21. Kansas
Annual median wage: $193,530

Otherwise known as “America’s Breadbasket,” Kansas is also known for its unbelievably low cost of living expenses. Its main industry is agriculture, thus the nickname, but also has strong energy and aerospace industries. The wages they offer don’t usually go past the average, given its nature of being a cheap state to live in; but psychiatrists get to enjoy higher wages than most of America. Forests and mountains also come plenty in Kansas, which means adventure and fun for those who love the outdoors.
