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