NEUROSURGEONS CAN SAVE THE WORLD

A dded 5 months ago by guest, 25 points
how much do they get paid?

Neurosurgeons are not worth the money, because there is not exactly a shortage of human beings on the planet.The reality is, life is cheap in most of the world. Therefore fixing faulty brains is a worthless exercise, they are often badly damaged afterwards anyway.

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 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

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.

too much stress
A dded 2 y ears ago by guest, 1 point
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

computer engineers
435 points - added 4 years ago by guest - 38 comments
Comments: 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.
Boring! Weren't computers meant to replace the need for paper in the office? My work is made a pain in the ass by poor IT and poorly made software!
So since computer engineering is 2nd while electrical engineering is 17th.....what's the ranking of a telecom engineering that contist of the two engineering fields?and who earns more ?
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
thats good
true

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 Hel (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
A dded 1 y ear ago by colonn9, -1 points
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.
A dded 2 y ears ago by guest, -5 points I think this is the most difficult job in the world because actually related with A .I A dded 2 y ears ago by guest, -10 points
then y do i got under paid?? ;(

Interesting. Perhaps some research is in order...

Its not even close to the any most payed.. srsly most of Computer engineers have to work loong hours in front of a pc and ok although their salary is not extremely low.. its not high enough either for the kind of stress they go through..
lies im a networking engineer 30,000 a year and highly stressfull

No i don't think that computer enginerr is earning top2 earnings in the world

Running big corporations is definitely not an easy job. For all the Herculean effort they put in to keep the company profits coming in, the CEOs do deserve the pay pack they get to take home.
Comments: 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

Lawyers
How can these people not be present in the top five places!! With crimes, divorce rates, corporate frauds all pointing northwards, they are in demand in every sector.
Comments: 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

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.

Airline pilots
Comments: 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 [email protected] 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!!!!

Carlos Tevez earns 250,000 a month, richest guy in the world nearly.

Comments: 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

If he eventually gets hurt in a way that he wont have legs, then his cash is gone!!!!
this would be number one wouldn't it cuz they are always flashy and got loads of cash to spare!

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.
A dded 2 y ears ago by Uv ash, 0 points
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.
A dded 2 y ears ago by Uv ash, -3 points
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!

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.

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.

My teacher is one :)
i am about to become an accountant very sooon.... hope to get a hiegly paying job .......
i likey the accountants in the big hotel in fairyland

I really wanna be a CA and still deciding on which subjects to take in order to be a CA

Being an accountant is my dream job I love doing math

we rule this world

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 !!!

Comments:
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 dont 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.

Physiotherapists
you earn tones of money
Comments: 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

Not in Indonesia...

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

Anesthesiologists
The people in this profession make more money than people can imagine by just putting others to sleep, literally. With the number of ailments on the increase, there can never be a moment of rest for them.
Comments: 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.

Air Traffic Controllers

Comments: 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 (Contrleur Arien 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

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.

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

Comments: 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.

nurses
nurses r in demand in every country..... without nurses doctors r handicapped.... nurses r so less in supply and high in demand so naturally itz got to be on top.........
Comments: 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

Politicians
Once elected to a powerful post they earn more than any professional on earth- illegally that is. Abuse of power. Power corrupts Absolute Power corrupts absolutely
Comments: 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.

Comments: this is a load of poo

but just think of all those struggling artists that try and try for years and never sell anything and when they finaly do make some money off it they are dead. its very hard to be an artist of any kind, its basically one in a million who actually make anything off of their work.

Optometrist
Comments: 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?

Crab Fisherman
Although it is one the most dangerous jobs in the world crab fishermen make a lot of money for the crabs that they deliver. With Japan and the USA as their top exporters they can never stop making too much money!
Comments: fish are cool

it pays well but only wen you work , which is nt alot , its dangerous as well
true the money is good, but crab fishermen have a job only a few weeks in a year as governments have banned crab hunting during rest of the year so that the crabs can reproduce. P.s - saw it on discovery...
my dad is a crab fisherman and we have to re mortgage our house just to live. so no this should not be on this list
lol!!! when all the crab is gone...

they can when all the crab is gone..

Comments: Hahaha orthodontists are dentists with post graduate studies for more 3 years.. like 5 for general dentist + 3 specialization they get an average 1500$ for each case they treat
whatever happenened to astronauts?

They do much more then put braces on peoples teeth

A dded 1 y ear ago by Brad Browne, 8 points
Guies, an orthodontist is someone who puts braces on peoples teeth, not a pilot...
whats the work of an orthodontist?

In relation to the pilot comment, actually KLM pay up to 215,000 a year and Ive heard that Emirates pilots get like 160,000 of their salary tax free.
I know an average orthodontist who makes 650,000 a year

An average orthodontist in usa earn around 166,000$ and if you are really good then you can make around 300-400,000$
Can someone please use dollars?

lol 200,000 a year, tell me what planet this is on so I can transfer!! In the Uk, top paid is 100,000, and that's with British airways, with 20+ years experience and on long haul .... you see your family 2 days a fourth night.
cant this be higher than airline pilot they can earn over 200,000 per annum
