Medical - with the old folks getting older that business is as close to recession proof as you're gonna get.

Currency TRADING!

It will be all over the place, which means a lot of BUY/SELLS...

You just have to be on top of it, which mean your hours on the west coast will be like 3AM-NOON

But lot's of money to be had in COMMISSIONS of the BUY SELLS!

Assuming that what you posted is a list of possible opportunities you are considering, I myself would weight the ones with no commute much more highly than the others, even if they paid somewhat less than the others. NOT incurring the psychic damage that dealing with heavy traffic routinely inflicts would be the biggest selling point for me. I'm at a point in my life where quality of life is just as if not more important than the number of zeroes on my paycheck, and sitting in heavy traffic more than an hour a day is one of the most damaging situations for me personally that I can think of.

My second criteria would be that I would have to be interested in the field in question before I would consider working in it. Life's too short to put tab A into slot B for 8 hours a day unless the work is challenging and interesting.

My third criteria would be if the job is one that I wouldn't be ashamed to tell my children about or not. Being a Mafia hitman or drug dealer pays well but the psychic damage it would inflict wouldn't be worth the money.

My close to last criteria would be salary. You gotta pay the bills, and sometimes you just have to hold your nose and do stuff you don't want to do if it pays well enough.
