Your stats are wrong. Some frustated techie from India has written this articel. The top 10 highest paid jobs according to usnews are: 1. Anesthesiologists $232,830 2. Surgeons $230,540 3. Obstetricians and Gynecologists $216,760 4. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons $216,440 5. Internists, General $191,520 6. Orthodontists $186,320 7. Physicians and Surgeons, All Other $184,820 8. Family and General Practitioners $180,850 9. Psychiatrists $177,520 10. Chief Executives $176,840 That's perhaps unsurprising—everyone knows doctors are handsomely compensated—but what is striking is the extent to which medical occupations dominate the top of the wage ladder. You can still make a decent living even if you are not a doctor, as the list below of 10 top-paying non-medical professions shows
The top 10 highest paid non medical jobs are 1. Chief Executives $176,840 2. Petroleum Engineers $147,470 3. Architectural and Engineering Managers $133,240 4. Lawyers $130,880 5. Natural Sciences Managers $130,400 6. Marketing Managers $129,870 7. Computer and Information Systems Managers $129,130 8. Airline Pilots, Copilots, and Flight Engineers $128,760 9. Financial Managers $123,260 10. Sales Managers $119,980
But an average computer engineer makes $55,000 only and Indian software engineers are paid still less around $40,000 yearly.
