Anyone on here make a 6 figure salary and what do you do for a living??

Question

I’m a college student just doing my basics right now. I have no idea what I want to do in life. I’ve never really had “that talent”... like some people know from a young age they are going to be doctors, engineers, nurses, etc. I have never been that person. There is no single thing I’m amazing at. I’m good at pretty much anything I put my mind to and work hard at, but I don’t think I was ever naturally just born with that one thing that I was “meant” to do, if that makes sense. What I know is I want a job where I make a lot of money. I know that sounds bad and money doesn’t buy happiness but I’m high maintenance. I like buying nice things. I like not having to worry over money. I like going on vacations. I do not see myself happy at a job/in life where I’m worrying about paying bills. So I need ideas to look into

Answer

Yes. I'm an attorney, but the market for attorneys is so over-saturated right now that it's not the norm for attorneys to be making a lot of money anymore. You'd be looking at a starting salary of abour $40-$50k depending on what type of firm you're with and what type of law you'd practice.
Keep in mind that almost no career you're going to get into is going to have a starting salary over 6 figures. It's going to take years and years and a lot of work to get the type of salary you're looking for, and that's only going to be if you're really good at what you do and put in a hell of a lot of work.

My husband is an actuary, it’s a very lucrative job.

Answer

I’m gonna tell you like my husband tells our kids when they start talking about jobs and college ect . No one is born good at some thing. You can be great and succeed at any thing you want to do. Problem with most people in their job they dont have a passion for the work they are in. The thought is practice makes perfect. You find something that interests you and prefect it till your amazing at it

Answer

i do freelance ux/ui and design and most of the time make anywhere from $60k-120k/yr, but that's bc i first got into graphic design when i was like 12 and have built a regular clientele base in luxury industries for stable income. when i first started i was making an average of ~$7k/yr. 
my bf is graduating this spring and has an offer for $140k base salary and a total salary of $200k including signing bonus and stock options. he's a software engineer but it's bc we live in an area with a high cost of living; we both go to UCs, which most companies here recruit from; and he has a lot of connections in the industry.

Answer

My husband's in the oilfield and has made 6 figuires a year from the start. You don't need to necessarily be good at anything. You just have to be an extremely hard worker and be able to handle everything that comes along with that type of job. It's a way to make a comfortable living without a college degree or needing a necessary special skill. Women aren't as common in the oilfield, but they definitely exist if that's something you'd be interested in. I believe the pipeline, railroad, and mining also kinda work like that too

Answer

I’m an in vivo scientist. I only get to 6 figures because I am willing to work my ass off doing long hours and weekends and happen to be hourly. It took me 10 years to get where I am and you have to be compassionate as well as dedicated since there are animals involved and you’re studying compounds that will eventually go into man.

Answer

follow a career path that bring you joy or you’ll be miserable anyway.

Answer

I work in medical device manufacturing. I’m a plant supervisor for the quality department of our company. (We manufacture medical device products, my employees inspect product to ensure they meet specifications). I make just shy of 100k after my bonus. But, I’ve been in my industry for over ten years, you can’t walk off the street with no experience and expect to make that. I started with one company while going to school and was on the manufacturing floor making the product. I moved up and put in the time. I was offered a position at another company and again have worked my way up at the new company. 
You most likely will not find a job right out of college that pays six figures. Yes you want to make good money, but it takes a long time to get to that.
