3- Sciences
Having a graduate degree is almost a must if you plan on leading the charge for the scientific research in your field. The catch, however, is that you have to finish a doctorate (not just the masters) in the science field for it to yield the most reward; but since you will be an expert in a specific field, the chances of you obtaining a great position will be high. Another great perk of being in this field is that it has some of the highest early-career salaries compared to many other fields; average being around (80-90K).
Various areas of computer, physics, and chemistry do especially well in the field of science.
