To determine what jobs best fit that category and also come with high salaries, personal finance website GoBankingRates.com ranked the top highest-paying jobs using data from Glassdoor's "Companies That Will Pay You to Travel the World" and Business News Daily's "Jobs for People Who Want to Travel" combined with average salaries of each job based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' May 2017 National Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates report.
What's more, the website also compiled the average vacation/PTO for the careers by using data from a Zenefits report from October 2018.
