[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How to make 100k easily by 30 in this area

1.  Go to a decent school and major in something with a decent salary outlook

2.  Get a white collar job

3.  Switch jobs every 2-3 years

There is nothing stopping anyone from doing this

You're right, but there's a difference between "anyone can do it" and "everyone can do it."

Getting a degree doesn't create a job for you, the area only has so many jobs available.  It's like when people say "if you don't like earning minimum wage at McDonalds, get a better job."  Well sure, that can work on the individual level but if everyone who didn't like earning minimum wage at McDonalds actually did it, most people would find there's simply nowhere to go.

Not to mention the fact that the $100K+ job pool shrinks even more when you realize that even if you get a white collar job, every time you go up in job title/salary you're taking up an ever more limited resource. There aren't as many CEOs as SVPs, aren't as many SVPs as VP, there aren't as many VPs as program managers, and so on. In many white collar industries (nonprofit, government, events, think tanks) you're going to hit your ceiling before you hit $100K.  [/quote]
