I should have been clearer. You have to get into a field in which you can leverage your talents and your work-ethic. You can make a lot more money in a competitive sales environment than you ever could as a scientist (assuming that you can't write a wildly successful popular-level book about your field).

1. Surgeons
$65.89/hr
$137,050/yr

Hmmm... I find that hard to believe. I know surgeons in the million dollar a year range. While not all of them make that much, none that I know of make less than two or three hundred thousand unless they are working for a volunteer organization or such or the army.
