[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like you either have to have a really really specialized skill set, or you have to be willing to do some kind of sales...e.g. a principal at a consulting firm is only as valuable as the work they bring in. [/quote] I think this is mostly right. But, finance is also a way to make a lot of money without a highly specialized skill set. I have a STEM PhD, and I'm a super under-utilized data scientist making $240K without a lot of stress. DH earns twice my salary as senior manager in an engineering company (also PhD). The people I know with non-PhD technical degrees who make our kind of salaries or higher are either in finance or got very lucky with the right start up. Without a PhD, it's a little more difficult to mid-six figure, non-executive engineering jobs.[/quote]
