2. Correctional Psychologist

Average annual salary: About $85,000

This job requires a Master’s Degree in clinical psychology and federal licenses. Because of the occupational risks the job poses, compensation is much higher than most other jobs. But you won’t be working by your lonesome as a correctional psychologist; you’ll be working with a team of lawyers, caseworkers, and personnel in the correctional facility to help create a safe environment inside the prison. You may also be required to make diagnoses on special case prisoners to be used in court to make decisions on their cases.
