how the heck do mid 20 year olds make 100k+?

at age 25-26, people are making 100k+
assuming that they are not investment bankers or anything that is extremely hard to get into with large bonus payouts, what type of jobs do they have to make that much income?
At 30+ years old, it's very reasonable, but 25-26 is only 3-4 years out of college.

These are people with B.S. or M.S. degree at most. NOT considering specialized professional fields like M.D., J.D., Pharm.D, etc.

If you personally knew or know anyone making that much at mid 20s, can you be specific with what degree and major they studied in college and their position?

I dunno about all these liars, but I know a dude whos dating a girl I want to bone. He's some sort of investment councilor. At 25 he was pulling in around seventy five grand.
He's not even 30 yet and already darn close to 100,000 a year.

I should have gone straight for the money, instead of fucking around with electronics which is a dead-end field for Americans. The Indians and Koreans are stomping us.
 
I came out with an MSEE last year and my starting salary was somewhere between 80-90k base. With OT, I'm a bit over the 100k mark.
 
Master's + working in investment management. Also 30K in grad school debt, so not sure how you net that out.
 
advanced medical field is best bet

it's hard to bank that much out of the legal field

fucking pill collectors make 100k easy, that boggles my mind
 
Getting your MBA from a top B-school and find a job at a top management consulting firm. Starting pay for those firms for an MBA associate is $120k+.
 
also, forgot to say

if you don't have connections, its easy to do if you just spend enough in student loans hahah
 
Don't ask me. I wish I had a better paying job than this currently furloughed job. I am not even making 60k. Though in the private industry I would be making atleast 30k more a year.
My coworkers husband makes 150k as a project coordinator / construction management manager for the lax remodel.
 
Senior Security Consultant - 26 y/o - Degree in Computer Networking/security(Bachelor of Science).

to clarify, wasn't saying this was me. but I'm in the same career and know someone pulling 100K+ in the field and they are 26 years old.

Already have it

Edit: I put in the + because it could change based on the company's monthly bonus

I see..
Carry on then. Just making sure you arent like all the people I go to school with that are planning on making bank, but are still freshman

So like said above, mommy and daddy are already rich cus normal people wouldn't be able to go to college's like that even with financial aid/loans and daddy probably hooked them up with that job.
