11. I'd agree with nursing and biochemistry

As the Boomer generation retires, the increase in the number of Boom patients will continue to grow for the next 20 years necessitating the need for medical personnel, namely nurses, to take care of them. Many medical career fields will pay more money.

Biochemistry career fields cover a large area not only in research but in pharmaceuticals, biomedicine, laboratory technicians, etc..

I think the career fields that will pay very well in the future are more in the trades like plumbing, construction, auto mechanics, etc. where no degree or a two-year degree is all that's needed. It means less student debt enabling people to afford to live where they can better afford to live.
