I will soon be starting at MS as a Fixed Income S&T Associate and wanted to know which role I should take and which desk to make the most money over time? Sales, Trading or Structuring?
long story short I have a large financial responsibility so I need to make as much as possible. Any help is appreciated.

Dump post. How do you get hired directly as an associate into a pretty good shop (MS rates is decent) without knowing this stuff? This is a post you'd expect from an incoming summer intern.
Trading will on average pay the most, but pay at a bank these days is more linked to how valued you are, which will be more linked to opportunity you are given and senior support than performance. So go to the desk where you think you will have a boss that supports you and vouches for you the most.
