[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Court reporters (stenographers) can make 6 figures.  No college required, just learn the skill.[/quote]

Nothing could be more shortsighted in this day & age than just learning a skill.  Jobs change/disappear constantly.  The stories reported here, btw, are far and away NOT the norm.  People need college degrees more and more just to get their foot in the door, get started out, etc.  And they need degrees that teach them a broad range of skills and abilities - not just training for one particular job.[/quote]

New poster here. Some would say that learning a solid SKILL is a good thing.

Anyhow, an old friend of mine is a dancer, and teaches, and makes nearly $150k a year.

I know an editor-in-chief of a major NYC book publishing house who never went to college at all. She started as a secretary, and she was so good at editorial meetings that she worked her way up. Back in 1995, she was making $250k a year. I can only imagine what he makes now.

And a relative was the executive assistant to a Fortune 100 company. She made $200+ a year plus bonuses. This was ten years ago, in the boom years.

Someone told me that the bartenders at one of DC's best expense account restaurants make well over $200k a year in tips from their best customers.

I'm sure I could think of more. . . . . a lot of contractors must make that much, and much of it is off the books I bet.
