I believe that it is not wise to choose a position and certainly not a career based upon the pay. You can make a lot of money and still be miserable. Instead, look at your competencies, interests, and values. Your values may be to find the highest paying internship or the highest paying entry level career opportunity or a job that is the highest paying amongst all available to you, but don't forget about your competencies and interests. What are you good at (besides cashing checks)? What do you like to do (besides cashing checks)?
