Money, which isn't actually real but is generally required to subsist in this cruel and unusual existence, remains a source of contention for both those without it and those practically drowning in the stuff. Misguided career advice aside, what's the best job-related path to proper stacks of cash?

The newest edition of the Glassdoor-crafted list of the Best Jobs in America says that data scientists are currently flexing in terms of money and general happiness, Mashable reports.
