If you’re in it for the money, the only field that really pays off is (taking) government benefits. It requires no upfront investment of time or money (read: college and student loans), no hard work other than filling out forms and a lot of waiting around, and no overtime. Job security is almost assured, there are no issues with being frum, and best of all- you have no responsibilites, so you can ethically spend your entire day in the CR.
Your employer will pay your housing costs, food costs, medical insurance (including dental and vision), a cell phone (often a landline phone as well), your heating/cooling bill, and some petty cash. Plus, instead of paying taxes on your pay, you actually get to claim negative amounts on your tax return and collect money (your employer will pay someone to fill out your tax forms for you, too)! It’s almost like being a partner in the IRS, except without any training or work 🙂
