Hello Elizabeth: Tech and Healthcare jobs dominated the list of highest-paying jobs in America, according to a new report by Glassdoor.
Looking at the top-paying jobs across U.S.-based companies, the job search firm pulled salary reports for job titles from July 1 last year to this year. (The company only counted job titles with more than 100 salary reports.)
“The majority of these jobs are not at risk for being replaced by the addition of automation, and often times automation is helping to assist these roles.” “Many of these roles require a high level of education.”

May I ask, "what are you thinking about as a career"? There are many other jobs that are not on the list that could also lead you toward a great salary. I suggest that you find your passion and what motivates you. It's there - you just need to tap into it. :)
Best of Luck to You!

Hi Elizabeth, I agree with Sheila. The best paid jobs include positions in healthcare and information technology. In addition, data analytics, consulting, finance, engineering, and law are other high paying jobs. I found a great article online from USA Today that lists out the top 25 best paid jobs in the U.S.
