What field should I try to get into if money is my main concern?

Alright so here's the deal, I'm about to graduate with a Master's in Mechanical Engineering from a decent school in NY. The problem is I don't really have a passion or serious interest in any one particular field. My main goal is pretty much to enter whatever field is going to make me the most money. I know that may rub some people the wrong way but it's the truth.

A little about me:

-I have my EIT License in NY and ~1 year experience in manufacturing engineering from an internship.

-My GPA was a 3.8 in undergrad and a 3.9 in grad school.

-I'm willing to relocate just about anywhere that isn't in the Northeast or in California.

Fields I'm currently exploring:

-Oil & Gas/Petroleum

-Wastewater

-Automotive

I'm assuming the smartest move is to go into a field where I can get a PE license, which is why I was looking at wastewater and petroleum engineering. I'm mostly looking for some guidance from those of you who entered a higher-paying field or know people who did. Thanks in advance!
