Which of these professions would earn me more?

Question

rank them, from highest paid first:

nuclear engineer

aeronautical engineer

lawyer

economist (whatever you call them)

Answer 1

Lawyer, if you go to a good school.

Engineer(either), if you manage to get a high level management job.

Economist, if you manage to get tenure.

Answer 2

I would think in the order you have them listed, engineers are always in need, we have way to many lawyers already and the economy sucks so I dont see economists doing that great at the moment.
