    i have seen USA lists that say Surgeons, Air Traffic controllers etc. Im 23 and stuck in a dead end job. think its time to get the finger out.

    Every job ive dreamed of has gone t1ts up. for example,
    Pilot - My eyesight went outside of the required boundaries. -4.75ish now.
    Singer - Contracted RRP, a disease on the vocal chords and lost the high end of my voice. Studied Music for 3 years for nothing.
    DJ - Same as above. Not a good idea when i have no idea when it might strike again and il lose my voice.

    Id love to become a property developer. BUT i no if i buy a house with the intention to do it up. My parents will want me out of theres!

    SO. Looks like il have to bite the bullet and go and studying something else. AS i have run out of ideas id like a list of profesions that are high paying. Nothing medical though.

    the voice isnt the onyl instrument- have you thought abour teaching or music therapy?

    Do what you love and the money will follow.

    Im certain thats true- Im just building up the confidence and the money to be able to start out on my little lonesome :D
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    All the careers i would enjoy were listed. Cant do them now for various reasons.

    Therefore i may as well look for a job thats high paying. I rather get a list of what the highest paying jobs are work down it until i find something i like

    Money isn't everything. If you go into a profession just for the money, you are setting yourself up for a very unhappy career.

    Have to second that. Just like in life in general, something as transient as money can only bring limited happiness. Money isn't the key to your happiness; merely a tool for physical comfort.
