These Are the Top 25 Highest Paying Jobs in the U.S. Right Now

If you assumed that the most lucrative careers right now were in the healthcare, tech, finance, and legal fields, you are absolutely right. In a new study, Glassdoor compiled salary data from the past year to identify jobs with the highest base salaries, and their findings aren’t exactly surprising.

To create the list, Glassdoor collected user-submitted salary information, grouped jobs with synonymous titles together under one label, and analyzed its findings using an algorithm that factored in variables like location and seniority.

With a median base salary of $193,415, physicians are (unsurprisingly) the top earners—beating out the runners-up, pharmacy managers, by nearly $50,000 (which, on its own, is just under the median U.S. base salary of $53,950). Dentists and pharmacists round out the top four slots, and then the list becomes overwhelmingly tech-heavy with a smattering of finance and legal positions.

The unifying theme among all the jobs is a high level of skill, gained through years of advanced education, experience, or both. And as companies try to adapt their business models to the digital landscape, people who can understand and interpret data are a hot commodity, as evidenced by position titles like data architect, data scientist, and analytics manager.

Whether you’re deep in the throes of your own job search or you’re just curious to see how your current position measures up against others, scroll on for the full list of America’s highest-paid workers.
