Highest Paying Careers | Doctor vs Programmer vs Entrepreneur
I recently received a message from a viewer pointing out that I always say medicine isn't a good career if you're optimizing for money, but I never discuss what those other career options are. Well, let's change that.
In this video, we'll cover the careers with the highest salaries including medicine, computer science, engineering, law, finance, and entrepreneurship. In addition to looking at salary, we will also consider other factors such as income potential, probability, opportunity cost, and lifestyle to help you determine if it might be a good fit for you.
If money is your number one priority in a career, this video is for you.

Even though money shouldn’t be your first thing you’re worried about in medicine but things like this is helpful to know where you should spend your time and resources 🙏🏽
Huge respect man to you for creating the KZread channel with an intention to help the future doctors. Seriously this journey itself is long and gruelling added to that wrong piece of advice or information is just gonna hurt even bad. Thank you for bringing good quality information available to us.
you've become such a great content creator. med school insiders with the strictly educational videos, and this channel with a little bit of everything, and its also very fun. its also very respectable that you arent exposing yourself as an individual and you are keeping a very good distance of sort from your very personal life but still making us know you at a level that is needed to create a fanbase of sorts. good job, keep up the amazing work.
Among the most thorough income breakdown videos I’ve seen. For me, it’s between medicine and technology.
A reaiiy check on the legal profession. I graduated from law school in 1996 with 140 thousand dollars in student loans. It took me 12 years to finally get a job that remotely used my legal training. Also, I got a Master's degree in a business related field which led to this job. My law school was absolutely useless in terms of getting full time employment. Also, survey after survey shows that most lawyers do not want want their kids to become lawyers. There is also an epidemic of substance abuse, and depression in the field. I finally paid off my student loans so there is that bright spot. The best book on the legal profession is "Soft Skills for Effective Lawyers" Cambridge University Press, 2015 by Randall Kiser. Kiser runs a legal consulting firm in Palo Alto and has taught at top law schools in CA.

Hell yea, reality checks are important. Pharmacy students don't realize that the market is so oversaturatee, most of them will struggle to find fulltime jobs. If you check the US news rankings, pharmacy is the only career where the future number of jobs are negative (scaled back)

Yea man huge respect. you're clear, direct and assertive. I aspire to be an entrepreneur like you! Keep up the great videos - from Australia
Love these financial videos, keep them coming please!
I'm applying to college this summer and I really needed this video. Thank you so much!
Great video as always man! Loved the comparisons.
Fire service in the bay area pays well too. If you get in young, I would suggest to work your tail off the first couple of years and save. You can easily make up to 200k or more, although you dont start off at that (steps in pay). If and when you decide to promote you can keep building from there. Sky is the limit. You can work a lot or your regular shifts depending on your needs/wants. The caveat to that is if you're mandated to work, then you have no choice but to work. You can also take classes and get certified in different parts of the job (hazmat,rescue, wildland,search and rescue,etc) to help increase your pay as well. Also if you like to camp, you can go out on wildfires, or if there is a big disaster where search and rescue teams are deployed, there's opportunities there as well..like I said, sky is the limit.
Thanks for this. It helps as I plan on school for my MS in Genetics Counseling.
I gotta be honest with you about engineering, it takes much more time. I am transitioning from electrical engineering to pre Med, and my engineering classes have taken an order of magnitude more time. Engineers typically don’t care about what you know, but instead care about what you have built. The process of going from ideas to products is pretty grueling. Whereas memorizing requires more consistency than anything else.

You can try a MBBS from India. It's great option.
Why didn't you mention PhDs? Most modern improvements in healthcare are derived from the work of individuals who hold a PhD. Scientists are the reason we are able to develop new medications, increase the precision of imaging tools, and even understand nuanced pathological conditions. Essentially every decision a physician makes (assuming they practice evidence-based medicine) is based on the work done by scientists (i.e., MD-PhDs, DO-PhDs, or PhDs). PhDs in the biomedical sciences make a great living and have a good work-life balance. And if you go into industry (e.g., medical science liaison), then the compensation increases significantly. Plus, tuition is covered by most PhDs programs, and they provide students with a stipend to prevent them from having to take out loans. Furthermore, many PhDs are also entrepreneurs who make passive income. Seems very odd that you left it out considering how indispensable PhDs are in our society. Also, most of the top earning computer scientists and engineers likely hold a PhD in their respective field...
Dr. Jubbal, your videos are always very deep analyses and very well presented. Would you mind make another video about what to do for ---high school teens who want to be doctors? What Classes or extracurricular activities should those kids do?
Great video, love the background too!

CPA in America, once you worked top 4 for a couple years and get recruited elsewhere you can make 200K.
I think going to uni and gaining a bit of wisdom and experience first before entrepreneurship is a more sound plan.
Being influencer is the best thing and the most paid between all of these professionals
i agree, i have a buddy that self taught programming.. started out low, now he's a VP in digital MRKETING BASE SALARY 250K no degree...

Great video. Dentistry is interesting; not a great average income compared to MD, but no income ceiling. Some make 7 figures (rare but possible), most probably make under 200. Also just realized I used to have that same schecter stiletto custom4 bass lol.

So even in USA 7000$ is the most? What if you own practice ?
You forgot IT Without experience you can start at $50k with a+ certification
For sure, Med is not the good field if you only want money

It’s quite litterally the best and safest feild. Your debt is half of your salary, and top 1% of medical students make $4 million
Do you still spend the majority of your time practicing? Really fair assessment by the way!
Kevin. You've seen me in your comment section a few times. Do you recognize me in the comments when you see me now? XD What do you know about me? You know I like medicine right. Beautiful observation!
What about being an actuary 😁
This is not computer science programming this CSE 💥computer science and Engineering
Man, but can you still be an entrepreneur based on your experience of computer science or as a computer scientist
I wanna do medicine but I would love to do something non traditional. Maybe I would consider being a medicine professor.
I am a software dev with no degree… and really thinking about finishing my bachelors and applying to med school 😅

@@ahmadshafiqzia2087this is late. But in these times, so many careers are terrible. My engineering buddies, computer science, business, etc. are applying to jobs with 70-3,000+ applicants and they’re hiring people across the country for less or even outside of the country to Asia. And other companies are refusing to get new employees as they just want to get high returns
Tech is probably the best
Dentistry?????
What about Pharmacy ?
