[Forbes] Some of America's best and worst paying jobs

I found this on the internet and i thought it's (at least a bit) interesting to know some of the best and worst paid jobs in the USA.

Best paid jobs:

LawyersRepresent clients in criminal and civil litigation and other legal proceedings, draw up legal documents, and manage or advise clients on legal transactions. The total annual rewarding is $113,660.

Air Traffic ControllersControl air traffic on and within vicinity of airport and movement of air traffic between altitude sectors and control centers according to established procedures and policies.The total annual rewarding is $110,270.

Worst paid jobs:

Cooks, fast foodPrepare and cook food in a fast food restaurant with a limited menu. The total annual rewarding $15,960.

Counter attendants, cafeteria, food concession, and coffee shop - Serve food to diners at counter or from a steam table. The total rewarding is $16,950.

Does any of these jobs interest you? Only one of them has my attention - Lawyer. We all know it's hard fo find a job as a lawyer, but it seems cool (H). 
This article let me see how unfair things are, I mean some of the worst paid jobs are jobs that make you work a lot and then the rewarding is something so insignificant...

Actually, considering the best paid jobs, I'm with you. Lawyer is by far the best. I say it because air traffic control and engineering never attracted me, and well... I just hate dentists. :)

I also agree with what you say about the worst paid jobs. It's really not a fair or encouraging perspective.

Good work, Vítor ^.^

Great post, in my opinion!
It can be a great help to some people that don't know what job they want to do in the future.
