The 20 highest-paying jobs for business majors

We recently turned to PayScale, the creator of the world's largest compensation database, to find the 20 highest-paying jobs for business majors.

PayScale first identified the most common jobs for business majors with a bachelor's degree (and nothing more) who work full-time in the US. They then ranked those jobs by "Experienced Median Pay," which is the median compensation - including base salary, bonuses, commissions, overtime, and profit sharing (but not equity) - for those in any given profession with a "typical amount of experience."

Not so surprisingly, a C-level job takes the No. 1 spot. Chief Marketing Officers make a whopping $172,000 a year.

Here's the full list:
