30. Geophysicist - $183,703

It's very unlikely that the average person could even explain what a geophysicist does, let alone what they'd expect them to earn. It's a word we've all seen before, and we know it has something to do with science and rocks, but that's about all most people know. Geophysicists do indeed study rocks, but that's only part of their occupation. They play a vital role in combating pollution, and predicting earthquakes and other seismic events.

Understanding the chemical composition of the planet we live on gives us vital clues about not only its history but its future. If we know what conditions inside a volcano look like just before it erupts, for example, we can predict that eruption and move people to safety. That's why geophysics is so important! As you might expect with a scientific role, you'll need a master's degree to reach the top 10% in this industry, and excellent literary skills to both read and create scientific papers.

Did You Know...

Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.

So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.

Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
