Average frumpy midwit strivers from large public universities who "fell into it". Many try to seek out a more prestigious university for their MBA because they're painfully insecure about their degree mill BA. No kid goes to college dreaming of becoming a consultant, let alone a consultant at freakin' Deloitte.[/quote]

How else can a frumpy midwit striver make a 6 figure wage by 30 and squeeze into UMC lifestyle by hanging in there long enough?
I mean this is one way this society allows us to climb out of plebs life style, I am taking it no matter what glamorous high wit genius like you say 👻[/quote]

A state school striver can make $200K by age 30 or 35 in countless fields, most of which are far more fulfilling than a grifter at a mid tier consulting firm. $150K-225K is frankly not much coin, especially in a pricey coastal city. 10 to 15 years consulting at a mid tier firm is throwing the prime of your life away on...nothing. It's...pointless. Especially if you held off on marriage and/or kids, you will look back and realize how pointless it all was. A total waste of the best years of your life.[/quote]

Like tech? Tech only started making big bucks after 2015…

Google IPOed in [b]2004[/b] making its young and old employees millionaires to billionaires.

Amazon IPOed in [b]1997[/b] but was stingier with pay.

Also, if you go back 10-30 years, you have to adjust for inflation to understand pay.

20 years ago, a top college grad could get $90K+/yr with  a bachelor's only, age 22. Our coastal homes cost half as much then. Add promotion raises and raises matching inflation to that.

My whole point is, consulting is one way for a non-top student who also struggles with getting promotion to hit 200k.
