Become a Yes Man! Prostituting yourself to the powers that be in any organization is a proven formula, so you can really pick any industry. Fawn over them, go golfing, hunting and drinking with them, tell them their every idea is revolutionary. Facilitate their every desire while subjugating any ideas you may have about what is truly right for the company, the other employees, or society as a whole. Exaggerate your skills and accomplishments while you denigrate those of others.
This is cynical, but if you really are about just money it is exactly the path you should pursue. Like others, I am saying this specifically to put your request into perspective.
However, if you want all around happiness and quality of life, take a personality test like the Myers-Briggs (MBTI)which can give guidance to what activities would suit your particular makeup. Then think about what industries/companies work in accordance with your value system. You might also start reading about how visualizing your future makes it come to pass.
Otherwise, you can be making much money, spending much of it on illnesses which are unpleasant and can't be cured, and wondering if there is something you missed and why you are so unhappy. It is just a matter of tradeoffs, what you give vs. what you receive. But you never get something for nothing.
