25 best paying jobs

quote:
Health care jobs continue to be the highest-paying jobs in the country, according to the latest ranking from U.S. News & World Report.

Anesthesiologists are the top-paid workers in the U.S. and make a mean salary of $267,020 per year, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, compiled by U.S. News. Surgeons and oral surgeons round out the top three jobs with the highest earning power, and jobs in health care take the top 10 spots overall.

Now that's a mean salary.

Don't neurosurgeons make 3x as much as a gas passer?

I'm sure it depends on how you divide up the specialties; guessing neurosurgeons got lumped in with other surgeons. They might well earn more than anesthesiologists if you separate them into their own category.

I was struck by how many health care jobs were on the list.

Are they comparing just nominal annual salary or something a bit more sophisticated like salary minus malpractice insurance premiums?

I wonder if it is too late for me to change careers.
