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....
