[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PAs, Pharmacists, Engineers are some of the highest earners at 30. By 50 they are earning peanuts next to their business major friends[/quote]

Pretty much unless the engineer goes to management and then it's a lot more stress. 
I manage an engineering team. Many at 30+ are at $140k with 40 hrs a week tops and only technical work to worry about. And they've been making over 100 with just a bs or ms (a little more) for a while. So those that saved early are in a good spot. [b]Not rich but comfortable.[/b] [/quote]

This is what I aim for. The execs at my company work insane hours, and I don't want that. I work 40-50 hours a week and my life is comfortable. I have free time to pursue other hobbies, [b]pretty much heaven upgrade from my parents' hellish low paying retail jobs[/b].[/quote]

See another working class striver. Almost all staff engineers are like this; elite family progeny went on to MBA, patent law, or Med school. [/quote]
