a pilot, e-mail me at chris_rodchrick@sympatico.ca Happy Flying

starting salary is nowhere near 80k. It costs about 100k to train! and the basic is in the region of 20-30k. Experienced pilots make more but that is many years down the line when you reach the rank of captain. The best paid pilots fly for cathay pacific and virgin atlantic.

You really got this VERY wrong. Airline pilots are NOT that well paid, unless from singapour airlines or emirates which make ther difference through benefits.

depends on airline and experience. starts at around 85 and goes as high up as 150. it is not the highest but it definitely is fun.

how much does it pay

PERFECT JOB IN THIS WORLD

it's a dream job!!!!

i too would love to be an accountant since im the best in accounting and i lloovve accounting and accountants are in need and they do great a great job so they deserve high payments.....

hope God bless my future to be a chatered accountant.

what is the earning of ca? give me some tips to be a good ca?

my dream job... am on my way towards it.... hope i succeed...

Accounting would be boring. Bring on business.

wish i knew in which country it pays the most

i think CA deserve those fat pay cheques

The name of this profession alone gives you much respect in society and anybody can study to become an Accountant irrespective of your age. And if you are good in Maths and memorizing numbers, figures, and if you love calculations, then you can do it. I'm personally trying to become Accountant because God will not judge me for having killed any human being at hospital through operation.

i've thought about working as a accountant, im only 15 years old and worried about running out of time to find a great job,what should i be studying in school to be a successful accounter? and what do accounters specifically do?

I think CA's high salary

Best Job i am one Atm and research alot on it

This is where my heart belongs!

this is very funny job. where you will have lot of money but you cannot enjoy with that salary is comparative less than other job. so many responsibility but less salary

that is what I am going for to get my Bachelors in Accountting? is challenging but not impossible.let'd do this.

I like turtles

This is what I will be very soon.

Accountants would be an amazing field to go in!! Can not wait to get into it and get my feet wet.

to be honest this should be number two..........lucky i am , studyng towards it

this is the most enjoyable job than ever lol......

yaaa great i am interested too!!!

but its tough to study

I thought CA's earned a larger salary

i have decided at last because these two jobs always conflicts in my career

Accountants are super awesome!!!!!!

tis not always right.i dissaprove tis

yeah ofcors accountants are the one who deals with million and trillion bucks !!!

my dad does this

This is a great lucrative profession for someone who thinks "doctors" make a lotta money & the whole "India" crowd obsessed w/ wanting to be doctors sor engineers.... I need to look into this...

I agree! I think I ought to look into this.. For someone obsessed w/ " wanting to be a doctor". this is worth looking into....

loosing someone else's money is stressful? Do me a favour, go down the bookies and put a months wages on a favourite horse, that's stressful! Hang on, isn't that what they do anyway? lol

its truly thru best job in the world but itss seriously stressful

not anymore. now we are living though times. everything is changing.

They get paid alot. I would want to be one because I love to speak foreign languages, i am pretty darn good at math, and I also love suits and computers.

wow this is really cool

News flash!...your career does not depend on the colour of your skin, it depends on how hard you work

I really want to be this job. Not only because they make good money, because they get to travel so I would get to speak other languages, and they get to do math (which i am pretty good at) and wear suits!

they deserve more money because it is a very difficult job

i will do this job in inernet what type of work is it please guidelines thank you.

Yup well everyone wants money lol...

we all no that indians have the best jobs around the world

I don't get how these guys earn more than surgeons that actually do something constructive for the world and not kick a ball around all day.... its a cool sport guys but seriously everything has its limits

lionel messi has just beaten everyone's record.

Bale earns £300k + A WEEK

the richest fotballer right now is David Beckham

Now,Cristiano Ronaldo (Plays for Real Madrid) Earns 17 Milion Euros a year. Month/1.416666 Euros

Wow I wish I could be a football player like him I always wanted to be one but I'm a girl can girls do it and I play football 4 times a week I love football I am very skilled and when I'm older I want to play with the boys but I can't! :/

best job everrrrrrrrrr

Etoo earns 500 a week

Some people need this money

£250000 a week is a huge sum, but is FAR from making Tevez or any other overpaid player the richest guys in the world. Talk to anyone in currency trading or hedge fund management and £250000 is chump change.

yall nuckleheads are WRONG. lionel mesi is the greatest soccer player thats ever lived. have you all been living in a cave?!?! -AMERICAN girl

ohh... but i found out that in 2012, David Bekham is the 1 who has been paid the highest

Lol but Cristiano Ronaldo is the most expansive player right now

wow i'm shocked i knew they got alot of money but to be in the top 5 wow!!!!! LETS ALL BE FOOTBALLERS!! LOL

Soccer Players get the hot chicks, get to play the sport they love and if they are winning are adored by their fans. Beats sitting infront of a computer all day or worrying about stock options and money. Thus this job should be at the number 1 spot

and a lot of the sports players make lots of money from people using them in commercials and products

well it doesnt always work out that you will make money you are just naming the best in the world wich are only about 10% of all soccer/football pplayers so just because you are a player it does not mean you are rich

Samuel Eto earns £345,000 a week, AFTER tax

so wayne rooney earns 250k a week and there players in spain that earn about 250k - 350k a week (all in £ pounds £)

Bill Gates is obviously Not the richest guy....look it up

The said NEARLY...

Bill Gates is obviously the richest guy.....not that football player...

That is WAY too much for a sports player. Its no wonder that those who aren't serious about getting a real education are fine with getting crappy liberal arts degrees (or skipping college altogether). They've got plenty of entitlement programs to keep them above water while they find a job that takes minimal brain power while paying out maximum salary. Stupid democrats...

thats a lot of money

Carlos Slim is the richest man in the world and the highest paid footballer in the world is Cristiano Ronaldo and he gets paid $17.06 million a year

trying to beat the no 1 spot, keep it up

good for him

this would be number one wouldn't it cuz they are always flashy and got loads of cash to spare!

actually the most paid guy is mexican and he has $74 Billion. he owns a telephone company.

david beackem gets paid $90 every second he is on the feild pluse money from sponsors

But hey, got to hand the trophy to investment bankers and hedge-fund managers.

If you remove entrepreneurs from the scene and restrict the focus to individual jobs, experienced actuaries, on average, earn approximately $512000 p.a and CFA's earn approximately $450000 p.a(if you add their stock options, on average experienced CFA's are known to take home approximately $3.52mil p.a.). . . just a thought.

People, please get some facts right before commenting, rather than making foolish comments. Go to Forbes webpage and look for the billionaires link. Shoud give you the world's top 10 richest men. . . And no, Tevez is nowhere close. And no, Bill Gates is only worth $56 billion, not over $200 billion.

lol not 5.2 billion a week and tevez is £250 grand a week not a month and bill gates is worth over 200billion $ if he sold Microsoft so tevez richest man in the world pffffff..........

5.2 billion a week, that's just disgusting

u should see nanis salary £5.2billion a week

comon dude (referring 2 d last guy that dropped a comment), of course we know that tevez is no whr close to bill gates, after tevez gets his pay-check approved by an arabian boss (UAE) ___arab money!

no he isnt lmao bill gates earns 45 billon a year, after ressection duhhhh

It's actually 250,000 per week!

Even great architects can struggle their whole career to make money enough to finish paying off their student loans. Go into Construction management, they are the ones making all the money in construction. This list is wrong on a lot of these careers. Especially this one. It's a minority or lucky architects that make good money. But even a dude sitting at home making YouTube videos of his daily events makes more money than architects.

I am 15 and I really wan to become and Architect. But I want to be a residential architect like the ones who build houses. I think they make 73,090 the last time I checked. I'm pretty sure it's more.

what its salary in 2014 now , if its great job , im thinking to be an architect next year so i dont know yet if its a good n high paying job is it ??? please somebody reply

i wouldnt mind having this job, but just the feeling that you are responsible for at least a hundred peoples lives, it would be too much pressure

i'm an architect i say it depends on how you do your work impressively.be smart and i'm sure you'll be payed high.

guyzz what about naval architect...

If Architect follow Exellence , Sucess will Automatically Chase them. Hope thier Skills in Interest.

It all depends on how well you know your stuff and can translate it to your clients!

You are badly informed. This is simply not true, make searches for jobs in architecture (problems won't be listed!). In Spain the median architect earned less than a bus driver, now we are at about 40% that. So stop saying lies of this beautiful profession. Of course some make money but come more from nepotism, redtape and corruption than any true artistry or technical abilities. If you love your son don't recommend this to him whilst society learns to appreciate our work. He can find difficult even to recover the investment to pay the careerl

HEY my sister is an architect too but she cant find a job someone help it has to be in AZ

well my dad is an architect and he wins 162 thousand dollars per year and it is not true that architects dont get paid very well because it depends if your a good architect or not it also depends on what you design. For an example, buildings towers, houses,etc.

i am an architect and i get paid 317,000 am currently working on a project in Dubai and maybe it'll increase

im really into in architecture, but i love economics and don´t know if study architecture or something related with finances and having architecture as a hobbie.. i want to earn plenty of money to travel around the world :p

it is stacking papers of payment with many discoveries and artistic ways in working

my neighbour is a architect he works in a large firm .... my dad told me that he gets like 180k a year but his japanease so that make sense

My father is a architect and he has a very good salary, he has designed many buildings. however being a architect very stressfull.You need to be a strong character to work in this occupation :D

To those architects who aren't making any money aren't brave. I'm an architect myself to be successful and earn the money you have to spend it first. Be creative, don't be scared of criticism and take it on the chin. From my experience and what I've learnt, you have to take risks by designing your own stuff. I've failed how many times, but by learning from them I have my own trademark and earning plenty of money. Just don't be scared of losing. And hey maybe one day you might be even designing my house :)

No chance uk you would be lucky to earn 45k at senior level the people the small practices like mine earn better beacause of low overheads sometimes you can earn about £350 for about 1/2 an hours work but theres only a few of them jobs that ever come along. If you have a look at the top architects the business is in debt Norman Foster is a good one

There is no money in this profession, only problems.

just watch fountain head film.. you ll get the idea of being an architect. He is definitely the best professional

YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME!!!! WHERE DID YOU GET THIS FROM? I'M AN ARCHITECT AND I'M NOT EVEN CLOSE TO HAVING MY OWN HOUSE!

yer buy how mch are they paid, innit brov.

Don't know where you got this from, but this is a very very wrong assumption. The best paid jobs are mainly in the medical sector, an architect comes nowhere near it! :)

theres no money in building at the moment

they help shapr the world after all.

you guys are old im from 2050

The most money they can get is 11 million and I know that for a fact!

Awesome awesome awesome that would be my dream I'm going to be one when I'm older yes yes yes! 😊

i want to

i wanna be

movie people get like 900,000 dollars a year

Its love and talent , those are two musts in this .

this is a terible amount of money for anyone to make no footballer is should ger that me

its my dream and i won;t be do it for money but for love. by the way how many woman directors got at the top? i mean getting nomination for being best. who is the youngest movie director in south africa?

maybe 1% of all directors will make more than 100000 a year

and cut that was horribily

how to b a physiotherapist

not in the uk. you barely earn anything

For all you uk physios...head to the usa. I'm going to earn 55k as an entry level Physio with a few years experience

no doubt.... government policies and need for geriatric has placed this profession at height

its gud the starting salary ranges between 10000-30000 pm in india nw im dng bpt in top most clg in andra.p really its gud they offer me job aftr education its equal 2 doctr

is that so. i dont think so. u have to work with patient and lot of hardwork is required. and salary is meagre. not a good option.,

im a physio and the pay sux !!!

i'm a physio in the nhs and the pay sucks!

Not true in the UK considering the hours you need to work and continuous professional development you need to keep doing and funding. I'm keen to know the countries that pay physios good salaries.

Not true in the UK. Jobs are hard to come by and the usual starting salary in the NHS is 21K a year and goes up to 45K for management

i'm hoping so. i'm studying this now, but the subjects arent easy. and the tendency to be sued is high.

did anyone else have to do a math problem or just me....

wow

What do they really do?

How much will physiotherapist earn each year??

my mum is a Physiotherapists and we are doing quite well

You earn good money for home visits after a certain level of experience. Till then it's a struggle.

why isnt it true?

Nope . this is NOT true.

believe me you really don't and you have to train for EVER

yeah l thinks its qite profitable

i am also pursuing CA...hope i will get perfect salary:)

geeez... i hate accounts, how can a person be able to withstand numbers all their life.. that is just insane, though i respect the money paid but i dont think its worth the pain and stress

it is one of the best job one could do in his lifetime it is the most reputated white collar professions and one could earn bundles of money if he practices well

yeah...it is the post profitable job if one practices with effort and sciencirety....of course its my dream career and i will be one till 2020

I have a great aim of being CA. I hope not only but promised to be. A top and most reputated CA

really,i think in india this job is very very profitable

The point about not seeing your kids grow up is invalid. You get an average of 6 months off a year! Plenty of time to see them !

Boooo!

i am oil n gas engineer, but it is v.hard to find a job............

Try being the offshore drilling engineer. can make up to $2500/day

except for the fact that you don't get to see your kids grow up and one day you come home and your 3 year old doesn't know who you are? oh yeah greeaaaaattt career choice

this sounds like a job for me

I think it is the best job in the world!!!!!!!!!!

thats a don job

Way too small.pay for an intricate job

My dream job!

Undervalued and underpaid

i think they should be on the top of the list not number 32

that's my major, is it as good as they say or no ?

it should be no5 or something

its not a big salary in this world at this moment for mechanical engineering ,,,,,it should be increased for mechanical engineering .

I want to become a scientist

Become an engineer

I'm in high school and I have exclent grades in science but its not my dream to become a Scientist "what should"?

He does the most greatest job ever

well i think a anesthesologist gets paid waaaaaaaay more than scientist do . P.S. An anesthesologist is someone who puts a patient to sleep while the surgerie is going on

Not in Indonesia...

yes

good choice

I'm very interested in science but what kind of science would be the best for a big salary?

can a scientist really make above 500K.......for example can a physicist make above 500K

my daddys a scientist and he makings approx $500,000 a year without taxing ofc

not true. not all scientists get paid alot. it depends in how highly qualifies u are and experiance.

it is really best job to do but outside India. New Zealand, Canada, hongkong, Dubai, UK,USA are the good places to be a dental professional.

I love this occupation and I love to be one

Here in Finland I know one dentist who have own practice and her incomes are over 7000 euros/month (net).

this should be among top 5 professions.....

i am eager to do dentistry

i love my profession...its the best job of the whole world..atleast you don't have night shifts and you can sleep peacefully.

this prefession is the most common of people commiting suicide..... what i means is that if u become adentist uv got the most chance of commiting suicide from bordom. just putting that out there xxx

am actually kind of surprised there 17not 24

this is my dream job. But I think it needs a lot of effort to become one.

average salary in uk is £70000 year!!

We mint!

Yes they do earn millions a year but... most of that money is tied up in stocks. If they where to release these stocks onto the maket all at once they would flood it causing the price to hit zero. Not good.

smiterban is one

Gynaecologist is what I wanted to be since a child ! I WILL do dat :') yes, i am a woman, I will make power womans ;)

This is what i whant to be when i grow up!! An obstetrician!! For those of you who dont know what an obsetrician is its, a person who delivers babies. But to bad if you dont like it or think its disgusting, cause im gonna earn big bucks!! (more than $200,000 a year!!!

lol what is it, look it up on wiki, you'll be suprised, or disgusted

this womans doctor

how much does it pay?

What is that

What about the Neurosurgeons?

how much do they make a year? Is it $300,000, $400,000, or $500,000? I want to go into this field.

Sounds boring

The list goes on? Hahaha, you listed one thing. Lol, they pretty much just put people to sleep and monitor them. I know because my dad is an anesthesiologist.

I relly like this career but I'm not sure

It's also a cutthroat sector of the medical field and one of the hardest ones to become. It's around the same amount of time, experience, stress, and medical school debt as neurosurgery. And no it's not just putting people to sleep, it's chemistry. Putting people under for surgery is an extremely dangerous thing and requires a lot of understanding of te field to accomplish. Not too mention the cases of victims that woke up in the middle of a surgery because the anastetic dose was off by .5 mg....

i wanted to become one, but my doctor said that i shouldnt because they are extrememly stressed and have the highest number of suicides , now im studing biomedical technology in durban heading towards stem cell research boooyaaa!

Its true what you said above but you also need to know a lot of math and science because if you mess up and are even off by a littte they can wake up while in surgery and sue (i think its how its spelled) then you could have to be charged millions...happened to a friend of mine

they do way more than just put you to sleep. they do nerve blocks which targets pain relief and eventually but not limited to treating RSD= Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy and the list goes on, they are as well paid and almost in more demand than cardiologist.

the electrical engineers i work with get paid about 90k-120k per year. (i am an electrician, we make 75-130k depending on how much overtime we work) working on the same project. this is in New York City (highest cost of living in the United States, so that 130k doesn't go very far.

truelly are needed everywhere and no matter where you are you need the electrical engineer to disign and llayout where the wires.

I think it depend on where country you work on !!!

my dream job!

electrical engg roks

are well paid

scope of this particular field is on rise due to increase in use of electrical technology

everything in this world is electrical

THE STREES

It's really stressful and difficult but if you good it's awesome:) Hav to love them

Join the RAF

Air Traffic Controllers (Contrôleur Aérien ou Aiguilleur du Ciel)! fascinating and unique job! The ATCo is considered as the third Pilot but few of people are aware of this, How is it? Ok, ATCos work usually at Airports' Control Towers and Area Control Centers using Radar technologies and permenant radio communications with Airline Pilots during the whole flight, guiding them to their destinations and providing them with many vital informations. They MUST be self confident enough to make crucial decisions under pressure (an ATCo can handle much more than 1,2 or 3 airplanes in the same time carrying a lot of lives) and assist Airline Pilots to the end of the flight. So the responsibility of the flight is shared between Pilots and ATCos. ATCo's been called the most stressfull job in the world.

not paid much

how can u become a atc...i wld like to become one but i don't now if its right for me... any tips??\

how do u study to be an ATC doesnt seem really popular

It's true, but not many people know that.

This does depend on sector and experience..you could be an engineer working on outboards for £20/30 ph....mor you could be working for farreti on 4/5 million £ boats and be on £100 ph...

Rank Should be 3 to 7....

Rank should be between 5 & 10.

brAvo!!happy to a marine engineer

what's the salary of a marine engineer?

cool

yes this is a factual fact, infact it seems to be placed among the top seven , my career field, i have big ambition in this, it entails alot of benefits, the biggest problem is that u spend time outside the family

hey yes they do get lots coz my husband is a marine engineer,n m so proud of him.

I think looking at Lord Alan Sugar, he would probably be above number 1.

I, and most of my entrepreneur friends make far less than we would working for someone else. You become an entrepreneur because of a sick personality :)

an entrepreneur takes risks to start a business. sometimes they're successful, sometimes they're not

entrepreneurship make bill gate richest man in the world

Long live John Galt!

We are enlightened in Washington state and have recognized Cannabis as a miracle drug to stop pain and cure many illnesses and diseases. Maybe they will sell it in the pharmacy. I was a pharmacist, but quit because it was too enjoyable to try the free samples I was given

A Flight Engineer and Aeronautical Engineer are two different things. Flight Engineers are part of the flight crew and monitor fuel, engine, power management, etc. during the flight.

I am an Aeronautical Engineer. This doesn't belong here. I have been interning (no pay) for the past 1 year at one of the best organizations around. No show.

I hope to become an aeronautical engineer in avionics very soon :)

This sholuld be in top.

really ?? i am one .. and it doesnt seem much lol

I always wanted to be from the time I started goingto primary school.

200k sorry

They can earn anything between 49k and 20k depending on the qualifications you have and how often you work. You can also reach the top end of the scale if you work nights and/or you already know how to drive a sub or how to dive they will help you reach the higher amounts of money

how much do they get paid ?

my brother wanted to do this in durban bt ders is no scope here apparently

This is what i have always wanted to be! But how much do they make?

This is my course. I love it. I am chemical engineering student.

thats the best job ever. I LIKE IT...

Chemical Engineers have merely discovered nearly all of the fundamentals and basics which are "hidden" underneath relative topics, such as biology, chemistry, physics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and the like. It is quite alright for the world not to commend them however; how many people in America know the correct definition of a chemical engineer.

At first i wanted to be an antimater for cartoon network now i wanna be a game designer

being game designer is awesome specially fo those who love games!!!!!!

Izzit true that game designing are highly paid???

Yes,Correct Game Designer proffession is the Best:)

Finally got to see game designing on the list. Happy t o know that people in this world even know about game designing.

its possible to become a millionaire but very unlikely. If you have a good team with great ideas you could easily make bank.

Good pay, but takes a lot of brains!

how a person hav 2 invest for that??????:) tell me plzzz

Horse Racing is by far the most expensive sport in the world. Known as 'The Stock Market of Sports'. This requires the most money for mantaining and the keep towards the animals and even the Jockies' diets in order to keep fit. It is more of a way of life, and the expense of a life for a sport that is watched and proclaimed around the world. So if it the most expensive sport in the world the horses that are champions must obviously mean a lot to the owners. The owners rely on the horse and horse trainers causer thats there career and they won't to make and win as much as they can. So think about how much vets that specialize in equine areas would be paid to treat race horses and mabye even world famous one. Not only are you doing your job but your meet and helping an animal that people dream to meet or work with.

I am dreaming to be a radiologist to earn money for my kids

i heard that in the 10th percent tile they make 210,000 25 to 75 percent tile make 300,00 to 470,000 and the 90th percent tile was over 500,000 per year. i hope to become one someday but it is 12 years of college be in debt to pay of college but when u make that much be pretty fast to pay off

I am currently one and it is great!

I wanna be an actress but my mom is persuading me to do something else

Did you know that the harry pottre stars Harry Hermoine and Ron got about 50 million per movie?

My dream is to become an actor and I dont care about the money or the fame, I just want to do my passion for a living...I'm only 13 though -_-

You have to be a very high up 'celebrity' actor. Most actors will rake in only $5,000 a year (that is the common actor, on theatre, etc.) You have to be really really really successful to be raking in the millions like Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts

Lol, first comment. Obviously nobody likes chief operating officers

A structural engineer is just like an architect, and the highest level architect makes an average of about $115,000 a year.

America(Personally start after college $55,000), Canada (Friend makes $120,000 a year start after college) and Australia (Friend 3 years exp $210,000) pay very high wages too,

Can you do by your own game that no teammate?

i dont this a the right position.for this occupation....

''Your mates dad is a civil engineer and lives in a council house''...?? Were the highest paid profession between Eastern Europe straight through to Australia. I myself make 296k in Perth Australia as a senior site engineer and i'm not even chartered yet, the only problem is we have to go where the work is. I think your mate is lying to you about what his dad does for a living

best of em all

Only if you work in the middle east or china not in the UK

Im really hoping to do this for my undergraduate degree. Hope what this site ranks is true xD

Good structural engineers can get paid very large sums of money, although their responsibility is high.

my mates dad is a civil engineer and he is living in a council house i doubt this is true

Build some tall buildings, New york, Atlanta, Civil engineers and construction people have earned a lot of money

Not bad...

obviously these guys are too much busy even to make a comment here :D busy in collecting millions :D 16000$ for 1 operation .... NOT BAD RIGHT!

A cool job dealig with one among the most inporpant organ in our bodies !! surely magnificent

How much do they make?

Is this really true? I'm planning to take this course, but why is it number 40?! I'm on my senior year now and still undecided. :/

iam in high school is this a good job to really go into

there's a lot of schooling involved

make a median salary of $161,000 per year, why isn't this higher

It depend on each country ... in Uk ,US , Canada , Australia ... they get pretty good salary ,but in many lagging countries they get to bad salaries . Where i live people can become nure without high school degree or GED but their salary not good . But who gonna get a nure career he/she should value the human being first .

the pay is not encouraging considering the cost and duration of training, worst of it is if u have a masters or a doctorate, u earn highest 90k at the peak of nursing profession while d least paid md or mbbs earns 80k, u can see so much disparity. finally the work comes with little or no societal recognition

Pay is CRAP? You kidding! I earn around $50/hr doing agency work and approx 80 K annually. Very negative comments here from some 'jaded', unsuccessful nurses I'm guessing.

Nursing is the oldest profession in the world. I'm a uni qualified RN in a tertiary referral hospital. According to Australian standards, an 8th year RN earns around 80,000 K annually (with penalties). Public sector has more entitlements/secure benefits than cutthroat private. Any job is stressful - regardless.. Nursing is a great educator, motivator & gateway to medicine, pharmacy, dentistry etc. As a general rule, you don't have take-home work, and will never be out of work.- as some office workers are during economic downturns. You have an inspiring role to play and meet awesome people from all walks. I've nursed many poor and a few rich & famous. Develops people skills and basic scientific principles. You learn not to stress as much as you learn the value of life.

even though it's a tiresome work...but u get satisfaction at the end of every day...we feel proud wen we can see smile on the face of sick people,,,and the salary is smart...

I'm a jobless RN. Abusive hospitals and clinics. Taking advantage of the oversupply of nurses. Without us, your business are all gonna die, so pay us a little respect.

not true,,,,very demanding, physically,mentally,emotionally draining

Ok this is crap they for got plastic surgeons and chemical engineers and chemist and ce are higher paid than mech engineers

You get paid well as an RN and paid even better of you get your masters. But entry level or LVN nurses get paid crap and clean up crap literally. Not to mention the amount of debt that most LVN's accumulate by going to a private trade schools with no hopes of making it out to finish up the necessary school work to become an RN. High paid nurses aren't in demand, entry level nurses are there's a big difference

nurses are worst paid lot in India...the job earns less respect..often the job is reduced to the level just manual labor.. please compare a nursing graduate's pay package with any other medical graduates(BDS,Bpt,Bpharm.Bsc mlt) ...moreover there is much less career growth opportunity..exhausting job..ONLY ONE UPSIDE to it..US &UK are eyeing cheap nursing labour from India

hey its true nurses are in great demand.n they earn a lot trust me, coz m a nurse...........

IN INDIA KERALA GIRLS GOES TO NURSING MORE,AFTER MARRIAGE SHE TAKES HER HUSBAND WHO IS JOBLESS

SO NURSES ARE WELL PAID,ON SURVEY GOT 55 POINTS MORE THAN A NEURO SURGEON?

i dont think so.... im not a nurse

The pay is CRAP though...trust me..I'm a Nurse

They look after the pelicans

hmmm itz low o

cares for children (doctor)

Depends on where you are working. I'm getting $75K per annum in the KSA. In Dubai, a well-experienced Civil Engineer earns as much as $100K/year.

yeah this is right................. the worest profession in our country................

yes...mothers are what built the whole world for great people.....not only do they earn love but also the deepest of respect

hahaha, you guys crack me up! so who pays mothers again?

Because you cannot buy love its so valuable.

we cannot add mother's duty as profession.she's giving a best service to her family without any charge.

really!!!!!!!!!!! mother!!!!!!!!!!!!!

money traped on network...

Too many network administrators, pay is coming down ...

surely true.....

wat do u get 2 do

Its the sexiest job that you'll ever dream to have.

It should in number one. This job is interesting i think so.

This job is totally unique.

Write whatever you want to write for what pay

What are you on about? They get paid millions.

This should be 1#

depending on ur country optometrists will practice differently, in some countries optometrists only refract and fit contact lenses---in the US Doctors of Optometry are trained to manage and treat all different kinds of diseases, from binocular vision disorders to glaucoma, to infection/inflammation. Depending on the state you practice in, optometrist may also perform laser eye surgeries. The main difference b/t an ophthalmologist and an optometrist is the education after obtaining a bachelors degree. An ophthalmologist goes to medical school, then does residency, and then maybe a fellowship. An optometrist goes to optometry school, residency/fellowship is optional.

They are Eye Care Professionals but then they are also called Doctors but NOT Surgeons.

it is an eye doctor!

It's not. An opthamologist is an eye doctor. An optometrist deals with vision, it's whom you go to for glasses.

an eye doctor

whats that?

I do to

i hope i can be an interior designer..................................................XD

I want to be one sooooo bad, but how much is the pay? I read it was only 47,000 a year

I love this job

An interior designer could be paid over 300 000$ a year. it depends if you own your company and how many projects you do.

£15,371 - £34,988

how much does that pay-i would be really good at it!:)

does it really pay well?how much are we talking here please?:)x

Thats ma dream...........

But it's hard to become a politician, you have to be a citizen of the country right?

Politicians make the Mafia look like schoolboys. In the 20th Century, the politicians of the world were responsible for killing over 190,000,000 people.

it is true.. they pay for their KARMA too..

come and check indian politicans income and property . you will be suprised with the figure, how much big they earn every month.

THEY should be NUMBER ONE-They live off your money anyways. So what you earn is actually for them to siphon it off you. There is NEVER a poor politician. Within months of joining politics or being elected, they are millionaires. From one election to another, when they declare their (known) assets, the assets have more than doubled. How is it possible on the pay they earn?

the richest politicians are here,in India because they develop everything but their own country and there are some politicians and ministers who are richer than sports players!

They are all theives

Its were all the money goes lol i wil be surprised if its not the most paid job in the world

Truly.............

Singapore has the highest paid. There is a reason why. Check out the GDP in 2010!!!

i agree they deserve it coz they are the leaders of the country

this is really true. they are very corrupted and almost no one likes them.

i think this is the toppest business in all over the world

ya its very correct

id rather it go to them than you know you

hellz yeah!
