Doctors and lawyers are in the top echelon when it comes to pay.
But as a new report from Glassdoor shows, there are plenty of other routes to high earnings that don't involve litigating or blood.
"This report reinforces that high pay continues to be tied to in-demand skills, higher education, and working in jobs that are protected from competition or automation," says Andrew Chamberlain, Glassdoor's chief economist. "This is why we see several jobs within the technology and healthcare industries."
Based on salary reports shared by employees with these jobs on Glassdoor over the past year, here are the 25 high-paying jobs in the US, the current number of job openings, and what these people do:
