all of the people making 250k, 300k, 500k - what do you do?!

[Anonymous]

I thought I was doing well at 29 and 95k and thought most of the people making well over 6 figures are over 50 and very tenured in their company/fed who moved up to executive level positions, or of course the highly educated dr/lawyers. I am clearly just above the poverty line compared to everyone else on this board. 6 figures is NBD, but 250k, 500k?? What are all the late 20/30 year olds (who are not dr, lawyers) doing? TIA!

I agree.....sales can make six figures if there is enough commission on it.

marriage doesn't make a household. If PP has any sense he or she will never marry and pay the marriage penalty I do.
