High Paying Job

This graphic hit my Facebook news feed today:

"Highest Occupational Wages in Illinois"

Wonder what a similar list for a different state looks like?  New York.  Or California.  Same general order maybe, just significantly larger $$$ numbers?

The obvious ones are obviously on here:

Surgeons

Orthodontists

Attorneys

Pharmacists

Judges

I was surprised by some of the ordering though.

Airline pilots at #20?  I would have expected higher.

Air Traffic Controllers higher than Chief Executives??  HUH??

Optometrist at 24, but where are opthamologists?   Maybe lumped in with #7?

Some of the dollar amounts are curiosities too.  Like the $25k difference between dentist and orthodontist.  And OBGYN's at $179k.... the highest medical profession, other than surgeons. Wow.

One other thing.... #22 "Natural Science Manager".... what is that?

Out for now....
