It’s not surprising that many excellent six-figure careers are in the medical field but there are a few that aren’t. Of course, it is unlikely to start with a six-figure career in an entry-level job. So, in a time where most people face years of stagnant wages, it can leave you wondering what to do. Fortunately, there are some top-paying careers where you can earn six figures relatively rapidly but they usually require several extra years of education. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the top 10 Highest Paying careers are all in the medical field. Here are a few of them (not in any particular order).

As we all know, dentists are responsible for helping patients with the health of their mouth, teeth, and gums.

It is difficult to get into school, but the long career awaiting you is worth your time. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Dentists earn an average of $164,010 per year. About 5,000 openings for dentists are projected each year, on average, over the next decade.
