What is the best paid job right now?

<p>actually to all those who said IB, you are wrong. Most IB people don't make a very large salary, some just 50K a year. But when you add on bonuses, which are not included in salary, your take home income gets high.</p>

<p>zzyanzhichao, 4 hours a night of sleep is alot. I rarly even get that and I only work 15 hours a week.</p>

<p>I always laugh when people say they need 8-10 hours of sleep. Nobody needs that much. Ive gone an entire week with only getting 5 hours of sleep. But I hate sleeping.</p>

<p>Not this year. Bonus takes a nose dive. You work 80-100 hours for almost nothing/hour.</p>

<p>^what do you mean?</p>

<p>Seeing as how stocks and investment banks aren't doing very well this year, that would shrink bonuses just a little.</p>

I heard about Da Vinci Sleep method that says a person only need to sleep 1.5 hours per day, but obviously not so many people will try that.</p>

<p>Pro athletes have very short careers compared to every other occupation. Plus, they're one injury away from becoming useless. </p>

<p>Plus, you're only thinking about the top athletes. The average professional athlete doesn't make millions per year.</p>
