how to get a good paying job

It's great that you're looking into getting a great job. A great job doesn't necessarily just provide you with great pay, but if you are doing something you're excited and passionate about, it will be fun to do, and if you enjoy it, you'll definitely get compensated in more than just pay. Find out what you're interested in doing or reading about and it'll be a great start in finding your passion. You may not find it right away, or make the connection as to how it can be a career, but it will definitely pay off in the long run. I might be biased, but flying planes and getting paid for it can be a great job if it's something you're interested in.
