America the land where anyone can grow up to be whatever they want to be while some
people may go for the job of their dreams. Others may have more of a financial drive
when picking their career path today we're going to take a look at the highest paying
jobs in the United States and explore if they're actually worth the salary.
Number 10. Prosthodontists 196,000 dollars per year the first on our list prosthodontists
make a staggering 196,000 dollars per year on average not to be confused with
orthodontists. Prosthodontists are trained in replacing and repairing teeth or gums
whether it's through veneers dentures or more extensive surgery. Their job often
includes performing reconstruction surgery after traumatic injuries cancer or neglect. If
you think you'd enjoy giving someone the perfect smile well this may be the career path
for you and if you've never heard of this career that's not surprising with only 380
practicing prosthodontists in the United States. It's safe to say you wouldn't have a lot of
competition if you went to a school for this that is as long as you're willing to get the
certification that takes a whopping 11 years to complete.
Number nine. Internists. 200,000 dollars per year. At 200,000 dollars a year internists
are the next on our list. Of the highest paying careers though the name may make you
think of interns they are certainly far from it after anywhere between 11 to 16 years of
college and training. I can imagine they'd be a little bit upset to be that mislabeled
internists main job is to treat patients without surgery through a combination of
prescriptions and lifestyle changes. They are trained and able to diagnose and treat any
condition in any body part and are primarily used to help patients who have complex
diseases got an achy spleen and a cough pop in to see an internist.
And you'll be back to know in no time number 8. Physicians 205,000 dollars per year.
The broadest career on our list physicians are next with an average salary of 205,000
dollars per year. Physicians roles range across several categories depending on their
specialty. However regardless of their specialty their main role is always the same to
diagnose and treat illnesses a job with a phenomenal outlook. Physicians benefit from
the fact that they're an incredibly necessary career with an immense potential for growth
a four year bachelor's degree followed by four years of medical school and another
three to seven year residency means the journey to becoming a physician is a long one.
But there's certainly a lot of money at the end of the road. Unfortunately being a
physician is also a lot more work than some of the other careers out of a group of
physicians surveyed one quarter responded with working 61 to 80 hours per week on
average. that doesn't exactly leave them with a lot of spare time to spend the money
that they're earning.
Number seven. Family and general practice physicians 236,000 dollars per year.
Earning 236,000 dollars on average per year. it's no wonder why your family doctor
always smiles when they come into the exam room family and general practice.
Physicians work in family doctor offices where they diagnose and treat common
illnesses this often includes sending their patients to specialists for further testing doing
checkups and writing prescriptions for mild illnesses. They're also able to treat patients
of all ages which might just be where the family in their name comes from and like many
careers on this list. You must have eight years of schooling followed by three to eight
year residency just to become a general practitioner.
Number six. Psychiatrists. Two 255,000 dollars per year. Psychiatrists make a shocking
250,000 per year. If you have the floral Shea's lounge chair and phrase how does that
make you feel. bringing in your head right now you may want to keep listening.
psychiatrists main job is to diagnose patients and prescribe medication to treat. their
mental health issues along with this their role is to develop a treatment plan which may
include sending patients to therapy. but they don't administer therapy themselves
depending on their specific area of study. psychiatrists often have 12 years of schooling.
while a lot of psychiatrists report burnout in a recent survey 90% of psychiatrists
reported their job as being rewarding. it's not surprising that helping people who are
struggling would leave you feeling proud at the end of the day.
Number 5. Orthodontists. 270,000 dollars per year. orthodontists sure do make a lot of
money while they keep the Braceface nickname alive for children around the globe.
Specializing in braces teeth alignment and even jaw alignment. orthodontists are more
like doctors for the structure of your teeth and jaw rather than the teeth themselves. if
you're not a fan of school but want to pick a career on the list then being an orthodontist
might be the path for you at just ten years of schooling. this career gives you a chance
to pay off your student debt a bit faster than the others on this list.
Number four. Obstetricians Gynaecologists. 295,000 dollars. And number four we have
Obstetricians and Gynaecologists making 295,000 dollars per year. The backbone of
women's reproductive health OBGYNs are in charge of helping women prepregnancy
during pregnancy birth and post birth from doing annual exams to delivering actual
babies. OBGYNs have had a hand in all of us being here today. Unfortunately for this
profession this career path takes twelve years of education and in a recent study only
62% they enjoyed their job. However the career is always in demand and with that huge
salary I'm sure pushing through the 40-hour workweek would be totally doable.
Number three. Surgeons. Two 298,000 dollars. If you don't mind seeing a little or a lot of
blood then this next job might actually be a fit for you. Surgeons ranked as the third
highest paying job in America at an average of 298,000 dollars per year surgeons.
Often work in a specific study of the medical field but all surgeons are required to go for
the same schooling. After four years to get a bachelor's degree four years of medical
school and a three to ten year residency. You'd think surgeons would be done with
school forever but unfortunately for them that's not the case. Surgeons are required to
take part in near-constant training and assessments to make sure that they're educated
on the latest strategies and discoveries luckily in the time. They don't spend studying or
opening people up I'm sure they can do a lot with that huge salary.
Number two. Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons. 305,000 dollars per year. If you've ever had
your wisdom teeth removed you've got our second highest paying profession to thank
for that procedure. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons make 305,000 dollar a year on
average think that's a lot for just yanking out teeth well they've got a few more jobs on
top of that. These surgeons focus on any surgery in the neck jaw and mouth and that
certainly keeps them busy. If the thought of doing this career grosses you out or sounds
something like no one would want to do know that actual oral surgeons certainly don't
have an issue. A recent survey showed that 74% of oral and maxillofacial surgeons
liked their job and eighty-two percent feel that their job is very meaningful hey having a
meaningful job where you earn two hundred and forty thousand dollars a year I'd say
that doesn't sound too bad.
Number one. Anesthesiologists. 310,000 dollars a year. The top paying job in theUnited
States according to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics is an anesthesiologist.
Anesthesiologists are in charge of making sure patients don't feel pain before during or
after surgery. While putting a mask on someone's face may seem like a simple task in
reality an anesthesiologist is in charge of much more than that prior to surgery. They
meet with the patient to determine the correct mix of medication during surgery and
while the patient is being cut open.
Anesthesiologists are in charge of making sure the patient remains unconscious and
pain-free throughout the length of the operation no pressure right but before aspiring
anesthesiologists can even start their high-stress life-or-death career. They have a
colossal amount of school to go to first a four year bachelor's degree is required.
Followed by a test to get into Medical School once they're in medical school. They've
got Another four years of medical school to further their education. Unfortunately for
them they're not done there next they've got four more years. Working in an anesthesia
residency program until finally they sit for their final exam to get their certification is
going to twelve years of school worth it to be making this much money. It's hard to say
but we can all agree we are thankful that these jobs exist well that concludes our list of
the highest paying jobs in the United States.
What do you think is the schooling worth all the money and would you want to have any
of these careers. let me know in the comment section below if you enjoy the video make
