The highest paying careers are as follow:
1. Investment banker - straight out of undergrad you can expect to retire at 30 a millionaire many times over. The only problem is your shelf life is very short (5 years average) because the job is very demanding. If you're determined to make money this is the job.
2. Attorney - after 3 years of law school you can expect to make a decent living until the day you are no longer able to articulate your thoughts.
3. Doctor - this also makes a lot of money if you're a specialist, but when you factor in med school, internship, fellowship, and other training, you'll be close to 40 before you'll start seeing any real money.
4. Professional white collar jobs - engineers, accountants, computer programmers, etc., you don't make quite as much but you still make a decent living. Plus potential for advancement into management.
All jobs come with its own hardship so pick wisely. The best thing to do now is to get straight A, load up your classes as much as possible, ace the SAT, load up on extracurricular activities, and get into as good a college as possible.
