Hi Skylar,
Currently, an Anesthesiologist is recognized as the highest paid profession at an average salary of $261,730.00. However, there are many people who make more than that in a wide range of fields. Salary is only one thing to consider when looking at a potential career, but there are many other factors that can be just as important. I have a good friend who had a job as a very high paid lawyer. He made a great deal of money and outwardly seemed very successful, but there was one little problem. Once he graduated and started actually practicing Law he realized too late that he hated it. He hated the hours, the stress, and the irritating lengthy and irrational legal processes, and more. Eventually, he left the firm he worked for and got a job as an HR director for a well respected local company and has never been happier. He loves the work he does and the meaningful impact he is having on the company and the people in it. He wisely advised me to do much more research before launching into a career - especially one that requires a great deal of time and expense (like Law). The following questions may particularly insightful as you do the same:
1. What are my interests?
2. What are my skills?
3. What are my talents and strengths?
4. What is my personality?
5. What are my values?
6. What education or training do I need?
7. Are there jobs available in this career?
8. How much money do I want/need to make?
9. Where do I want to live?
10. Why do I want to pursue this career?
Good luck to you!

The best paying job is easy - When you find a position that you absolutely love, Early to work, no watching watch, late sometimes - The best paying job truely is priceless. Other jobs to do while you are looking: air traffic controller or my favorite - education requirements - HS or GED, You know the security cop looking guy in the courtroom, really does nothing but makes sure people behave - not a police officer, not requirements - $250,000 is an average salary for that job - I reafd that in a job comparison magizine.

I wonder what is your motivation behind the question. There is no golden rule or a golden answer. A doctor can earn very very low to $1M+, same with any other profession. If you are looking for a career with security, healthcare is a safe domain, as people will get sick and need doctors / nurses, irrespective of the economy. If you are keen on a finance career, the salary range is again very very wide. I think you should pursue a field where you have passion for - then you will excel in it sooner or later.

You know no one can answer your question; depends on a couple of things:
How high do you want to go in education (determines what positions you qualify for)
This is crazy, I actually heard your question answered the other day, ironic. What is the highest paying job NOT requiring a degree
What work or job have you heard about that sounds fun, you would not mind doing for 10+ years. Band is that answer but NO
Jump into whatever your doing - give it a good go and walk if it didn't work out and You felt like you gave it your best.
True story regarding your question - COURT SECURITY GUARD. - I heard over $200,000 annually - there you go...
