The Government's Bureau of Labor Statistics, people who work in the careers below earn above average wages working in fields that require a relatively small amount of training -- from just a few weeks to one year. The hourly wages listed are the median amounts earned in 2006.
Note that "highest paying jobs" does not mean one will become wealthy working these jobs. It means that people working in these fields were paid a higher hourly wage than those working in other fields.
