Answer 2

Let's see...

1. Principal manager of a large hedge fund.

2. CEO of a multi-billion-dollar company.

3. Professional athlete playing for a big league team.

4. Head coach of a big league professional team.

5. Head coach of a Division I-A college team.

The problem, of course, is that those jobs are few and far between.  Take a look at number 5, for example; 35% of Division I-A head coaches earned $1 million or more in 2006 (the average Division I-A head coach earned $950,000), but there were only 119 Division I-A head coaches in the entire U.S.
