re: What are the highest paying jobs in Louisiana?

Divorce or injury attorney

Any Specialists doctor/surgeon

Dentists

Business owners are about the same as doctors and dentists, but its hidden due to all the writeoffs they have.

Successful insurance agent with longevity

Private investment broker

Real estate broker

Gold digger chick with small a** and big ti*^

Airline captain (lives in louisiana but commutes to his hub every week)

Realestate rental owner (the ones who have the patience to grow into hundreds of rentals and not fu** it up)

General contractor if u get into the big homes and business/commercial construction.

Oil business (various, ie: the ones who actually own the landmen business that have several landmen under them do very well; same for pipeline business owners like a large xray business owner) (longevity there is key)

succesful commercial/realestate banker (executive vp or higher)

The CPA business has lots of earning potential but its hard to get established due to saturation..

But the richest are the ones you excluded in your question... the kids of mega rich business owners who grow it even more when they inherit the business,
(1st generation builds it, 2nd generation grows it, 3rd generation blows it.. usually)
