| | High Paying Jobs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Prepare your children for a rewarding career We find that some of the very best jobs are those of engineering and science. These jobs not only pay well, but are very interesting. Scientists and engineers get to discover new things regularly (although the discovery may seem very small and might mean nothing to anybody else). But the thrill of new findings and experiences are priceless. You will never get bored, and there are constant challenges for you to take up. Whether you design a circuit, build a micro-machine, or create a new type of drug/medicine, the sky is the limit. Good math and science skills build a solid foundation for future success in your career. The following is based on 2007 US job data
