[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have similar feelings. I’m 48, my best friend from college and I graduated with similar grades. I went into the federal government and he went into marketing, similar salaries to start. We’ve both risen toward the top of our fields, I make just over $200k and he’s in the millions. I know this is incredibly naive but I never thought about my trajectory when I was 22 and how limited my choices would be later compared to going into business field. I’m very envious of people who chose a more lucrative path.[/quote]

Your friends likely started a company to make this much in marketing.  Why would you compare someone trying to achieve wealth doing entrepreneurial things and someone working a job for wages.[/quote]

My friend is the global head of marketing for a brand everyone here would know. He does a lot of international travel for work and I know works harder than I do under stressful conditions, although my budget it larger. Still, he’s a tough one to compare with.[/quote]
