$ - Symbol of slavery... an "S" with 2 nails through it. I'd rather have more free time and earn less money, money is important since its the only tool for survival in our society... but living within your means is key.
Exactly. What good is $200k/yr if you're not passionate about what you do, or if it leaves you angry and stressed at the end of the day? There's nothing worse than hating your job. That feeling of dreading going into work every morning is not worth any amount of money in the world, unless you've become that big of a slave to the dollar. Like the old saying goes, "find a job you love, and you'll never have to work a day in your life".
Moreover, wtf is the matter with Armenians? When did we become so obsessed with money and material possessions? For a culture that is so tied to it's Christian faith, it's amazing that the main concern for so many Armenians seems to be making sure they get into a career that makes a fortune. It doesn't matter if you LIKE the profession, or not. All that matters is the bottom line. How big will my checks be each week? Oh, and then don't forget that you are apparently obligated to flaunt the fact that you make a fortune by driving Beamers and Mercedes. Did all you good, faithful Christians forget you're going to Hell for putting such importance on worldly possessions?
There isn't the "best" or "highest paying" job. There's only the right job and what you love to do. Everything else is secondary; do you want to be a plumber? You can make $200,000 a year but do you want to become one? Do you want to be a painter? You can make millions of dollars or die hungry in a broken home.

This thread is meaningless. It's the same thing as using Google to find the "highest paying jobs." There is no set limit for some jobs. As Azad said, a barber can make $200 cash but make nothing but $20 on another day.
Consider a film director's career: He can work on an indepdent feature film and get $10,000 over the course of 2-3 months. With a sudden turn of events, he can bumped up to direct a Hollywood feature and negotiate a $1 million contract on his first project.

The average pay for "spell checking" is between $12.00 to $15.00 per hour ... you will be laid-off once year. That will get you places.
A barber could easily make over $200.00 cash per day in a small town. A plumber (start your won) could average over $100.000 a year, if you have some business sense.
Yeah, plumbers, electritians, and general repairmen actually make a lot more than most people think. Get a skill like that if you want to make a good amount of money in a fairly secure job.
