If you wonder whether you're over- or underpaid at your job, here's one place to start. Reddit user Dan Lin has created one (very long) chart that shows 820 US occupations and how much they pay. Jobs are color-coded by their industry — a few high-paying health care (fuchsia) jobs are clustered at the top, while food service jobs (green) tend to be toward the bottom. Check it out below, or click on the image for a version where you can zoom in.
