Hello,
This is a very practical n great question.
Let me tell you frankly that it doesn't only depend on the sector where you are working. Your salary depends on your contribution in the company that you work in.
It also depends on the circumstances in which you are working. After covid-19 many companies are crumbling they are not able to pay their regular employees. Many employees are working online or they are forced to work online. Many company reduces the salary after offering them to work online.
But there are two sectors where you will get higher salaries if you can contribute more and more
By I want a job , you mean that you want to earn money to lead a happy life. The highest paid jobs 2020 are as follows:
Startups in any a field if done with vision and constant work consistency fetch more money.
Selecting a Career Based on Highest Paying Jobs has been a regular practice for many Student and Parents. But Let me tell you the Reality. At the time of Selecting the Career and Start Graduation there may be some career in demand. Till the time you become graduate this may not be true.
So rather then looking for what is currently prevailing, think about what is future. I was referring the Future Job Report 2020 published by World Economic Forum and found some interesting statistics. The report is 163 page long, however I have picked up what is relevant for you to understand.
The report have declared some of the Emerging Career Options, which you may consider for your child. Here is the list.
Again these are not high paid jobs. There are rewarding careers. The single definition to understand that you will be highly paid or not, is Your "Competency".
The Higher the Competency, The Higher the Demand, The Higher the Demand Higher the Pay.
So decide what you are good at where you can develop the unmatched competency, Love what you do and Like where you go to work. Do Not select a Career Where You Inherent Quality is not matching.
Let me give you an Example, A Person with Very less convincing power, become Sales and Marketing Manager. Ofcourse the Results will not be as good as the person who can communciate properly and convinse other. So, that person's chances to get promoted, selected and getting higher pay is only depends on luck.
Do not leave your Career Aspiration on Luck. Take action and do whatever you are good at.
Following are highest payed jobs in 2020
Data science

Investment Banker
