Answers:
Apparantly... CEO and CFO of Microsoft and Sultan of Brunai are jobs that pay very well
the job you have enthusiasm and passion for.the job that brings you internal joy. the job that make people arround you happy and appreciative of your actions/outcome.
I've gotten more out of being a mom than any other job. I suppose you mean like a CEO or something. being a movie or TV star would pay the best, I'd think.

The use of the word 'jobs' skews the answers a bit ... if you open up the question, "entrepreneurs", regardless of job type or description make the most money. Think of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, etc. - they were entrepreneurs starting small companies long before they held any fancy job titles.
However, there is a large risk and failure rate for entrepreneurs. But they tend to love what they're doing.
In terms of satisfaction - whatever you like to do, work hard be the best in your field.
In terms of dollars and cents -
Pro athletes, movie stars, pro coaches, anyone connected with producing entertainment, musicians (some). I worked for three doctors once. The cardiologist made 1.3 mil. The radiologist made 800 thou. the general practitioner made 260,000. Lots of interesting, well paid jobs out there. Find what you like best, then work at it. Best way.
No education = No pay.
Unless you are a celebrity or inherit it .
I love my job. I am a Real Estate agent for a new home builder. It is a lot of fun if you like working with people. There is great potential to make a lot of money. The best part about it is that you don't need a college degree to be an agent!
