Looking for high-paying gigs in the finance industry? They aren�t as hard to find as you may think. According to Laurence Shatkin, career information expert and author of the book �250 Best-Paying Jobs,� applying your analytical skills to run the department of a thriving company might be a good option. Shatkin goes on to state that even entry-level jobs can be rewarding in the field of financial sales and analysis.

Most high-paying jobs share two common characteristics: responsibility and the repercussions that come along with making mistakes. Let�s use two of the best-paying jobs in the finance industry as examples: Chief financial officers and financial managers both have average annual earnings of $86,280. Both jobs call for you to administer mission-critical projects and make a lot of important decisions. Slack off on these tasks, you could be out of a job.

If you�ve got what it takes, the following jobs might be right up your alley:

- Actuary - $81,640

- Economist - $73,690

- Financial Services Sales Agent - $67,130

- Management Analyst - $66, 380

- Financial Analyst - $63,860

- Financial Examiner - $63,000

- Market Research Analyst - $57, 300

The amount you actually make with the positions above will obviously vary among geographic niche markets. Just as Los Angeles is home to the entertainment industry and Nashville is renowned for producing musicians, New York City is driven by the financial world, meaning you�re likely to make more money in The Big Apple.

While landing a high-paying gig is extremely important, it isn�t the only thing you should concern yourself with. Aside from the financial rewards, you should consider the tasks you�re being asked to perform and the environment you�re working in. Regardless of how much pay you bring home every week, a job you don�t feel comfortable in might not be worth it.
