Didn't make $100k until my mid 30's. I am in IT.

Wife got there in her early 30s. She's in accounting.

Many PR professionals in the government are GS-14s and 15s. Maybe you should try that


I'm not a veteran, I never finished my bachelors degree for financial reasons, and I don't have an "in" that I'm aware of. That makes my odds somewhere around one in seven billion, right?

Trust me. I'd LOVE to go government.


Here's a tip: Military Sealift Command in Norfolk is hiring a billion people right now at all grades. You just have to be a warm body willing to live in Norfolk.

It has less to do with comparisons to others and more to do with feeling trapped and powerless and utterly humiliated by the way my life has turned out.


You're only 34! Dear God, stop worrying about what others think and focus on what you have accomplish. I don't know if you have children, but being a good parent is much more admirable than making a high income. I say this because I have a couple years on you, and have a different perceptive, a much more reasonable one.

At 26, when I was in the military, I crossed over if you include annual bonus. I got out not too long thereafter, and the thing is, I haven't gone up all that much since. But we banked so much of what we made in our 20s that it's irrelevant at this point.
