<p>When someone says that they “know” people who are making a certain amount of money, I think that they are saying they actually know them. Not people who have their own wikipedia pages that you can read about.</p>

<li>how are their investments doing in the last 8 months?</li>
<li>this is not really a recommended career</li>

Mark Zuckerberg and Michael Dell are not friendless. By not way am I saying that the poster knows those two. But why can’t we accept that someone who posts on CC knows some rich people (100K+) as friends?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I <em>was</em> questioning the fact that the person actually knew quite a few of these people personally (especially when I thought they were talking of students that make 165k+)… not that these people existed . Didn’t realize it would be hard for you to pick up on that august.</p>
<p>You can make 100k as a pharmacist :)</p>
<p>I’m at Columbia University in NYC right now, I’ll be heading into IB when I graduate. Salaries are low (60-80K) but the bonuses are better (30-50K). </p>
<p>I’ll make over 100K when I graduate. As for the $45K/year jobs, I’m making more than that now as a part time .NET programmer. I don’t plan on taking a pay cut when I graduate.</p>
<p>yo augustusceasar ur sooo ignorant and naive about life and college that its funny</p>

<li> I’m up a little over 30% since August, since I usually trade short-term, and I know a couple of poker players who have similar investment strategies as me. Of course, some of them are hurting.</li>
<li> It’s definitely not for the feint of heart.</li>

I fixed it for you.</p>

There is a way in which you can pay nothing for your BS and MD, get paid >$70,000+/year (with half of that not being taxable) while getting your MD, and get $24,000/year on top of what your residency would pay for as long as your residency lasts.</p>
<p>Am I the only one who just wants a job when she graduates?</p>
<p>Since when did pharmacists start making 100K? My dad was a pharmacist, had his own drugstore in the middle of the projects. He loved what he did, but never made a lot of money. I would say that his greatest accomplishment was that all five of his children finished college, paid for by their brains, ie, scholarships.</p>
<p>My beloved late brother did become a doctor. He worked very hard, and it wasn’t until his death, reading his obituary, that we realizded how truly brilliant he was. He was a NMF, president of his college fraternity, and was in every honor society available from high school through medical school. He finally became a “real doctor” when he was in his mid 30s, and had four beautiful children before his death at 40 years old. </p>
<p>While both men were truly “men for others”, one left this world as he always said he would, feet first, my dad, out of his drugstore, as he took care of the city’s needy.
My dear brother, though he had attained, finally, that six figure income, found that it did not buy him happiness and left all of us missing him every day.</p>
<p>PlattsburghLoser, you’re definitely not alone. My objective when I graduate is to find a job in the field I’m interested in. I’ll figure out the money situation after I get the job.</p>
<p>If I can’t find an 100K job after graduation then I’m unemployed. Not finding an 100K job means I can’t go into investment banking, if I don’t make it into investment banking then I just wasted time taking finance.</p>
<p>
…when in this ENTIRE thread did you see anyone mention anything about a pharmacist? That was quite random.</p>
<p>^
First few pages? LOL </p>

<p>Please read before you write.</p>

<p>The majority of the target schools don’t even offer finance or business as a major.</p>
<p>I’d like to end up like James Spader in sex, lies and videotape. Drifting around, all my belongings in one bag, taping women talking about their sexual preferences, always wearing my awesome black oxford shirt from banana republic…</p>
<p>But seriously, false dichotomies are one of my pet peeves. Why can’t anything ever fall between the two extremes? Sure, you can be an overworked yuppie who has money and no time to enjoy it or a starving artist/waiter into your mid-forties, but those are the extremes.</p>
<p>I say do what you want, just be realistic. I have no special respect for jaded people, but realistic people. Sure, move to L.A. and take menial jobs while pursuing a career as an actor. Just know that you may never get discovered or make enough money to quit your day job and might not have very good career prospects when you’re 35 and still tending bar. </p>
<p>Or go to med school even if you don’t like science because you don’t mind working hard and want to live comfortably. Just realize you’ve surrendered your right to complain when you’re not satisfied.</p>
<p>I always thought the comfortable middle ground was something that interests you. Not necessarily drop everything and follow your passion, or take a steady job you hate. From my internships I realized at the end of the day, a job is a job, and unless you’re getting paid to have sex on camera (and even then) working sucks. Public policy influences me, as well as public interest law. Hence internships with think tanks and law offices. Could i make more money as a banker? Probably. But it seems like an interesting career, and more pragmatic and stable than my dream-screenwriting. And who knows? Maybe some day I will sell a screenplay, but I’m definitely not banking on it.</p>
<p>Most people don’t make 100k+ ever in their lives (yearly)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Without the risk of getting your ass shot off? I like my ass perfectly the way it is…on.</p>
<p>Most law firms in Canada pay right around the $100k CAD range. Law firms in the US pay around the $150k USD range. That’s what I’ll be expecting.</p>

<p>is he talking about joining the army or being a drug dealer because i can’t find the post but both fit.</p>
