I came here to say this. My sister and the guy across the street in the $2m house at age 34ish. (ok, he has a spouse with a good job, but still).

I'd recommend that anyone with a high EQ and lower academic ability -- and it must be said, appealing looks -- go into sales

Almost all high-paying lawyer jobs are restricted to those who are extremely academically inclined--you need to get good grades in college and perform well on the LSAT, get into a good school, and then get good grades in law school.

Agree. Everyone talks about tech sales, but sometimes there is more money to be made in non-tech sales, and there are also good perks.

My DH outearns me and he works in non-tech sales while I work in tech sales.
