Every year, the employment website Glassdoor compiles salary data from users all over the country. They call this list the Highest Paying Jobs in the U.S. However, they should clarify that these are the Highest Paying Non-Celebrity Jobs in the U.S. No entertainers, media personalities, or professional athletes factor into this data.

That being said, the majority of Americans are not celebrities. But that doesn't mean you can't still have a productive, profitable, and personally satisfying career. If you have college-age kids like I soon will, that's a good message to pass along to them.

I would never try to push my sons into any particular career. They know better than I do what's right for them. On the other hand, it might not hurt to just slip this list under their pillows:
