The highest paid professions in the USA are doctors and top managers

Most of all, doctors and other medical workers earn, noted the recruiting portal CareerBuilder.com , which published a list of twenty -paid professions in the United States. The first eight lines of the rating are occupied by doctors who on average receive more top managers, lawyers, civil aviation pilots and marketers.

Big money is a fee for stress, long years of training and acute competition. It is interesting that medical specialties, despite the high salary, most often do not fall into the lists of "happy" or "good" work.

A study conducted on the basis of statistical data of the US Labor Statistics Bureau showed that surgeons earn the most in the United States. On average, their annual salary is almost 182 thousand dollars. In second place, assistants and colleagues of surgeons , anesthesiologists - they can receive 174.6 thousand dollars every year, reports Washington Profile . Closes the top three of the most well-paid professions, the work of an obstetrician-gynecologist . These experts can count in the USA for a salary of 174.6 thousand dollars a year.

Five more positions also have doctors: a specialist in personal surgery - 169.6 thousand dollars a year, the therapist - 156.8 thousand dollars, a dentist - a dentist - 156.7 thousand dollars a year, an orthodontist - 153.2 thousand dollars, a psychiatrist - 151.4 thousand dollars.

It turned out that representatives of medical professions earn even more of such highly paid specialists as senior managers. In the United States, the average top manager (Chief Executive Officer, CEO) can count on $ 140.9 thousand a year, the production manager receives on average 140.2 pokes of dollars.

Further, the thirteenth and fourteenth places are occupied by pediatricians of 140 thousand dollars and general practitioners - 138 thousand dollars a year. These experts are appreciated by employers above civil aviation pilots who earn 134.9 thousand dollars a year, dentists - 132.7 thousand dollars, podiatatrs (a specialist in foot diseases) - 111.1 thousand dollars.

Doctors bypassed such highly paid specialists as lawyers who, according to statistics, receive an average of 110 thousand dollars a year. The list of the most well -earning professionals of air traffic controllers is closed - 100.4 thousand dollars, managers of computer and information systems - 100.1 thousand dollars, marketing managers - 100 thousand dollars.

But high salaries do not always bring happiness. Rather, on the contrary: a high salary is compensation for a high level of stress, complex and hard work, and long years of training. It is no accident, according to the results of research, during which experts tried to determine the best professions in the United States , the most pleasant were not at all medical.

Doctors did not get into the list of happiest professionals . As the surveys of the inhabitants of Great Britain showed, cosmetologists, flower grows and hairdressers feel best. So the money is still not the main thing.
