Exactly. I dont make NEAR 6 figures, but I live pretty damned well on what I make because I live in Kansas City. Good town, good cost of living. Works for me :)

small business is a good way to make six figures. however, you're likely to put in more hours.

my parents make that and they immigrated to the U.S. with only a high school education.

I had one working as a SQA consultant.

Now I work full time with benefits, but much less pay. Trade off for security, I guess

All they do is taking others' hardwork and make tons of money.
It's so unfair.
Nothing personal :)
You're an idiot - no offense...

6 figures in sales? I have friends in technology sales, and I know they aren't in 6 figures.


I'm only half way there, but never will be there if I stay at my current job. Net Admin for local bank.

Sales is NOT a ticket to a high ticket income, but if you are in the right field and selling at a high enough level, you can make a LOT of money.

btw - high level sales is not selling a billion $1 widget, it's selling 1 $billion widget...;)

EXACTLY! You're prolly better off than most 6 figure NYers/SFers, b/c you can afford a house and other things that are almost out of reach for the jarhead urbanites.

LOL, that's like saying "I'm not racist but (insert racial group here) are all a bunch of thieving degenerates."

God I hate that. If you're a racist just admit it :D
