Pay is only a part of it.  Both fields will offer a good living.  The real question is:  What do you like doing that will make you happy in the 40+ hours a week you will be working the rest of your life?\n\nSue

Nurses that I have talked to here in USA find it the most wanted job skill at the present time, and well paid.  They are all suggesting that if they had to do it over they would specialize...radiology,  trauma, office management, etc. as dealing with a bunch of females, and a few men, all day, who argue over time off and holidays, is a pain. Pain management is another good field! good luck.

The best degree, maybe a PhD?  I think you meant: what field should I get a degree in.  That's a toughy, I would think medicine is a good field.

If you want a bigger paycheck, go to college. Most well-paying jobs in the world today require some sort of college education or degree.

I love my job (in marketing), get paid very well (considerably more than the national average) and have very good benefits as well.\n\nFor an overview of US national salaries, take a look here:\nhttp://www.jobweb.com/SalaryInfo/\n\nHope this helps!

I agree with hyperdrug17.  The money is good, and it is a very cool field, with advancement in CT, MRI, Pet/CT, Nuc, Ultrasound, well you get the picture.

the headhunter already knows what your worth anyway, just by looking at your resume:)  good luck....most look to see what area your working in too....This is a very big deal.....My husband lives up here in Ohio and works in Florida because of this reason, higher paying jobs are obsolete in this town!

All of the above answers are good suggestions, but keep in mind that they only pay well if you're good at them!  And almost any field you might want to go into can pay well if you're good enough at it.  I assure you you'll be much happier if you pick a career based on what you want to do rather than how much money you make.\n\nOne thing that hasn't let been mentioned is just about anything that involves consulting to larger corporations tends to pay quite well.  So for example, advertising, corporate law, accounting, computer-related stuff, etc.\n\nLooking at your previous posts, I gather you want something in the sciences.  Given that, I'd recommend medicine (I think surgery tends to be the highest paying specialty), or maybe engineering.  If you're more interested in research, I think people near the top of pharmaseutical companies do quite well.  And for a real money-maker in chemistry, there's always the basement meth lab (that one's a joke).\n\nBut you're what, a junior in high school?  You don't have to know what you want to do with your life yet!

Hard to find info in a hurry, but I would try talking to the big names in the industry. I included a link in the source, maybe that will work for you.  There are other jobs out there though to make a few bucks.

My friend has been in that field since last 8 years. She is an editor in the Medical tras=nscription. \nShe is doing good earning as well

Without question, the highest paying profession with potentially the least amount of formal education is sales.  Sales careers have created the highest number of self-made millionaires in this country.    \n\nIf you can sell ice to eskimos, and are only willing to commit a limited amount of time to schooling, I would suggest the med tech A.S.  Then, start applying for pharmaceutical sales positions. \n\nMany pharma reps make in excess of 100k per year.  \n\nGo get 'em tiger!

Civil engineering usually pays the least, but is the easiest program and jobs are relatively easy to find once you've got the right certifications and licenses. \n\nMechanical engineering is reasonably well paid and is the most versatile degree, with a wide variety of jobs available.  If you know you like engineering but aren't sure what industry you want to be in, an ME degree will leave the most doors open for you.\n\nElectrical engineering is typically the most math-intensive, but usually offers some of the best paid jobs.\n\nChemical engineering also pays very well, but most jobs are in the petroleum or industrial chemical industries.\n\nMaterial Science engineering is a newer field, but some specializations within it can do very well.\n\nAll in all, you can go further with an engineering degree than just about anything else, even in business or legal fields.  Make sure though that you learn good writing and presentation skills, as these are what will set you apart from other very smart engineers.

If you mean which one has higher salary packages, I would say Finance people are typically paid more out of business school. Growth prospects... totally dependent on where in finance or marketing one wants to go.

Well the city that pays the most probably has the highest cost of living, so that might not be your best search criteria. For pay rates, check the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook at:\nhttp://www.bls.gov/oco/
