Many people believe a happy career and a fat paycheck are mutually exclusive, but online jobs community CareerBliss has found that these two things can go hand in hand.

CareerBliss compiled its new list of jobs that can make you happy and rich by analyzing more than 20,000 employee reviews of companies with at least ten reviews.

The reviews are from employees all over the US who evaluated 10 factors that affect work happiness on a five-point scale: one's relationship with their boss, relationship with coworkers, workplace environment, job resources, compensation, growth opportunities, company culture, company reputation, daily tasks, and job control over the work performed on a daily basis.

CareerBliss combined those numbers to find an average rating of overall happiness for each respondent and then sorted the results by job title and salary to determine which jobs pay well and make professionals the happiest.

Here are the happiest high-paying jobs in 2017:
