<p>^I know someone who got a job as a high frequency stock trader right out of undergrad from MIT and his starting salary was $200,000. He said by five years, he’ll be making ~$1,000,000 annually. </p>
<p>$200,000-$300,000 a year will allow me to live comfortably</p>
<p>I really don’t mean to be shallow, but anyone can make as much money as they want. It just depends on what you want to do, if you are happy with that salary, and if you respect yourself or not. I’m not going to lie, I think it is easier to be a hot girl what it comes to the high paying entertainment jobs. Girls can also be goldiggers if they want.</p>
<p>Nobody makes $500k out of college unless their dad hands them the job, trust me.</p>
<p>As Simon Cowell said of the entertainment world, “Work really hard for at least 20 years and you’ll start to see some real money.”</p>
<p>Not everyone can make as much money as they want. My friend wants to be a special education teacher, but she also wants to be a millionaire. She can’t control how much money she makes in such a career.</p>
<p>When I mean 500K, I don’t mean educational jobs. .& Yes she can be a millionaire. If she really wanted to.</p>
<p>At least 70k. My mom makes a little less than that and is struggling. I’m going to save at least $500 a month for my kid’s college. (even before I meet someone.) so when I get married we’ll both save, because our combined combined income will be too much for need-based aid (I want to marry a STEM person.)</p>
<p>So, basically, anyone can make as much money as they want, as long as they either have no self-respect or enter the entertainment career, which can take decades to enter and make any real money in, if it happens at all, especially if now everyone is fighting for the limited number of lucrative entertainment careers. Somehow, I think your viewpoint may be flawed.</p>
<p>Nope. You can also be a business man, and be like Bill Gates who is a billionaire and wasn’t even that good of a student. I plan on going into sports entertainment, which takes a year or two.</p>
<p>Also, a golddigger(sugar baby) doesn’t make any money; the person they’re feeding off of makes the money.</p>
<p>EDIT: shoppingislife- bill gates is a rare example. That doesn’t happen everyday. He could have still been as good as he is now, but if he didn’t have the right resources/backing, he wouldn’t have made it.</p>
<p>Do you really think it’s that easy to be Bill Gates? If it was, he wouldn’t be a household name because everyone could be Bill Gates.</p>
<p>Look, I’m just saying anything is possible. For start, you have to believe in yourself. & I believe in myself, how do you want to become rich and make a lot of money without some confidence? Anything is possible. Corny, but true.</p>
<p>Most of these people have a very warped sense of reality.</p>
<p>you sound like a stuck up rich kid with parents that have accomplished what you strive to achieve, “shoppingislife”</p>
<p>Yeah I live in my fantasy word, but it whatever lol.</p>
<p>I’m just saying the way you were presenting your view was flawed. It was as if you were saying anyone could step out of college and into an entertainment career or into the arms of a sugar daddy. It’s not realistic. Not everyone is going to make as much money as their heart desires. I agree with you that having confidence makes a world of difference, but you seem to neglect the fact that it also takes hard work and passion. My friend the future teacher isn’t going to compromise her self-respect or become a writer on a television show for money. My friend the actor isn’t going to exit college and automatically become an iconic actor, no matter how much confidence he has.</p>
<p>I’m not saying anyone can step out of college right away and be in the entertainment business making a lot, but its not going to take 5858320185990 years to make a lot of money. Also I second that about the sugar daddy/mamma thing. It is really not tough to get one when you are young and naive. (I’m not, just saying a lot of people who have them are)</p>
<p>prob. 700-900k a year.</p>
<p>Do you have any idea what it takes to make it big in the entertainment industry?</p>
<p>Anyone with a sugar daddy is not naive. Just the title sugar daddy says that the person sought out a rich person to date to use their money. What I don’t understand is why that came up as a viable option in the first place.</p>
<p>Guys, entertainment doesn’t always mean Justin Bieber, Britney Spears, etc. I am also talking about directors, script writers, a bunch of things.</p>
<p>I understand that. How does that make my question any less pertinent?</p>
<p>Those were terrible examples by the way since they both made their claim to fame as kids or teenagers.</p>
