Correction: An earlier version of this article referred to the Glassdoor.com’s list as “The 25 Highest Paid Jobs In America” when in fact the list is “The 25 Best Jobs in America for 2015”. Metro regrets the error.
What the list does not take into account is the amount of education one needs for these careers. Earning an advanced specialized degree takes time and money, and for some the tradeoff might not be worth it.
