Wow! I find this amazing. That is an associate degree, correct? Is this for real?

Re: ultrasound - that is correct, the entry point is a 2 year degree. My relative has a four year degree in radiologic technology plus an extra year for ultrasound. She has passed all registries as well (specializing further, i.e., vascular). She picks up extra work at two hospitals and a clinic whenever she has time. But the money is quite good even at the entry point.

On that subject, mammography, radiologic, and MRI techs are also paid quite well.

If you believe this you haven't lived in NY, CA or any money center throughout the world. I know a lot of sales people and even realtors who make more than big law partners.

Top tier professional incomes:

Biglaw partners: $5 million
Investment bankers: $50 million +
Tech and hedge fund executives: $100 million +

And biglaw partners are always bitching about the gap because they work every bit as hard, but they're essentially the hired help. For a smart and educated cohort, you would think that they would update their business model from charging $1k/hr for legal advice. That model is dying.

You're thinking of the "big scores" that make the headlines in the newspapers. Most big law partners, investment bankers and certainly tech executives are well, well below these levels!

And they get upset when someone asked them to describe their job description.

I know someone at the World Bank who makes close to $250 K. He recently got his accounting degree online (Bachelor's). He was promoted from security to assistant to a project manager to managing a group of over 30 people ...

World Bank is well known for over paying their employees. No one ever leaves there. They could never compete in a real industry.

I make 150K as a consultant to nonprofits on government relations and I can telework if I don't have in person meetings. The downside is that it feels a bit unstable- like could lose a client if they lose funding.
