Where exactly do we compare to other professions within the United States in terms of pay. Would we make a top 10 list of highest paid jobs?

From my understanding the quote is in the top 10% of pay in the country.
 
Thanks for the reply. Any evidence of this though?

How Does Your Income Stack Up?

The data also make it easy for you to know how your income stacks up against your fellow citizens. The newly-released numbers show that an income of $31,987 or more puts you in the top half of taxpayers. Earning a bit more than twice that much -- $64,702 -- earns you a spot among the top 25% of all wage earners. You crack the elite top 10% if you earn more than $108,904.
And $388,806 buys top bragging rights: Earn that much or more and you're among the top 1% of all American earners.
Most full time pharmacists earn in the top 10% of the earners in the country.
