The majority of responses ITT will be from high earners or those with careers who clearly aren't in it for the money. I've seen this thread once a year on tMB for years.

It's a trade off. Most who are highly compensated aren't passionate about their career and vice versa. I chose money, but the definition of rich depends on perspective.

Edit: And to Or

I absolutely, 100% did it for the money.

I was 28. Most of my 20’s were ridden with debt ventures though as I was touring in metal bands. Save or invest as much of that shit as you can is all I can give for advice.

Hit over 100k household with my wife when we were DINKs. Under that now that she's home with our kids, but we're far richer.

Last year, moved into tech sales. 33.
I’m aiming at 200k this year.

 

[Juro]

Fuck. This year at the age of 34.

5 years of military service either hurt me in achieving this by taking me away from learning and getting experience in IT or being a veteran helped me land my job to earn this role.

30, first year out of business school.

I am a teacher so you can see me panhandling near the North 27th Walmart on most weekends. Does that answer your question while you sit in your ivory tower?

Same

Ditto. We be Plebeians

33, Sales is great. Zero college

25 - gotta love law school

What percentage of people are making 100k 5 years after law school? It's not high.

I was an associate slave for 3 years making $72,000 salary but in year 3 they gave me a Christmas bonus of $25,000 and a partner offer letter.

Now I just keep my good clients happy and only take new cases that I want.

I have 10 jury trials scheduled for 2023 and I know my client can pay because it’s the State Government of Missouri.

It depends a lot on the law school but in the aggregate I agree it’s not. Most people who go should not.

31 this year and came close. I expect to this year...

Which school in Lincoln?

+1. Ton of law schools are basically a racket. Like every single law school in Chicago charges the same amount for tuition w/ very different prospects.

30. Haven't. Doin just fine

@Cookiemonster, like you, I spent 15 years touring in a band and didn't really focus on my career until that was over. I'm also 14 years older than my wife, so she was in school for a portion of that. We were poor. Now she makes well over 100k and I just hit the 100k mark in 2021 when I was 41. I'm also lucky enough that I've spent my life doing exactly the things I want to do, so money has never really been the goal for me. I absolutely love what I do.

What bands were you in? We played a few metal festivals in Europe so we may have run in some of the same circles.
