Answer 1

Generally speaking you have to be intelligent to do well (i.e. earn a lot of money) quickly... However even the less academically intelligent can do well with effort.

Your top choices should be:-

A) Doing something high up in the medical world (e.g. Family and General Practitioners, Paediatricians, Surgeons, Anaesthetists, Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, Psychiatrists, General Dentists, Oral Surgeons, Orthodontists, Veterinary Surgeon etc.) = Lots of hard work and some brains required but guaranteed modest wealth results.

B) Doing something in finance and insurance (e.g. Investment bankers, fund managers, insurance brokers, money brokers etc.) = Lots of hard work and brains required and very difficult to get into the best areas... but pays fabulously (good start and huge potential eventually for the most talented - We are talking billionaire level for a lucky few hedge fund managers...)

C) Doing something in law (e.g. Solicitors, Litigation Lawyers, Barristers, Judges, Tax Lawyer etc.) =  Lots of hard work but less brains required... If you're going for barrister job you can earn very well if you go for civil rather than criminal branch of the profession.

D) Doing something in Information Technology (e.g. Systems Administrators, Web Designer, Programmers, Chief Information Officers etc.) = Some hard work to get your technical level up after which you get into "Nerdvana" (c.f. Nirvana) i.e. a place where it is easy to earn modest/large amounts of money for relatively little effort. In fact IT is the equivalent of a white-collar trade akin to blue-collar well paid jobs like plumbing - Once you're out of apprenticeship you earn well.

Others you may want to look at are:-

E) Doing something high up in the airline industry (e.g. Airline-pilots, Co-pilots, and Flight Engineers, Air Traffic Controllers...) = Lots of work and some brains required and very difficult to get into...

F) Doing something in traditional technology (e.g. Engineering managers etc.) = Lots of work and brains required and is a slow burner as it can take a while to work your way up.

G) Doing something in management (e.g. Chief Executives...) = You need tremendous political skills to climb high, but once you've licked enough backsides you can eventually emerge as a well paid executive in your late 30's and a top executive about a decade later...

H) You could also try accountancy or management consultancy = These are well respected professions that can pay well...

I) Advertising?? I hear top advertising executives can do alright too...

J) Finally how about being your own boss i.e. an entrepreneur? Just for fun set up your own company and be the next Sir Alan Sugar - It is easier than you think!

By the way job security is an issue with many well paid jobs but not all of them so think about that aspect too - If you are good at what you do you'll survive...

Answer 2

Why not just go to a few places close to home that employ people and tell them exactly what you have said here. Take the first job you are offered and get as much experience as you can. Then after a while have a look around for something more to your liking. Do not just walk out on the first job as soon as you find another. Leave the door open as the saying goes. Always give the required notice before moving on.  

Answer 3

you want to do a job that you enjoy, as you will get bored with it if you get no satisfaction. You can earn a lot of money in any job if you are passionate about it, but if you just do it for the money then chances are that you will not get the promotions that people passionate about it get.
