I mean sure.  My husband is in his late 30s and makes 53K working for a non-profit.

People work at non-profits, NGOs, in fellowships, as postdocs.  I was a postdoc from age 27-30 making 50K ~6 years ago.[/quote]

My 23 years old DS graduated from UMD college park in 2023 with a CS degree and he works for a nonprofit organization in Rockville MD for a salary of 105K and 25K annual bonus.[/quote]

Your DS has a Computer Science degree. I'm sure most of his company make a lot less. Great brag...[/quote]

The point is that if you want to make more than 80K in your 30’, study something useful in college and not basket weaving degree.  [/quote]

The reason why "useful" degrees, as you put it, make so much money it's because very few people have the aptitude or the money to get accepted into the program or to finish that degree. If anybody could learn these skills as easily the jobs that require those skills would make very little money. Furthermore, not everyone likes working in the fields these degrees give you access to. The poster above doesn't sound like they regret they choices, they're simply reminind you that most people aren't getting CS degrees and aren't making 100K+.[/quote]
