So do sparkies and other tradies... But to earn the big $$$ you need to gain a good reputation, have experience etc.

Googled it up, turns out in America, most of the big $$$k jobs are med related (not surprising).

some of the ones on there: Podiatrists, Pediatricians, Psychiatrists, Family and general practitioners, Physicians & Surgeons, Internists (yes, its true) -not interns, Obstetricians & Gynecologists, Orthodontists and Oral Surgeons, Anesthetist, CEOs... The highest paid was specialist surgeons.

Surprised actuaries weren't on there

Internists (yes, its true)

Internists aren't interns; they're specialists in internal medicine (I assume that misunderstanding was the reason for that added comment at least ???)

But really, get any stable job (i.e. you should also enjoy it too), borrow money from the bank and learn how to invest.

Though it isn't related to your question, being a judge isn't the most funnest of jobs.

Had 1 week work experience, and some of the proceedings during of the day, I'd rather do maths question than listen to the cases..
About Philosophy

When I see a youth thus engaged,—the study appears to me to be in character, and becoming a man of liberal education, and him who neglects philosophy I regard as an inferior man, who will never aspire to anything great or noble. But if I see him continuing the study in later life, and not leaving off, I should like to beat him - Callicle
