Working in radiology is one of the best paying jobs in all of Canada, according to a recent analysis from University Magazine.

The specialty was ranked fifth on the list out of fifteen. “Radiology is one of those jobs that could make you a millionaire in Canada while you get to work with state-of-the-art equipment,” wrote author Emily Wilson. “Many radiologists make around $360,000 a year and those at the top of their field can take home nearly $500,000.”

Company CFO took home the No. 1 spot. Medical microbiologist (No. 2), company CEO (No. 3) and pediatrician (No. 4) rounded out the top five.
